I rather see a leaderboard with fastest completion times than some one opportunity one time thing depending on connection/crash/reallife issues.
That stuff doesnt make any sense from a competitive standpoint.
-
Other than completing them the point value is irrelevant to me really.
At some point you just replay what you have already done and thats how you get most of your rewards, through drops gathering eventchests etc, not through AP. AP are just arbitrary bonus points.

Well, you know how these days everything is "America first". Right? :p
But seriously really, after they switched the terms to US only I didnt think they suddenly would account for EU and non US accounts, even if previously connected. They obviously couldnt manage it, so I really doubt they could now.
Ofcourse, it could be they want players to start a US player-Non US player buddy exchange program so everyone outside of the US will get teamed up with one USbuddy to get a code. Who knows.

Cheap if they work. theres more expensive decorations that arent too interesting.

The first thing I thought of was the hearthstone expansion One Night in Karazhan. But that may just be me.

One of those things that just makes no sense to me. It only affects you if you bring other players and serves no other function.
I could understand it for the challenge mode, but not the story version.
A way to fight your way out, sounds very interesting, like with the fight with Shiro in Factions, his banishment lets you have shot at fighting your way back.
Every other case where players are forced to wait it out are generally structured group content or have been made so you dont just stand there.

I was thinking the same, I don't think I ever took part in these too early because of easy spoilers, and basically not knowing the content after half a day if I even manage to play that evening.

You just have to request it verbally or in writing. Since it seems we're no longer eligible to participate and allegedly never were I didn't see any reason to let KFT keep whatever information they might have on me, so I sent them this email earlier today:

But I'm considering this the first step in the process and will follow up if necessary.

Its in human nature to go against (human) nature.

Still though, promoting a promotion that is only for maybe half the playerbase, regardless of whether it will be in all languages or not, should at the very least be indicated as such... ON the launcher.
Not that I feel happy with ads or promotions on the launcher for stores on other continents that I cant take part in.

Nope, the third alternative is complain on the forums about getting another game.

It's a common misconception that its PVErs are the bad players. Its actually people who think they are PVPers but arent very good.
-
Not that i have much of a clue, but considering that chrono shield skill 4 is basically a cc + quickness skill. And wells are healing as well as doing powerful unique boons alongside some conditions, I dunno, These skills do way too much utility things imo.
-
The typical "I don't think 5 players is enough therefore it must be impossible" argument.
I mean, yeah you can't ignore mechanics and stack in a large ball of heal, DPS and everything else you need.
But not impossible, just hard.

> One theory among players is that whoever at Anet was involved in setting up this promotion didn't realise the code they used would unlock free accounts. If you look at the first few pages of this topic a lot of people (myself included) assumed it would only add the bonus items, even on a free account. It was only once people started getting and using the codes that we found out it unlocked the account too.

Hm, I personally dont see how one overlooks such things. Maybe I personally would double to triple check what a key unlocks before sending them out, but okay.

I dont understand why you would want to limit it to 1 copper.
Sometimes I dont mind putting up a buy offer when Im willing to pay more and sometimes I want to sell something as quick as possible so i sell something for alot less.
Especially if there's several gold between highest buy and lowest sell.

In the googleplay app in the topright corner with flag as inappriopiate, or over the google support website. There is an option to flag it as spam. I doubt it will really do anything, but it felt warranted for this mess up.

It was a reason for me to report this app to Google tbh.

First its hackers and then its botters. And then its always been limited to the US. Of ...course it has been.
Kung Fu Tea PR seems to be quite dishonest if you ask me. I mean, stuff goes wrong all the time, atleast admit it that it does. Clearly being transparent is not as important as (failing miserably at) trying to keep face.

> So, you think the marketing is okay?
Recently their marketing efforts were fairly okay. Barring when stuff went wrong ofcourse.
I think the one thing that feels missing from GW2 is maybe physical box-sales or merchandise not sold by a third party. Because when I go to any computer shop, or any game shop, the amount of GW2 related releases that are physically present are usually countable on one hand- IF there is one at all.
Not that I go into an actual gameshop much, but being a GW2 fan in such a shop is like, yeah I play this game.... that you don't really seem to have .. what am I even doing here?! GW2 players don't belong in gameshops, apparently.
Ofcourse, something like that probably requires some sort of funding. (Though kick starters and 3rd party gw2 merch stuff seem to be popular enough, but what do I know)

Let's bring up years old videos as an example as to why marketing is bad now.

You should check the Kung Fu Tea website really. Even in the US their shops arent as widespread as you believe.
Is the Legendary Ring Coalescence actually craftable right now?

This is news to you? :p
Someone who cares so much about his AP ranking as Malediktus that he requests the game needs to change to his expectations, obviously takes every change (or lack there of) not to his expectations personally.
