On my unsuccessful attempts, the radio button would show On until I left the Connect Social Media Accounts tab; once I left that tab and came back, the button would show Off. After the successful attempt, it now shows my FB profile picture and name at the top of the Connect Social Media Accounts tab, and the Facebook button stays On, even after fully restarting the app.

Ummm...you get to the reward coupons, click on the bottom one, the one with the codes, and keep clicking on it, until you get to a "link to facebook notice," then you click on that, several times sometimes, until you are linked.

Then you go back to social rewards, and should see a red "1" next to messages.

Once that loads, take that code to the Guild Wars2 website and apply the code.

Hope this makes sense.

And I poked Link to facebook more than once. It felt like that the poor little website was being bombarded with more than it could handle. Lots of lag. Maybe today will be a breeze.

Lisa-Hopes so.

I needed to clarify something, and the website will not let me edit my post. When the Grey circle stopped and told me there were no rewards, I would immediately try again and again until it stuck.

And then I get in that "$1 off" loop that won't let me go anywhere. I'm curious as to whether you experienced the same sort of behavior before you finally got in, or if your experience was different.

I don't have my phone in front of me. What I did is let the grey circle do its pulsing thing. Eventually, it would stop and either tell me there were no rewards found, or it would reveal the the Guildwars2 coupons.

I clicked the bottom coupon, the one with the code until it wanted me to link to facebook. I did that.

Then I got a notice that I had a message.

The odd thing was, when I clicked on the message tab, there was no message.

I wondered if it was loading, so I waited, and waited....and finally turned my phone off, and turned it back on. I still had the notice that I had a message, but there was no message to be seen. So I left it there, on the message page, to hopefully load, and I turned my attention to doing map completion on Rata Sum.

It loaded!!!!

I copied the code down on a piece of paper, and used it in the "Apply new code" section, I think that is what it is called, of the Guildwars2 website.

And I had my T-Shirt !

Did the same process for my husband and it went faster. Not sure if the crowds trying to get in were thinner, or knowing what I was doing made a difference.

Did you get it? I wish you could hand over your phone to me and I could do the time-consuming stuff for you. I did that for my husband. He has no patience whatsoever.

I had his code for him in about 10 minutes.

The look on his face was priceless.

Of course, I learned how to do it in the blood of many hours of not knowing what I was doing, or even if I was on the right path.

I paid my dues.

Whew.

I am so happy.

Hugo, thank you. Everyone thank You. Arenanet I love you.

Lisa.

I have a question. I am in the social rewards section of the App. There is a pulsing grey circle and three lines on the right side of circle. Does this mean it is trying to load the rewards screen??? Should I leave this screen and try to re-enter, or should I just let the Grey circle pulse?

Nooo...that would be soul crushing.

I think I am linked to Facebook as I see the word Facebook in the top left.

This is nerve wracking.

I do not know why, but if I don't know how to do something I mess up .\

I am a facebook novice. Sigh.

My app says there are no rewards available right now...

Nihevil...I am in your court, but, yes, it is ego. You want something to show everyone you have been here since the beginning. When everyone and their cat is given a way to getting that shirt, you are crushed. Yes, it is ego, but not all ego is bad. This is understandable ego.

Here is another hug.

That said, since the shirt is really going to be released, I am very excited to get the shirt. I am a six-year vet but started too late to get the shirt.

Maybe Anet could release a t-shirt with our account start date on the shirt.

Hmm..they could then make the shirts of the people who were here at launch in Neon Orange or Neon Green so they will stand out :)

Probably have to upload a receipt.

Not really anymore tbh, the decisions that this company makes over the many years has pushed me away.

Lisa gives Niheil a hug. You enjoyed your 8-hour drive there and back and so you have some wonderful memories. You were able to proudly wear that shirt for six years before all of us who came into the game too late to get it....and honestly, do you really need the tee-shirt to feel more superior to all us latecomers to the game????

I don't know about most people, but when I see someone with the t-shirt and cap on, my first and only thought on the matter is "oh they have been here since launch."

I do not feel the need to bow at that person's feet in awe.

So, Nihevil, be happy. There are a lot of exciting things coming.

Put your six years of experience to work by helping the new people.

They will think you are a friendly God.

Lisa.-Are we sure the Dragon shirt is coming with the Kung Fu Tea???

Reading this, I will not get excited either. Which is fine. Not getting excited will make it sweeter if the content is something I can do, and, if it is stupid content, well, then I will not be disappointed and upset.

Thank you Bloodstealer, sounds like a solid plan.

You want to show your friends how great you are??? Just joking :)

Lisa-Tired.

So Sun's Refuge will be episode 4, not 5????

If so, Yay!

College Station, Texas is not a very large city. It is a sprawling college town and, to my joy, we have one! Not only do we have one, it is about a mile from my house. I downloaded the app, and, while the drinks looked like something I would drink, there were no prices listed on the app...yikes.

I googled the company and the prices were not as bad as I had feared.

So, tomorrow, I am going to sally forth and visit this place...sheesh...only a mile or so from the house and I have not been there.

Lisa-needs to broaden her horizons

I grudgingly agree the t-shirt and cap should be kept exclusive...but I would really love to have a similar t-shirt and baseball cap for my characters.

Lisa.

I started this game September 23, 2012. I created and deleted a lot of characters until I settled down and got a couple to 80. As a result, I celebrate my first 6th year birthday on November 7th..Gads but I want to reach back through time and give myself a good talking to. Oh well. If wishes were fishes.

It would be nice if every player received something small on the exact day of the game's birthday..nothing big, just something to make everyone feel included.

Happy Birthday in advance :)

Lisa tiptoes into thread. If you know your serial number, the name of the character, about when it was deleted, and an empty slot you could contact support to see if they can undelete it. Explain to them what happened. Maybe you will be lucky.

Lisa-Slinks out again.

Another route you can take to get gems is a tad more expensive, and you have to know how much the tax is on the number of gems that you want, but the gift cards put out by Visa and Mastercard, the ones that you can find everywhere, will work like a treat. I have used them a couple times with absolutely no problems..when I knew how much the tax was for the number of dollars to gems that is :)

Hello all. Right now it is almost 3:00 in the morning Central time. I could not sleep anymore so I decided to play for a bit.

In chat, someone asked why there were about seven rangers with Jungle stalkers in Eda's Orchard. I went to see, and, sure enough. There were both female and male rangers complete with Stalkers and alphabet soup names.

I took screenshots to memorialize the occasion.

When I first started there were Ranger and Bear Bots all over, so seeing these Bots all crammed into the Orchard, brought memories back.

Wonder if we are going to start seeing Ranger Bots again?

Lisa.

Lisa tiptoes back into the thread. Wow. This seems to be quite an emotional subject.

Religion, Politics, and now..Mount prices?

I am not going to comment. I got badly burned with my purchase of the five pack and I said my peace earlier.

I snuck back into the thread to say that after fiddling with the colors, I am now happy with my Hammerhead skimmer. I used Carnage Orange, and Enameled Perseverance as the top two colors, left to right, and Imperial Red for the bottom two colors.

The little guy is no longer drab

He is ...what do you young whippersnappers say...

He is lit :)

Lisa-making lemonade

> Recharge reduction should decrease their recharge time. And yes its a Shout. "Ammunition" is NOT a skill type, its a skill property. \

>

> As for how it works, its pretty simple and basically the same as Mesmer/FIrebrand Mantras. You can carry X number of charges of the Skill, and most skills have a regular cool down timer (which is on the tool tip) between uses to prevent spamming. The recharge time indicates how often you a charge added back to the pool. If its 25 seconds, and has 2 charges, if you expend both, it takes 25 seconds to get 1 back, and another 25 (for a total of 50 seconds) to get back up to 2 charges.

>

> The effective cool down of the skill is 25 Seconds.... but you now have some flexibility on when you need it. You can use 1 per 25 seconds, or use 2 and have ~50 second down time before you can use it again.

Ahhh...thank you so very much. I understand now.

Lisa.

Hello everyone.

I was sprucing up my Berserker when I noticed something. I knew that "For Great Justice" was turned into an Ammunition skill. I did not know anything about Ammunition Skills, so I went to the Wiki for answers. Still puzzled.

"For Great Justice" is a shout that grants Fury and might to yourself and Allies.

The "Tactics" Specialization contains "Vigorous Shouts."

"Vigorous shouts" heals allies, grants adrenaline, and shouts recharge faster.

My question is does "Vigorous Shouts" still make "For Great Justice" recharge faster since "For Great Justice" is now an Ammunition skill and not a shout???

Or is it classified as both Shout and Ammunition ????

Does it, to quote Wiki, "reduce the time it takes to regain one Ammo?"

I am so confused.
