GuriGashi.5617 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) I am talking about the usual titles we get with our birthdays like Long-Term Commitment. I believe playing & supporting the game for 10 years should also also be rewarded with something special - how about a title similar to the Extra Life one just with the typical red Guild Wars 2 color instead of blue. I personally would very much appreciate it, it would indicate who was a day 1 supporter and it would be something to work towards for newer players by keep playing the game. The special enrichment we got for our 9th present was awesome, I hope we can follow up with something just as great for the 10th one Edited May 2, 2022 by GuriGashi.5617 18 1 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xelqypla.6817 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I never liked exclusive stuff. "Hey, how do you get that?" "Wait 10 years." Although it would be amusing to run around with the title "Geriatric" in red. 17 1 24 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be just a title. It would have the same prestige/value (or lack thereof) as the Counter-Strike Veteran Coin -- just something to put on display in order to show off. 6 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean what you say is very much objective - fact is ArenaNet will probably add something exclusive to the 10th Birthday present and it will for sure contain a title. Making it red to honor 10 years of support for the game doesn‘t seem like the most unfair or demanding request in the world to me.

"It's only a..." can be used for anything since it's only a game. 17 minutes ago, GuriGashi.5617 said: I mean what you say is very much objective - fact is ArenaNet will probably add something exclusive to the 10th Birthday present and it will for sure contain a title like every year whether you like it or not.

The birthday gifts have had plenty of exclusives so far and I fully expect more exclusive stuff in the 10th. I just hope they keep it to a minimum. 5 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holykitten.3064 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) I'd like it to be something quirky this year. Maybe like a Birthday Suit Combat Tonic, with leaves to cover woohoo's. 😂 Edited May 2, 2022 by Haleydawn.3764 1 1 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witch of Doom.5739 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Since the old-fashioned traditional gift for a 10th anniversary was something made of tin, I propose a Tin Hat like the Tin Man's in The Wizard of Oz.

Luci.7018 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) Edit: An armor for new and old players Where if you "sacrifice" x30 Green armor that has berserk stats , then permanently the armor can gain Green-bersek stats (but has also AR sockets) . For the first 5 years it can only get up to Exotic Stats Edit2: also each year , the set is evolved like Dragonball Edited May 2, 2022 by Luci.7018 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizel.8175 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I'm not really fond of these birthday presents - mainly because exclusive cosmetic items are gated behind them. I'd really love to have Bubblegum for the pink class e.g., but nope... I have to settle with a rather weak alternative in Electro Pink. I also don't like the "supporting and playing the game for 10 years" argument. The rewards are tied to the date of character creation. That in itself has nothing to do with stuff like support or commitment. You can literally quit for 10 years after creating your account and still get these presents. I'd rather have decent ingame birthday events in which you can actively play for rewards. I don't really like ANets marketing in general. Their haphazard way of using FOMO and substantial cosmetic rewards in obscure events is simply disappointing. Does anyone remember the clownfiesta with Kung Fu Tea? I never understood why letting people on ebay have fun with RMT by selling game codes for cosmetic items instead of enabling people to play for these items ingame. 4 1 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The T-Shirt outfit from Kung Fu Tea is a "substantial cosmetic reward?" Haven't they been giving that away in different versions for years now? 13 minutes ago, lezbefriends.7516 said: GW2 is horrible with rewards, doubt we'll get anything special. Yes, because free stuff is always horrible. I hate that Anet gives away armor skins, dyes like permafrost, statuettes, etc etc. 🙄 1 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also broad consensus that "fashion wars" is a major part of endgame content. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
