Jojo.6140 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 So in september you can link a fb-account with their app, get the heroic edition key and activate it on a f2p-account and then you have basically a free alt-account for daily login rewards? Sounds good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that's a Mini Mystical Dragon in front of a player, who I think is wearing the Falconer's coat (human tier 2), but I'm not sure. The fact that each article I've seen is using a different image and none of them seem to be a new outfit is the main thing which makes me think it's not a new one. Otherwise I'm sure Anet would have provided pictures of it to go with the promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been fond of dribbling leaks to game-news sites before, but we'll have to wait a few days for the official unveiling, probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haleydawn.3764 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Hopefully this will *only* require DLing the app and logging into it via a social media connection. Otherwise, if not, that’s incredibly unfair to the global player base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cragga the Eighty Third.60 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 The blurb does say you get the codes by linking to the app, so that's hopeful. It does not say an exclusive outfit. Maybe it will offer an outfit voucher rather than something specific, that would be sweet. There's a Kung Fu Tea in my state, whoa! Three hour drive, though, not going that far for a drink. Even though I always kind of wanted to try bubble tea. Seems like a cool way for two companies to advertise each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 The main prize is a _Heroic_ copy of the game (all expansions). That automatically comes with a special outfit. In addition, there seems to be some additional outfit. What's unclear is whether that outfit will (or won't) be available through any other methods. PS this isn't at all new. ANet's given away stuff before at conventions that couldn't be otherwise obtained in game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 This begs the question: why rebrand an existing drink? What about...

I got all excited thinking about how they could have pulled it off (I'm thinking jelly...jello in America, or maybe sugar crystals for a smaller cake) and then I find they didn't, they just cut a square slab of rock. Considering branded plants tend to be poisonous (or venomous since I'm sure some will attack) I'm not sure I'd want to eat a branded cake, but it would look pretty. I agree though, an original product would be more interesting. My vote would be a dragonfruit smoothie. I've never seen it sold but I've made them at home and they're really nice. Not sure about tea, although I can imagine dragonfruit and green tea working well, maybe chilled rather than hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Oh, it's boba (tea/fruit drinks). We have that everywhere here (except it's called boba, not 'bubble'). I like it well enough, though not enough to go out of my way to get it. It seems amazing they are giving away Core (Heroic) copies of the game just for this. I thought it was just a code for the goodies that come with the old Heroic upgrade. Hope we don't get a rash of RMT spam. Also hope we get more information soon.

Fraghound.5730 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Dang, I've never even heard of kung fu tea until now. I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere. Nearest place is like 6+ hours away from me. No way in hell I'm going that far just for a drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenstone.6891 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I am not sure what bubble tea is, but fortunately it is about 3 miles away from me. I will check it out, just for kicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foozlesprite.8051 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 As someone that worked at a PR/advertising firm for a while, I get the need/desire to cross-market. But even if you _don't_ take overseas players into account, the number of stores this franchise has is ridiculously low. I'd have to travel hours out-of-state to get to one.

ANet's given away stuff before at conventions that couldn't be otherwise obtained in game. I believe the 'Grand' prize is a _Deluxe_ version of the game including both expansions. The _Heroic_ edition of the game is a semi-deluxe (no longer purchasable) version of the Core game. Again, it's not really clear if it is a code to download Core GW2 (Heroic Edition), or a code to acquire those extra Heroic Edition items. After reading several articles about the promotion, I'm pretty positive it is just a code for the 'Heroic Edition' bundle of items. Not a free Core game code.

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Do be aware: You only have to visit a store if you want to enter the drawing for a Deluxe bundle of the game.

Not a free Core game code. I believe that. The various articles I read seemed to paraphrase a press release rather than quoting verbatim, and something was (sometimes) lost in translation.
