There’s your first problem.

Much like they were creating a game without grind, or that new legendary weapons would be out this year, or Colin Johanson: “Everyone, including casual gamers, by level 80 should have the best statistical loot in the game." You get the picture.

Dear OP: They don’t care if it makes sense. They wanted to put in a limited time item, which in turn drives up player numbers. The game is full of stuff that doesn’t make sense and the lore is sometimes used as toilet paper.

I’m hoping in the future, in order to kill enemies, we’ll have to use an item only available in the gem shop that has a 60 second animation. That will teach those baddies.

EVERY SINGLE TIME we’ve had achievements like this (Scarlet invasions, Queen’s hot air ballons, etc.) we’ve complained about not being able to track the achievements — and here we are again!

You just have to bring out a pen and paper to track yourself and also make sure to check every time you’ve done the job that you actually have been credited for it.

It’s like they don’t learn from their mistakes or something.

Mercury pretty much hit it all. It’s not a hacked account issue and there’s the verification. Going forward, if you don’t know what an item is for, just check the GW2 wiki and that usually explains it all.

If they did this for everybody they’d be swamped worse than they are. Also in that case, I lost a legendary or two and 10,000 gold. Just kidding. It is what it is though.

Yeah post a log. If the crash error says “OOM” then you’re out of memory, which is something I’m faced with; an inherent problem if you run a 32bit OS. Not a terrible amount you can do besides drop money on upgrading your OS.

I can play any other game or MMO without a memory error. Imagine that.

Your in-game or ticket reports to us certainly CAN include character names. We ask that they not be posted on the forums but an in-game report naturally sends us that info, and support ticket, being private, also can include names. Agents are not located in South Korea, although why that would be relevant it beyond me. I’m sure well-trained agents could be in that country or anywhere else in the world and do an excellent job. The point is, no one is “just closing tickets” randomly.

My statement wasn’t to say that these fine agents aren’t trained in providing excellent customer service, but rather if they were from South Korea, they may not know individuals that are known in our North American culture. That’s not unreasonable to assume.

If you went to Africa, you’ll find people who have no idea who Joe Biden is (that’s actually a bad example because some people in the US don’t know who he is). My point is, when I’ve reported the names, who violate the “real life person reference”, they may not know they’re a famous actor or musician, whereas we do.

Lastly, you never did answer how a character remains playable after having been reported numerous times over a few months, when that name, without a doubt, violates your naming policy. Not to mention it’s in your personal in-box. I think that points to a customer service/ToS enforcement issue.

You can no longer upload screenshots to go along with your “request” and I think that’s a huge flaw. In addition I’ve submitted a report with 3 character names (and have over the past how many months) that violate the “real life person reference” including links to their wiki and personal websites. I’m wondering if NCsoft agents that review these tickets are in South Korea and possibly have no idea who these figures are and just close out the ticket as such.

  • Instead of the toy factory going from city to city like last year, this year it will be static and you will only be able to access it by going into wintery doors found throughout Wayfarer, Snowden, and Lornar’s Pass.
  • Players will have an opening instance where they revisit the dungeon from last year, and things seem the same, but then Scarlet shows up and you have to fight Aetherblades. Again.
  • Rather than being instanced, the dungeon will be open world with frequently spawning events, introducing a new type of foe: frosty clockwork minions. You will be chilled 100% of the time in this area.
  • There will be special legendary frosty bosses that have one unique mechanic that is powerless against the zerg, but that have enormous hp pools so it takes 10 minutes to kill them.
  • The minions will drop frozen clockworks scraps which can be turned in for minis and some useless holiday garbage that no one will really want. Maybe frosty clockwork sandwiches. It will take thousands of them for the mini.
  • New skins in the gem store, but it requires a claim ticket. Impossible to get by actually playing the game.
