“Each gift is given on the first birthday of the character, not the account.”

I am afraid that is stupid.

I have head start, beta and pre order bla bla bla and because I decided to delete a character after the first 28 days and re-roll it I now have to wait said 28 days. UGH!!

Should be account biased. I am playing the game not the avatar behind the screen.

Your playing an MMORPG, emphasis on the RPG. You are playing the character on the screen, your just allowed to have options when picking which one to play.

I here you and have excepted it. Just every other MMO allows for the actual account time to matter. But we all know GW is cut from a different mold. I am sorta over it. :- )

IIRC, birthday gifts in GW1 were also by character.

I’m also on another MMO that awards you a medal for each year of play per character, not per account. Some of my characters have 8-year medals, and some only have two. On the same account. I don’t think it’s as uncommon as you believe.

Perhaps not. All the MMO’s I am involved with do by account. If I knew this was gonna happen i would have keep the toons I created. Now I know and will consider that for future anniversaries.

Do you have a character created at launch, or did you at some point delete your first character and make a new one at a later date? The gifts are by character age, not account.

Yeah i totally did. About 28 days into it i deleted and re rolled cause I did not like the look of what I rolled. (role played :-p)

I understand the role playing answer, however I could have created a character on day one and not touch it. Then create another the same day. Only to come back 364 days later to get a one year gift on both. I am having a hard time seeing how that is role playing on the first one. Then again I don’t role play (except when I don’t like the way it looks) so there you have it.

I have 467 hours on my toons but I don’t have any of the original ones I created when I first started playing GW2. Does this mean I won’t qualify for the the birthday gift?

How many days have you played under /age ? Apparently you have to look under a specific toon.

(ex) my account is 368 days across all characters and only 337 days on my “main” I don’t have 1 year gift i am guessing i will have to wait a month to get the 1st one.

MrZero.4730:

It’s not funny anymore, my present is 3 days late and I only have one character. :’(

Agree, been waiting and itching to level a warrior but don’t want to put time into it w/ out the scroll.

Still no birthday e-mail today for me. I am another head starter.

Is is supposed to go out at daily reset time?

Look at this build. May not be 100% what you’re looking for but I think you will dig it. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/ranger/Hyjaxx-s-Re-Port331-The-new-hotness/page/6#post2483734

I am in complete agreement with OP. I found the new mechanic refreshing. I also love stacking vulnerability. Oh and thinks for the raven tip. Never occurred to me.
