Guild Wars 2

Vayne.8563:

Just for you!

Ok this will be my last post to this. Just for you cause you keep bringing up the same thing and I feel your not getting what I am saying or maybe even reading it properly.

Ok I have 12 girl on GW1. They are all kinda spaced out on years so not all get the same gifts when there bday comes around. I open them and get… ewww white. Lots of whites. OMG! I so unlucky to get all white. They all duplicates to. How unlucky is that (this did happen to me often to). So what can I do with them. Hmmm, oh ya. I can sell them. May be cheap but they sell. Or better yet, I can trade them. I tend to do well that way. I get minis or mats I can always use or trade for something else. Hmm, well there are a couple that don’t seem to be selling. Shame! What can I do with them. Oh I know, lets play a game of hide and seek in town and give them away to who ever finds me. That’s always fun. Sweet, I was able to use, sell or gave them away to someone that wanted them. Thanks for the B-Day gift. Was not perfect but it was useful and nothing went to waste. I sure enjoyed them.

GW2 – I have 3 girls for each race (each armor class) and one guy character. Plus 2 extra for no reason at all. About half are at or reaching 4 years but just the other day 3 of them got 1-3year gifts. Especially my Revs who got year 1.

Anet – Here you go! Happy Birthday.
Me – Sweet Thanks! Lets open some gifts. Hmmm ummm Anet buddy you know I got the Mini Queen right.
Anet – Oh! Ya, so.
Me – Been 4 years even if this girl is 1 year. Oh well, guess cant be helped. Can I trade her in now?
Anet – Whaaat! Don’t you like her?
Me – Well ya, but I have 16 of her in my bank now. Can I trade them in?
Anet – Naw! She is cute. Enjoy!
Me – Ok, well what else we got. What are these?
Anet – Slips of paper that say you can advance to lv 20, 30 or 40. Enjoy!
Me – Oh that’s cool and all but it’s been 4 years. I have so many of them already and well. You see my girls. All but 4 of them are lv 80 and the others are over 40. Can I trade them in?
Anet – Whaaa… but those are free lvs. You never know when you might need to lv up a new char.
Me – Ok sure but at this point when will I ever make 30 new characters? Can I give them to some new players. Kinda as welcome to GW2 thing. Have 20-40 lvs on me.
Anet – Dude, stop trying to ruin the game for others. Remember how much fun it is to play the game.
Me – Sigh Fine, ok! What else! Birthday Boosters? Just like these Celebration Boosters. Just like the 38 and 40 other boosters I already have and…. no, not going to say it. Just like those slips of paper. Maybe in the far distant future something I need karma for will come out.
Anet – That’s the spirit. Enjoy!
Me – Ok what is next. Dyes, well alright. Hmm maybe. Well there are 3 dyes I definitely want from these Celebration Dye packs and 4 from the Jubilee dye packs, but…
Anet – Oh what now? Don’t you like dyes?
Me – Oh well I got a couple I could use, but the rest are not my style and don’t need. Sooo can I…
Anet – NO! No trading them in. Just… just pick out random dyes. Complete the collection.
Me – But I won’t ever use those colors. EVER! I mean some are rather gross. Come on, let me give them to some other players. Maybe some that really don’t have extra chars or have to wait 2 more years for a great dye. Please!
Anet – Oh come… hey look at your other gift. We got you a gun that shoots cake. HA! This gun is no lie, its all cake. Ha… get it. Now that’s real fun right.
Me – Sigh Ok ok! Let’s see this gun. pew pew Hmmm, well that’s not bad. But, it takes up a space and I really don’t have a use for it. Though, thanks Anet. It’s not a bad gift.
Anet – You got that right. Here are some tokens to jump to your friends. Those are useful right?
Me – Well ya, kinda but it does not cost much to party up and join them were ever they are. I really don’t have a use for them. The 90 in my bank are kinda gathering dust. Can I give them to my guild mates or some random pla….
Anet – Why do you want to give away my gifts to you? Don’t you appreciate my appreciation of you?
Me – Oh no I do. In fact I see the effort and think they are great idea’s. Though, did you think about players like me that have a lot of characters and are accumulating all this stuff over 4 years? 7 or 8 on some chars that were made later in my game life. I mean it’s not that I don’t appreciate what your doing. Getting these gifts 2, maybe 3 times would be really cool and have had good use. 16+ gifts of non-tradeable account or soul bound items. Well, I just don’t get the point.
Anet – But we are trying to make you happy. What, do you want more? Rarer stuff or to sell all this and make money? I just… I just don’t want to flood the market or make it to easy or… or…. sniff
Me – Whoa! I am happy. I love your game so much. I love how you work hard to try and make us happy. Even if it is nearly impossible to make everyone happy. I don’t want more stuff or bigger rarer stuff. Do you remember how much fun I had in GW1 with the gifts?
Anet – Ya, but you gave so many of them away. I thought you hated them.
Me – No! Sure, I may not have gotten the cool greens or golds. But opening those gifts and not knowing what I was getting was fun. Then taking my extras and trading them to others who did not get what I got or even better. Giving some away to players who were just starting out. You gave me a chance to have so much fun back then. You let me share and laugh and just enjoy every moment.
Anet – And your not now?
Me – Well I do enjoy the game, but as far as the birthday gifts. It’s not about what I get. Just want to be able to have fun with it. Even if that fun comes from giving them away.

And that’s the end of the story. I hope you understand. I am not going on about getting rare things or making money. It’s about having fun with what I get. They want us to have fun and enjoy the game as well as our gifts. I am just not enjoying them cause I have no use for them.

It was the truth what I said happened 2 days ago. I had a 1 year, 2 year and 3 year B-day girl (and two 4 year girls). After opening each gift all I did was stick them in the bank to gather dust cause I am hoarder (remember Gwen’s torn cape from GW1). If all I got was a couple presents per year for my account then ya. It would not be so bad. Though every present after that is just a toss in my face of more useless junk I can’t enjoy in anyway. I am not a karma grinder or dye collector. I am don’t need to get a dye just cause it’s the most expensive dye on the market. I would say that may just be me, but there are lots of players that feel similar about this.

Now that I have looked at the Year 4 dye list. I am happy to say I am going to use 6 of the dye packs I get for all the bloodstone dyes. Cause I like them all and can use them. Taimi dyes are in both dye packs just to put that out there. After that every Jub dye pack will sit in my bank and never get used. With the Karma coupons. I will say year 4 is slightly better then 1-3. Not much though since I am getting so much more useless stuff.

Do you understand what I am saying? If not then I don’t know how to say it any better.

Another Birthday BUST?

tron.1438:

Final words: I am not asking or demanding in anyway for grandiose gifts or more stuff. I am not asking for less stuff. I am asking to be able use the stuff I get in some way. Even if it is simply to give it away to a friend or some cool person I partied with. Heck I would have been happy for a bag of rare mats. They are a great gifts, but so much of it I have no use for. That is all I am saying.

Your title says the gifts are a bust, all of them.

That’s a lot different from saying you think they are “great gifts” that you wish would appeal to more players such as yourself, that have different interests.

I get that you meant to be starting a discussion about how different stuff would be better, you didn’t mean to ask for more (or even less) stuff. Unfortunately, your rhetoric suggests that you think ANet is completely out of touch with players and that the gifts are worthless.

Actually, there is a question mark at the end of the title. Meaning I am questioning if this is another bust of a birthday for me and anyone else. So I don’t say it’s a bust in title.

Now, even if if I was to say in the title that they were in deed busts. Does not mean that I few them as bad gifts for anyone else. Merely that they are bad, or rather useless gifts to me. I mean look at what I am saying. If at least 75% of all the gifts you got for the last 4 years were things you could do nothing more then throw away. No pleasure from using them or even looking at them. No joy in giving them away. No chance of exchanging or even giving them back gift giver with a sincere thank you for the attempt. You would say that they were kinda a bust.

I am allergic to fish, does not mean I think giving someone smoked salmon is a bad gift. I think it’s a great gift. Just not a great gift for me. So if you give everyone including me a gift of fish and my only option is to eat it throw it away. Well guess I am wasting food. Same principle here. Though true, using a dye won’t kill me. What will I get from it. Nothing I will ever use.

It seems a lot of people are missing the point. If I am given something to show appreciation for my time and it is something I can enjoy in anyway. It would be the same as getting a gift of nothing. I love this game. I think the gifts are great gifts, just not for me. My post just goes into detail about why I am unhappy. So that hopefully those that feel the same join in for our voice to be heard.

Like I said. I am not wanting more. Just something I could use. Even if it’s a fat sack of mats.

Vayne.8563:

This reply goes to you to.

Ya, they only did 1 mini in the 4 years. The mini they gave in GW2 is not related to the Mini example from GW1. The gifts in there entirety is the comparisin. The fact that in GW1 I never had an issue with a gift cause no matter what I got. I got use out of it. Even if all I got was a big fast pile of white minis and they were all the same one. I would have been able to use them. I gave mini’s to friends, to guild members and even as prizes just for finding me in town. I had a TON of duplicate mini’s. I got them in trade a lot. Still, never upset with any of them or getting them as the gifts. Cause no matter what. There was always a way to use them instead of throwing them away.

In GW2 I can’t even give any of this stuff away to anyone who might have use for it. Sure there are plenty of players who would have loved one of my many lv 20 scrolls year 1 and 2. This has nothing to do with mini’s specifically. Just that there is I can do with all this stuff they are giving me. Do you want one of my celebration dyes? Oh wait, I can’t give it to you. Sorry!

See!

I really hope everyone reading this further looks down here. If you don’t agree with me. That is cool. That means you enjoyed your gifts. I have not. I am not hating on Arena. I am not demanding anything. I am simply pointing out that I (and I am sure many others) are not happy with them for the reasons I listed. Maybe they will see this and change for year 5. Maybe they will come up with a system to exchange unwanted gifts or account bound rewards for something else. Maybe they will just read this and laugh. I don’t know.

So everyone enjoy your gifts if you can. I do think they have some great stuff in them, but just nothing I can use.

Ok so I am getting a lot of no one wants to read and assume I am just hating or something.

I said the gifts are great IF…. IF… they were 1 per account instead of 1 per character.

Vayne.8563:

So what you’re saying is a white mini on a bunch of Guild Wars 1 characters, because that’s what you got most often, is somehow better than we’re getting here?

Okay. I think a single white mini per character is much worse than we get here. Sure you could get a green or a gold mini, but what are the odds.

Someone could theoretically have started Guild Wars 1 two years after it launched and they’d be two years behind on birthday presents where the mini they get, if it was white, would have been worth next to nothing. And I’m sure those people complained.

At the end there were probably more people like that, than people that have every dye.

Birthday boosters, a 24 hour buff is actually pretty nice. Teleports to a friend? I use them all the time. A nice back piece once per account, pick the best you want, so everyone doesn’t have the same thing, nothing wrong with it.

And the dyes, which for most people would be worth more than the white mini they were most likely to get in Guild Wars 1.

I’m sorry but this is definitely a case of rose colored glasses. I one year in Guild Wars 1, I opened presents on 12 characters and got 11 whites and a purple. I promise you I wasn’t thrilled with what I’d gotten.

I’ll go on record to say the dyes are probably as good or better, and everything else is gravy.

So 11 whites and 1 purple that you can TRADE/SELL/or GIVE AWAY is worse then 14 of the exact same mini that you can do nothing with, 14 experience scrolls you can do nothing with, 36 Birthday boosters that have no to little use to me. At most I will probable use 2-4 of those Boosters. (by the way I have other boosters just like them given out from events)

So ya. If I am going to be given the same thing over and over. I would like to be able to use then throw it in the trash. That’s kinda rude to have someone give you something and you just toss it in the trash. How would you like it if you gave something to you a person you appreciate and they just tossed in the trash right there in front of ya saying, “No thank. Can’t use it.”

Yes, I liked the Queen mini. Even use her on one of my char. Would be great if I use all them. Yes I used a couple of the lv 20 scrolls from year 1. Year 4, everyone is pretty much past lv 40. Ya, B-Day boosts were nice year 1 and 2 for said charactures getting up in lvs but year 3 and 4 don’t really need them any more. Birthday guns were cute and fun but tossed them all after the first day and never used them again. Don’t have a use for them. Though it was a cool gift.

The DYE packs that I am getting a lot of anger on. 4 years with the game. I have 17 charactures. Now I would have used all these dye packs and begged for more IF the game was the same back in year 1 or even 2. Though they changed the way dyes work. I use to have to get the same dye for each of my chars most of the time. Which was a pain. Now that they all share dyes colors. I only need 1. Year 3, ya I used a couple of the dye I really liked. I don’t need every dye or already got the dye I needed. When new dyes came out. I almost never needed any of the colors and only got them for sale later.

Now with all these account bound dyes. What do I do with them? Open them and get random dyes I will never use just to fill a checklist? They are a great gift, just to much of the same thing I don’t need.

Year 4, birthday cards. I am using everyone of them. Great gift. Bag of shards was cool at the time cause I they had use then as well. Teleport to a Friend, well I can see how others may need that. I think I have only used 1. Every time I wanted to run a map with a friend. I just grab the way point nearest to them. Seems to work for me.

If I could I would GIVE this all away to people who need them. I hate wasting cool items. They are all great but I can’t use them.

AGAIN!!! For all those that may have missed it. They are all great gifts but I can’t use them.

That is the issue here. NOT that they are bad or anything like that. I have so much of them that are of no use to me. So ya, 11 white mini’s and 1 purple mini that I can trade/sell/or give away is a better gift then all this stuff I have to throw away or let sit in my bank.

Oh and for your info Vayne.8563. I started GW1 about a year and half after the game came out. Ya, I got mostly whites. Ya, they were not as expensive as the newer whites but I still traded them for things I could use. Materials, a little gold, or some inscriptions I did not have.

Final words: I am not asking or demanding in anyway for grandiose gifts or more stuff. I am not asking for less stuff. I am asking to be able use the stuff I get in some way. Even if it is simply to give it away to a friend or some cool person I partied with. Heck I would have been happy for a bag of rare mats. They are a great gifts, but so much of it I have no use for. That is all I am saying.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

You can peruse the existing threads on this issue.

The packpack is the reward for the Achievement (4 years or more in-game), and not part of the Birthday Gift(s); thus, is for the account, and only rewarded once.

Thank you! Yes I looked up an image as I opened it to fast to remember if it said Birthday or Anniversary (hence why I say Birthday/Anniversary). I looked up Birthday for threads and did not see any as well. So that’s why I created this one. Still valid rant on the Birthday Aspect.

onevstheworld.2419:

What would you suggest as a suitable gift?

(cut is short to save on post size)

Ok as for your comment. I have made suggestions before on what would be suitable or good. No I do not think of this in anyway as a reward and yes as a gift. Though if everyone gave you socks and no pants or shirts. Then you be taping a lot of socks to your body.

Ok these are not like gifts you get in real life. This is a sign of Arena’s appreciation for players sticking around for so long. Now broken down each year. There is nothing wrong with each gift given. If you only get 1. If like the backpacks this was a per account to celebrate your accounts birthday. Then ya, they are worth getting. Instead they are per birth of each character you make. Thus a char you make 3 years into your account will not get 4th B-day gift like the rest of your your 4 year olds.

Now again, I feel these gifts are lack luster given the way they are. Getting 18 Queen Jennah seems like fish to the face. Gee thanks but I already have this and can’t use another. Can I sell it… no. Ok can I trade it in with these other mini’s… no. So what do I do with it. Throw it away or let it sit in my bank. Wow… thanks.

The same thing goes for the many birthday boosters and experiance scrolls I have. Almost every characture I have is lv 80 except for like 3 that are over 40.

The Birthday Gun was a novel idea. It is ok, though I don’t have any of them. It is something I used maybe 3 times then tossed to save space. Never to be recreated.

The dyes are cool if you actually need a dye they offer. There were some dye packs that were not included. Though out of all the dye packs I got. I only needed 2 dyes they offered. The rest by my 3rd year I had gotten cause I did not know they were coming or waiting for some special event that would give me the dye.

Again if this was a one per account thing. Then no big. Thanks for the gift. Since it is there way of celebrating each charactures birth. Then it’s now a “Ya thanks. Into the trash it goes.” I don’t toss them cause I am a pack rat. In hopes that they listen to me an the others like me and offer a way to trade them in. They do let you toss mini’s in the Toilet. They at one time had a way to exchange unwanted boosters for other items. Something can be done or they can offer something that might be more useful. I don’t know. That’s why I post these rants about disappointing things. In hopes it causes change.

Illconceived Was Na.9781:

And I can’t fault ANet allowing us a choice of just one backpack skin — the alternative would have been to giving us a skin and not letting us choose.

tl;dr I think 3rd and 4th year presents have been great. Sure, I’d like to have more, but don’t we always?

I am not asking for more. I am just asking for more diversity when it comes to players with multiple characters. I would dare say that well over 70% of the players I know or run into on a daily basis. Have more then 5 characters. A good chunk have 10. For a player with a couple characters. These are great gifts. For players with more, this becomes trash.

In GW1 this was never the issue as each character got a random mini that was trade-able just in case you got 2. It felt like more love was given for that 1 simple gift then from these gifts that give you multiple items.

Ashen.2907:

I like the free dyes.

Hmm yes the best thing about playing a game for 4 years is the game. Never said I did not enjoy the game. I love GW. I love it so much I got the collectors edition before even playing a beta, I believed in it that much. I LOVE THIS GAME. I am not crying them saying “YOU OWE ME”. I am saying that 4 years and pretty much every gift is unusable to me. Unlike GW1. I used about 10% of the Birthday gifts I got. Can’t use the rest.

Free dye or not. If I have no use for them or can even give them to people I like (same for all the other stuff). Then ya, its rather just a pile of junk. Sure I will probably end up using all the dyes to get random dyes I will never use. I don’t plan on collecting every dye color.

As for the PVE/PVP thing. Won’t go into it. Maybe I will express my feelings in another post.

IN THE END – (if anyone read this far)

A gift is a wonderful thing to get. Though the same thing over and over can be just slap in the face feeling of unappreciative. Remember there roots would have been nicer. Yes they seem to be getting better little by little. It still seem like to little of an effort.

I love this game and do not play it to get a gift, but cause its fun. If I did not enjoy it. I would have not play it. Even if I stake month long brakes cause I get bored and need change. I always come back for new content.

Is there things I dislike about the game. Ya, never been a game out there that does not have something someone won’t like. That’s why I express my feelings on those things in a place I hope to raise awareness to who ever will read it.

EDIT -

Hey if you only read this first part and about to say I am wrong or something. Please read carefully and better yet. Read my replies to what others may have said, that you might be about to say. Thank you for your time.

Enjoy the read.
—————————————————
Ok could be a glitch. Hope it is.

So, do you only get 1 Birthday/Anniversary Back Pack skin per account or per character that turns 4 years old? I logged onto 3 of my characters that turned 4 and only one got the back pack box. The first one I logged onto. Now thinking I would get one per char. I just grabbed a random skin, thinking I was going to get all 5 anyway. Seems wrong and the skin I picked was not my favorite. I just picked it cause it was a norn char and a norn pack.

Now it’s nothing new for a rather lack luster birthday with GW2. Don’t get me wrong. I love GW2 but it feels like they don’t care about the number of characters you play, but still give you the same thing for each character anyway.

14 Mini Queen’s
14 Experience Scrolls to lv 20, 5 to lv 30 and during the next year at least 8 to lv 40.
34 Birthday Boosters.
8 Celebration dyes and this year around 8 more birthday dyes.
Birthday Gun for each character (well that was kinda fun but old really fast)

Why haven’t I tossed this stuff. Well I am a pack rat. Still, look at all this junk. Yes, JUNK! As it is of no use to me. I can’t sell any of it. I can’t give any of it away. It is of no real use to me.

I would assume that most players who have been around for 4 years (most not all) are not looking for anything to help them lv up. Thanks to several events and other methods. Getting lv books is not that hard. Heck, when Rev came out. I had more then enough books to lv 80 with out using a lv 30 scroll. Not to mention that lv 80 scroll I got and use on a character I don’t even play that much.

I can forgive the game feeling like it sides more with the PVP/WVW players. I can forgive the outfit line that really ticks me off cause there are cool piece to the look I want. I just don’t want the entire outfit. I don’t want to be a carbon copy of everyone else. But I can forgive that. I really can’t forgive the year after year of loveless birthday gifts.

Especially when I lived through GW1 and the gifts were random mini’s you could sell or trade. At least come up with some kind of trade in with the mystic toilet or something. Let me trade in all those Queens for something. Let me trade in all those scrolls for something. Let me GET SOMETHING for being with GW2 for 4 YEARS.

Again, still love the game. Just things like this make me feel the love a lot less.

Also, if the OUTFITS were ARMOR. I would spend a lot more money on this game. Just saying ANET. A LOT MORE MONEY!

Don’t know. So far I have yet to find an answer. I did not think it was a glitch though since the are actually named:

Invisible Slippers, Invisible Boots and Invisible Stompers! There is also something called Gyve of Madness that is only in the heavy boots section. The icon kinda looks like a shoulder piece but shows as invisible shoes.

Kravick.4906:

I have a few outfits for my charr that would look good without shoes. Especially on my mesmer.

Ya thought it might make my Engineer, Rose Oil’s look a bit more interesting. ;P

Though I would like it for my Charr as well as my Asuran.

With guild wars 2 its a bit different. Sure in the past it was zerk this and that and you may find players who still think some classes are useless. What you want to do is get a feel for the classes you like. Feel the play style and then decide from what you like the most. All classes can be very useful if build right. This though is more from a PVE stand point over pvp. In the end though it is no fun if your just playing a class that everyone say is the best but you really don’t like.

I myself think the druid is a very sweet new class that will be great. Though I am working on Scrapper (eng) as that has got my interest most.

Also since there are so many new things and new builds to be made. A lot of PvP/WvW players are probably just now discovering what works great and what is not so good.

Anyway, good luck and have fun. Fun is the only reason to be playing the game.

Are these the same bat wings as the back piece?

Just a flesh wound.3589:

Thetmes.1623:

As of this morning, i just learned of these new ‘epic’ professions.

Here is my problem; I currently have a lot of fun playing my mesmer (who is only like lvl 17) and my new necro, and i really don’t enjoy the ranger that much.

HOWEVER, I think the Chronomancer, Reaver, and Druid look incredible (I love pvp(as a genearl team as i’ve never done WvWvW here) healing.

What should I do?

Thanks in advance (oh, and I did buy HoT a couple of days ago)

If you love sPvP (not WvW) and want to try them out, it’s a free unlock in sPvP.

If you want to play them in PvE or WvW, you need to get to level 80 first then assign 400 hero points for full unlock of traits, skills, weapon and skins.

This is good info but be for warned. After you get to lv 80, you need to get 400 more hero points just to unlock the elite. I don’t know if it is a glitch of the way it is now, but after lv 80, you won’t get Hero Points via lvs. So you will have to get them from hero point locations on the map. 213 in tyria and unknown amount in Maguma. As far as I can see. You won’t be able to use the elite until it is fully unlocked or the weapon related to it.

This is not to discourage you but to make sure you pick the class you really want as it will be a lot of work and you may be stuck with that char for a long while.

Ok, just looking through the wardrobe to see new stuff and get a bead on what I want to get from the new content. That is when I saw them. Invisible Shoes! Well Invisible Slippers. There are 3 different versions for each armor type and the are named.

So cause of that, I figured they could not be a glitch or something. I really would love the medium version for my eng silvari. It would be perfect.

So, does anyone know how to get them? I have tried doing searches and wiki and even dulfy. Yet no one has any info.

Thanks if you can help me out.

First off I love Guild Wars 1 and 2. They are the best MMO I have played out of the many I have tried. They have great customer support which is a huge plus for me. Still with how much I love the game. There are a couple things that would be nice if fixed, cause frankly. They make the game experience unenjoyable at times.

WvW Map Completion! This is possibly the worse thing in the game. I am not a PvP player. Guild Wars does have one of the best PvP/WvW set ups I have seen in an MMO, but still I don’t like PvP. So, why am I forced to do WvW just so I can complete my map. I would like to craft a couple of those sweet Legendary. I faced all the great challenges in the game. I worked hard to get everything else. Now I am stuck cause the server I am on is not very strong for WvW. Since I don’t WvW. I don’t like to fight others. Not to mention that many POI are in locked forts that only are accessible if my server owns them. At this rate, I will never get a Legendary. Why am I forced to participate in WvW or leave my server to go to a server that I don’t like to get my map completed? Removing this from the requirement for map completion or making it possible to walk the map without being attacked or harm others would be great. So many players have given up on this achievement cause they don’t want to do WvW.

Lost pages of the Living Story! Boy this living story idea is great and full of a lot of fun events. Well except the parts I missed. Which could be a lot. Hey new comer welcome to GW2. Enjoy the end of a really great event story line that you will no nothing about cause you started the game to late. A great thing would be to be able to do these story parts anytime. I mean how bad would it be to suddenly be thrust into the last 5 missions of Zhaitan and not know how you got there or why you are fighting this dragon. Why can’t we keep the stories to play through? If it’s to prevent getting extra goodies, achievement points, farming or such. Why not remove that after the event ends. I unfortunately had computer problems so I missed almost everything of Scarlet. My friend is telling me the story but that’s not as fun as doing the events. This is also not like holiday events that come every year. These are stories that I feel we will never see, ever. Makes me kinda sad.

Those are the 2 things that bug me.

Things I would like to see though in the future:

Soul Bound Remover (some soul bound stuff I would like to give to other chars on my account or even to a friend)
Weapon Dyes
Girl Line of cloths for Char and Asuran (just cause they don’t have ample chest, does not mean one gender fits all)
Useful Mini Pets – like they auto loot for ya. Make them more then just cute but great to have around.

Well thank you for your time and consideration. Pray for me that the stars aline and I can get my map completed. I really want a legendary.

Yep still broken I see. Though unlike many before me. I just hit this bug a 2 days ago. So its new to me. Hope it can be resolved soon. Thanks for your efforts and for an amazing game.

As for everyone else still with the problem. Just do some exploration and lv up your char in other areas till it gets fixed. No need to stay at lv 57 (using Rehnzo as example). My char is lv 70. Still plenty to do. You could also work on a side char while you wait. That is not as bad a thing as you might think. Gives you a chance to see different story lines and experience different classes and races.

Use this time waiting as an excuse to try new things. Unless you are or have already done then. Then in that case. Have Fun.

With most games in NA, the end of the day is pasific standard time as that is usually the last time zone that plays the game. So say like east coast, you have to add 3 hours. Further away, well keep on adding.

In fact Anet has specified that Pacific Standard time is the time of choice for them.

no, I am not saying they are developing it. No, but ever wonder how you get a notice that there is a new update to log out and log in. Cause it was uploaded already. When they upload it they see how it runs then hit the switch when it is ok for us to go in.

Sooo, if there is a problem in the upload or something was noticed at the last minute. Bam, delay happens. Not cause they are working at the last minute to add content. Just to make sure there is nothing that is going to cause problems.

Ok here is the thing. Anet is dedicated to put out a quality product. This is also the first major event they have done for GW2. So no matter what they say, they might have had to push back cause of conflicts. They do test before they release.

The only answer your going to get is hopefully soon.

If an Anet rep pops with an answer it is probably cause they just got things finished.
