/bug was arguably the most important command in the game. I am almost always finding bugs/glitches, and never report them because I have had a lot of shit with emailing them.

Good stuff. Gets the point across and is mildly hilarious to boot.

OP thank you for making a nice post stating your issue without say this sux's, etc etc. Myself - At work most of the event, had to work the next day.

Also agree with the /bug command - it was so handy, espically for "terrain" glitches because it repored your exact pos on the map to.

I feel nub! I have seen the reference OP twice..... What does that stand for?

Red · Apr 29, 2006, 07:44 PM // 19:44

Yes... I didn't see any FAQ that lists these references, so... what does it mean to be called Mr. OP? And, where exactly did RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE come from? o_O

Edit: Oh, look, I'm an actual citizen now. I feel so honoured.

OP = Original Post (or the writer is the Original Poster)

In the spirit of working as a team to resolve the biggest issue brought up in the thread: "Where is my CE". I propose ANet issue temporary CE acess keys. The keys can be purchase for a refundable sum of money. The key could have an expiration date of June 30 (or something like a couple weeks after everyone should have their CE delivered). If the real CE Access key is not entered before the expiration date, the money will be kept by ANet. If a Key is entered, the money is refunded to the user's credit card. It may not provide the people who ordered the CE with the extra goodies, but it at least gets them game access.

Now I am not a programmer or accountant, so I really have no idea how feasible this is. But it should really help some of the hard feelings out there right now...

And for the record, I did NOT order the CE, so this is not to benefit me or someone I know.

Eviance · Apr 29, 2006, 08:30 PM // 20:30

(Thanks I feel slightly less nub now XD)
Yeah I think this was the biggest issue..... I mean even right now my biggest fear is that my CE will make it to the store and be sold to someone who didn't do a Pre Order - I mean as it was Redly, Krionn, and myself had to drive a friggen hour just to GET the pre order of the CE >_<

We are just amazed at the lack of information that all of the companies have.... Every place we call goes:

What game? Never heard of it...

Pre Order... I don't have a clue

OH I know what you are talking about but have no idea when we will get it or if we will even get it.

Yeah I heard about that, any idea what thats about?

There is no such thing as a Factions Pre order

I didn't know they were making a CE! COOL but we don't have it and won't get it.

OH and the best was when we called the store where we ordered the preorder CE, and they say they never had any! Or rather that in their computer its just a number now and they don't know what that number stands for....

We live in a big city so to have to go to a little BFE town nearly an hour away to order it, only to be hit with the knowledge that we might be screwed either way...

Yeah I think my husband made a great letter (love the links to), but I think I would have been cussing up a storm >_< (and actually have cussed up a storm to my husband about it). And with each post about it or comment from them just makes me even more angry..... I mean what was the point of a pre order?!?! I thought it was to let them know how many to send out and to where!?!?! Just how did it all go so wrong!?!?!?

Dki · Apr 29, 2006, 10:12 PM // 22:12

OK my 2-cent on this matter first of all I would like to say that that is a nice peace of work.
I am a former SWG player; actually still have account open but not playing anymore. I spent over a month looking for a game that had the same complexity or similar to the old SWG. Well GW is not that complex but has many options and various ways that you could play this game. I personally think Arena NEt is by far one of the best out the5re in the MMO world at the moment. We don’t pay a monthly feed and we still get support, look at SOE u pay and not support that is y people are leaving their game.
I would love for Anet to stay that way and take a look at the thing that post say. I miss all the festivity as well due to that I am in the navy and I had duty on the tegun day I personally thought that should it been longer, Hell I preorder the game like everyone else why cant I get the same treatment. Anyway Anet keep been honest with your player base and stay straight with us we will support you 100% as long as u stay that way.
Thanks

Tien ak · Apr 30, 2006, 05:10 PM // 17:10

It's good to know there are still some great gamers out there that apperiacte what Arena net is doing yet still trying to make a great game even better!

I completely agree on how they did lie saying how friendships are important on Guild wars yet funnly enough there is no message telling you if one of your friends have logged on

And as for the Event hats, yeah I think its lame some people can't go to it but then again you gotta give the Koren's that play this game non stop somthing to look forward to

:joke:

I think to improve the games overal feel of friendlyness (if thats even a word)
is to uncustomise the hats i mean they wouldn't be that expensive surly like
1k or two and im sure if you have a very nice mate im sure someone will give you one, which will feel alot more heart warming than waiting for one. And as for friends online why havn't they put a little message saying "Tien ak has logged on" when ever a friend logs on? I've missed so many friends online just the fact i didn't know they were online

ok now thats out the way just like to say what a fine job their doing I mean this game is free of charge which rules! plus its not as if its a bugdet game it has one of the best graphics (MMORPG wise) i've seen. And how about the new armour shops how you can choose what look you want and the stats (which was my idea check this forum

) so they do listen to us but only things that are worth while and would effect as a whole eg my idea of picking and armor look and stats, as everyone would be able to pick what they want everyone happy.

Eviance · May 01, 2006, 06:59 PM // 18:59

They did the most spectacular job with Prophecies, but after that... It just went downhill...

And recently what hurt me most was the fact that Gaile snickered at those that didn't get their mask - because they refused to communicate fully. Laughing at us cause we have a life... her life is GW and as so she should learn to represent and not snub those that keep her in her job.

I just get even more angry when I come to these forums and see another underdog getting walked on - or more discrimination - more glitches and bugs that haven't been fixed even if they have been that way for weeks - or the worst of all idiocy!

I cannot stand idiots, so when Gaile responds to our anger about the tengu mask of: Well the guy in town did a count down didn't you see it?

No Gaile I was busy getting my freakin fangs! We all cannot be as lucky as you to get ours thrown at us!

(It's stupid comments like that, that bug me....) Or like in another thread where I read about the 12v12 and a monk saying that he/she hated the way it used to be because she had a hard time finding the 4members she went in with to heal them.... WTF???? Aren't you in a TWELVE member team!?!? DuduDUH! I told him/her "If ya wanna play a 4man team, go to TA!"
And it seems the more I watch Carlos Mencia the more I hate stupid people... It makes me want to wack them a couple of times with a baseball bat and go: DO YOU LISTEN TO YOURSELF WHEN YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH!?!?!

Yes I bitch and complain and I have been very sarcastic in my posts, especially when dealing with idiotic remarks >_< Heck I can almost see myself getting banned for half the crap I write (which is why I deleted a post for the first time last night... or rather edited it a third time for content >_>).

Guys all it takes is a little common sense from yourself and GW to make this fun and enjoyable - but sooooo many of you are found lacking that it just makes me sad.

I don't have a degree in college and barely made it through Highschool (was bored, they weren't teaching anything new)... But even I can see flaws in some of these posts, heck there are a few in my husbands but not worth heckling over.... Or rather they have been heckled at by those who did NOT fully read or have the common sense to understand the post.... But these others in other threads that I have seen.... Lord good luck in life and a job and anything else, cause I can't make sense of you here if you cannot make sense of yourself....

Good Grief, I am almost scared to see what happens if some of you actually THINK (yes I know that is a big word and it hurts ya wittle head) before ya post!

I mean yes my posts are confusing sometimes, especially if I get ahead of myself and use to much internet slang, but at least I can admit to my post being stupid, will appologize to my readers and try to make it more intellegent.

IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR!?!?!

Oye I think I need a perkaset - Please ignore and endure grammatical errors as well as hidious spelling mishaps.

Case in point of stupidity - sir this was an excellent idea and I applaud you! Supposedly this idea was implimented and we are allowed access keys of the heavens and such for those of us who pre-ordered...

So then we are all YAY! FINALLY THE STUPIDITY IS OVER! We call the main headquarters for EBgames and talk to the man in chaaaaaaarge...

He says and I quote: "Those keys are only for those who pre ordered the regular Factions edition and not the CE."

Again folks this is stupidity at it's finest moment - for me in the background yells: OMFG ARE YOU A MORON DON'T YOU KNOW THAT IT'S THE CE THAT IS LACKING AND NOT THE REGULAR!!!!!

Husband/Redly is already off the phone... Me: Why the hell didn't you tell them they were idiots!?!?!?
Redly: Dear it is not my fault that AGAIN GW fails to communicate properly.

Me = 7 kinds of pissed!

Just leave me alone in a room with Gaile, EBgames, any of the GW devs or heck anyone else with a stupid comment... just please give me someone with half a brain so I can go at them with all my common sense and leave them in the wake of my awesome wrath going... "Oh hell, that was too simple, why didn't I think of that"

But ya know... all joking aside, even if that did happen (the part about leaving me in a room with them) I don't think it would matter, cause its obvious when people think that they are right they refuse to look at a bigger picture...

I just want the stupidity to end and some intellegent ideas to start pouring forth!

(Some ideas I have seen were awesome! and others... laughable -_- and surely the case of someone not thinking before they said something)

"Signet of Approval"

The OP was indeed very well thought out, and frankly, though not address it directly; the post really reflects the feelings the "common player" is feeling right now.

It isn't really at all about one thing or another. It's that sense that A.Net is starting to not listen. The "common players" are bcoming concerned, and as much as we'd like to whole heartedly say everything will be alright, we're not sure, considering what we're seeing in the way of communication at the moment.

I hope things improve, A.Net hasn't failed me yet, they've always pulled the fat from the fire in time to reinvigorate my faith in them, I hope they do so this time, and fix the plethera of problems the community has with Factions, or the process of getting Factions or the CE, or anything in general.

Tien ak · May 01, 2006, 07:49 PM // 19:49

I agree with some of the proberlems you mentioned yes there way to many morans paticualy on this forum. -_-

I've posted about two ideas on this site one got accepted and im not sure what happened to the other, one was that every char had the abilty to pick what armor he had, so first the look and then the armor I got so many "RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOn noob OMG /notsign SHIT IDEA BLAH BLAH" but guess what got put into factions

yup my idea ha ha ha take that dumb ass nerds ^^

My other idea im still heckling over, its so hard to come up with a good idea and have a resonable grown up chat so you can share ideas and ok some peoples ideas are dumb like one for example was not to let high levels into the start of cantha "the monstary bit" she complaied that they were selling high level items and it was pissing her off, now ok thats fair enough but she didn't think what if I just bought the game and I already had a lvl 20 char and like exploring? after a few nerds yelled and screamed at her (being the jerks they are) some one who is a true player told her nicely the facts and why I can't and was fair in his judgement.

Thats a true gammer not somone that screams at people who aren't thinking straight or some one who's new at the game. A Gamer should understand certainly in this game that this is a Team Game and we should all try to get along, as some of our ideas get put into the game and even tho we might not like certain peoples ideas but if you have a good opioin on why you don't like it and maybe try and find a way round how you may like it.

rant over, but going on to the whole hat event things yeah I do think its aboslutly stupid that they are customised as its not fair on other players...however I think they relise that now as there was anouther event after that one were if you been playing Guild wars since day 1 you get a 'mini pet' now what that is, is you have a small creature in your inventory who follows you around in exploreable areas. The great thing is, is that people can sell em so everyone can have one ok their pricey 100k+ecto but give a few weeks people get fed up and desprite for cash and you'll see em for 10-50k, hopefully from now on Arena net have relised that people actually really want these little trinkets and want to share em.

Im now going to make a Post were people can post every bug they found in the game so people if want to complain do it there and i'll post em on every offical and elite web site

PS sorry if it doesn't make sense in places just I can't be arsed to spell check

Eviance · May 01, 2006, 08:32 PM // 20:32

hehe I think you did just fine...

I used to be a true Gamer in the sense I would talk calmly to people and in some cases where I know its just a silly misunderstanding I can still help to make people see the light. I did this in a PC thread.

But more and more ingame and on the board I run into people who don't care for others feelings or people that like I said, fail to read before they post or worse yet think before they post... I've made a couple and had to edit them down for "content" >_>

I see my errors and try to correct them for the good of humanity. It's like the guy who told me and my husband to get a life after you let his minions eat us in Thirsty after he got his cap - it was cruel and uncalled for! And people like that and scammers shouldn't be allowed to play!

I have had to kick people from our guild for just being too stupid for me to handle. I am the head officer, Redly is our guild leader - I help and raise our new members, I teach them and train them to be the best they can be. We tell them that no question is noob except for questions ya don't ask!

But then I run across new members that want to do a mission and ask in chat - I respond - wait 10mins - they ask again - I repond (again) - 10mins more - they bitch cause they got no response to which I tell them - Hey idiot if you cannot be bothered to read guild chat then I can't be bothered to respond!

Again later they spam chat and then throw a fit cause no one responded when several people did! Finally we call a meeting and they are given a warning - they usually get upset and leave. The idiocy started with the first guild that Redly/Krionn (my real life brother/myself were in... They still blame my brother for the guild falling apart when it was the boyfriend girlfriend that ran the guild who couldn't stop fighting long enough to pay attention to its members... When they would fight the members would get the brunt of it -_- The saddest part is they were real life friends *sighs*

In the end its just a game - if someone doesnt like the use of a certain skill fine! They don't have to use it! but don't ruin it for the rest of the community!
Selfish stupid people are what makes me so incredibly mad.... There is NOTHING in this world other than someone hurting my family that makes me more angry than stupid people!

I admit to being stupid at times myself and am willing to blush and confess my idiocy for the sake of humanity and bettering myself... I just wish others could do the same!

(YAY FOR MORE RAMBLING! >_> I truly am a nice person once ya get to know me X'D )

Tien ak · May 01, 2006, 11:12 PM // 23:12

Sounds like you got yourself a good guild there something i want to turn my guild into one day...

Plus I agree with people being heartless on guild wars but that happens loads on online games like one game called Battle field 2 were you have a huge war against each other and get in tanks and planes...well to the point people on that go mental for littlist things like kill you just to get in a plane somthing like that.

Thought guild wars is one of the top dick head player list...

Also I didn't understand what you ment on my topic as the nerds closed it down before I could reply

I've noticed also with this forum as well that just beacuse near my name I got 'town dewler' I get flammed at every topic I post even the good ones...but yeah im not flaming simply looking for answers but why was my idea wrong?

Thallandor · May 02, 2006, 12:28 AM // 00:28

QFT to the OP. But i tend to be more agressive in my view but that just me

Kudos to Anet for Guildwars, without it i wouldnt have found the friends i did but Factions so far has been dissappointing along with the points made regards to the events and changes.

Mr_T_bot · May 02, 2006, 12:38 AM // 00:38

Mr T agrees.

Ghozer · May 02, 2006, 01:22 AM // 01:22

24 hours was more than enough for the Tengu mask, I got a tengu mask on all 4 of my PvE charas, and had over 1500 Fangs to spare, so i managed to get some guildies masks also :/

Dunno what ppl's problem is..
