Didn’t realize a thread like this existed, good idea.
I’ll have to edit all the footage still and smash it together, soloed the harpy fractal about a month ago and never did anything with the uncompressed video. Will try and get that put together when I have some spare time.
“Guess what, you know the odds when gambling in real life.” seems to be the consensus of the people who “wasted” a bunch of money and feel like they deserve something.
So, you’re obviously aware that you didn’t know the odds here and were aware that you were gambling. You guys chose to just dive in and spend money, how is that not your fault? If you really cared THIS much about whether or not you would get your skin why not let some other people spend their money and find out the precious odds for you so you could make an informed decision of whether or not to buy keys or spend those gems on gold to just straight up buy the skins?
Edit button disappears! Just saw that you’re Ehmry Bay too (Unrefined here), guess we’ve experienced both ends of the spectrum enough to notice these kinds of things.
I’ve been talking about this concept with my guild, not your suggestion, but just the idea of the score being demoralizing.
To keep morale up, I encourage my members to look at as “we’re all winning, because we’re all gaining bonuses for our server… one server is just winning faster, and one slower”, which is the reality of how the scoring works. Reminding everyone that “winning” provides nothing additional while staying in the fight and continually earning points to build up our rewards seems to keep everyone in a better mindset.
I sent a support ticket about this and tried to search on here for anyone with a similar problem but there were no matches.
For the past week or so I’ve been having “…” show as the ArenaNet name for most people on my Contacts List, Followers List and Guild Roster. It doesn’t matter what computer I’m logged in on, it seems to be something specific to my account. My wife who plays sitting right next to me doesn’t have the issue, so it seems to be unrelated to our guild.
The issue also effects notifications for people logging in and out of the game, it simply tells me “… has come online/offline.”
An official response indicating that this is a known issue even would be amazing, it’s just getting a little old having to ask my wife who someone is or who just came online every few minutes.
