Guild Wars 2

Well, imo this game needs a lot more of simple, realistic weapons. Right now we are an 80’s disco on some bad drugs.

While I agree, I think that Reaper of Souls is an anticlimactic finish after 9 hints from John.

I’m glad it’s fugly. That adds variety to weapon choice — witness those enthusing over it — and saves me from the effort of gathering all the mats

I mean, I’m a big proponent of realistic weapons, but realistic can still be pretty (love my Bonetti’s Rapiers, yes, yes I do). Even my street rat fighter takes good care of her armor and weapons, since they are what save her life. That amount of rust? No thanks!

The thread with the clues and speculation was the fun part of the Reaper for me. The end result needn’t be a must-have when the journey itself was my reward.

Its a very ugly skin. Looks like its worth 1-3g at most.

Yeah, I mean where are the garden hoes, butcher knives, etc? Who wants cool looking, unrealistic weapons in a fantasy game? I want to spend lots of my fun time acquiring fake, everyday items! Give me realism in my fantasy world!

…

Lawl! Right on brother. Love it!

Wow that has to be the fugliest skin lol. I feel bad for the peeps who put their bloods into that

Ninja katana greats word = gem store , rusted overhyped weapon = in game acquired.
I’m glad they r releasing new in game weaps but for kitten sake can we get cool rewards that are attainable through gameplay? Ido if they’re acct bound jst make it rewarding pls.

Define rewarding? I don’t know if you were invloved in the “Zomorros told me a secret” thread where this weapon was revealed, but trying to figure out the clues, and what items were needed to get the weapon was a ton of fun. Then actually getting the weapon was VERY rewarding.

I can see if you just read the completed recipe, and then made the weapon, you’d feel like it was unrewarding. However, different people have different views on what is rewarding. Some people love map completion, and find the rewards given to be good, thus making it worth it. Others, not so much.

In the end it all comes down to perception. And what you mean by “rewarding”.

I agree that its nice to have an increased variety of weapons, but its a bit pricey for something so plain. It could still have an effect such as the glint of sharp metal (not glittery), or maybe a spray of blood when you do a crit, or something like that.

More like “Reaper of Grass.” This piece of kitten won’t be harvesting a single soul.

It looks like a level one starter weapon.

This crappy weapon had too much hype for just a rusty hedge trimmer. Really, after all that I expected a beautiful piece of digital art. Instead, we were “rewarded” with something that was clearly taken from a dilapidated, long forgotten, hardware store.

They should have remade the stories into temporary journal entries.

Complete the Story 1, get token you can use to get Mad Memoires or something else if you already got it. Make bonus achievements for story 1, get token you can use for Complete Edition or something else if you already got it.

Complete Story 2, get 1 Corn cob. Complete bonus achievements. Get 2 corn cobs.

Next year, bonus achievements reset, can replay again for stuff.

Kind of like GW1’s festival quests, but using the Story Journal.

That way we could replay the Mad King’s dungeon again. It’s a shame having lost that.

MithranArkanere.8957:

As far as I can tell, they either made this unnecessarily overcomplicated for something that will be around just 2 weeks, or those ghosts were brought back just for flavor, and it’s just a bug in those ghosts’ dialogue that makes the memoires dialogue appear for some people.

OR… the dev(s) who got the maps ready for this year simply forgot to remove them. Which I think is entirely possible.

I’ve played since release but wasn’t online much during the first Halloween (it is pretty much the only thing in GW2 I largely missed), so I would have appreciated the opportunity to make up for it now.

But I was able to pick up the first 3 pages, so at least it gave me something to do for a bit today.

DeWolfe.2174:

This game needs exclusivity like it needs a server cluster made up of 286 IBM’s.

Stop feeling entitled to it. Events are boring if you cant earn exclusive items.

Careful… entitlement arguments can be used both ways. You are sounding entitled.

I sincerely must make one thing clear. I think that “Mad Memories” is quite possibly the most crisp and well-designed back piece availible. It’s just such a cool haunting item. I was really disappointed to receive unintelligible ghost-garble from Serene. It would be an awesome gesture to add this “Quest” back into the game for Halloween week

After Modremoth Kraalkatorik is probably going to be the next dragon and he is in Crystal Desert.

Crystal Desert was never, ever going to be in at release…as for the future, there’s a long way to go with other parts of Tyria still, however, do keep in mind the one large door in Ebonhawke that passage is forbidden through…that’s direction of the Crystal Desert, be it a long, long, long ways away.

In any case OP brings up a good point. Are we going to ever see the Crystal Desert? Or has that been shelf too.

If you notice too, the Halloween music that was written for the event has been updated with live instruments. They sound a lot crisper and prettier! Another thing I noticed is when the hands try to grab you in the clock tower they make weird screaming sounds. Another NEW update is they used the screaming sounds from “Escape Lions Arch” event earlier, so now in Lions Arch you can hear the screams of people still trying to escape it. It is creepy. xD

Aedelric.1287:

Your own fault, you do not deserve to get it back.

Lol. So if you accidentally trip and fall one day and break a leg, I guess the bystanders or paramedics will just say “well, it’s your fault so you don’t deserve to get help or treatment.”

Sometimes I wonder why people act as if mistakes or accidents are somehow unforgivable sins. It’s laughable.

I really hope you get your dusk back. I know if I was in the same situation, I’d want it back as well, so don’t listen to the naysayers. They’d also want it back if they made a mistake, even though they might not want to admit it. We all make mistakes sometimes.

Good luck with your support ticket.

TwistedFate.8705:

wow i know it is my own fault im just trying to see what happens here. I dont want a flame war going on. calm down…

Just responding in kind to the dude on his high horse.

I don’t blame you for sending in a ticket. I would too of course if I somehow managed to find myself in the same situation. What happened sucks big time. Just not convinced this should be a legitimate support issue…

Well, I think about it this way: The game mechanics allow a precursor as input for the MF together with other exotics, what – in my opinion – shouldn’t be the case in the first place.

There have been similar cases where people got a refund for losing items because of strange game mechanics. Items with less value than a precursor that some of us don’t even get in over 4000 hours of gameplay… So I guess the legitimacy of those support issues can/should only be evaluated case by case, and definitely not by us but only by the support team.

I for my part think the OP should get his precursor back and hope he does. But you definitely are also entitled to your opinion.

wow i know it is my own fault im just trying to see what happens here. I dont want a flame war going on. calm down…

maybe make precursors ascended, the cost the same if not more, they are rare as kitten and people could actually use them for something other then legendary crafting.

I don’t think that fellyn’s feelings are shared by most. It’s not like the OP regretted a purchase because they could have got more gold this week rather than last week. It was an error, from clicking a whole bunch of stuff over and over. Anyone could make that kind of mistake. I would feel sick if that happened to me. I know I’ve done stuff similar, though not on that scale. You get slightly distracted or whatever; you’re tired, you just click out of habit. Everyone does it. Everyone.

I really hope the OP gets his Dusk back.

fellyn.5083:

It’s not mean spirited. It is his own fault, therefor he should not be reimbursed.

Their support cant refund items every time some one “accidentally” loses an item they wished to keep.

Not only that but in the past anet has said they actually have no way to do so, as well. Further there is no proof he actually had what he said he did and given the above, I don’t know if anet even has a way to verify his claim.

Don’t try to defend yourself on this with some “support can/can’t do” nonsense. You said that he shouldn’t get it back. That’s your opinion. And it’s a mean-spirited one.

I’m sure you’ve never made mistakes in your life though… jesus some people.

Goodluck. I know from personal experience that GW2 Customer Support is one of the best in this industry. They are super awesome. I really hope they can help you!

@fellyn: They can confirm it. Everything is in their knowledge. They can see if you forged, sold, destroyed, or got anything in the game. The game logs every. single. thing. that happens to everyone.

I got back an ascended piece that I accidentally destroyed. I detailed the exact hour/date on the ticket, it took like 2 weeks but they did give it back.
