Plok.5873 Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 As a coffee enthusiast (some might say addict) I've waited impatiently for the promotion unlocking the /sipcoffee-Emote. As it turns out, the promotion is US-only and about ordering physical items priced at ~20$ / ~33$. I happen to live on the old continent. It is possible to have it shipped over the atlantic, only doubling the price. Custom fees would triple it. Plus the paperwork, which has to be delivered in person with a valid ID document at the other end of town. German Bureaucracy is a deterrent even to fools rushing in where angels fear to tread. Fun fact, in Germany Bureaucracy is both our form of state as of society. Picture a Rube Goldberg machine scaled to administrate an entire country. -> Since this leads to an unreasonable price for an emote, I'd like to request an alternate way to unlock it. Pretty please, AN? ^.^ "/sipcoffee" Emote Tome - Guild Wars 2 Wiki (GW2W) 16 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farohna.6247 Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I just don't want anything else in the Madrinas box...didn't even realize there was an emote. I'd actually pay some gems for the emote and maybe a coffee themed chair, like the tea table. So yes, please, I would welcome another way to obtain it. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeePlease.3082 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I was actually really bummed to see it was for a mocha coffee blend instead of just regular coffee. I don't drink sugary drinks so really all I'd have use for is the cup. I'd love the coffee emote all things considered but that's a lot to spend on something I wouldn't even consume. I even emailed their customer support to see if they had any options to offer any of their sugar-free options as a replacement so I could at least still get the gw2 cup but never heard back from them, sooo oh well. Neat to see them do another collab, just kinda missed the mark for people like me who tend to avoid sugar in general. 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliyana.8936 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Hi everyone, I have actually purchased Madrina's Mocha of the Mist, and have gotten an in-game code. One thing I've noticed when they emailed me was the mention that I have early access to the emote, which left me under the assumption that it will eventually be obtainable in game (although by what means, I have no idea). Here's a snipping of the email sent to me with the code cropped off at the bottom... https://imgur.com/a/yxmizz7 For people wondering what was the first exclusive in game item from this promo, It is consumable coffee. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Coffee_Maestro's_Supplies 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more likely that it will be available from other promotions in future. That's what's happened with other promo items like the Aurene Cape and Glowing Purple Mask. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh, thanks for the heads-up! 😃 Might be one of the emotes that will be implemented as rewards for SotO content. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, maybe there is a solution for us non-US-players; buy Madrinas' coffee, then ask them *not* to ship it and instead just to email the code. Or, if they refuse this option, have it shipped to aa random US address. 😉 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowmoon.7986 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 If you only want the emote, you could just send me tub of over priced coffee. The emote is sent by madrina, and is sent to the email of who bought it not where the tub ends up. That way you do not need to pay customs.

Look, I don't get out much due to real life cirumstances. I don't generally take vacations. I don't eat out. I don't play golf, go to bars, smoke, drink. I have a couple of hobbies and none of them cost me much. I do however, love coffee, and this seemed right up my alley. Every now and again I do something completely iresponsbile. It's good for the soul. 4 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, this emote was not included in the original batches of the cold brew coffee, and the advertisement mentioned that we would be getting a special Mocha coffee feast to share with our friends, which was still appealing enough for me to give it a try (on top of being a coffee nut anyway) It neglected to mention the feast was consumable and that we'd be getting 5 copies of it initially though. I assumed it was like the birthday cake feast, and would just have a minor timer, as did others. The coffeesip emote was added later and retroactively granted to everyone that bought the coffee, so this is relatively new. It was not initially what was offered for the coffee collab, but I'm glad that marketing realized there may have been an issue there and gave the people that supported it a lil' something extra. Quote Honestly I'm surprised GW2 didn't start doing it sooner. Other games have been selling emotes, or making them promo items, for years. Sea of Thieves did it for a promo with this same company. It's an easy home-run if you want the collab to succeed, especially if the emote is devoid of flashy promo material so it can fit right in with the existing game world.

Doggie.3184 Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Not even the US price is reasonable for an emote. Plus there's the whole Grubhub Pizza Emote debacle in that kinda killed the trust for these silly promos. I don't like coffee though so wew. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
