God forbid you actually have to play the game to get the titles you want.

If you DC in the night, please QQ. No one cares, just be glad you can get all those points for doing nothing. Perfect example of the greedy idiot that plays GW not satisfied with anything. Give him AFK'able titles, he QQ's because his internet screwed up and he didn't get rewarded for going to sleep and not playing.

The only legitimate reason Anet has to redo the event is because of the 050 server errors. Of course, I'd be willing to bet the hundreds of people AFK on the rings is the reason we had all the errors, so...

I didn't D/C on Nine Rings, but I did AFK for a couple hours. I left with close to 250 tickets, and when I came back later, I had 4. FML.

Ok I understand where you guys are going, and I really appreciate how much you people love to throw down the gauntlet of sarcasm. This was a legitimate question especially with all the 050's occuring in the american districts. I was casualy asking for your opinions but instead all I received was hatred. Forget I even brought it up, but you guys make me LoL. Oh God I am asking for another weekend where people can go afk and actually have some semblance of a life........yeah really asking for too much here. And on the topic of titles the lucky/unlucky titles are just a miserable grind that should have some other way to increase it. This was not intended as a QQ fest, but gg guru fanatics.

Lockpicks. Invest in a few, stop being lazy, and start opening chests. I carry a few with me at all times just so I can open chests as I'm playing the game.

Also, CNY is not the only event that grants us access to the boardwalk games.

Jensy · Feb 15, 2010, 06:42 PM // 18:42

Yeah, there's really no need for this. I would like to see an official lucky/unlucky/triple lolpick drop weekend since the last one was eaten up in the LAST redux we had. Blugh, just give me a few weeks with no festivals of any kind, thanks x_x

The only reason we got a redux on wintersday was because they screwed up on their end. They could care less about lag because unless they go buy a bunch of new servers it will never be fixed.

How about you get off the soap box and read your comments? You want a redux so you can afk and not even play the game to get points because "it's too hard" to get a title which isn't required to play the game. Your reasoning ,which was originally because of lag, changed to the 050 errors, which actually affected people who were mapping to districts and not them lagging out.

So why are you whining about a redux instead of offering another solution to get lucky points? Did you even READ your post? To most people, you are QQing.

These titles are nearly impossible to get w/o the help of the 9 rings, but how can you get them if you end up dc'ed and the 9 rings games only happen twice a year. I vote redux who is with me?

Versus this?

These two quotes are completely different thoughts and approaches. You whined and begged in the first for a redux because you got dc'd. You asked who was with you which opened you up for a hammering. In the second one, we can easily conclude that you knew that some of the guru communtiy can be a little harsh at times. Seems like you essentially knew you were going to get ruffed up a bit, but yet you posted a /beg /beg /beg for redux.

In the second one you are bringing up a code 050 issue that did happen to a lot of people. Does this issue constitute a redux....not sure, since I really dont have enough information to make a "in ink opinion" of yes or no.

There is no legitimacy to your first post based of a simple DC. Now, if you had a code 050 and you couldnt even log onto your account for next several hours like a friend of mine.....then that would bring some legitimacy to your post. You failed to bring that to the table in the first post, if that was even the case.

So either one of two things here. You honestly had an issue with code errors and you failed to explain properly. OR (which I believe to be true and its my opinion) you got a dc, whined about it, got slammed, heard about the code 050 error and tried to cover up your first post.

I really dont see how you can really defend yourself well enough for people not to open the floodgates. And really what constitutes as "having a life?" The whole "get a life," "having a life" statements are really sad statements in themselves. Its like using "whatever" to explain yourself...one just has nothing else more intelligent to say so one blurts it out.

@drunkard....Daam you..you beat me to it!!

Genius Was Revrac · Feb 16, 2010, 12:28 AM // 00:28

Ok so I should have thought out my original statement which should have included the 050 errors in conjunction with incredible amounts of dc's that occur on the 9 rings. I guess my first argument was primarily based on my emotions and I let that get the best of me. It is just that I have played this game since its conception and every festival I have DC issues with the event that have added up to a lot of lost points. Then I get the 050 errors on two of my characters that make me waste even more time. I already have Grandmaster Treasure Hunter so there is little incentive to get the title that way for those who keep saying quit being lazy.

The only thing I wanted from the Guru community was a little bit of empathy and instead I got a flame fest. How very typical as I have seen the same thing from the same people over and over. I expected a few negative responses but the hate that flows from some of you is really very funny and sad.

Next time you think about making a sarcastic or negative comment how about you take out your anger on a family pet or a therapist. j/k on the pet

Unlucky things? Open a dungeon chest without getting a gold, open a high end chest or nightfall treasure and get a purple, break a salvage item, get kicked out of the underworld or fissure, etc.

Expand the title outward, and we won't need the damn rings and their afk requirement sapping the servers.

This, this, this. It would be wonderful to have lots of extra ways to actively pursue the Lucky and Unlucky tracks and to have the AFK games removed.

This is actually a really good idea. I would like to see titles based on what you naturally do, or what naturally happens to your character rather than more distracting grinds.

As for a Canthan New Year Redux, I would like to see it, but not because of nine rings. I ran into what appeared to be a common error during the weekend, and as a result I was only able to participate with one character.

Oh well.

Lanier · Feb 16, 2010, 05:07 AM // 05:07

I was really pissed when I got dc'ed every night during the event. Isnt the game supposed to wait for 12 hours of inactivity before booting you?

The game really isn't supposed to wait any amount of time before kicking you, I know people that have AFK'd a session well into 20 hours.

Oh? Iv been told on multiple occasions that it was a 12 hour wait of inactivity before an automatic boot.

Regardless, I have gone for many, many hours before afk, and after looking at how many points I had in my lucky/unlucky titles, I determined that I was asleep/AFK for a little over an hour before I was kicked.

However, the whole concept of the lucky title is flawed (and the sweet tooth... and the drunkerd, and the party animal). The only realistic way to get a title shouldnt be to go afk during an entire festival.

Thats because the titles that everyone grinds, sadly, wasn't viewed by anet as something they would be spamming over and over to get, but acquired gradually. Lockpicks are also used for lucky and unlucky points.
