BlueJin.4127 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 How long will these Black Lion Voucher Dealer NPC’s be in the game? It would suck to buy a lot of vouchers and save some for later, only to have these NPC’s disappear, making the vouchers useless since the NPC’s are gone. Before I can decide how many vouchers to buy, it’s really important to know if these NPC’s will disappear, and if so, when they’ll disappear.

Sariel.2143 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 They wont dissapear . Tho I dont think the vouchers will stay in the bltc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renoaku.4189 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 ^ Title? How long is the "Black Lion Vault going to be around with the ability to buy tickets from the in game store?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artemis.6781 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 There's no time listed so I'm assuming a couple of weeks? Usually, if it's shorter it will read available for X days. Best advice is to keep an eye on the gem store. Sorry, I have nothing more to offer. But that's my best guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Lion Tickets and scraps are from Black Lion Chests RNG usually we see anet updates whenever there's a new set release or festival with weapon like Halloween.

Lambent.6375 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Those Vouchers are for the 600 gem weapons that were for purchase on the gem store, not Black Lion Ticket weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haishao.6851 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I think they're a good idea for older items that rarely, or never come back. It also make some awesome gifts since the person you gift it to can pick what they want. Hopefully they stay there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just a flesh wound.3589 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Even events from long ago with special map currency still have their vendor. I don’t think ANet is going to remove a real money making vendor anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArenaNet Staff Gaile Gray.6029 Posted August 22, 2018 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted August 22, 2018 You know, I'm not sure how long the Voucher Dealers will be in place. Let me see if I can get an answer about that tomorrow (during office hours) and if I do, I'll be sure to post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Since they added the NPCs to (some) VIP lounges, I would bet they are permanent. It would be unlikely to bother adding an NPC to a lounge, just to remove it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me see if I can get an answer about that tomorrow (during office hours) and if I do, I'll be sure to post it. I would greatly appreciate a fast response. I want to purchase the 10-pack BL Outfit Ticket because that’s the price I consider reasonable for outfits, but there are only 3 outfits I’m definitely getting and 3 I’m probably getting. That leaves me 4 tickets that I may not use for months. I’m assuming that new outfits won’t be tradeable with these tickets (no Timekeeper, for example) so it may even be years before I use the remaining 4 tickets.

Bulk discounts are appreciated for those that are trying to collect/unlock a lot of these skins. You can preview what's available at the vendor to confirm if newer skins aren't included (quite sure that they aren't). I would expect some rotation over time, similar to the statuette vendor, and that the vendors will be a permanent fixture. The availability of the vouchers may be on a rotation, but it's worth noting that this will effectively make it unnecessary to rotate these skins through the BLTC, since they can rotate at the vendor. This is less storefront work and clutter, so it's entirely possible that these vouchers will be available more frequently and/or for longer periods of time. It's also possible that single vouchers could be added as an uncommon or rare drop from BLC's. @"Gaile Gray.6029", I look forward to hearing back on the plan for these vouchers/vendors. Many thanks!

I'm an outfit hog and would like to get the 10-pack of vouchers but only want to buy about 5 outfits right now. Would love it if this BL Voucher Vendor would be around permanently, but then again that seems hard to imagine, as it would cut into regular Gem Shop sales. p.s. For anyone outfit shopping, the Wedding Attire is usually 1000 gems, so getting it with a BLV is an even better deal. I love how it looks so different for each race.

ArenaNet Staff Gaile Gray.6029 Posted August 22, 2018 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted August 22, 2018 The Black Lion Voucher Dealer is in Lion’s Arch to help players would have not made a purchase yet and would like to see what’s being offered before doing so. Naturally, anyone who purchased a voucher would be able to see the options in the normal preview system on their hero panel. The vouchers—part of our Guild Wars 2 anniversary sales—will be available until September 4th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueJin.4127 Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 My question is regarding the ability to “trade the Vouchers,” not the ability to “purchase the Vouchers.” I know “purchasing Vouchers” is a limited time offer. However, if I stock up on Vouchers now and save the Vouchers to use later (say, 3 months from now), will the Voucher Dealers remain in the game so I can use my Vouchers in the future? Or will the Dealers be removed soon, meaning it’s pointless to stock up on Vouchers for later use, since they’ll be useless if the Voucher Dealers are removed. Basically, we don’t want to buy 10 Vouchers, save half for later, and have the Vouchers “expire” on us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I understand there are two questions: duration of the voucher availability and how long the vendors will be in place. I had the one answer and will post the other when I get it.

Witch of Doom.5739 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 A concern could be that most players (afaik) do not read these forums. If they buy vouchers, save some or all of them for later, and then can't use them, I see all kinds of choya rage. Seems like the vouchers should be sold with a notice that vendors will only be around until _________, if that is indeed the case. I hope the vendors are permanent and that ANet can put a rotating selection of older outfits, gliders, and other skins there. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
