I love how the 2nd one you want to be done with is, quite literally, the main focus of the Guild Wars 2 as a whole.

If it ends, the game ends.

This game is going to literally die if people have to wait 2 years for an expansion when everything has been done so slowly.

We also need to take into account that, out of all the characters from GW1 that people wanted to see, Palawa Joko was usually at the top of the list.

People WANTED to see him, wanted him to be a threat that we had to handle, so the fan support was clearly there from the start.

It's starting to look like you're deflecting the blame to them over and over. These keys came from YOU to the game that YOU control. Saying that THEY were the ones controlling the giveaway is honestly ridiculous when everything came from YOU. You seem to be trying to imply that Kung Fu Tea is somehow in-control of everything and were the ones that changed the rules when anyone would know that it came from ANet, the people WHO GAVE THEM THE CODES.

Then you even try to say that you do these things by language and not by location.....SERIOUSLY? If that obvious lie was in any way true, then answer me this: Why wasn't it stated, FROM THE START, that everything was U.S only? Why was it added AFTERWARDS and every other language version of it quietly removed?

Also, since you only "answer questions properly addressed to us", try to find an answer for the U.S players that DID do this scam of a giveaway for their codes, after trying for hours, only for the codes to NOT EVEN WORK.

_**I want to play an easily manageable character that does decent DPS and can hold himself in a Fractal, Dungeon type of environment.**_

Get Mesmer, use Mirage. There's almost nothing more easily manageable than that and Mirage is currently one of the best.

Just gonna remind people that the game used to be quite a bit harder, yet ANet has trivialized a lot of it over the years.

Would be nice if they said something about all this instead of keeping quiet.

Yet Digital Extremes actually gave Ash Prime to everyone after the issues were fixed since, you know, they're an amazing company compared to a certain one.

We give the best thing of all.

The feeling of playing as aliens [since Humans are literally NOT from Tyria].

Then use the head and read? That's not hard to do, especially when someone is TRYING to get a Precursor.

Still nothing huh. Easy fix, just send people the outfit and heroic codes and that's it and leave the big sweepstakes for U.S

I'm still waiting for them to add Shiro's armor/outfit and his weapons.

See, this is why MMOs and games in general are getting so ridiculously easy nowadays, people apparently can no longer handle anything with any sort of difficulty.

> In this case, he's proposing a QUEST for historical weapons that gives you historical background on your race in the process. An interesting thought, but not every weapon set appeals to every player. It would be a lot of work for them to set this up, and a bust if people didn't pursue the quest because the end reward was generally viewed as ugly. (I'm looking at YOU, Caladbolg...)

Then play WoW Legion and get Artifact weapons. We don't really have those sort of weapons in GW2 and, if we did, they'd just be Legendaries. It took till the player-created weapons to even GET a mini questline to get something, they won't do that for "mythical" skins.

Also, Spear isn't a new "type" when it already exists underwater in GW2 and has existed since GW1.

They don't want to add above ground SPEARS even when we've been asking for it since before HoT, do you really think they'll do this?

We can, literally, answer all of them with: We have no idea.

And the fact so many of you in this thread seem convinced that a majority WANT player housing is wishful thinking from your side.

Most people do not play an MMO to play house, most people play it to fight monsters or fight other people, this is a fact backed by the decades that online videogames and MMOs specifically have existed. Stop using your opinions as fact and using them to speak for others.

So you just want an instance that feels like an open world event.

Why waste time on that instead of just making it A open world event where everyone can participate?

In short, they still are working on resolving the issues that resulted in the pause of the promotion and will be giving another update next week.

So still nothing about people outside the U.S? Still nothing about YOU guys simply giving people the codes instead of trusting another random company with sketchy apps? Still absolutely nothing besides damage control "they're working on it" as if the blame was solely on them?

It's almost not even an issue to pay something. Many MMO's give the option to play for free to get a taste. Unless there is some big hidden market of MMO players that don't know about the internet and MMO's, I think the 'bad marketing' issue is overblown.

By your logic, let's not market anything at all since anyone savvy enough knows where to find info. No trailers, no ads, right?

Glad to see you're back to making assumptions just to fit your opinions and placing words in people's mouths.

At no point did i say that MMO players aren't savvy, i said that your opinion of "since they're savvy, there shouldn't be ads" is clearly wrong since, following your ridiculous logic, we don't need ads for anything since people that are interested or savvy will already know where to find the info they need.

The Dominator skins looked amazing.

Only real challenge is in some Fractals, Raids and HoT areas. Everything else has very little challenge, if any.

> @"RazielSpecter.6295" said: Anet has everything to be the new Blizzard

Didn't know Anet revolutionized multiple genres and managed multiple games. ANet is nowhere near close to be the new Blizzard. It's as far as it could possibly be, especially after this debacle.

I know it was a gigantic mess of lag, deaths and an extremely upset map chat, but does anyone have pics of the first Karka invasion? When i was forced to get a new PC, i pretty much lost all the pics i took of early GW2.

Arena Net, taking multiple steps back yet again. It's stuff like this that makes questions like "will you buy the next expansion?" have such a big divide nowadays when people used to happily say yes immediately.

Worse part is that ANet has said NOTHING about this. They acted very quickly to fire an insane social justice berserker for insulting people on twitter, but this, something that affects everyone since they had to deal with an already sketchy app, gets NOTHING? They have the guts to advertise this for everyone, only to then backtrack and say it was U.S only?
