Ashantara.8731 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 A truly small selection most veteran's will likely already have unlocked - I can't be the only one? :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't buy skins unless I am going to use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could use wardrobe unlocks for days you still will not have all the skins that are offered in that voucher, the only way a veteran would have all those skins is is they have really gone out of their way to get them.

Taygus.4571 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 We're lucky they gave anything free at all. They didn't have to. It's nice that they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, I am just a bit disappointed with the limited selection. If you intend to thank someone for supporting you financially, you might want to come up with something more exciting than some old skins?

Tukaram.8256 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Looks like a long list of choices - I will have to see what they are on the wiki I guess. Should be a preview... Oh well it is free. No worries. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone who bought HoT before August 30th got it. So in this case "veteran" means "someone who bought HoT when it still cost money" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I fear the OP's phrasing has confused the issue raised. The OP didn't receive the same bonus as others did, even though the OP likely spent more real money. I think it's reasonable to ask ANet if they took this into account or not. **** ANet offered a "gift" to players as a thank you for having spent real money on Heart of Thorns back in the day. The so-called "Heart of Thorns Veteran’s Package" includes three things of value: * A Title (which might or might not be "valuable" to everyone) * An exclusive glider skin (assuming it isn't eventually added to a wardrobe unlock) * A choice of items exclusive to the Gem Shop or various contests, that can also be obtained via a Guaranteed Wardrobe Unlock. Unfortunately, for those who spent a lot on gems (and especially on BL keys), that last item has no value because they already have all the skins unlocked. I think it's a fair question to ask if ANet realized this might happen. I think it would be fair for ANet to decide that the title and glider skin are sufficient, and I hope that the OP (and others) would be able to see that. I also think it would have been better if ANet had thought this through ahead of time and either explicitly said, "sorry, we can't offer a third item for some people" or (better imo) arranged for some token substitute. After all, the entire point of the "Veteran's Package" is to recognize veterans for sticking with the game so long and skimping on one third of the "recognition" _feels_ like a lack of recognition.

Slow rollout, yes. The script has to process millions of accounts (is eligible? yes, check for this and that, create package, attach to mail, send mail). I imagine that could choke up the entire email system (which has never been all that robust in the first place). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
