Yep having same issue… you would think 3 yrs later anet would have things fixed…. here i am STOPPED AGAIN on working on another legendary cause of ANET legendary Bugs… Fix your stuff PLEASE or give us a NON BUGGY WAY to make these weapons.. oh yeah….. Actually Test them please!!!!
My Game would not Launch so i created a shortcut and put this in it, after the exe.
-autologin -nopatchui -email YOUREMAILHERE -password YOURPASSWORDHERE
After that i logged in. I use SweetFX, so i think it was messing with the launcher.

is it just me or SweetFx doesn’t work anymore after the update?
SOLVED
Copy the following files to the bin subdirectory:
d3d9.dll , dxgi.dll and injector.ini
restart game.
Just did this and it worked… I copied those files into the bin folder in the guildwars 2 install directory and it fixed it ! Thanks man you ROCK!!!!!

On the schedule:…
You’re either missing or not addressing what people are saying: that we don’t want to play on a schedule, regardless of what that schedule is. While the current setup may not be optimal in a lot of ways, it’s better than the train schedule that you’ve proposed. This isn’t about “I’m going to miss this or that”, it’s about being constrained to a very artificial limitation you’re implementing. This does have ramifications about missing things, but that’s not really the point.
At the end of the day, a strict schedule makes the game less fun for a lot of players.
On the other hand, a lot of players prefer having a schedule to plan around, and this may help eliminate the current situation where the world boss zerg takes out bosses for a couple hours after reset, and everyone who misses the train is out of luck because no one is taking on events for the remaining 20 hours.
That may be the main issue. I know on a few good days i have hit almost 25-30 world boss events in less than 3-5 hours, and im on my alts doing repeats cause of the daily reward limit.
then i spend the rest of time doing dungeons and mine runs. It felt like to me under the current system events get done from reset till about 1-2 am then all day the next day most events are dead or can barely fill to do event, i think they are trying to mabe fix that but not sure if this 1 boss every qtr hour is gonna really do that, but we shall see.
A few events i have just about learned to ingnore cause of the pain it is to do…errrm Teq and 3 Headed wurm… seems like after i got the achievments for them i didnt wanna do them anymore. To much of a pain to fill out after its been done once shortly after reset.

Guild Wars 1 is a very different game both in design and implementation. That’s all I can really say here.
Which is kind of sad considering this is “Guild Wars 2”.
As for an actual question: What happens to parties who complete a dungeon path in a contestable dungeon and are put into a map where the dungeon is now contested? e.g. a party uncontests CoE in Megaserver 1. They complete path 1, and when they return to Mount Maelstrom they are now in Megaserver 2, where CoE is contested. What then?
Yeah it would be nice if the dungeons were always open to those that have completed story mode. I too am curious how the dungeon thing is gonna work now, mabe with the increased pop now on each map it might be more apt to be open, guess we will have to wait and see. Good question though!
On the schedule:
- It is not written in stone. We will adjust it as necessary.
- There’s lots of ways to go about this, but the current thinking is that it would be more convenient to plan for specific daily times rather than have a “sliding” rotation. We felt this was particularly necessary for larger events like the Triple Wurm and Tequatl.
- Although the old system had certain advantages, it had some major disadvantages as well:
- Although non-scheduled events are more dynamic, you have a low chance of encountering events with long cooldown periods. Although it was originally thought that big events would be happenstance and rare opportunities that players would stumble on and become immersed in, we found that many players enjoy this type of content as a mainstay of their GW2 experience. When they can’t access that content regularly, we have a problem.
- On the other hand, you may be aware of the external event tracking sites and have been using them play on regularly basis. This is a good approach in concept, but there’s some major pitfalls if you miss an opportunity to play because of a new build or encounter an overflow server.
- The intent of the schedule is to:
- consistently provide access to large scale content for players who want to play it
- deliver that content in such a way that players can plan and organize to prepare for it
- help ensure that there are always enough participants in the content
- help ensure that there is always enough server capacity to for all of the participants regardless of overflows, megaservers, etc
- There are still and will always be a large number of meta-events and bosses that are not on the schedule.
At some point, we would also like to introduce a messaging system in-game so that it’s always clear what world event content you participate in without having to utilize a resource outside of the game. I have no guarantee or ETA of when we might actually see this though.
Having a schedule is all well and good, but one thing the schedule currently handles poorly, when the events you want to do ONLY occur at times you’re unable to play. Players are not at the beck and call of your master schedule, we have lives outside the game. There needs to be better ways that the player can find the event they want WITHIN the time they have available to play, rather than having to structure the time they play around the game’s schedule. Predictability is good, but there also needs to be choice.
Make it so that multiple events are running simultaneously, so that they can stack up on once-per-hour cycles instead of “one per three hour” cycles, and you can choose which ones you want to join at any given time.
I’m not saying that the current system is perfect, only that the new system you’re proposing is worse.
Sounds like one of the better ideas. Seen a few mention it already. mabe have multiple bosses spawn at those times so you can have a choice to do any of them instead of oh its 7:15pm time to kill this boss. Would be nicer to have it “Oh its 7:15pm, i killed that boss already but there are 2 more i havnt ill go to one of those instead”
Is there a reason why the District system wasnt adopted from guildwars 1 and used for the instances in GW2 map zones instead of the original overflow idea.

Cool thanks for the answer. Different game design and engine left you guys without the option to do that. ty ty. Thank you for the answer and thank you for the things you guys are doing, and thank you for trying to listen to the community. :-)

Thank you so much Anthony for posting that is some good stuff you posted there, nice to see you guys are watching this stuff.
I wanted to put something out there before it got buried in all the posts. Is there a reason why the District system wasnt adopted from guildwars 1 and used for the instances in GW2 map zones instead of the original overflow idea. Or was that idea tossed around and dropped for tech reasons?
That is how sometimes people were able to get in more bosses then with the schedule system. When in average it will likely be about the same.
Just ran over the schedule… I can tell that my usual boss runs will get halved, to 3-4 down from 7-8. Plus, I will have to stick dungeon runs in between and make sure I run “80 only exp speedrun” or I risk missing worldbosses. Not even speaking about occasional farming of Arah, Grenth and Melandru when they’re up – it’s either camping now, or… stop-reporting-minion-masters-in-Orr-as-T6-will-skyrocket-otherwise.
TL;DR: living by a timer is not as fun as it may seem.
thats too funny. the Bot community will save us from the anet dev community lolz
Furthermore, if we have a single boss at a time, we’ll always have to fight with the full zerg, and I think I don’t have to tell developers that killing Frozen Maw or Inquest Golem with 5 people is a lot faster and more fun than a 10-minute auto-attack on a gigantic HP bag upscaled by a large zerg who had no other bosses to do anyway. This is a design decision which will make the game less comfortable with the new system.
I was just about to post something to this effect. The new system means that people won’t stumble across a few folks working an encounter. It means that you and a couple buddies can’t go have an epic battle against Boss X. Scheduling World Bosses means that people either join the zerg or don’t. Scheduling these things takes so much of the spontaneity and fun out of it.
So true … same point i was trying to make a few posts back.. Guildwars 2, An epic game with a truly changing dynamic world……….On a schedule.. coming april 15th.. … just sounds silly lolz A dynamically changing world thats on a set schedule, just makes me wanna laugh!
I would really prefer to have several standard/small bosses spawn at once, instead of a single one at a time. There’re bosses I like, there’re bosses I don’t, there’re bosses I’ve done already in a different timeslot.

I enjoy doing golem mk2 solo or svanir shaman with a small group, and as it can be done in 3-4 minutes instead of autoattack-for-10-minutes-might-as-well-read-the-forums-or-go-make-a-sammich.
yeah im the same way some of the events i like to do and enjoy instead of the 500 player 10 minute 10fps rofflestomp that happens at some events. I was thinking a District System like guildwars 1 had but instead of in towns and outposts have it in each map zone. So people can actually have a choice. Fight the boss on a High Pop District or a low pop one. Or it even gives the option for people to meet in an Actual Place with an actual locale. Example: Hi guys in my guild. You doing Maw? if so what district are you in ?
I just dont understand why some game studios make sequels to their games and actually carry over some of the stuff that worked well in the first one over to the 2nd.
Strange question here, not sure if its been asked before. But wouldnt it had been easier to change how the overflow system works in general. To me the problem was the randomness of where you will be placed. Still seems there is a randomness to it. Guildwars 1 had districts for towns and outposts. Why not apply this to map zones so you can see a pull down menu of how many instances are up in a given zone and you can just messege friends and guildies and say. " What sparkfly are you in for Teq 1 or 12 ? is this not doable ?
Also just a minor suggestion, if anet can keep up with the things we do how about we get something in game that lets us know what bosses we have killed for the day and have it reset with daily. Im still having to go out of the game and use an excel sheet to keep up with what bosses i have killed. I think tracking bosses would be more important to most than actually having a schedule. Apparently the system already keeps up with this cause if you do the world boss on same character you get no chest. So can i get a GUI option in my hero pane just like Daily events that show Daily bosses.
yeah not a fan of the scheduling of a dynamic ever changing world.. just dosnt make sense in the same sentence? Not sure of the common sense behind putting the world bosses on a strict schedule. All other changes seem to be great but the Double wp fee/not seeing what wps are contested is not a good idea and def not a fan of the putting all bosses on a tight schedule.
i could be wrong but like i said before. Guildwars 2 was advertised as a Dynamically changing world with lots of random aspects to now a Dynamically Changing world on a schedule. Pfft Not happy with the last few sugguested changes. I will give it a try but if this company keeps missing the target on these updates i think myself i will move to another of the many good MMORPGS that are coming out soon anyways!
If it wasn’t for all the sparkly bluish effects, those armors would be quite nice.
Seriously AN! It’s like Dr Manhattan meets the Smurfs on Christmas.
If i had a dollar for how many times i have seen the Blue Skin referenced to Dr. Manhattan meets the smurfs i would be able to buy 4 sets of Sexy Smurf Armor now! LoLz
I am appalled by some of the people here who want to flat out REMOVE the armor because they don’t like it or “gasp” offended by it. Seriously people? If you don’t like this amazing armor set, simply don’t buy it but wanted to remove it or change it because YOU don’t like it, is completely UNACCEPTABLE.
Again, I personally think the armor set is AMAZING. If anyone doesn’t like it, then simply don’t buy it but DO NOT dare ask to change or remove it.
Totally agree .. dont remove like last time on flamekissed t3 mess up, you burned to many people on both sides of that. find middle ground.
I personally appreciate and love the new armor designs. I love how beautiful and bizarre they are, and think the blue ethereal aspect of it is pretty cool. I do wish we could dye that part, and can definitely see why others might want to, but understand that might be technically difficult. The medium armor is pretty much my favorite thing I’ve ever seen. I put it on my ranger and paired it up with the short bow, Stardust.
I’d like to ask of Anet’s artists, if I may, is there any way we could have the technical limitations of dyeing armor explained? Certain fields seem like they might be difficult to apply dyes to, and those all typically are fields which incorporate effects or glows of some kind. (The glowing green on the toxic shoulders and gloves, the glowing white of the Radiant achievement skins, as well as fire/embers glowing on armor, etc. And of course, the celestial/ethereal portions of the new Zodiac armors.) Is there a reason these can’t be tinted and dyed like other parts of armor? Sylvari glow can be adjusted and dyed, so I’m sincerely curious of the technical situation that makes dyeing these parts of armor difficult/not allowed.
Also, for the record, I’m very happy with my purchase. Please don’t take away the ethereal part of my armor. If you’d like to consider reworking it so it can be dyed (if possible) or release a second set without the ethereal parts, that’d be awesome! But please don’t take away what’s already there. I think the armors are beautiful and that the artists did an amazing job. I’m very impressed with the detail and bold and even controversial design.
This person likes this armor.. Anet please dont burn them like you burned me on Human T3 Flamekissed. Let the people who like it keep it and make it natural/dyeable as well. figure out a way to make both sides happy. You didnt last time and burned your chance at Real world Money from me for a while dont do it again for your sake anet!
I agree that I don’t want the armour itself changed, I see nothing wrong with revealing/sexualized armor in a video game. If you don’t like that style, you don’t have to use it. Same as real life, if you don’t want to dress a certain way then you don’t have to..Doesn’t mean the next person shouldn’t be allowed to.
my only request has been that the blue turns off when you toggle off the headpiece, or that they release an alternate version so I can switch and have my normal skin showing when I want to because I prefer my character’s face/hair/etc to the helmet.
Nicely put! Totally agree, I would have liked to have had that option on my human T3 that i copied the Flamekissed T3 Light before it was changed seems undoing a Transmute to my transmuted skin cant be done. I think before making new skins they make sure they have a properly working skin system first… just food for thought for anet.
Like a Skin Locker just like our Achievement point earned skins. Once i buy a light version i have it in my pane for all light classes, (Then technical Support problems related to SKins 90% solved) OMG just save money… im shooting in the dark here ?
(edited by hchadw.1097)
just because you dont like something doesnt mean it should be taken away from those that Do like it
i personally would buy 4 armor sets if i could afford em :L
->IF anything go on and ask for full body armor or something you like instead <-
I liked the Old version of the Flamekissed Light armor skin, My character had Human T3 yet because enough people complained i lost that.. So i used a skin i bought that i liked, Copied over my old T3 human with it and enough people cried about it and my new flam kissed t3 that was copied ontop of my already transmuted Exotic T3 is now an ugly FlameKissed Karma set.. so that argument you present doesnt work for me.
Instead of new ugly skins i would prefer our skins be put in our hero panes like the other Achievement skins. Skin Locker, i would like to see more actual features added to the game other than Gold Sink and Money Sink gimmics on the gemstore.
(edited by hchadw.1097)
Ahem, I love the skin.
If you don’t like it, don’t buy it.Ah that argument never gets old.
I personally don’t mind the armor. But I am sick of that argument/logic where something is completely immune to any form of criticism just because it’s optional.
Same. I tend to not really pay to much attention to it anymore these days.

New armor looks like trash. the Blue skin thing is horrible. does anet want everyplayer to look the same?.. Last time i complained about armor anet devs and forum devs spent more time giving me infraction points than listening to complants. Not gonna waste much time on it but you guys are getting greedy and quite frankly lazy. Love the living story but these new armors and gemstore items are looking more and more like you wanna be just like Sony Online Entertainment. They made Human Cultural T3 for everyone and everyone complained now they are making skins that make everyone look the same with Blue skin… Horrible and lazy hate the new armor and im spending less and less real money on this game. Stop Killing your game anet and start saving it!!!
Ahem, I love the skin.
If you don’t like it, don’t buy it.Ahem, I hate the skin.
If you like it Buy it.See works both ways and thats not the point devout follower of the anet gods.
Point is last SEVERAL things released on gemstore are a joke, they all seem like quick money grabs.. Really Blue Silver Surfer Skins, Looks like Character Customizations are out the window. Why use Make over kits too, looks like cutting off your nose to spite your face is what anet is doing… makes no sense. Crap looking Ascended Armor and a Skin for gems. If ANYTHING they should have made that the ascended skin IMO even though its still ugly to me
That not the point if you like it or do not like it the point is that its different from every thing else in the game. That the only important thing about adding in new skins.
im not quite sure what your saying?
I loved this armor set when I first saw it. I’m overjoyed there’s finally some attractive-yet-revealing sets for the boys (humanoid and otherwise). I like the effects and the design.
I do not like the “blue skin” effect. I see what the artists were trying to do and I can appreciate it – it’s supposed to be like the Zodiac weapons where the character itself is reminiscent of a constellation. The blue base, though, is very off-putting. I’d prefer to see a lower alpha on all of those areas so that my character was more ethereal than having the blue there instead.
I find the blue off-putting for several reasons. First, it’s very bright, a la Dr. Manhattan (Watchmen), Diva Plavalaguna (Fifth Element), or (I hesitate to say) the Smurfs. The result of the intensity of this color is that it appears to me like the skin is being covered by spandex, an effect that is intensified by the second reason: The blue completely covers the face. I feel as though my character is wearing a blue zentai (a kind of all-over bodysuit). Here are several examples (they are safe, don’t worry):
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9d/Blue_Zentai.jpg
http://images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/21400000/ICE-MAN-zentai-21465470-1222-1000.jpgI know it’s a little bit cliche to complain about armor with a Charr model, but in this case I think the preview on my character truly emphasizes what I’m trying to say.
http://i3.minus.com/jMyyjsxJVmGcM.png
His face appears chiseled and shiny, with a similar shiny effect showing up elsewhere on the body as well. I play on the highest graphics settings possible (because this game is absolutely gorgeous) and I don’t think the armor preview renders at the same detail; however, this is my primary way of determining whether or not to buy the item.
I like the peekaboo chest and thighs, I like the gloves, and if I could see the skin/fur instead of this blueness, it would be a sure purchase (for what it’s worth, I typically trade real money for gems rather than gold). Based on some of the outraged comments above, maybe there are cultural constraints preventing this from happening. If that’s the case, and the blue can’t be removed outright, perhaps consider toning it down around the face and significantly lowering the alpha everywhere else – maybe 0.2 on the 0-1 scale. I’d be a little disappointed about not having this awesome armor “cleanly,” but it would be a major improvement and a look I could see myself using.
Hopefully this kind of feedback is something you can use – it’s a bit scary to post here!
TOTALLY AGREE! you put it an informed nice way. I grow tired of doing that myself but yes you nailed it.. the blue is the main thing that really urks me… it makes me ask, why even have a character customization screen in the first place?

They made Human Cultural T3 for everyone and everyone complained now they are making skins that make everyone look the same with Blue skin… Horrible and lazy hate the new armor and im spending less and less real money on this game. Stop Killing your game anet and start saving it!!!
Ahem, I love the skin.
If you don’t like it, don’t buy it.
Ahem, I hate the skin.
If you like it Buy it.
See works both ways and thats not the point devout follower of the anet gods.
Point is last SEVERAL things released on gemstore are a joke, they all seem like quick money grabs.. Really Blue Silver Surfer Skins, Looks like Character Customizations are out the window. Why use Make over kits too, looks like cutting off your nose to spite your face is what anet is doing… makes no sense. Crap looking Ascended Armor and a Skin for gems. If ANYTHING they should have made that the ascended skin IMO even though its still ugly to me
Besides this is a feed back section.. Why are you responding to my post.. that was a feedback post not a free to flame post by other people ?

New armor looks like trash. the Blue skin thing is horrible. does anet want everyplayer to look the same?.. Last time i complained about armor anet devs and forum devs spent more time giving me infraction points than listening to complants. Not gonna waste much time on it but you guys are getting greedy and quite frankly lazy. Love the living story but these new armors and gemstore items are looking more and more like you wanna be just like Sony Online Entertainment(Quick Money Grab). They made Human Cultural T3 for everyone and everyone complained now they are making skins that make everyone look the same with Blue skin… Horrible and lazy hate the new armor and im spending less and less real money on this game. Stop Killing your game anet and start saving it!!!

I just created an opinion poll thread but it was merged. I thought it would be nice to see what ppl would like to happen next with this set and its skin. I also thought that it would make things easier for them to have a single thread that was only a poll so they could get peoples opinions without reading all the discussions but obviously not lol. I might as well continue it here as they merged it to here. : )
Copy/Paste/Edit the options with your replies. : )
(feel free to add new options ofc)
[ ] Change the skin and refund those that don’t like it.
[ ] Change the skin but let ppl choose old or new.
[ ] Change the skin but let ppl how used it on human T3 to keep old one.
[x] Keep the skin and change the other two sets to T3 skins.
[ ] Make three new sets making three T3 sets and three normal.
Personally, I don’t care what they do as long as I get to keep the existing skin. Unlikely I know : (
5th time a charm! :-)
Okay, it’s based off a T3 Racial armor. Big deal, lol… I think the flames compliment the armor nicely. but, oh, who am I kidding….? someone spent 120 gold of fake money, something that doesn’t truly exist and now they are outted imaginary money? Really? Just because the Flamekissed, in essence, is NOT exclusive? It’s because of that, me and others may be penalized someone else’s dislike of the concept, even though WE knowingly bought it cause we loved it.
Oh yes, that’s real fair.
And where do you think those 120g plus transmutation come from? You find it reasonable people spend hours to gather that amount of gold only to be presented by pretty much identical set that would cost less than half as much time or gold?
Do you find it reasonable for players who legally paid for such a thing to have it removed it from them as a bait and switch-which is what it all looks like right now?
Human T3 without the particle effects looks nicer than its fiery version, and is still exclusive to Humans. I consider the Flamekissed version to be an affordable variant, not necessarily an improvement. It shouldn’t have been based on human T3, IMHO, but it’s too late for that. The fact is that the human variant never lost its exclusiveness due to it being the original, “vanilla” model that no other race had access to.
There not removing what you “legally” payed for you didnt pay for the armor the armor was free. The gem’s you used to buy said armor where what you paid for. They are going at a minimal give you back 800 gem’s if you dont like the new armor redesign.
If you go to a gas station and select unleaded fuel for your car, but yet the tank underground has diesel in it so you put Diesel in your car even thought the button you clicked was Unleaded isnt it the gas stations fault for having the wrong gas in the underground tank or is it your fault for making a mistake you couldnt have possibley known about? thats pretty much what ur saying!
It’s just sometimes in big fights it’s extremely hard to see where it is in its current dull brown color.
i feel the same way.. some small Gold Mouse cursor in a huge zerg fight is harder to find than staying alive!
hey folks, since this flamekissed-armor-thing an idea came into my mind.
the t3 armors of each race should be forgeable, together with certain lodestones to recieve particle effects.
e.g. a t3 chest piece together with a 5 charged lodestones, 50 mystic coins and maybe an augurs stone to the forge -> t3 chest piece with bolt-like effects.
same with corrupted, glacial, molten, onyx, destroyer, crystal for : ice, water, fire, darkness/green, lava, mesmerlike purple shiny.
so people can choose which effect they want. people were crying about anets obssession with fire, so this would be a cool alternative imowhat do you think about the idea?
+1+1+1
Great Idea i was coming here to suggest something along those lines. Maybe even use dungeon rewards for it or something. Like a Gift of Baelfire/Gift of Ascalon Etc.. mixed with lode stones to add the partical effects to any set of armor would be awsome!
I’ll just move this here as my thread is empty.
Thanks for listeningI am very glad that ArenaNet has been kind enough to listen to their fans and keep Racial Armors exclusive to their respective race. It shows that they do, in fact, value their players time. Thanks for hearing us. That said, there is no reason ArenaNet shouldn’t make some good money off of some nice skins. Here’s how:
Make a 4th set of “cultural” gear for all races in some future update. Use your previous designs to inspire your work on these new sets.
These sets should be essentially a “gift” from one race to another. A sign of cooperation and respect, from norn to asura, charr to human, and so forth. Dungeon gear essentially fills this role, but fails to capitalize on two counts. One, it doesn’t fill your coffers. Two, instead of representing the 5 great races of Tyria, many dungeon sets have other themes.
So, say for example I really like the amazing design of human t3 light armor. As a designer I want other races to have something similar, something to represent some fictional human tailor’s appreciation of his female Norn elementalist friend. First I take the cut of the top, the cut of the cloth into a bikini top is acceptable for both races without sacrificing the uniqueness of actual existing t3. The gems that hang from it however, will be changed. A single large gem now hangs in its place. For the pants, I keep the long flowing robes, but change the swiss cheese like holes to another pattern and cover the tiny spot of visible hips. In this method, I slowly warp the design to a new albeit pleasing aesthetic that still looks like a human designed it, but is a gift to all races. In this method, you can take any of the neat cultural armor designs and create a new armor set that honors the race that wears it rather than plagiarizing it. After all, what human ranger wouldn’t love a set similar to Eir’s wolfborn inspired clothes? Cultural gifts, available to all could celebrate what makes Tyria so cool and make you guys some good money. (It would be great for Wintersday, but I doubt you have time to make that many sets so soon.)At any rate, Thanks again for listening!
yeah i like that idea… The story mode makes you create a Pact… at the end of the game you get Pact Weapon choice… Why is there no Pact Armor choice … ya know pact designed armor for each race/class in tyria… thats what Pacts do… just look at Nato they try to conform to using same type of equipment/Ammo and such so they dont have a mix…………… seems like The guildwars pact would do the same. Race Armor cross overs would be nice… we can dream right! LOL
I rolled a human for many reasons including t3 armor etc, people who are calling people who dislike the human cult armor being sold at the cash shop and calling them “kittenes” are morons. The set costs less than half of actual armor. That’s crap, how would you like it if something you paid hard time or money for, had to pick a certain race to get it and suddenly it’s for everyone?
It’s not fair to anyone who rolled a human for the armor because they cannot race change. So stop calling people who complain selfish, you kittenes are the ones being selfish because it’s all benefits for you.
10 real life dollars > make believe money
Your mistaken thought the armor did not cost 10 real life dollars. The armor cost 800gem’s which technically have no real monetary value since there backed by no governments.
Anet made true on there promise when you gave them 10 dollars they gave you 800 gem’s to spend.
This is correct. You choose to give them your money. If you do not feel that you got the value you were expecting perhaps you should refrain from giving them your money in the future.
thats what i will be doing… LOTS of refraining LOL
So many joke names coming to mind now

Yes some players might have bought gems specifically for this armor. But that doesn’t change the fact that in the future they have 800 gems they can use to buy something else they want.
And honestly, I’m pretty sure that for most buyers, this wasn’t their first time using their credit card to buy gems. When Anet releases a new skin, they will probably buy it. Or the one released after. Or after.Point is : they aren’t going to lose those 800 gems. There’s nothing disingenuous about that.
No the point IS lots of folks feel bait and switched.
How can you feel bait and switched thought? There offering you a refund bait and switch would be telling you we have product A then u buying Product A it being product B and us saying tough luck no refund. There offering to do the right thing? I have mentioned it numerous times. How can you feel baited and switch when you rent a product. When you rent a car if the rental company does not have said promised car in stock you get the next best thing.
And how are they going to fix the other things, like give people their old armor back, Money spent on Hairkits/ Dyes to match armor up. Weapons to match the new armor.. just seems many are being shortsided with there solution not realizing the problem is much larger than more complex than.. (you get your gems back whats your problem) attitude.. ANet Mods and Devs are acting the sameway.. u work for them ?
There will still be a flame armor and their changes will still match so nothing will go to waist. In the end they customized to match the theme not the model of the armor.
One of the biggest aspects of the “endgame” is kitting out your character in specific armour parts. You can have items that are similar in theme but very different in style.
As it stands the replacement flamekissed light armour is going to have to be outstanding to in any way lessen the impact of this debacle.
Based on past trends Anet will probably reskin a terrible light set and be genuinely surprised at the outcry.
You really think they would be that stupid to come up with another recycled set after all this? I’m pretty sure the new set will be amazing and most people won’t even want the refund.
That hits the nail on the head.. Balls in their court now.. Fingers crossed … this light set better be the design of the new year or come december many might just finally move to new games and shelve this frustration. Thats what im afraid of cause i love this game and would hate to see bad moves force it down the drain!
That’s not the same thing. That’s two different businesses. This is a more realistic interpretation of what happened. (IE this became a scam)
“If someone said to you Buy this rock for 100 dollars and you can have this awesome gold bar worth 5000 dollars. Then once you bought the 100 dollar rock said you’re not getting the gold bar, you’re getting a STICKER of the gold bar, its worth 25 cents, deal with it. You can go through a terrible process to get your rock back if you spend a lot of time going through our process, and no you don’t get your 100 dollars back.”
Stop with this silly examples. Your business with Anet ends when you purchase the gems. What you do with it is your decision.
Im sure people would stop with their silly examples if people like you who directly attack others posts and seem to not get infractions have to be shown in the easiest way possible to explain more than the onsided point of view you/they have mabe some of us wouldnt have to use silly first grade examples to communicate with some of the people on this forum

I hate to break this to you but that’s not there problem. Lets say you decide to go out to a fancy restaurant to eat. Make reservations to go to said restaurant you go buy a new suit/dress get your hair done rent a car etc. When you get there the restaurant is closed even thought you had reservations. There not responsible for your other transactions. That was your call to spend all your gold/cash on those item’s. They already said they will be returning items you transmuted over to you.
Your example is Bad in all senses of the word. For starters this is a virtual Transaction/Mini Transaction not a resturant.. Usually when companies dont have to face to face much with their customers they are more appt to not put in as much effort to correct your needs than if your standing there. I promise you if your exampled happened to me (which ironically it sort of did in a weird way) i was fed for a week for free at the resturant to make up for their mistake.. if Subway can make me happy then Sureley Anet can..
Your argument is mute and also doesnt hold water with me as well!
Arenanet I think you can fix this mistake upgrading medium and heavy to T3..
yeah. they should just drop the whole cultural thing, cause after this im ready to shove Tyrian Cultures off a clift! LoLZ
So we basically can’t rely on anything we buy from you anymore. Thanks for using our trust and making this clear.
Thats how i feel.. now i will be VERY standoffish on Gemstore purchases in the future. Who knows one day i may buy something again but no more immediate impulse buys for sure on my part.. i dont trust em anymore!
ANet already said they’d work with individual players on a case-by-case basis and restore them what is theirs based on if the players are unhappy with the results of this situation or not. If you transmuted Flamekissed over T3, they’ll send you T3 armor. If you changed weapon skins to go with it, they’ll refund those. They will do their best to support you, because that’s what their customer support does (and they do it well).
Have a little faith, don’t lose your head, and submit a support ticket when the armor is changed if you don’t like it.
We shall see. Last time i used their support system they had no log or idea what was happen on their own system.. Lets see if this new Upgraded support system is worth a Flameseekers Rear!!!!

Your rent comment doesnt hold water with me… I swear i see i have bought with 800 gems .. not rent with 800 gems.

I want those who got it to keep it. I’m human, not THAT many people bought it, its not that big of a deal that some other race gets to wear a reskinned version of the oh-so-precious human cultural (seriously?), people spent MONEY on this, and its a very bad and untrusty move for ANet to take what they let us buy. Let us keep ours, reskin it and just let it go, but don’t screw over those who paid for it.
I think growing up we called that Indian Giving! LOL Anet is now Indian Giving items on the Gemstore and Non-Discounted Prices…. Hurry while supplies are not being complained about !
Not sure if bold and caps will help here, and sorry if it breaks any rules.
IF YOU USED THE NEW FLAMEKISSED SET ON AN ALREADY TRANSMUTED ITEM, YOU WONT LOSE THE PREVIOUS SKIN, IT WILL BE REFUNDED THROUGH A CUSTOMER SUPPORT TICKET
And for those who spent gems “for the sole purpose of buying this skin” yes you are at loss even though you will be refunded the gems, you are a minority and they have to please the majority if they want to fix this issue, specially when the only fix you want is to keep the armor unchanged, and that simply won’t happen.
And point us to where a dev has said this please.. not just you in caps?
Those who say “we wouldn’t have bought 800 gems”, stop saying like this was the first and last time you ever use gems. “After this, it was the last time !”, see you in a year and let’s see if you never used gems.
You’re being a little disingenuous here.
While there may be people who state they will never again buy gems, which in a lot of cases we all know won’t hold, there are distinctly people who did buy gems specifically for this armour, and potentially would not have were it to look like something else.
Im one of those people.. I wont buy gems any with cash i know that for sure, and many in my guild and others have informed me of the same thing..
This is like walking into walmart, buying a Tshirt, and just before you get to the door an employee says “Sorry sir you cant have what you bought, to many members of another store chain bought that shirt and its for their members only so im gonna have to take your shirt and give you a refund and this ugly pink shirt in exchange”
This is what it looks like is happening.
The way i look at it if the new skin stinks i want a refund for my old T3 which is 120+ i want a refund on my 5 trans stones, along with a refund on my 6 scholar runes. So i can Re-make my T3 Armor!
(So basically i would need about 160G on top of the 800Gems to make me happy or they can forget money from me again)
Otherwise this company WILL not see any more cold hard cash from me and many others i know. I really dont care what anyone thinks or even anet devs think. Its really easy not to spend Real life cash on this game… and after this fiasco it will become much easier for me or others NOT to spend cash in this game.
You can buy a legendary from a gemstore.. Just pay for gems and trade.. I think that kind of commentary it isnt good for the whole mess we have here
i know right… buy gems, convert gems to gold, buy legendary… but do that with cultural t3 armor and …………..insta crucify!
^This. If they think 800 gems and reverting the armor back to its original skin (the very first skin used) is enough compensation for this whole fiasco, they better think again. A debacle as big as this cannot be satiated by that alone. In fact, that’ll only introduce another outrage.
Then again, there are people who believe it serves us right. Look what someone answered me on another thread. Priceless really.
…The answer by the community to the release of the Flamekissed armour was almost unanimous – hence the response from ANet that must have happened. In-game chat, forum chat, reddit, literally everywhere the community objections were present.
If you then went on to craft new objects in order to match the new looks – let’s face it, it is your own mistake. The mistake on ANet’s part to release this skin was like a “bug” of the game that should not have happened in the first place. The gem refund is all that you deserve, really.If you start being reasonable, it is anything but priceless, really. Just think it over. You will arrive at the same conclusion.
So you actually believe that people who lost their previous skin (which can be expensive, T3 and gem store set I look at you) and will only be refunded gems is fair? I mean you really believe this? For a mistake on Anet’s part? Some people are losing money here, some are losing a lot of gold here and you find it normal? And you tell me to be reasonable? LOL sure.
Before putting posts like this, stay informed. ANet, in their official response, stated that the support team will answer ALL the personal scenarios with regards to the acquistion of the skin. Instead of starting a mess, await the solution they propose to some personal cases. And yes, that’s part of being reasonable.
Best regards
Yeah it’s all nice and all but some people in this very thread have contacted the customer support who said otherwise so who are we supposed to believe now? The one who we are supposed to contact and deal with to be compensated or a forum post explaining how they didn’t see the new armor looked so much like the T3 one because it wasn’t obvious enough for their art team? Bait and switch at its finest and yet there are still people who tell you things like it serves us right for buying it. Amazing really.
Just be patient. If you do not like their solution, they also stated they would consider new ideas for the solution of the problem. Just stay tuned.
Best regards
Mabe another (Ooops We messed up) NPC like the one for gathering tools exchange, in the black lion that you can walk up with your unequiped armor and change it back to its previous state.. Like get my old T3 Back in exchange for my flameCloneT3. NPC changes armor back.. gives me my 800 gems back and we both are happy.. NPC has a job.. I have my old gear back… or can that be done ?

Im in hopes its handled the best way for everyone .. been a fan since the begining of GW1 and Beta till now in GW2 and .. well its been a rocky ride but i hope anet can move past this and step up their game a bit on the QA and this things sorted. IM afraid my current love for this game as with many other players has been waivering, inlight of the Gather tools/Buggy Dungeons/ Living Story Glitches/Scarlet being played out. just so much not going well… would love to see some positive momentum for a change, we shall see how this is handled and hope for the best.. Love my armor….and i would love to see solution just like many others that dont have me losing my old T3 and then losing my New T3 to some lame thrown together creation to just hurry and please people. Sometimes its best not do it if you can do it right. Please stop with the harm to ur beautiful piece of artwork Anet.. Fingers Crossed!!!!

Everyone is Heck Bent on only seeing their point of view. People like me that already had T3 got this new skin under false assumption we could keep it.. Now I like many are now going to be more afraid to make a purchase in game cause if people dont like that its on the gemstore we can have it easily taken away… For me the Gemstore has now lost all Credibility. Why buy from a place thats gonna swindle ya in the end…. Sike .. you thought you was buying what you looked at but NO we change stuff on ya… its how we conduct a great business with our loyal Customers. They dont see this kind of crap pushes people to gold sellers and such and underminds all they are trying to create
