It only wanted to show the drink reward though so hopefully the GW2 rewards will be there tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So? It's just a big mess. People are even trying to sell the codes. Many have duplicates. People have been allegedly banned. The way for them to look best right now, and devalue any codes being sold, whilst keeping the disgruntled population happy, is just to gift us the outfit if we login by September 30th.

You might have to have reached 2 star rank on the forum before you can send a PM. I can't remember though. You probably just need a few more posts to reach 2 stars. I think the requirement is at least a week since first forum use and 5 comments for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, they constantly doing it during events, where they only care about NA. So nothing new there. But still. You should check the Kung Fu Tea website really.

Trise.2865 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 If anything Kung-Fu Tea or the ad agency that made the crappy app should give us something. All ANet did was give a code algorithm and collect a paycheck. Also, does this really need a new thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's as much ANets faults as it is KFTs fault. ...and that people expect that ANet makes some clear statements is reasonable since there are people being banned by using these keys.

Currently disabled. I guess that's the only reason you were able to connect via anything in the first place. The rewards have been disabled, so the flood of new connections has subsided.

I haven't had time to check so I'm not sure, but if there's no rewards at all you definitely need to keep refreshing it until they show up. Yeah, so far today, the reward for the outfit doesn't show up. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, 1/3rd tea, 2/3rd milk, and then 2 *tablespoons* of sugar. Then they add tapioca balls, also called boba, which coined the name 'boba tea'. Shortly after the social media 'promoters' got interested someone twisted the name to 'bubble' tea and it stuck. tapioca? ugh, can not imagine it mixed with anything, it is basically cassava flour.

The Outfit and Heroic Edition bundle is available online with social media. Yeah but, try and get the shirt. It has been days and I have not got the code. Kung Fu Tea had no clue how to do this and it is just making your players upset. Come on Anet, just accept this promotion was a fail and give us the shirts. > @"juhani.5361" said: > Downloaded the Android app, logged in with Facebook, was told I had "Social Rewards."

You have that wrong Juhani It is not Play Store it is Kung Fu Tea. They have no clue what is going on or how to code an app. If you read their blog they have a list of excuses. this promotion is the worst. Anet should just give the tee shirts and move on.

sorudo.9054 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 i already have the dragon outfit but the heroic pack allows me to choose the last of the three armor skins, but alas, US exclusive yet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to install the app and link it to a social network profile for those, if and when it works again. It appears it isn't working at all right now so check back later to see if they get it fixed. ~~ ~~The US exclusive is for the sweepstakes for Deluxe game codes, requires a purchase of the beverage, and posting it on social media for a chance to win a code.~~ A lot of the time sweepstakes like these are limited to certain regions due to laws in other countries that make it difficult for the company to offer them on a global scale. On a side note, it appears if your game was already upgraded to Heroic at some point either through original purchase when it was offered for sale or from the time the beta test people got automatically upgraded to the Heroic SKU all you will get for the code is 4000 favor. Edit: It appears there was some confusion with how the promotion was communicated and both promotions were actually intended for US residents only.

Yeah, sorry about that. My app bugged out and I also received multiple codes, like some other people did. I was going to give them away to players who wanted the items, but sadly the codes are now all gone from my mailbox. I should have taken screenshots, it breaks my heart seeing all these sad players :( I hope Arenanet compensates by giving everyone who didn't get codes the outfit for free.

Warkind.6745 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I hit up Kung Fu Tea while visiting family, and they had banners/signage posted for just about everything except a Guild Wars 2 themed tea. And then it turned out to be a drink that was already on their menu, just with a different name. I haven't tried getting any of the in game rewards, but as far as the tea goes this promo feels a little hollow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
