Jeroen H.5309 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Hey Arenanet, Thanks for the update of WvW regarding the grandmaster shards. Unfortunatly this week I allready recieved my Bronze,Silver and Gold chest as most people in WvW. Will we be able to recieve these shards still seeing we lost out on those :)? Thanks in advance!

Dawdler.8521 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I am *fairly* sure there will be more weeks in the future. Not 100% sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Pj.2193 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Considering they weren't available, you didn't lose out on anything. :grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonSeed.3528 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 They won't give them, it is the same case when people missed out when the tickets were increased mid week on the chests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Pj.2193 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 They do patches on Tuesdays with game updates. Have for many moons. When they have done ANY patch on Fridays, the WvW community revolts because of reset. Game bugs are fixed on the fly. Otherwise: Tuesdays is what it is.

Eloc Freidon.5692 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 So don't play WvW until Tuesdays. Got it. There needs to be less players in that mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eloc Freidon.5692 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 People complain about WvW not getting enough attention but are fine when new players feel burned. You must not know what a death knell is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must not know what a death knell is. Burned? How do? As a new player, you are not burned for this any more than an old player. In fact, a higher ranked (platinum or above rank) player is more likely to have progressed past those three chests than a new player. We also missed out on skirmish tickets when they were added, and when they increased the number, as both are time gated each week, and were added mid week. All game patches happen mid week. If you completed the three chests, you missed out on 30% of One mark. And less than 2% of what is required for legendary precursor armor. I'll take it.

Eloc Freidon.5692 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Your argument is invalid for previous weeks because it wasn't implemented in the middle of a rotation. You're not helping in keeping newer players who want to put the time and dedication into wanting to stay. Why are you insistent on letting Anet get away with not respecting people's time?

DemonSeed.3528 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Well if you can change their mind that would be nice to see. Could you also get them to change their mind about some stuff they did in the deadeye rework? XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunkamania.7561 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Yet again the hardcore players get burnt and the casuals get rewarded. Arenanet loves their casuals. Since all the devs are casual it make sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not helping in keeping newer players who want to put the time and dedication into wanting to stay. Why are you insistent on letting Anet get away with not respecting people's time? This always happens when Anet releases a patch. WvW is not unique in this. I remember when some item for a legendary collection dropped on your first pve raid boss kill for the week and many people who do pve raids had to wait until the next raid reset on a Monday to get that item while other who didn't raid right at reset got their drop that night after the patch. The complaints were the same but lots of people still do pve raids, don't they? They did the same when they increased the amount of WvW tickets that drop from chests as well. Lots of people who already reached Diamond chest didn't get the increased ticket amount until after reset. Ultimately it doesn't really matter because you still get the items later.

You're not helping in keeping newer players who want to put the time and dedication into wanting to stay. Why are you insistent on letting Anet get away with not respecting people's time? So.., instead it needs to be implemented when? On reset for EU? And the NA players that are still playing miss out for the week they are in. Add to that the players get kicked out of queues maps to patch. Or, donut reset for NA, which will hit the EU players who are through the bronze and silver chests.. Or again, get kicked out of WvW. My argument isn't invalid as it was stated there is no good time. Find me a time and I'll poke holes in it. Again, I welcome this change and I also know my dedication to the mode hurt my ability to get the chests this week. Oh well. Life goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Pj.2193 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Took me a while to think of this also: when people have all their marks, we are going to see threads about 'can we sell marks to players', 'give me a merchant', 'I want gold instead'. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rysdude.3824 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Im glad WvW is getting some love. Ive completed my pips but im happy that those who havent will get their shards. A good step in the right direction Anet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shagaliscious.6281 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Honestly if I knew this change was coming, I would have not played so much so I could've gotten all 3 shards this week. As it stands I got none this week. Still a nice addition, now I might actually make heavy legendary armor. Still, a heads up would've been nice.

Maybe... and three quarters of the population wouldn't have played. :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
