I'm not so annoyed by the time gating as I am by the mount being locked behind certain events in the personal story. If you don't complete the achievement perfectly you have to start completely over, not just with that part of the story but with the entire thing."Salt on the Wound" requires lightning reflexes (or at least faster than mine). There's no counter to let you know how many you've gotten/need to finish for the achievement."Dexterous Dodger" You have to complete the event without triggering a single trap. Considering the environment and traps are the same color it can be difficult to differentiate. I also didn't realize this achievement was part of the Skyscale process until after completing the personal story. Now I get to do it all over again. The really bad part is the achievements needed are at the very beginning and end of the story, (there are middle sections that aren't part of the achievements, so they're redundant) and as mentioned before you cannot simply replay individual sections., you have to do the whole KITTEN thing again! What in the actual kitten were you thinking?Then there's the Meta achievement. Not everyone has a high performance PC and even with the settings turned down it can be really difficult (because of latency) to complete certain events. It becomes a forced grind.I'm not too keen on the "Dragon Stand 2" type of meta where you get kicked out after a certain amount of time. Just bring the brand shielding back up. Give people not currently doing the meta time enough to search for Skyscale scales, eggs, or just explore. On my server (Sanctum of Rall) people barely played Dragons Stand. I would have thought Anet would have learned from that fiasco. Then again maybe they did but they were the ones laid off recently because their input wasn't popular. I dunno, this seems like a very poorly developed expansion. The story was "meh." It was exactly what I expected it to be, no surprises at all. I wonder did you have Rian Johnson (directer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi) write this story? It's pretty bad. It's very predictable.I've been playing your games since Guild Wars: Prophecies and this recent release has me longing for the old days.I think I'll take a few days off from Guild Wars 2.That's all I have to say.Edit:I was mistaken about having to start the Personal Story over from the beginning. As long as you redo it on a character that's completed the entire story you can start from a checkpoint when re-entering the story from Lion's Arch.

That's odd. I belong to multiple guilds and I can harvest from all their nodes. What I do is I harvest from one guild and while still in that first guild hall, I go to my guild panel, select the next guild, then click the title (beside the box I checked), then select "Guild Hall" on the right hand side. Rinse, repeat. Works just fine. If you don't click the name of the guild hall after checking the box then the new nodes won't show up.

Hmm still no reply from Arenanet on these forums. I'm in the same time zone as Arenanet HQ and it's currently 4:17 Pm with no reply. Gail Grey would have responded by now, several times.

If this has taught me anything it's that Arenanet really doesn't know what they're doing when it comes to these promos. This is what , the third time this has happened? I didn't even know about this promotion until someone on my server tried to sell the code for the Dragon T-shirt and another player responded by saying anyone could get it by going to the Arenanet website and following the instructions (which took a bit of doing since the information is somewhat buried). I was a little perplexed that I hadn't received an email from Arenanet (despite being signed up for news/updates). I'm not really concerned about my personal information being sold, heck Facebook and every other social media platform does this, so why not Arenanet (via Alienware) too?I am (more than anything) annoyed at the lack of response from Arenanet on this issue. The generic "we're looking into this" just doesn't cut it.Some of the things Arenanet has been doing lately seems out of character. As if someone else is suddenly running the finance department. Consider that Black Lion chests now offer a claim ticket scrap and a mini (which I consider to be a junk item), not to mention receiving actual junk items in BL chests a few months ago. Who thought that was a good idea? I'm rather unhappy with a mini and a scrap ticket being a guaranteed drop item. I guess some people like minis, but I see them as a worthless item. If I buy or earn a BL key I would hope my effort is rewarded with something useful but lately it just seems to be trash items. Kinda like this promo. Arenanet gives the promise of a worthwhile item but it ends up being a trash item worth nothing at all.I've been playing this game since GW1 Prophecies. I expected better from Arenanet. I'm concerned about the layoffs that occurred. I'm wondering if the same thing is going to happen here that happened to Rift (Trion). I miss Gaille Grey. I would be willing to pay a subscription fee to have her back at the helm on these forums.

Here's the link the to the main webpage. The URL shows North America, yet the give away is for an egg, not the Dragon T-Shirt. https://na.alienwarearena.com/ucf/Giveaway

Make sure you're typing the code in the second small box under the main "Gem Store" box. They're easily confused. It's essentially the small link under the larger one.

Registered with the site, did the activation. I was given a code for an egg. I live in Arizona., I'd rather have the Dragon T-Shirt. Read through all the comments, there's no Dragon T-shirt redemption code as far as I can tell, only the egg which I don't care for.

I'm fairly certain that none of the Living Story maps are required for World Completion, this includes Dry Top and the Silverwastes. Only Old World Tyria before the release of HoT is required. I found an old post that may help you fix your dilemma. https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/1wyy9k/ever_struggled_to_find_that_last_poi_on_the_map/
