Well, back to the reason of the post:
How do the people who already have the digital deluxe edition claim the wizard hat? Or is that only for people who buy the digital deluxe for 20 bucks cheaper than the rest of us?
Thanks about all the offensive posts by the fanboys, but all I want to know is how to claim the hat (if it is possible to have it).
To use the same analogy I used before …if you bought a burger yesterday from a fast food place and then today that same place is offering the same burger buy 1 get 1 free …does that mean you should feel entitled to a free burger today just cause you paid for 1 yesterday? Get over yourself already….its called business…don’t like it then go elsewhere. I am willing to bet it will be the same…
If im a regular costumer that spent 400 bucks in burgers in the last 3 months I believe they would happily gimme the burger.
And BTW, I think Anet will miss more someone like me who spent 400 bucks in the game than anyone like you who probably spent only 60. Unless they prefer pollyanna-like players than the ones with cash, which might be Anet case, but certainly not NCsoft’s.
Well I am seriously begionning to wonder about “We’re all adults here” comment considering all the whining thats taking place regarding every little stupid thing…if you don’t like it then don’t play….plain and simple…oh…and you won’t be missed either by the rest of us “adults”…
No one is forcing you to want the hat, mate. And believe me, you wouldnt be missed as well. Maybe by companies who like people who are just happy with anything so they can deliver a poor product and a crappy costumer service.
So everything that you have had from the beginning should be given to all the new players that join as well? Cause you seem to want everything they might get…what makes you so special? Get a grip and quit acting like obnoxious little spoiled brats…sheesh
They will have the chance to get almost everything I got, maybe not the karka things, but it is not my fault they decided not to buy the game in pre-purchase.
1) I know the hat is cosmetic and wont affect the gameplay
2) I know I have things they wont have, but I have been playing for longer, so I dont see why not having more things
3) I dont mind they making promotions to get new people, just dont understand why not giving the people who bought the exact same digital deluxe thing what they are giving new players
4) The wizard’ kittenis slightly different from witches hat
5) I am a collector, I like to collect things, that is why Ive pre-purchased the deluxe edition
6) Buying an extra copy wont make it possible to send to my main account an account bound item, so that is a bad idea (I cant say stupid idea or I might get suspended from forums)
7) I have no problem with new players having new hat or a promotional price. I just want to ALSO have it, since I have purchased the very same edition for $20 more.
8) So far I could have everything on game until they decided to release a new item which I cant obtain in my account
9) Some people have real low standards and I guess that is why game industry is caring less each day for the players
10) People like me (who want to collect everything) spend enough money to keep the game free for the 99% of casual/non-completist players. So stop telling me what I should or shouldnt expect from the game, because it is people like me who make it possible to keep the game free to people like you.
11) I can play the game without a cosmetic hat. I can also not play the game. But Ive chosen to play the game and to collect things, so I dont think it is fair someone who has the game since beta not be able to get an item only because it was released for players who purchased it LATER. I can perfectly understand the oposite, as in GW I never had the chance to have the tengu thing because I hadnt the game when this was released and never seen a problem with it.

I dont mind sales nor promotions, I only want to get for $20 more the same things people are getting for $20 less.
All games have to run promotions after they have been out a while. Lots of games drop in price. I played diablo 2 and expansions for full price, and the price eventually dropped.
Same with GW1. Bought first account early, When I later bought another I got all 3 games for less than I paid for the first one. But I got value in playing it a year or two earlier than if I waited for the price drop.
It is business and the company’s lifeblood. They sell more copies, they can bring us more expanded content. There are lots better things to complain about.
Keep making excuses for the way they treat their fans. It doesn’t change the fact that they disregarded their most loyal fans who have been following them and supporting them for years for some quick cash.
I had 3 GW accounts. I was going to buy 1 collector’s edition and 2 digital deluxe accounts of GW2. But then the costumer support started getting worse and worse, I ended up buying only 1 copy, and a digital one.
But since beta I feel like being disrespected by NCsoft/Anet. Even though I kept spending money on cash store, but the more I play, the more I feel disrespected. Both by the costumer support, which is the worst Ive ever seen (and Ive played a lot of MMOs – even the f2p had better costumer support) and by feeling not rewarded for the time and money I put into the game. I didnt receive the karka chest by mail, even having done the whole event, and now I see they giving a new hat to new players and not giving to the ones who pre-purchased the game.
I have been complaining, I have been feeling disrespected, but I still play the game and spend money on it. But if things keep going like this, Ill probably abbandon the game as I did with WoW years ago and as I did with Lotro last year. I dont mind spending cash with the game, but I do mind being repeatedly disrespected.

I dont mind the price drop. All I want is the hat. I have paid $20 more for it, I dont want the $20, I only want to have the same benefits the people paying $20 cheaper will have.
Is that an official information? Where did you find it?
While I dont really cara having paid $80 for something that is now $60, I think it would be fair to give the hat to all people who have the digital deluxe version of the game.
I doubt that is gonna happen considering it costs money.
Atended/Looted/No email/suspended 24h from forums and post deleted for asking for official info in a way a mod considered against the rules

can a moderator clarify this?
Yeah, I dont find any official info about it. I wont cry if I dont receive a chest, all I want to know is if I am eligible or not, cause I didnt get it.
Can we have official information about the karka chests?
1- Who is eligible to earn them? Everybody? Does that include the palyers who already eraned it during the event?
2- Until when are those players suposed to earn the chest?
3- After that time, how should the players who didnt receive the chest proceed?
i agree the fast travels are way overpriced. i have been walking a lot (and porting in cities too) because the time you need to earn the money to port many times is bigger than the time you need to walk. and it is really annpying to have a bunch of load screens (from LA to AC you can have up to 4 loading screens, same to TA).
cause if you make too much money in auction house you wont buy gold from anet
This is why most companies just ignore this stuff from the start.
It doesn’t matter what they do someone is going to piss and moan about it.
I did the event, got my chest, didn’t get one mailed to me (yet?) and I don’t deserve one. I think it sucks that people who exploited the event (did it more than once) are getting more in some cases but I’m not going to get upset about it.
I’m just happy Anet is making an effort to give those who deserve it what they do deserve. If some random people happen to get a bonus, fine. It’s the price of trying to do the right thing (unfortunately some of the players didn’t/aren’t doing the right thing).
people just care more about what other people get than about what they get themselves.
Wow. I didn’t get to go but I would have liked to see the event more than a chest— You realize how you sound here?
The chest was the only good part of the entire 3 day event
totally agree. the event was a pain in the kitten day 1 was lagged like hell, day 2 was canceled without a word about it and day 3 was a pain in the kitten only good thing was the chest.
yeh thats getting pretty annoying, maintenances affecting conectivity everyday. if you give us coontent where we are supposed to spend 45-90min playing you must provide us with stable servers. thats the second time i lose conection while in jade maw. getting pretty annoying. ill probably get back to TSW while you finish GW2 beta test.
They have extremely detailed logs.
lol!
When I log off, the card is not accessible anymore. Yesterday I bought 50 bucks of gems and a few hours later I was going to purchase some more. I didnt have an IP change, only a few hours had passed and, again, the number was grayed out and it said I had to retype all the info (which is pretty annoying, considering I have to put my name, address, zip, cc number, etc.). My CC was in my car and I was lazy to go down and get it, so I gave up buying. Anet/NCsoft lost 50 bucks because of their flawed system. In all the professional companies in game industry (I can name Blizzard, Steam and EA), my saved CC info is really saved and I dont have to retype them every time I purchase stuff.
It would be a security feature, one of three (somewhat obvious) things could be happening:
1. If you save the card information but don’t access it for a period of time it could lock you out.
2. Card information is only saved for a limited duration of time, after that expires it locks you out.
3. The location based security feature that requires you to authenticate a new IP address for your account could cause your saved card information to be locked out to prevent credit card fraud.It’s annoying, but a secure system is usually annoying to use… which is why it’s secure in the first place.
the 4 numbers are there, but they are grey and cant be selected, so everytime I buy gems I have to retype all the kitten (including address). its the stupiest cash store ever made.
I thought you were going to answer that one since it is about money.
Please remove WvW kills from the monthly then. Not interested in doing it.
You don’t HAVE to do the monthly.
plz do it. wvw sucks.
well, like he said, anet wont change gw2 monthly because YOU dont like it. nor because I dont like it. WvW is the most boring mass “pvp” ever done in MMO history, but I do my 50 world kills for monthly. I do because I want the monthly, not because I need it.
Same for fractals: if you dont like them, dont do monthly or do only for monthly.
So, whats the point on saving the credit card number in cash store if everytime I will buy gems my card info is grayed and I have to retype all the crap? Why did you make such a kitten feature? Why doesnt it work like it should?
For being sub free, the game already have a huge number of idiots and spoiled kids. Gouing f2p means multiplying that number, multiplying the number of the annoying gold sellers, bringing multiplying the number of kitten who cant even hit the marked target and multiplying the stupid queues that we have due to the lack of investment on GW2 servers. So no, please. If you want 60 bucks in gems, ask mom and dad for it as xmas gift.
Anyway, they’ll probably make something like the Consortium chests, that cost more than a BL key just because there’s less money for them in BLC. People have been saving up keys which means they’ll buy less.
Good point. So that people who spent money and are short on gold/gems will need to buy stuff from cash store.
dude, NCsoft loves money. So yes, there will be special stuff inside the blc.
This is a very nice idea, which was addressed multiple times in the suggestion forum.
You have aggroed the fanboys.
You have already paid for it, so NCsoft doesnt really care if you will or will not play. Neither do the fanboys.
What’s with today update?
meh i just opened a topic asking for a dungeon finder, i should have read this 1st. i dont even understand why Anet released a game without this, specially for a game where living together is encouraged.
I dont even understand why you released the game without it.
People are still crying because other guys got better loot… envy sux (my best piece of loot was worth less than 5g but you wont see me crying because other people had better drops).
Oh, and also “save” current search, so when we go to a different tab (lets say the trasactions tab) and come back you dont lose your search.
That would be awesome, no one needs a dead target. At least remove it if the dead target is an enemy.
Used the link, thx.
Best way to get gold is Visa or Mastercard.
I got the e-mail. Link doesnt work. Anet, start by fixing the survey link plz.
I decided to give Anet some (more) minutes to give feedback about the event. Too bad the links dont work. You could start by fixing this, Anet.
You should make a way to let us save builds (you did in GW). Of course I know that we have very few skills avaiable and even fewer that we can change, but it would be nice to have a way to save them. For example, I want to be able to save my “running” build (the one I use to run without fighting), my “everyday” build an my “vs. speficif foes” builds so I can fastly switch between them.
I think a slot for minis is an awesome idea.
Well, they arent explaining how it works either, so they can be arbitrarily changing prices if they want/think it will sell more gold.
GW2 economy tries to mimic the RL economy so as the exchange rates for currencies are arbitrarily made by the state banks, so A-net may change the rates as they see fit.
Currencies prices fluctuate like auction house does: you have buying offers and selling offers. The state banks can influence it like Anet could do, but state banks will still need buy/sell offers (they can plate those offers themselves if they want, ofc). The way gold selling works is not clear. I wouldnt see a problem if it was player driven like the auction house and a lot of others p2w MMOs, but I personally dont like the way it works today. I would prefer either fixed price or player based, but this “who knows the rules?” system aint good in my opinion.

Since you are officially selling gold, you should do it for a fixed price, instead of a random price fixed by you according to your feelings. Either make it player driven (like the auction house items) or make it a fixed price (1,000 gems = X gold), but not this obscure system.
