Winter.3485 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 If you miss one week you basically are unable to complete the event achievement, it's 2023 add the previous week in the vendor tab already. It would also make sense from a material sink standpoint as well, which is what this event is all about. 14 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michalvir.8912 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 May I humbly suggest, that we have opportunity to finish Black Lion Requisition Mission Weeks 1-4 not only in their respective event windows, but also after them? That would allow players who missed week 1 or will miss next weeks finish all tiers of Black Lion Requisition Investor during this bonus event. It might even cost some gold or materials to unlock "closed week tab" at BL merchant for those, who missed its event window, but that still would be great to have it finished and not hanging forever as unfinished achievement. Just a suggestion 🙂 Wish You all the best! 13 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linken.6345 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Yea that is a good idea so it unlocks like week 1 1 week 2 1-2 week 3 1-3 week 4 all Would be nice for people who cant login regularly or start fresh at lets say week 3 invited by friends. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I agree, a lot of people won't be able to log in every single week and it's not great to miss out on the overall reward because real-life had to take precedence over a video game. Also if the point is to drain overly common materials from the game and so help balance the economy (which I assume it is) it seems logical to want to include as many people as possible. 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einsof.1457 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 The point of these is not to make players happy, it's to fix some economy issues. 1 1 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if there were a world where it could be both…. 😄 Wouldn’t giving people the option to participate across all four weeks drain even more mats that need draining? I do wonder about that silky sand, though. Edited March 8, 2023 by Gibson.4036 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making each week available in subsequent weeks lets more people spend their materials and thus lets more people partake in the economical part of the event.

That's fair point. It would allow more people to get rid of their resources and manage to get achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know who the Anet head economist is but these sort of incentives are usually supposed to shock the system and then evaluate. It's similar to how the federal reserve changes interest rates when the economy gets too hot or cold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sobx.1758 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Maybe the goal is also to additionally reward people for playing the game fairly systematically (once a week doesn't seem like a steep requirement?) instead of turning the event into "log in on 4th week and grab those rewards"? Who knows, guess we'll see soon. 🤷♂️ 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evelynn.2518 Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Hey everyone, I wish that anet should added an extra tab for previous weeks, for the people who are enterted late ingame. That they can buy it from the weeks they already have missed it, that would be so wonderfull if they can add that 6 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibson.4036 Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Is it possible they want to avoid people buying up the mats to resell them to the week 4 latecomers at profit? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People can't log in for 2 minutes to click on a vendor? Show me someone whose real life doesn't afford them 2 minutes over 7 days to log in and click on something. Using your logic, I guess they should make all the festivals be accessed at any time because hey, some may not be able to log in during the 4 weeks they take place.

People on business trips. People who are in hospital. People whose computer has broken down or get hit with a snowstorm that takes out their power and/or internet. That's just the first few which came to mind, there's all kinds of reasons someone might be unable to log into a game for a week. If you're in a different town or country to your PC it doesn't matter how much time it would take to do it if you were at home, you're not so there's no way to do do even quick tasks. 6 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I like about achievements in GW2 is that I can do them whenever I want, because there is no time gate. I'm not counting festivals, because these are different. Festivals are time gated, but their annual achievements are repeatable once per year, so I can wait if I missed them. Current bonus event prevents some players from completing its achievement only because they didn't log in in certain time. Is there any reason to do that? It's not competition like: "I'm better, because I log in regularly". 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each week in March, Black Lion Requisition Officers will accept deliveries of various raw materials and reward you with goods like boosters and Black Lion Statuettes. Help meet the demand for multiple weeks to receive greater rewards, including a Black Lion Claim Ticket—and more! https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/march-sales-schedule/ Edited March 9, 2023 by vares.8457 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Festivals are just as much of time limited events. There's longer time to play them and it makes sense since there's usually much more to do and they have AP+festival-specific rewards bound to their achievements. Meanwhile here it's log-in, make 3 clicks and you're done for a week. Also anything you get from taking those actions isn't somehow limited to this particular event, they're bltc items you can normally get. Hopefully you keep writing to every organized promotional event you see because all of them are naturally available for a set duration of time and what if you didn't notice it before they ended? It's 2023, just gimme? Let me know what responses you receive from them. (spoiler alert: "sorry, it was available from x to y, good luck next time!") 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
