WvW Tournament Rewards Distribution Delay

Lord of Rings.5371

I can tell some of the players here are more passionate about WvW than the developer.

Weekends usually have high turn out on the WvW maps where players ignore other things in life to play this game. They want to improve and perfect themselves in the game. They want to “fix” issues they encountered in the game, whether it is a score, a build, more gold, or improving a guild or a server.

Moreover, their presence provides entertainment for the opposition teams because without oppositions, there would be no bags to loot, no keeps to recapture and the game would not be fun.

Surely, if Anet is as passionate about WvW as its players, it would schedule overtime shifts in weekend with extra pay to have this fixed.

Guys, the last update was on Friday. Today is Monday. Contrary to popular belief, our developers have lives and families that they would like to live and see respectively.

Believe me when I say that we will provide an update as soon as we have an update to provide. Until that time, your continued patience is appreciated.

Thank you for the update.

Anet, since you are aware there are many players complaining not receiving that WvW rewards, maybe the players can have a better understanding of your effort in resolving this issue if you let us know how many people and how many work hours have you spent on this and what would be the budgeted labor cost.

Many thanks.

Totally understand the complaints because, adults and kids alike, all have invested much time and energy in the game yet their rewards have not been honored.

And how much time and energy do you think ArenaNet have and still are investing in the game and this bug?

You know Mark responds to your post and you should ask him.

It could be a lead toward solving the issue.

Yes, this is what I meant. Sorry for not being more clear.

It really is pretty pathetic. I’m just hoping that the majority of the complainers are kids. I’d be embarrassed for the adults throwing temper tantrums.

Because of a bug that is out of Anet’s control! They have already stated over and over and over that they are working on it. Bug fixes don’t grow on trees. Give them one gosh dang week at least. These are real people with real lives and a massive, massive game to update.

Then let people complain while players wait. They should not have started season with stated rewards. Don’t worry about the people fixing the bugs. They probably would not read this if they do not have time.

Two Hyperions. 38 vs 04

There is a point here.

Wow so many people are missing the point here….

We are angry because not only that we didn’t receive our rewards in time, but also because we didn’t receive them on the 2nd date which was 3th of June, if Anet would announce before the tournament that the rewards would come in September 2014 everyone would have been ok with it, but the anouace a date than they don’t deliver than they announce a 2nd date and they still didn’t deliver and you ask me why are we upset, its because we are being lied that is why, don’t make promise you cannot keep.

It is a hard game to quit because it is addictive.

One reason for the disappointment is the realization that no matter how much time one spends in this game there would be another carrot coming to tempt you and there would be seemingly endless carrots after that one. Why would one lose time for rest and sleep over it?

This game is full of disappointments. Not much experience was expected.

The learning curve for skills and builds is long and complex despite what is advertised.

The time commitment for the game is huge for top gears and WvW coverage, not sure if it is for casual gamers.

Thought one can play it anytime one chooses; no, it’s more important to schedule life around events to be productive.

Dev said the update patch would encourage players to use full set of runes, but the “Superior Rune of Lyssa” lost all boons with all conditions removal after the update.

Thought “Hall of monuments” stuffs would be cool before GW2 was released, no one cares them now because “Legendries” have fancy foot prints.

Thought “Festival of the Four Winds” would be fun, but this time it has No Loot.

Somehow the PR for game always misleads and always deceptive.

Thank you for research my posting history.

Yeah. I wanted to quit last year and has been back and forth about quitting it.

I found I play too much and if I logon online and often I did not get enough sleep that night.

It is a hard game to quit but I am absolute sure it a right thing for me to do.

I never regretted missing any time that I was not playing it.

I actually enjoyed the time online and I am pretty good at it. Like last night it was fun to charge into a zerg in near SMC and see their surprises, dealt damages and came out alive. But then it lasted longer than I expected I have went to bed at 1:30 am.

So I uninstalled it.

There are others things I enjoy and I would appreciated afterward but playing a game with so much of my time is vain.

In Guild Wars, a left click sets up a way point where a character goes automatically and holding a right click would pan the camera. Moreover, Guild Wars auto queues out of range skills that would bring the character within max range then automatically fire the skills. All these automation have to be micro managed in Guild Wars 2.

Because clicking is an inferior movement method in an action game and requires the implementation and maintaining of smart pathing which is actually more work than most people are aware of.

And this – just take a look at the hilarious pathing of ranger pets, necro minions, mesmer’s illusions. AI does not know about jumping over obstacles at all in this game. It would also require server resources – those resources which we’re already lacking with megaservers and have been lacking during LS.

And personally I think that adding point-and-go would just dumb down the game which has all-side dodging and stuff for a reason.

GW2 is meant to be an action game. They probably left it out purposely so people from GW1 wouldn’t stick with it.

The ability to jump also makes calculating paths much more complex. If they were to implement click to move, it would be the simple kind, where you run at your cursor, rather than like GW1, where you would run around objects.

Lastly, click to move would be nearly impossible to implement underwater. It would be the equivalent of holding left+right to move.

Thank you for your explanation. With jumps and fall damages, “Click and go” would require a really smart AI and many be a long way to wait. I got used to this style of playing from the original Guild Wars, with 4000 hours spent in GW, really miss it here. Playing Guild Wars 2 is like using a going back to a blackberry after being on an Iphone with Guild Wars which is just as fun but less people playing it nowadays. There are just too much micro management requires for GW2 movement and fighting nowadays, and the only way to gloss over them appear to be through zerging.

There’s the® Autorun button. As for “clicking for the place to go”, I see a lot of exploitability.

what “exploitability”? But if it there, it would be accessible for everyone and that would make it fair and increase the playability of the game.

I’ve got a better guide lol

2.) Work until you get a pay check (2 weeks / 80 hours)
3.) Collect your ~650 dollars and quit
4.) Buy 650 dollars worth of gems (80,000)
5.) Exchange 80,000 gems for 5200 gold
6.) Buy a legendary or two after two weeks of farming

I understand you completely. I would put a commander Tag up for players like you to play to together.

Unfortunately, this is not case on every server.

Most guilds there often ran without Tag.

This practice is not friendly to new players who are the new blood of the WvW.

It leads to the decline for a server.

After experienced players of a guild stop playing, the guild just dies so does its WvW population.
