please, continue.

Not arguing, discussing. The thread should be all just a bunch of /agree's? I like a good discussion, it keeps things interesting.

By this logic, We probably should ask Anet to design armors and skills in prophecies to accommodate that aspect of backward compatibility too.

New armors would take quite a bit of work. However this thread is just asking for ANET to give the client a small piece of data they already have, then outputing that data in a human readable format.

In saying that, I'm always in favor of new weapon/armor skins.

Quote:

Wait I actually have a better idea, how about making prophecies/god realms monsters drop spears and scythes too?

Would you want these FoW/UW weapons to use new or existing skins ?
New skins would take a bit of work to make, existing skins would just need adding to the drop tables. But apart from the work required, I'd have no objection.

Im also stuck at 23 months for the last 3 months I think

/halfsigned. it would be good but i dont really think that there is no reason not too. isnt it sort of a nice suprise to see a present show up in your sorage

. But i guess it is nice for those who just /age every two minites up close to the screen going "WHEN WHEN WHEN is my instant 20K here!!!" so they can measure their time betterr and not need to check so much. And i guess those who want a suprise could just not look at all.

Mr. Red Engine, I regret to inform you that your character doesn't actually exist and this is a video game. Not even our lives are this clearly mapped out...there are always variables in it that make things exciting. Why don't you just show some patience and you'll get your 5k minipet?

Yes, the surprise is what mini pet you get, but once again I'll say this: After looking at wiki for too long, the game loses its mystique. Instead of asking ArenaNet to map every little detail out for your mathematically hungry minds, why don't you just enjoy the time you spend logged on?

That's my final word on the matter, as well as my final post in this thread. Good luck.

makes me wonder tho.....how many ppl would throw rl b-day parties for their characters? lol xD

I wish I did know the date of when I created each of my characters so I can keep track of their ages.

Linksys · Oct 23, 2007, 11:00 AM // 11:00

True, the surprise is seeing which minipet you get. Knowing which day it will come will build the anticipation.

/signed

Either this or have a tab in some window or menu with information like day created and such. The Account tab in the Hero window doesn't have much on it so it can go under the stuff that's there already.

CHunterX · Oct 23, 2007, 11:38 AM // 11:38

I literally checked my Monk daily at the 23-month mark to see when I got my present. I didn't play her, but I checked her, and relogged to a new character. Thankfully I actually got a decent pet. Its a good suggestion, if they have to the minute pinned down on how long you have been playing, I don't see why they can't add a simple 'day' line to the age of the character.

The worst is that i got a temple guardian, at least, I didn't have it on my HoM.

Someday, I'll get a bonedragon! :P

bladeturner · Oct 23, 2007, 12:53 PM // 12:53

Why not simply add a birthday to the bottom of each character in the login screen? Even add the ability to sort by age. Just a thought.

Phoenix of War · Oct 23, 2007, 02:15 PM // 14:15

I have two accounts that were both started right after GW release. They both have 4 characters past 2 years (for a total of 8 that are past 2nd b-day). Between both accounts it is a nightmare trying to track when a character will get a b-day present. I have 2 characters that are soon to hit 2 years, 8 working on 3 years now, and i think 3 that are working on 1 year.
Most were made before the "b-day presents" were ever incorporated so I had no idea to write down date of creation and all that. It would be great to be able to use /age on them and get their actual b-days so i could make a list.

Makes sense. I am at 11 month for some chars, and only for a few I know they were created on the day of Nightfall release. Not sure about the chars from the account inherited by a friend....

I don't keep 1-2 year old sticky notes around, and I dont feel like the hassle to make a wiki, facebook or website, it would be easy enough to do.

And I wouldnt call it "personal responsibility" to keep something around to remind you how old your game character is.

I'm still logging in every day to check on my 11 month old char -.-

I'd imagine it wouldn't be that difficult to display the creation time down to days and hours

Tender Wolf · Nov 24, 2007, 10:15 PM // 22:15

/signed. I remember when I first had a birthday and I was off by a couple of days and it was killing me not knowing when the day would finally come. This is a great idea.
