What happened to the anniversary sale?


Recommended Posts

I find it odd that there isn't much to buy in a game that is supported by a cash shop. I've been looking forward to the Anniversary Sale but this one seems like even the devs aren't excited about it.

 

edit: The Black Lion Voucher Dealer totally changed my opinion!

Ok guys, I do realize there has not been a new item up for sale since the 18th, and there has never been a gap before in the sales. A new item is not currently up for today. But thank you for posting lists of what happened the first week, I guess this sale is just a short one compared to other years. Some of the other sales went on for 3 weeks.

 

Edit— it seems sales are still going on.

The has been character slot in every anniversary sale and that hasnt happened yet so I doubt thats the end of the sale. Also unlike previous years there has been a few day gaps between new items. If I had to guess what are coming up next it would be character slots, bag slots, bank tab then cosmetic items.

Exactly. I'm not going to spend gems on anything else, but I sure am gonna use 'em on a character slot if it pops up. If not, I'm not spending gems, which means I'm not spending money, lol.

Excellent, thank you. I don't think that had gone up yet when I posted that. Much appreciated!

It would probably help if they put their time zone in the announcements, or a note saying something like "The gem store is updated after 9am PST which is 16:00 UTC".

 

Otherwise you have to firstly remember time zones are a factor (which if you're anything like me is easier said than done) and then find out where Anet are based and which time zone they're in.

Nice thought, but then on those occasions when they don't update until 10:15 (Heaven Forbid!) the whining begins here on the forum.

I didn't see this post and went into the game. I can confirm keys are on sale. (quiet "yay" for me. ;) )

That's why I said after 9am. 10:15 is after 9. But yeah, that might not be clear enough.
