Kronicle.4652 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I wrote a quick guide on how I managed to get the rewards. Hopefully it can help some of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AkiMakura.6754 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 So has anyone been able to get a code or something to work within the last couple hours? I've been refreshing and re-logging into my app a couple times throughout the day, but no luck at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the app causing the issue. I tried prob 50 times late morning before it worked. It's actually super easy to do, if the app would cooperate.

Izzykins.8624 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Here's the thing for me; I CAN actually log in. I can enter my login info for Instagram, but there's no way I can see for the app to retain it. My only options once logged in are to hit the "back" button where it says connect instagram. This seems to log me back out. The other thing I see is I can log in USING my facebook info just fine. This also "flips" the Facebook toggle on the social media accounts page, indicating it recognizes the link. Has anyone else run into the app not retaining (yes, allowing but not saving) the link? Or the bug where the only option after connecting IG is to reverse and log out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And shows a green check next to your profile to show you're connected. Than you need to go back to social rewards and keep doing it till gw2 pops up (mine would say no rewards first few times) but kept trying and eventually rewards popped up.

It will show on the app under profile when you are. It was buggy for me, i won't lie. 50 or more tries wouldnt connected to social media, than finally it did, 5 more tries or so for rewards to show. Gw2 finally did, rejected first try, got it second time. I can only imagine some people's pain that been trying all day. I was surprised it worked for me at all. It's one of those things, ok got past stage 1, crap got 2 more to make it through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Fat Doba.1267 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Anyone else just wondering how badly this is going to slam the economy? It looks like a well intentioned but poorly thought out marketing stunt at this point. How many accounts are botter/gold sellers going to get out of this over a month? Thousands? Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people are doing this over and over to amass alt accounts. Well, I'm only interested in the outfit for my main account. I have one alt account, and it's hard enough to keep up with two accounts. I'm also a northern neighbour with questionable dairy practices, or so I've been told. I don't believe I qualify for any substantial prizes. It saddens me that there are those that are able to and willing to take advantage of a promotion like this to stockpile alt accounts. The worst part is the potential to deny legitimate users from getting a code. I hope something is done to at least ensure that first time players get the Core Heroic Edition.

If it fails, use the top menu button (top left of tea app) and hit social rewards and then profile and connect a account (this failed for me many times, but eventually worked). Once connected (you'll see your fb pic for instance in the profile under the tea app), go under rewards (social rewards again) gw2 should pop up. Click it and you will get a message under the social rewards/profile on the tea app. Takes a little but you'll get it. The outfit code is used in game under the gem store item redeem.It took me a a hour or so this morning, but it does work and have been enjoying the new outfit! > > > > > > Great so now I have to join Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram? Why is this necessary in any way to get a code from an app about drinks? > > You know I can't answer that, nor can i argue your logic, i agree with you in the end. It is what it is though. It's not hard to make a fb twitter account if you really want the items. Can delete the profile after you get the items i'd imagine. Plus isn't the redeemable period longer than one day? If that is in fact the case than there is still time. Imo if you want the herotic or dragon shirt outfit (which prob wont be available for some time again) might be worth taking 10 mins to setup a account. Yeah I suppose so, just wish they’d cut out the hassle of social media stuff. Anyway thanks for taking the time to answer my questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone can do it, I've never even heard of that company. But just doing the link with your account gets you the outfit, bag, and boosters. Looks legit to me, if there are country restrictions that has to do with trade agreements and Anet isn't in control of that. > > > > > > Anyone who has such social media accounts. I don't have them and I don't live in the US. Sure, I could create trash accounts but I guess this is not how it should be. Promotions which could exclude a big number of customers are never a good thing. Some maybe don't want to link their accounts to a company they never heard of and they never will buy any product of becuase it's not even in their country. Like others said in this discussion: A company with more reach and international presence, for well, an international product (and that's what Guild Wars 2 is as you can play it from nearly all over the world), would a have been a better choice. > > > > Any promotion, "could exclude a big number of customers." > > > > Does that mean that companies should never have promotions? > > Well, depends on the dimension of big. If big could mean for example the entirety of Europe (there is no store in Europe and you can't enter the give away for GW2 Deluxe Edition, this is only limited to stores in the US besides them having stores in the US, Kanada, Australia and Vietnam). As others said here, the online giveaway doesn't seem to work... so, this shouldn't happen. IMO this is an example of a promotion that doesn't work in the favor of GW2. The dimension of big, in most cases, seems to depend on whether or not the person complaining is included in the group. Ultimately no one is losing anything. No players are suddenly getting less than they paid for so a promo that, potentially, makes a few players happy seems harmless to me. I do agree that it seems unlikely to do much for GW2 or Anet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mea.5491 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 After many hours of trying, I finally got the codes with Bluestacks, free mobile app emulator for PC because my phone is old and my Android version is not compatible with this app lol. So anyone without a proper smartphone should get Bluestacks but patience is required to actually get the codes. Good luck! :)  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrizzFreston.5290 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Big online game promotes relatively local tea chain.

Myrdreth.6829 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Finally it worked. That was a really frustrating experience, please don't do that again, Anet.
