Khailyn.6248 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 During the stream, we’ll give away some codes for an Ascended Aurene Clothing Outfit so your characters can stay cool and look stylish through the end of summer.https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/dont-miss-our-special-announcement-event/All I can say is, way to screw over those that have to be at work during the stream. I like to catch a stream when I can but it sucks to miss a giveaway just because we have obligations outside of gaming. The only way this could work is if the code isnt limited in supply but rather limited to a time based window, but I doubt it'll work that way.

Aaralyna.3104 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 "Give away some codes", its probaly a 1st come 1st serve thing that you will never be able to get. I don't even know at what time this event would be in German/Dutch time... if its same as patch times then its at dinner time here.... Why can't Anet just give out a free outfit to anybody that logs in on the 30th and has the PoF expansion or something? Then it would surely be more fair for everyone... Regardless of internet connection speed, job or not and time zone wise.It just feels Bubble tea allover.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante.1763 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Kinda sucks ill be in the middle of the OCEAN and not have internet for the time period between now and through the first half of September..why not just give it out to people who login during the episode? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frostfang.5109 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 What time is this giveaway/livestream in Sweden? And yes, I agree, why not make it a bit more fair to more ppl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoosh.2718 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 The only way I'll like this outfit is if its Aurene's head on your head like a trophy kill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I mean, it's not the worst time in the world if you exclude personal circumstance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, I'd like to have faith that Anet didn't choose the time by throwing darts at a dartboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoseofGilead.8907 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 They're giving away "some" codes via the stream. That doesn't mean that everyone who attends the stream event will get one. Even if they had the stream at a time convenient for you, there is absolutely no guarantee you'd be one of the ones who got a code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrilana.1396 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I’ll be joining on my smart phone so I suggest everyone else do the same if they’re able to. It’s just one outfit which people will likely wear en mass for the next week before they get bored and move on to the next flashing thing. No different from the T-Shirt outfit or anything else to be honest. There’s even a good chance it’ll be made available later at some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugo.4705 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Agree, would be far better to give outfit in game for everyone logged the 30th august!Many peoples will not have it due to:-Very bad internet connction-Working due to their jobs-The very limited supply of codes-Wrong timing and conversions missing the stream-Not having money to travel to AmericaPlease really consider of giving it in game.

I think thats a bit different, Those tshirts are usually for sale and the lucky few who get them get them for free. Theres really no idea behind this if its going to be available to buy or not at all, and thats my issue. If its only given out during the stream, and never sold? Why? Its a digital item, they could send one to -everyone- and not even be impacted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crab Fear.1624 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I would give it way to anyone who showed up and to anyone who made a comment on the posted YT video. I figure this ain't the time to make things exclusive if they are free.You want as much traffic to this stream and your channel as possible.You have plenty of players who won't even have a chance to watch it live.You are a worldwide game, please consider how this affects many people.Give a t-shirt or a sticker to the people who show up IRL.

Now its just a common item that everyone gets simply because they logged in one day. God forbid the game have limited edition items in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about the game.It might affect how they feel about Anet.This is a lottery item. It doesn't show that you were there during a time period or for a special event. If you get it, you are just lucky.For this kind of item, non farmable, or buy/sell, I can not agree with it.Sure I can't change their minds, but I think it is a bad move.This is one more negative I have for Anet.My real life goes on.

Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 There are only ever two options:Everyone gets an item, in which case a lot of people don't value it, because, well, everyone has it.Only some people get it, which means anyone disappointment for those who covet the item and don't fall into the lucky winner category.I wish people would be okay with the idea that the game is going to have some items that we simply won't ever get... and even more items that we might get, just not right away. For me, the game is more interesting to include unlocks depending on something other than perseverance or how much I'm willing to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 It’s almost certainly an advance code for something they’ll sell in the gemstore anyway. Nothing really to fuss over even if I’m wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danikat.8537 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 It would help if they had an image of the outfit. I can't watch the stream because of the timing, but I could probably have it running on my phone, but without knowing what the outfit looks like I don't know if it's worth the hassle of doing that.@"Illconceived Was Na.9781" said:There are only ever two options:Everyone gets an item, in which case a lot of people don't value it, because, well, everyone has it.Only some people get it, which means anyone disappointment for those who covet the item and don't fall into the lucky winner category.I wish people would be okay with the idea that the game is going to have some items that we simply won't ever get... and even more items that we might get, just not right away. For me, the game is more interesting to include unlocks depending on something other than perseverance or how much I'm willing to spend.I'm the opposite. I don't care how common or easy to get an item is. Whether I like it and like using it depends entirely on what it is, so I'd prefer everyone who wants it to be able to get it than have it randomly restricted to a "lucky" subset of those who can be available at a designated time. It doesn't have to be easy to get, just not given out if a way which makes it literally impossible for some people to participate or which guarantees some of those who want it won't get one no matter what they do because it's random and restricted only to a few.Of course we don't know yet that this outfit won't be available another way. It might appear in the gem store later on, or be given out in various other ways which make it more widely available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
