Refund in gems

in Account & Technical Support

Hello. When the march deals were going on I was absolutely hoping for a character slot expansion on the list. When the deals were over, I and alot of other people were disappointed. But then a week later it went up on the gem store completely unnanouced in advance. I bought gems before hand. I was hoping I could get a refund in gems in the difference if that’d be possible… I don’t mind my 10$ being kept. But if I could get the difference in gems, that would be amazing. I see posts all the time where they get refunds because of the timing on sales. I even got one once. I’m just a bit concerned because support has literally been not supporting me lately and has been a humongous concern of mine as to whether or not they care about my tickets. Any help would be appreciated.

The one reason Cantha hasn’t been made or commented on (And the district removed) is because of NCsoft and their concerns about the mixing of cultural designs.
One of the questions that should be asked is who did NCsoft really speak to about this?
When China gets Guild Wars 2. I want the same questions asked to their community. Show them Cantha. Show them the screenshots from the Canthan district that got removed and ask them “Does these structures bother you in any way?”

So I don’t know how it can be done. Whether or not China has a reddit. But if it can be done. I’d like to shove the polls in NCsofts and Anets face and say “Look how many people don’t care. Make Cantha already.”

Sorry, but he sounds way more excited about the Thaumanova Reactor. I like the obligatory consolation prize pep-talk about Abbadon at the end.

Izzy has been an Arenanet Dev for longer, and seems much more enthusiastic about the Abaddon fractal. Your point?
Alot of people are restless about the current focus on the lore. How there are TONS of holes in the stories and lore on certain elements. We’re rushing forward without explaining the past. And alot of people are upset about it. There are plenty of “new” story based MMO’s with no backstory. Maybe those will be more your game.

My opinion on the vote for Evon.
The biggest point i’d like to make is it is my personal feeling that the 4 weeks deal doesn’t matter. No matter what, cheaper anything for 4 weeks is a good thing.
Waypoints = Good if you’re constantly doing world bosses and teleporting around.
Black Lion Keys = Good if you want Aetherized weapon skins (Possibly eventually other things too)
One more point i’d like to make is concerning the current state of the lore. Alot of people in the community feel like there is little to no focus on the history of tyria. Especially with alot of the Living World content, we feel like alot of the history of Guild Wars is going down the drain to be forgotten. So with the Abaddon fractal, it will give us lore enthusiasts something to play with for a while.

Evon Gnashblade
Evon isn’t a swindler or a scammer. The Black Lion Trading company is an honest company that believes in fair trade and is formed from hard work and honest labor.

Here’s some information about the FOTM stuff:

Reactor:

  • We get the same reactor, just with fancy additions to it, some interesting story (Maybe, fractals have a way of not telling any story at all really and purposely jumble information and confuse us. Ree Soesbee and other lore developers also said in a recent interview that this is how the fractals are and making connections to things from them isn’t always going to be cannon. Which I personally found annoying).
  • Here are some possibilities with the Reactor:
  • Possible Mursaat presence (Not more than one, maybe Lazarus will appear and fight the Asura. But this can easily come later in an expansion to the FOTM. I however like this idea personally.)
  • Lore on the dragons (Which we will eventually discover no matter what within the open world)
  • Lore on the Asura (Which we will discover eventually no matter what through either the living story, or an extension to the personal story of the Asura)

Abaddon:
We get a fractal possibly involving HUGE lore characters we’ve never seen before. We get to see a place in Tyria before the destruction was wraught on the Crystal Sea

  • We get to see a part of the lore that is forgotten in modern day Tyria.
  • King Doric, his army, and his armada of ships from Orr.
  • Possible presence of Lady Glaive and her pirates.
  • We will be able to fight Margonites before they were corrupted by the Realm of Torment.
  • Be able to fight Lord Jadoth after he was blessed with emmense magical powers.
  • We get to see Abaddon in his natural form. (Which would be AMAZING considering we’ve NEVER seen a God ON tyria.)
  • The possibility of seeing the Human Gods themselves

One of the biggest arguments against the Human Gods is people saying
“Why should I care about the Human Gods. My main is a Charr”

  • *Abaddon also blessed ALL races with magic. Not just humans. More especially the Charr. (IE, flame legion)
  • Abaddon influenced the Charr through the titans and tricked them into worshipping them as Gods.
  • This fractal is a chance for the Charr to finally see who tricked them.
  • The flame legion were heavily influenced by the Titans. And Abaddon controlled the Titans.
  • Abaddon set back Charr growth in his hatred of the Humans and the Human Gods.
  • The Flame Legion were sexist and set back the possibility of Charr growth through the suppression and belittlement of the other 3 legions.
  • This fractal could be a revelation to Charr characters to see and take part in the binding of Abaddon and to see their original enslaver and to take vengeance upon him.
  • This could also help with human and Charr relations. To finally see one of the Gods that destroyed any chance for the charr and humans to work together (Balthazar being the other one).

Why should you care about the Human Gods?
I can think of many reasons why you should care about the Human Gods.

  • Melandru and Dwayna believed in healthy relations with the other races of tyria. It’s just Balthazar and Abaddon messed that up.
  • Abaddon blessed ALL races of Tyria with magic. Not just humans
  • Abaddon enslaved the Charr to worship his minions The Titans.
  • The Human Gods are the 2nd most powerful things that have been to Tyria.
  • The last cycle on Tyria failed and the Dragons nearly killed everyone. The Gods came to Tyria and brought humans with them for a reason. Why is that? Noone knows. But so far it has contributed emmensely to the destruction of the Elder Dragons.

TLDR:
The 4 weeks doesn’t truly matter. Deals a deal, vote for what truly counts. Permanent Content
Abbadon: We get to see new stuff, discover things we’ll never see again since they’re in the past. Including a God. King Doric. And the Crystal Sea.
Reactor: Seeing the same stuff, and seeing things that will eventually get explained no matter what.

I don’t know why they wont respond, or if they have and I missed it then “ kitten #8221;
However, if they have not responded and/or have no intention of having Cantha return I have this much to say.
What about my immersion? What about my character telling his grandchildren about his fight to restore Cantha and purge it of the affliction. As well as defeating Shiro? Such an amazing tale that my characters grandchildren would certainly explore.
The loss of Cantha would certainly kill Guild Wars 2 for me…
Yet again money ruins an amazing story worth being told.

This is rediculous.
I got disconnected towards the very end, yet they want to make the most complicated way to make sure people got rewards.
Rather than that, how about making the event again, or have it happen 2 more times. To be honest it’s unfair with the sheer amount of rewards you can get from this.

Indeed. Same thing happened to me. Right as we’re about to kill the final boss I died, went to a waypoint, and as the game was loading I ended up in another overflow where it was dead.
I want my rewards.
This is dumb. 1 time event and it NEVER happens again. Thats stupid, it should be an allday event.
