Even a special armour set! Very nice!

MANY MANY thx Anet for the great 6th birthday!!!!!! AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY to all the 3 day head starters as well!!!! EAT lotsa cake :D

Nom Nom enjoys the cake guess will need to check in tonight to see what all was handed out :>

I found it to be not as exciting as I was hoping it would be. But at least you get actual armour skins instead of yet another outfit. Not that any of them interest me.

Oh is it today?

Better log in then!

edit: very happy with the rewards, Happy Birthday GW2!

Thank you, ArenaNet, for the very generous 6th Anniversary/Birthday gifts. :heart:

When I came back to the game I ALMOST deleted my very first character... the other 4 got axed and I still regret that decision immensely

Yeah, I started 3 years ago, after GW2 got F2P.I was like 'Might give it a try.' and still regret that I didn't start earlier as imo, GW2 did everything better than GW1.But that's just my experience... surely I sucked big time at GW1.

Congrats! I loved the light armor set-- complete with pants =)

I still have about three? four? years before I can get mine...

Thank you for the presents ANet. Getting some really nice dyes, skins and useful items. Best birthday yet.

I'm looking forward to seeing it all when I get home.

I'm already wondering which armour set I should pick. Technically it should be medium since it's my thief who gets the first gift, and my engineer is very close behind. But it depends what they look like.

Can someone detail what is in the present?

It was definitely a good year this year. The armor set is a nice addition, and getting my third and fourth luminous weapons gives me a full set for a character - and the sword is beautiful. The Rata Sum backpack was the third of the three I really wanted (to go with the Citadel and Grove backpacks). I quit buying the gem store dyes, so I can use the dyes this year for the first time, which still seems like an odd system. I have 401 Teleport to Friends and 120 Birthday Boosters now so I can pretty much go wherever i want whenever I want and get good rewards doing it. :)

I have two characters left from my first five. I can't say I really regret having deleted the others, since I really like the characters I replaced them with. But I'll be waiting into September for my next three gifts.

Any screenies of the sets out yet...?

Spoiler tagged for those wanting to discover themselves

! A choice of heavy, medium or light armour to match the weapons, another 2 weapon choices from last year, another backpack choice. Those are the once per account. Otherwise per character - a new dye choice which includes selections not previously put in the birthday package, a guaranteed wardrobe (rare tier) unlock, a black lion statuette and the usual boosts

I haven't logged in yet but will have two characters celebrating their 6th birthday today. THANK YOU, ANet!!!

Edit: oooooOOOOOoooo I really like the heavy helmet with the poofball tail and visor...!

Is the light set on the left, medium in the middle and heavy on the right? I assume so, since that's the order they're listed in but I couldn't see anything on the pictures to say which is which and apart from the heavy set they look fairly interchangable to me.

Not sure why the female heavy set needs a tea towel tucked into the belt, but other than that they look nice. I'll have to wait and see them on my characters before choosing one though as most of mine aren't human and I assume they look different on other races (especially charr and asura).
