Guild Wars 2

Maybe there are others that can add names etc and flush it out better. My idea mainly is just a way to incorporate a few different existing game mechanics into an event that will be interesting and give a way for all to feel like they were able to take part in it.
By taking elements that exist in PvP and Pve they could have really made this event fun. Take the spawn areas that currently exist where there is an AoE that kills you fast where you have Mob spawns that have to be controlled other wise there gets to be far too many mobs. Add in NPC spawns at locations nearby that spawn in intervals? or require supply to spawn similar to the new Stronghold.
Now you need groups to protect these NPC’s while they try to get to specific areas (maybe control points)in order to get to staging areas to set up weapons that will remove the AoE/shield and allow the Big things in the center to actually start taking damage (in the manner that they currently do from the bombs that are dropping or you could have another type of NPC that spawns when you take over the control points that actually drops these bombs that are required to kill the big things in the center of the AOE fields)
That would make sure players have a reason to really protect the first NPC’s to get them into positions.
After the big things in the enter get destroyed have them drop things that players will need at the end of the event in order to spawn a 3rd type of NPC that will be needed to help in the finale of the event sorta like the scarlet one but with Mobs that require that 3rd NPC to kill them? so that the players can finally engage in the main fight with the boss and hear DIE! DIE! DIE!, DIE! DIE! DIE!, DIE! DIE! DIE! on a loop
all these things together would give everyone on a map ways in which they can help and get credit for the event. Of course there may be others that can do a much better job scripting the event and adding names etc sorry that is not my forte. Just wanted to give what I thought would have made interesting zone wide encounters

I am not purchasing the expansion until it is announced that current game owners will be receiving a character expansion slot with the purchase of the expansion.
That’s not just $50.00 that Anet is not getting. That is $200.00 since I am head of the house of a home with 4 accounts for GW2.
love the game and have spent a decent sum on the Gem Store but will also hold off on that until this issue is resolved in a satisfactory manner

IMO they could have handled this whole thing differently. Once they decided to pull the original Flamekissed and while selecting the new armor style that would be the basis they could have chosen several and had a vote of some kind (sent out email notification) after the base armor was chosen they could send email explaining what was chose and if that was not going to be as well received give an option for gem refund or cash (yes for those that spent real cash for gems to only offer fake currency in return is lame)

Instead they pulled it said they would work on a new flamekissed armor and said nothing. Then released the armor and expecting us to ask for a refund. That is bad practice.

IMO they should be either figuring out a way to refund cash or over compensate people who spent real cash to purchase something they were selling. For all those complaining about the in game gold they spend…. please that is fake money. Real cash was used to purchase gems to get the Flamekissed armor (at least in my case) giving me gems back is not really a refund. What am I going to do buy another set of armor they can swap out for something uglier the next time someone complains?

The thing is many of the people that purchased the Flamekissed armor would have been very happy if they would have at least picked an armor that is semi decent on human males. you look at the females and it does look pretty decent. The male version is horrible. Giving Gems back really isn’t fair either Real Cash was used to purchase those gems in many cases. Anet got their cash for some good looking armor. So give us armor in return that has a similar level of appeal. Giving gems back isnt really a “refund” because Anet got the money. The gems will either sit there or get burned up at one point or another. Getting our real cash isn’t going to be an option for many of us. So since Anet took real cash for something was actually desireable but turned around and gave us ugly unwanted armor they should figure out what to give us to make it up

maybe a stupid question but… is there no way to track or check ticket after you submit it? I see nothing to indicate I submitted one.

The crazy thing is while you would see the occasional female character wearing the feather armor (and it looked halfway decent) You hardly ever saw any male wearing this Feather armor cause it is ugly. They know this. Why would anyone want to spend real cash to get armor that almost no one wants with some added flame that so many other armors already have.

It was a pretty fun fight. Thanks to the people coordinating the lanes on Ebay

I finally got it working by changing the language on the log in screen then after it restarted I changed back to English restarted client again and poof it worked (everything else failed to work)
