Guild Wars 2

snowwie.9543:

I believe it would have been better for the rewards to be map-based, so you get a small amount for completing the event but at the same time a bonus for the amount of events completed on that server/map. Like on the Silverwastes.

I think this ( with a Champ at the end of each mini event that you need to get credit on for some extra rewards) in combination with less emphasis or non at all on personal buffs would have made it so-much-better.

I Imagine it would be like a wvw in pve feeling of community – everyone in Kessex working to slay every event on the map – you could even incentivise it by having the maps compete Against each other for some extra bonus on top – like the wvw Tournies with bronze silver and gold.

Not putting character slots in the sale is such an obvious push to pre purchase for the ‘free’ slot and for people like me who wanted to just wait a couple of weeks after it was out and see the lay of the land its a big penalty.

They would have got more cash out of me if they had just ponied up a slot discount as I would have got 2 – now im less incentivised to get HOT straight away and if I do I will just delete a character if I want a revenant and wait until it goes in sale somewhere.

I just think the reasonable thing to do would have been/would be to extend the event – revisit it before HOT or do a different event that uses Blossoms as currency with the same rewards.

Yes all the pages of ideas we have given are useful for future events but come on guys and gals – the event didn’t even work for the first day!

Many people like me either logged in and did an event or two got nothing and left or went to the forum saw nothing saying it had been fixed until the middle of the night UK time and had to start the next day – there was nothing around online saying you had to do different maps for the bonus either – even Dulfy was utterly confused.

I simply cant make 450 for the shoulders and gloves in time – I would have been able to ( with a kitten lot of grinding) if the event had run properly from the get go. So now I will have the shoulders for my several hours farming every day which is nice but not the other item and many many people who really were after the selfless will not make it either.

And then I will have a load of blossoms sitting in my bank that I don’t know if I will get a chance to use – so it would be nice if you could at least make sure there are more opportunities to get more blossoms and it would have been really good if you have not let people farm thee event thinking a solution would be put in place when it wasn’t clarifies until only a few hours before the end of the event…

I actually had a rage quit for the first time ever in this game late last night

- Did Brisban, got kicked from the game towards the end, no rewards

- then went to Kessex and at 2.30 am UK time when it should be quiet there were TEN commanders – it was impossible to actually avoid the zerg and get some kills in because the WHOLE map was a zerg, in the middle of the night thanks to Megaservers. I got to 5 different skirmishes only for them to be completed as I arrived – never managed to get above 8 buffs.

- then went to Diessa, its now an ungodly hour and yet its still rammed to the gills, this time even when I was doing a reasonable amount of kills some of the skirmishes wernt raising my buffs atall.

All humour left me. I really am starting to believe that this is a Psychological experiment for Anet to see just how LITTLE in rewards they can get away with – what is it with this new – play and we don’t give you loot?? You simply cant expect a player to fight for 30 minutes and get nothing if any of the numerous bugs kick in or next to nothing in the form of a paltry amount of tokens for items that almost no one will be able to afford after 3 days ( because Anet put an event live with bugged rewards so everyone lost a day)

Im still holding on to some event tokens from 2013

Just-in-case

- I need to know really if I should stop at 225 for the one item or keep going because these blossoms will at least be collectable in the future…

I rarely come here to post or reply but I just want the devs to know how important it is for us players to not be punished in any way by having a disconnect in the middle of a play session, more importantly if we are going to lose any progress we have made in a said event. If there was a way to “save” that progress for a few minutes so we have the time to log back in, it would be great, and yes I know we can do the next event in 30 minutes but for some 30 min are alot and dont have time for more.

We completely agree with you. The team will be working on a way to address this. I don’t know if progress would be saved, that’s a question for a designer or programmer. However, at the least, we don’t want someone to lose their rewards!

Could you clarify as im now confused – you said previously that nothing could now ben done to improve the event – but you say Dev’s are working on improvements? does this mean the event will come back soon?

I’m sorry if my answer wasn’t clear. The devs are looking into a way to prevent people from losing rewards when they disconnect in the middle of an event. It is not possible to make changes to this event, but the information gained through player reports will help us address problems in the game and prevent them in the future.

Ok thanks for clearing it up – good for the game – bad for this particular event though.

I just wanted another chance at the second Toxic item – I mean this is serious, my Asura Necro in currently on a bender in some dodgy Charr Tavern because she will NOT step out unless she is matchy matchy.

Throw us a bone!

Im just sticking to tagging 10 events and finishing most if not all of them

- I will get 10 rather than 15 blossoms but anyone doing the maths knows getting more than 1 big ticket item isn’t possible anyway so im saving myself a hernia and being more community minded – I have seen events fail after 30 mins because everyone legged it.

My Necro is so kittened she isn’t getting the toxic gloves aswell as the toxic shoulders.

Now if you ran this even for several more weekends tweaked for extra blossoms and XP people might have a fighting chance… I accepted the exceptional grind for all 3 SW armour sets ( I didn’t bother with the luminescent) because at least I was getting boxes after each mini event and it was a new area…

Im having trouble trying to work out what working as intended would look like for this event – what went wrong?

Was it supposed to give us more blossoms?
Was it supposed to drop boxes or any type of loot?
Was it supposed to give XP?

Because I think im in a similar situation to most people- if im lucky and also have the time to run all 3 maps for 3 days because I wasn’t going to play it yesterday when I saw the fallout I will have enough blossoms to get either some shoulders or gloves but not both and I have to forget trying to get the halo as it just isn’t doable.

Now if you gave some XP for the young’uns, gave extra blossoms either via map event completion or from the veterans/champions or lowered the requirements for items and ran it every weekend in the run up to HOT then it would be fine – but I cant see how us not getting any of that is a ‘design fault’

At the moment its a skinner box without any true rewards – even the rats would be revolting…

The tightfistedness of it all for Vets is laughable really. Im seeing this particular ‘business model’ of ripping off loyal customers everywhere – Banks rip off savers, Media companies like Virgin only give decent deals to new customers – it encourages lack of staying power – which in this type of game is a bad thing – unless they are happy with a revolving door of newbies?

The argument re look how much time you had to play the game means nothing – GW2 wouldn’t have ever been financially in the position to keep going and produce an XP if Vets hadn’t bought full priced games and bought gems. Look at Wildstar.

We get a character slot ( only if we pre purchase) and a free outfit that only looks ok on heavy armor wearers.

I mean how many business models are they going to try and use at the same time to leech more cash?! They now have money coming in from Gem store, xp, and upgrades from f2p – people should really be expecting ALOT more from the xp for such a huge cash injection when they already paid for the xp with the gem store money

And with F2P its now the second time new starters have been bait and switched – first the sale at £10 being replaced with Hot plus free base game, now with F2P after loads of people bought the Hot+Base.

I think what stands out most for me though is only TWO armor sets in the main pve game – by the time I had levelled the 10 levels on WoW I had worn countless different armor and that was before hitting end game armor – no content for the whole year so far because ‘we are too busy’ but they still manage to knock out Gem store items?

Flawless cash grab I have to give them that…

’ You can twist it up and down, but raids never have been mainstream content

I don’t agree with this – as I was saying before Vanilla Raids in WoW were very hardcore but purely based on the vertical progression of Raids you could eventually over gear for a Raid and with some Veterns leading and doing Alt runs for gear a lot of very casual players got to do Raids.

As there is no vertical progression to allow this game mode to slightly lower skilled players ( for whatever reason) I do think they need to think of a way of opening it up down the line.

Im happy to wait but I would like to have a go at some point…

That would be great Blaeys – I cut my teeth on Raids in WoW going to outlevelled old Raids then moved to the easier early releases of Dungeons in an Expansion – I got to experience the hardest Raids only with a kitten good group or towards the end of an xp when gear made them more amenable. I never tried Herioc Raids.

As there is no vertical progression here hopefully all Raids will manageable with average players or those a little slower on reaction time and rsa at the thought of complex rotations ( like me Then the harcore people can still get that feeling of achievement with hard mode.

I do wonder though – combat style here is harder than WoW – where a caster could be fairly static, apart from some more complicated bosses – I cant see players like me getting in for a while – I still think its a good idea though.

I actually feel quite positive about Raids in GW2 if ive understood how they will play out correctly – at the moment there doesn’t seem to be any places in pve where someone into being support/utility with some damage thrown in fits in.

I had a Shadow Priest in WoW and 10 man Raids just seemed to bring out the best in that type of character, it was great to switch between abit of healing cc and pew pew, but here I never felt I could build a character like that could be useful in a 5 man Dungeon, so ive just never done a dungeon ( I know you are expected to be an all rounder with no Trinity but Berserker is sill the Meta). Raid mechanics being more complex could allow for a greater selection of build types in groups.

That said Im not that great a player so my chances of getting into a Raid will probably be nil lol

This issue has only been going on for 48 hours as far as i know but it may have been longer…

I cant see Ancient log nodes on the map or interact with them – ive been in Malchors leap and ive seen people using Ancient wood nodes that arnt on my map atall when I try to interact I cant.

The same with Iron nodes – ive gone to a couple of maps but mainly Blazeridge Steppes – I covered a good 70% of the map and only found 2 nodes – despite being familiar with the area and going to places they normally spawn, nothing on map or to interact with this time.

Seeing as Ancient wood and Iron are the only mats I need this is driving me mad…

It will be after the kids go back to school – before Halloween with enough time to smooth out bugs – on a Tuesday

September 22nd if you trust my wonky deduction ;D.

Urgh.

Just failed my third attempt since the changes – this time I was in a very organised PUG with a couple of smaller Guild groups as I recall – all the Commanders were explaining tactic changes to everyone beforehand – putting people in the right places…Im not wasting yet another 40 + minutes in this every time.

You know in WoW they never decided to upscale a Raid Boss several years after its arrival in game – I think there was a kitten good reason for that.

Im a big supporter of Marriage Equality apart from the fact that it currently kittens on people who want to co habit only

- I am however sick and tired of entertainment like MMORPG’s being politicised by just HAVING to make a point about the current News or zeitgeist, and theres something relentlessly pushy and off putting about some armchair activists insistence that their particular area of interest is PAID ATTENTION TOO….

‘For our long-standing fans and loyal players, we would like to say thank you and show our appreciation’

By coercing us into buying in advance of knowing the content fully, so we can get the underwhelming peace offering of a character slot when everyone buying HOT should be getting that at the MINIMUM anyway?

#casually polishes pitchfork

Maybe we should all just shut up and be grateful – after all I just realised…

We get the Slap In The Face for FREE!!!!

I bet Newbies wont get one of those until Living Story Season 3

’When it shows up in the Gem Shop or on the web site shop with a price of $0.00 then it will be free.

Yes – they are saying its ‘free’ and ‘not free’ at the same time – you cant buy the base game anywhere unless you buy Hot now – if its really free everyone would be able to get a copy that plays the game now – we cant which means the base game isn’t ‘free’ which means quite probably that the base game cost has been absorbed into the cost of Hot.

Either its ‘free’ = everyone gets a copy
It isn’t ‘free’ = Newbies get a copy rolled into the xp, Vets get a copy or something else or a price reduction.

Its not ok for it to be both things at the same time depending on who is looking at the deal.

Unless there is such a thing as Schrodinger’s game bundle…

It didn’t take long for people to generally cave to the rather anemic request of a character slot did it?

The more I think about it the more it feels like a case of offering something really bad ( because I cant comprehend they didn’t think this through) so everyone falls in line for far less than would be a fair compensation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Door-in-the-face_technique

A free Character slot is what we should be getting ANYWAY for an expansion with a new class – I cant think of any AAA title that hasn’t?

We should also be getting some sort of ‘equalizer’ to the ‘free’ base game to new players – because currently we are paying for only one half of the bundle for sale at £35 – now if the game is now ‘free’ then we should be able to access it as a second account or some sort of Gem compensation could possibly work.

But don’t sell yourselves short here…one character slot isn’t enough for £35 that should have been included in the first place…

2.The Ultimate package is NOT an upgrade which leads me to believe that Vet’s will lose the link to their active account they have spent years building up, yet this is the package with the most perceived value for money for Vet’s.

Fortunately this is incorrect. One will not be able to upgrade to the Ultimate package from a Standard or Deluxe Package of HoT. It’s like currently being able to ug-pgrade (Gemstore) from the Core Standard to the Digital Deluxe add-on items. The Ultimate edition is a HoT bundle that is added only to existing GW2 Core Accounts without HoT attached.

That’s good ;D – I will edit it with something else worth worrying about – im sure it wont take long…

Before the Red Mist starts to fade and everyone starts to feel something will be done ( because it has to right? The Community Dev’s said it would?) I want to issue a sanity warning…

Similar things were said on the Traits thread – Ascended vertical tread mill thread – NPE thread.

That doesn’t mean it WONT happen but manage your expectations…

Some points:

1. The wording of the feedback is important, there was no promise that something would be DONE, only that responses were being looked at and passed on.
2. If the base game REALLY is now free and not an item that has actually inflated the final cost of the Thons bundle – then why cant Vets access it? or go to a link on the official website where the ‘free game’ now sits? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buy_one,_get_one_free
3. Like all the best Media PR bad news is buried under the bigger bad news – the pre purchase upset has left issues like the increase in Ascended from 5% to 10% from Exotic in the dust. A 10% gap may be enough to make a lot of people feel pushed into a gear treadmill that I remember being told would not happen with Ascended…so read up on all the recent info dumps and bring up issues so they don’t get lost.

Go watch MagicalMike for a good balanced view:

Wooden Potatoes though he has got flack I feel at least still understood Vet anger, Bog Otter? Couldn’t get through more than 6 minutes, someone who maintains that this is merely a ‘perception’ problem by us the Vets before he even starts a proper analysis? not for the faint hearted….

£25 considering what I have seen so far was my limit so I no longer have skin in this, but to not even allow Vets who WANT an additional account ( with 5 slots) to have one like the new players?

That’s pretty tight fisted.

Im not saying loads of players want an extra account, an extra character slot seems to be the consensus on a peace offering, but to offer something ‘free’ to newbies that Vets are blocked from?

WoW xpacs always felt worth the money when I still played, the content here is way to slight to charge £10 more..

The longest, biggest, most helpful ( to the Dev’s and the community) hub for Trait discussion thread is no longer open to comments.

I guess they prefer a cacophony of smaller harder to keep up with threads instead? so here is mine.

‘We’ll be happy to see a discussion about the proposed changes based on the new information that has been given or will continue to be provided in the future.’

That is what was already taking place as far as I could tell being a daily reader of peoples comments?

Based on what Colin said recently the Traits appear to be rolling out around the time of Hot, but there is still no confirmation as to how close they will be related to Mastery – I think this is something many people want clarity on….

Its not 7 days yet but your sticky on what to do when there is no acknowledgment of a ticket has only broken links on it – so im essentially stuck – I placed a ticket 3 days ago regarding a bug in the LS Hidden Arcana – im in a loop unable to complete the storyline as when I finish the instance ( even though it shows me completing all aspects as the group moved through) I get no rewards and the Echoes of the Past story resets back to just before Hidden Arcana as if I was never there. Its doubly annoying as I have been unable to actually get a group for there since and get the completion and carapace shoulders box.

I have no ticket number

’I know few people who don’t post on forums but like me, are stuck with their characters because they don’t want to play a broken story.

Essentially if they don’t fix it ( and im inclined to think they wont despite the fact it just needs a revert and no one has EVER explained why chapters have been chopped about) they will FORCE players to cave in and do the story because some Masteries will be sitting behind Personal Story Completion…

I haven’t DC’d atall yet the last 2 times ive done the Boss ive been unable to open the large chest only the bandit chests.

Do people respond to Bug questions? because currently I can complete this LS section.

Read the technicalities of the Mastery breakdown.

Every time you see the word ‘Mastery’ replace it with ‘Trait’

Seem familiar? yeah that’s because it quite likely is – to get Masteries ( and if New Trait System is linked those too) you have to play SPECIFIC content in specific places
- ’Things like completing a chapter in your personal story, completing certain achievements, reaching hard-to-find locations, overcoming challenging encounters, excelling at adventures found within the Heart of Maguuma, or earning 100% completion for a map ’

Urghhhhhh

Yes you do get to decide which Masteries you apply those points to but you still have to go through a very specific grind to get them – the same grind you currently go through to get Traits

Well this is a pain in the kitten – I late started season 2 LS and have been trying to at least get all the parts completed for the Carapace sets ( im not bothering with the Lumi and the Achievs)

I CANNOT complete Seeds of Truth – I do Hidden Arcana which I need a group for and I don’t get the end rewards even though I can see all the parts of the story completing whilst I am in the instance – then I leave back to SW and im redirected back to the BEGGINING of the entire story part – in a loop.

Ive tried doing a report in game ive tried reading up previous threads which don’t appear to have any resolution on bugs in this LS part.

Im also getting a bug where some Meeting the Asura achievs arnt registering for me despite it being a character I had already completed on before ( only an hour or so beforehand)

Can I get a response or a workaround?

I would be happy if they would allow me to string them into a fetching necklace.

Having a side job selling cutlery bling could be lucrative…

This is why I hope their accountants arn’t too greedy when they decide the pricing as being pve orientated and not understanding the fascination with player or Guild housing its really all about the fresh maps and stories for me ( lots of new effort required armour rather than gem outfits would be nice too but im not hopeful)

- silverwastes/dry top/southsun are a third the size of a normal zone – I hope that isn’t a pattern developing in new maps – ideally I would like to see at least 2 normal size maps with 3 biomes so 6 maps which is the same as a region now – but 6 maps with 3 biomes would be best and make it more worthy of a full price xpac – ( I paid about £27 for the first wow xpac)

But yes – its light if their presentation is correct that the main components of HoT are:
Guild Housing – 2 maps with 3 biomes ( which appears a self contained LS 3) – new WvW map – new PvP map – some QoL stuff on in game systems that by rights should be a feature patch…

Hey Oyjord,

old lady gamer here, not only that but I also have an arthritic wrist and use a bizarre combination of arrows/mouse for movement and am a partial clicker!

I play Ele and Engineer pretty much exclusively ( they are a lot of fun) and I think its doable for you too – they don’t have to be played as frenetically as you think so long as you par down your choice of kits/weapons and possibly avoid Dungeons ( or lower peoples expectations of you).

For Engineer stick with rifle and have grenades and elixir as your kits – think of grenade as a situational tool for cc rather than your go to weapon as it will wear your wrist out, use elixir and rely on your rifle skill that punts you out of melee combat.

For Ele just learn 1 weapon well for now – staff, yes it will handicap your abilities as an Ele but there are so many it can get overwhelming and again wear your wrist out! staff can cope with most things the game will throw at you I feel….

If not the consensus appears to be a Guardian, I would avoid Ranger and Necro as the AI on pets is dire and is just another thing to control.

Good Luck

Its a friendly thread Butch – probably the most congenial long term thread EVER on this forum – but you have to understand – people here have been fighting for a change for TEN MONTHS, only to have it conformed just now that any change to Traits wont happen at all until the xpac comes out which is slated by most people in the Industry for July/August.

It IS a mistake if that is what Colin has decided – it should be changed in the next patch now that its at least been officially admitted that its clusterkitten of some magnitude – and that they have already designed the solution. There is something really cynical about it – as an xpac is when the biggest amount of players will be creating new characters and going through the gated grind.

Colin if im wrong please pop back to clarify a little more because I really don’t think people on here will be feeling that grateful for another 7 months waiting…

After watching most of the Pax presentation, the information on the Mastery system seems relevant to the thread here as it appears to me to be Trait acquisition in a much better fashion for new zones.

- I think all we can hope for is they realise they HAVE to make the rest of the Trait system streamline with Mastery and they adopt the idea of Trait ‘points’ like Mastery points that can then be applied to whatever Traits you want ( and acquired from around the world but not a ‘specific event for a specific trait’) which then become account bound.

But until this is confirmed Heart of Thorns is off my table.

Seriously I would laugh it wasn’t for the fact ive just signed in to find myself still dealing with being stalked by a particular mod.

Mods staying away from this thread has been like a master class in avoidant behaviour – ive lost count of the amount of times the front page has been FULL of responses from Mods with this thread just sitting there.

If it IS really discussed as often as you claim then why has it taken 9 months to let us know its being talked about? 30 seconds writing a response…

Im out anyway – I wont be bullied by a mod with a chip on his shoulder.

Deleting the archives for a ‘cleaner’ front page sums up the herculean efforts at making a badly designed forum worse – there was a lot of useful trait info there.

Zoso.8279:

Thanks for the post. I’ve never noticed this O.O I have to start looking up more X.X

Yeah good luck with ‘looking up more’ with the current Field of View in this game – all that beautiful terrain and the majority of the time you cant see any of it in normal game play.

The Golem moved cities every day I think back in the day – you got to view it arriving at each city at a certain time – it was great.

Really like some of the newish suggestions – in Wow they used to make you hunt for additional transform spells for mage from mob drops on top of your base one – it worked – you STILL had the basic spell ( as you should have with the low level traits here) then added some cosmetic spells if you wanted/got lucky.

If they don’t announce a change to traits at this supposed amazing roll out of information at the end of January im out – I don’t even care if they are touting one of the most fantastic rethinks of traditional expansions and giving us the sandbox MMO they always promised – it wont be enough to make me grind through this TURGID hellhole of a game mechanic change with any more characters.

Currently the only positive thing about this thread is that its a completely safe haven from condescending white knights…

If there was a way to pay someone to do this dratted achive for the meta I would do it in a heartbeat, I can only do the first song – god knows how many games ive done to get to 250, and I still have 250 to go..

I should have videoed myself and sold it for torture purposes.

We will get an expansion way before we get the Traits debacle sorted….

Im reckoning around the time of the Tokyo Olympics.

I don’t like the new dailies and I really don’t like the narrowing/gating/grinding philosophy that seems to have slowly taken over implementation of everything in this game.

It IS harder to achieve the dailies now in pve unless you are prepared to have your characters all sitting in the different zones waiting for the specific zone type daily that now comes up every day, ive spent 15 minutes scouring an area for the right resources, of course you could just cave in as I have and start doing pvp, im sure people like me are making their pvp metrics for this month look fab – but I don’t like pvp, im no good at it and to avoid upsetting the regular players I do a farm instance that isn’t even pvp – its full of muppets like me trying to complete the dailies.

Ive just opened 50 chests and haven’t had even ONE luck essence drop – no blue or green essence atall let alone an exotic one.

Something is very wrong here and if im not getting luck there isn’t any point in this as im getting nothing nice drop.

With respect Dlonie there isn’t anything ‘coming up’ as far as I can tell, even with Guild stuff -

CDI type cross communication has happened before and nothing came of it, or not in the way that was envisaged by the community – Precursor scavenge, Ascended fall out, Traits, Personal Story off the top of my head – these had either CDI type involvement or feedback threads encouraged by Dev’s for feedback and supposed interaction.

The default here is to not give any forward knowledge of whats upcoming ATALL, other than poster teasers just vague enough to allow hope to spring eternal.

dlonie.6547:

Wow. So information goes out through the spanish community manager —> reddit --> a player post so we can hear it on the official english forums.

Nice.

Its pathetic isn’kitten They also cherry pick only positive threads/commenters to interact with when they do remember to deal with the forum – im not blaming them for steering clear of the odd frenzied mob till it dies down but passive aggressive cheerleading and studious avoidance of basic comms like letting us know about THIS is embarrassing for them and frustrating for us.

Mo Mo.1947:

A more established player should have enough cash to buy a few traits if they don’t want to do the unlock award.

Im a casual player been here 2 years – I don’t play the TP, I don’t farm, I gather, do some crafting and every now and then have a few days doing a lot of World Bosses, I don’t even buy that much armor – I NEVER have more than 200 gold.

I currently have 7 character slots with only 3 grandfathered and levelled and 2 that I DESPERATELY want to reroll that are grandfathered, that’s FOUR characters at 43 gold to pay for, almost my entire bank of cash ( im trying to trait one naturally in the world but there is no way I can do that four times) and no skill points to actually spend on you know skills because im having to spend them on friggin traits.

Veydar.5017:

The problem: developers spend too much time scrolling through forums and they’re never sure where to put the information.

The solution: merge the forums – with no functioning search box – so developers can now scroll through a mess of threads that are updating and moving by the minute.

Seems legit.

THIS – im Dyslexic, it has its down sides but one of the good things is that we tend to be really good at seeing things as a holistic whole and seeing patterns – I cant decide if Gaile and co are genuinally unable to see how completely unworkable this is – or they are deliberately making it unworkable – you know how you find information quickly??

By having clearly defined areas for each type of information, that the ‘reason’ given is ‘to make it easier to find things’ is actually beyond my comprehension – how do you find all the new BLT threads if the front page changes every few minutes and you have to wade through pages and pages HOPING that they have managed to write a clearly signposted thread title?

You have NO SEARCH FUNCTION

Utter insanity

It means nothing – he didn’t even get to see anything then get tied up in the Mother of all disclosure agreements to not release what it was – if that had been the case this thread would have been of marginal interest.

Incidentally Vayne you have a kitten cheek telling people they are ‘off topic’ when pretty much every thread you create or contribute to descends into a semantic argument and ends up having nothing to do with the thread /question at hand, you are a Troll a lot of the time – a more subtle one that some granted – but derailing threads by telling people what they are thinking or what they are thinking is wrong or doesn’t fit your predetermined rules of interaction ( which you yourself break) is still derailing threads by attacking other peoples comments.

stop trolling.
