It’s much easier (technically and for PR) to reward some people twice, then not reward some people at all.
Then by your logic, they should have mailed extra essence of luck to everyone and don’t reset the daily. Then some players have double essence of luck, but not double laurels, karma jugs and mystic coins.

So you want to get the new items because you were slow…
3/4 in 3 days is not slow!
and the people that finished theirs shouldn’t get them because they log in more and get things done quicker?
THEY COULD HAVE MAILED THE ITEMS TO PLAYERS WHO COMPLETED IT!?
Really doubt that anet would punish people that play the game.
Yea and we wouldn’t anet to punish that 5% of the playerbase now would we. Lets just screw over the other 95% that play the game too, but still have a life!
What Anet should’ve done:
Make 4/4 Monthly completed reward the usual 10 laurels.
Make the Monthly Achievement “Monthly Completionist” (You completed your daily category 4 times in a month) reward the ascended materials, because no one could have possibly finished that yet until later today.
You figured that out in less then an hour, why didn’t any1 at Anet think of that lol.

It’s because they changed the rewards. The old rewards had karma juggs, the new reward has karma juggs and I believe luck items (to boost your account MF). Players who completed their monthly early would have missed out on the new rewards.
Worst case scenario, a bunch of people (3 days into the month, not that many) will get a few extra achievement points and a few extra laurels.
In other words:
People who completed already get dubbel rewards
People who nearly completed get screwed over
not fair to who? why does someone getting 10 extra laruels hurt you?
Hint: it doesn’t effect you in any way at all.
yea, so if everyone got 1000g from anet for free, except you then that’s completely fair, because it doesn’t hurt you. Flawless logic.
They should have given us a fair warning, not just flush all your progress down the drain like that.

That would be the final straw…
I farmed to 3/4 only to login now and see that my progress has been flushed through the toilet.

They should have warned us for this! I had 3/4 completion, at least give us a SIMPLE WARNING!!
They don’t communicate. They do, but they do it poorly. I never really realized it before until I started playing Marvel Heroes and hanging out on their forums and talking with the folks at Gazillion. It’s really refreshing.
These folks? Not so much.
Well I demand an official response on this matter. This is outrageous!
it isnt fair because someone get double rewards,
Indeed. The fact they resetted the monthly out of “fairness” is incomprehensible.
‘We don’t want 5% of our playerbase to be screwed so lets screw the other 95%’
You don’t get a special prize if you finish off your monthly way, way early.
Everyone who completed early gets the reward twice so what’s your point!?

Just so you know, the reason it was reset is because you can get some crafting items from the monthly. For those that did the monthly in 2 days because of the invasion, it would have sucked for them to not get the new crafting items. So it was a matter of hearing from those that did complete it early and didn’t get a chance to get the new crafting items or from those that were almost done but still have 28 days left to finish it.
They should have warned us for this! Then at least I could have finished my monthly in time!!
I’m furious right now, not to mention it’s completely unfair because the people who already completed their monthly since they will get their monthly reward twice now!
Daily and monthly rewards have changed. This puts everyone on equal footing and lets everyone get the new rewards.
Equal footing? WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE WHO WHERE ALREADY AT 3/4!?!?
This is outrageous!
Why would they even do that, wtf..
The engine would explode lol
Thanks for this post
They promised no gear treadmill and no grind and that the progression would be cosmetic.
Where?! When?! You seem to be pretty sure about that so just PLEASE give me a quote that says exactly that!
There were a lot of interviews/articles back in the day. It’s common knowledge by now.
All will serve the asura, in due time. When that time comes, we’ll see who laughs last.
How’s the war to retake your underground home going?
We do not fight wars, we let the lower races fight it for us. And they are slow as molasses
The hell thinks “The hell?” is a good tile for a topic?
It was supposed to be “what the hell” but it seems I forgot to put “what” in there.
I changed the title to something more appropriate.
Never had this before until today, is this really necessary? Also, this “manual override” isn’t there. Only a reply, preview and cancel button and the reply button doesn’t do anything.
Ranger is actually the second most played class in the game.

Because they’re popular botting classes. Don’t throw stupid numbers like that.
The numbers aren’t stupid at all. I just said they are the second most played class, and they are. You are talking about motives.

That would be horrible, sorry but I couldn’t play with controls like that. The current controls are fine.
I like it
(15charsss)
I won’t really complain because it’s better than getting nothing but.. I must say I’m completely baffled.
They had such a good system in gw1 and replace it with giving every character the same mini.. I just.. wow..
I’m sorry if this has been posted already but the search function is worth about as much as a bag of hammers
One of my guild members recently found this Infographic, I personally love stats like this. In case some of you have yet to see it, here you go
Normally I would be all for it. I even made a thread about this a while back and eventually anet decided to “fix” it. But they fixed it by giving us the male version, which is even more broken than the female version. Not to mention, T3 light is the only asura armor that actually has a difference between male and female.
Luckily they changed it back after getting a lot of negative feedback. But still, I rather have no shoulders than the male version.
If Anet is willing to really fix this armor, I agree with you 100%. But if anet’s only fix to this problem is giving us the male version, then please, leave it the way it is.

They announced their gear threadmill after I bought the game (about 4 months in), just saying. So that “read the site properly” argument is invalid.
About everything else, I think you would have made a pretty fair argument if only you wouldn’t call our criticism Moaning, Idiotic, Crying and QQ
But I can understand how difficult it must be to encounter people with a different opinion.
You’re not forced to transmutate the look of any armour/weapons are you, you just WANT to change them.
You also don’t pay a monthly sub fee, so by all means, spend $10 and buy a bunch of crystals and support the game you play so much!
Not the “you aren’t forced to..” argument again..
Guess what, it’s a video game. NOTHING here is required/forced/needed. Everything is optional, that doesn’t mean that any criticism should be tossed out the window.
Because of this gear threadmill, I have to transmute ALL the gear on my alts, which sucks a lot. (And no, I don’t HAVE to do it as in “the universe explodes if I don’t” )
If you mean, remove them from the gemstore and make them easier to obtain then I agree 100001 %
If you mean, remove them entirely, then I couldn’t disagree more.
It’s a shame they made the legendary shortbow so… ridiculous. I mean, it has My Little Pony written all over it.
Really?
No offense but.. that is seriously the most hideous character I have ever seen
There’s no reason to win the event if the only thing that you care about is how fast you can fill your wallet.
You say it like it’s a bad thing.
Just fyi, I got all the achievements by just farming.
/thread
Okay have it your way.
To all completers: There is the door.
All jokes aside, Why do people make such a big problem about this? Except for the scarlett achievement (which pretty much everyone should have by now) there is absolutely no reason to actually ‘win’ the event.
I wouldn’t even call it winning because for reasons unknown the invasion force decides to leave the zone even if they win the battle.
Another farm hater..
/thread
No

L2marketing.

Soulbound is stupid and needs to go away.
It’s needed for certain things, but the Devs need to fully consider potential issues when they do use it.
Account Bound is needed for certain things, not soulbound.
I have the same problem.
I’m really curious about her motives though. Assuming she isn’t evil for the sake of being evil.
When I saw the title, I thought you meant Divinity’s Reach :P
This update is amazing, period.
Never bring it back Anet, this is AMAZING!
Just tone your settings down or get a better PC.
Not this thread again..
Would be funny if the merchant did a ‘Talk to the hand’ emote to everyone else who tries to use it
Next up. The Champion Risen Giant. No, not the one at Arah, the one just pacing back and forth a ways west of the village of Ewan. Basically the same as the Veteran variant, only more HP, more grubs, and more annoying to fight.
I’ve seen people fight it once or twice, but it just tends to be ignored most of the time I see it, even now. Although, I understand why.
This champ is part of the champion farm rotation and is getting farmed like crazy. At least on Desolation.
there really should be a “Streaker” achievement…please ANet…make it so.
That would be the day =D
With all due respect, If you didn’t care, you wouldn’t go out of your way to shoot down everyone who actually likes this suggestion. You made it clear you don’t agree with us, That’s your right, now move on.
I’m just sick of people coming here just to say we should shut up and do WvW or drop the matter entirely.
You think you are entitled to map completion without any effort, we don’t. Then follow your own suggestion and move on, instead of bringing this topic up all the time.
I don’t feel entitled to anything, that’s just what you make of it.
The main problems I have with this system are:
1) The player’s success gets predicated on something they can’t control, if your server is weak in wvw or is simply facing a much stronger opponent you simply can’t explore.2) WvW will be filled with players who don’t want to be there. Those players often don’t contribute anything to wvw (they just want to explore and get out as soon as possible) and are taking up precious slots that prevent other players from joining.
3) It’s NOT part of the world. WvW takes place in the mists just like SPvP (which you don’t have to explore either).
Even with all the “suck it up” and “I had to go through pve maps even though I’m a pvp player” arguments. My original statement still stands.
No… because like I said… you can choose to avoid all of that by just buying the legendary off of the TP. Nothing is stopping you from taking that path. PvE rewards the most gold in the game by far. That’s TOTALLY within your own control. No one NEEDS to do WvW for a legendary. A-net considers it part of the world as it has vistas and poi’s (no vistas in PvP). I didn’t know I needed to spell all of that out… but there ya go. You’re welcome.
Unless you just want 100% map for the self gratification… and then in that case I really don’t care.

Because I presumed you were trying to craft a legendary. But if that’s not the case, then say so and feel free to complain all you want and I’ll be on my merry way.
I didn’t say just do WvW or drop it either… I gave you a totally valid alternative to getting a legendary.
I know, I was not just talking about you but people who have been bashing this thread in general. If I have offended you I apologize.
About my motives, I indeed have no desire for a legendary. I just wanted to complete the entire world on my characters and get the title and star in my name. This was made impossible for a long time because my server, Desolation, was teamed up against Vizunah (The invincible dreadnought server) for which seemed like an eternity. Eventually I stopped caring. But I still support this suggestion, maybe some day I will give it another shot.

WvW is a large part of the game, refusing to take part in it, at all, is your choice, and you’re not punished for it, but you’re not rewarded either.
But that’s just it, players who just want 100% world completion are not contributing. They don’t want to be in WvW at all. They are just taking up space in WvW.
Ah… But are they? Lets say a small squad spots them and gives chase, they run of course, the time they’re being chased, is time that that particular group or player isn’t taking a supply camp, or killing reinforcements trying to reach a keep.
Lets say they spot for fellow player trying to solo cap a supply camp and they help, and why not? It’s free exp and karma right? And they’re contributing.
The point is, whether they want to or not, whether they’re helping take a camp, defend a keep, or just fodder for the wolves, they’ll assist in some small way most likely.
And if they manage to avoid all that? Well, I promise you, there are plenty of other useless people in WvW, so no hard feelings.
I guess that makes sense.
