Wiedy.9516 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Just a quick shout out to Anet. I have been hoping for this kind of news for quite some time now. Paired with GW2 coming to Steam and the new expansion releasing, I am really optimistic about the direction the game is headed and the measures Anet is taking in order to put GW2 on the map. I think this is a great way of bringing in new and returning players! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic.6780 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 My boyfriend sent me the code for twitch prime because he doesn't play the game and I got: One 10-slot bag (what) Karma Booster Experience Booster Item Booster Black Lion Miniature Claim Ticket I'm not exactly thrilled with what I got.. but I suppose it's their first time doing it and maybe they're still trying to figure out what's right. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is to get new players rather then something for the veterans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm betting the rewards match the level of commitment in the deal between Anet and Prime Gaming. GW2 doesn't exactly garner a lot of views compared to other games, so Prime Gaming isn't as impacted by its presence, and Anet doesn't like to advertise its game much for some reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcopaul.2156 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) idk but you would wonder even why Amazon agreed to partner with Arena.Net/GW2 with this Prime Gaming.. and Steam doesn't even compare to Amazon in terms of "influence".. pretty sure Amazon and Arena.net are cooking something epic for the future..

fenriswolfman.5486 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I want to say the only ad Ive ever seen for this game was that horrifying taxi one that sent my social anxiety screaming. Theres been a few product cross promotions. Quiznos and whatever that bubble tea was called. Some contests for a car and a fully machined guitar lol.

Since we're talking a video game here, you may want to rethink your statement about Steam and Amazon. Steam as a service has influence that far outweighs any other competitor by a vast distance. Also, the Prime Gaming stuff is purely for exposure so that's why the rewards aren't game-breaking. I mean they're literally free with a Prime membership...which anyone who uses the internet has unless they go out of their way to avoid Amazon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arena.NET makes collectibles too (like the Aurene that is for sale now). I'll think that they will expand to that area to focus on actual 3d irl art.. or who knows, music/soundtracks even.. and merch - t-shirt, mugs, pins, bagpack.. like, who doesn't want a Zuzu, the Cat of Darkness plushy? (this merch stuff is too hot and used by popular social media influencers).. Steam is as dictionary definition of steam as it gets. just .exe files.. and let's be real yo.. Amazon is owned by the richest person alive. idk what company even runs Steam.. And yes, as i've also read here, Arena.NET GW2 uses Amazon servers. And by that, I stand firmly by what I said earlier.. Edited August 7, 2021 by alcopaul.2156 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jin.8501 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 (edited) Alcopaul sarcastic or living in a barrel?

ANet was doing what they could to increase GW2's presence back around 2018/2019 then NCSoft took a chunk of their staff for some failed new IP, then sacked the other chunk in the process, so ANet couldn't properly get themselves the necessary manpower to get this game advertised strongly enough. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenriswolfman.5486 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Pretty sure its come out that marketing wasted all their resources pushing esports. They were the ones behind that part of the game. It was never the devs intention. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Amazon sell boxed or digital download versions of popular games? So am i being sarcastic? that's what i thought.. i would even visualize Arena.NET selling a real life version of the Eternity GS (Limited edition) for some fat $$... .. on Amazon...
