You missed two posts that had to do with this post you're quoting.

The fact that people are upset/overreacting that they're delaying the actual ability to turn in for the weapons?
Sure, people are annoyed. Not exactly a great outlook on just how long this is going to take to fix if they still have yet to fix it for all the people who never got season 1 prizes.

Short answer: full of salt, stay away.

Taking sides is a different issue since it's not good that this is happening but bitching about either side of it whether you got your chest out not and then I'd you're getting your rewards on-time because you have your tickets already doesn't help much either.

didn't the season 1 rewards suck? obviously it's horrible horrible that people didn't get rewards they should have, but I imagine this round is given a bit more priority.

There's a spot in Malchor's Leap near the Risen Chicken event, that tends to have three or four. I just do a quick dash through Malchor's when I need Ancient Wood, going from east to west, following the road and hitting the nodes I see.

Yeah, that's reasonable. I wouldn't want to rub my ill-gotten Mistforged glories in the face of the deserving. Hope it's all sorted out soon.

In other news, one final addition to this round of officer promotions- everyone please welcome Zeroth to the team! :D

Congrats Zeroth, and everyone else who recently became officers! Please don't hurt me with your new found power.

Thanks folks!



If you joined us on our Saturday missions, you would know that I use mumble.

Seeing as I am on my way to replacing Ash as the second Guild Leader, we have added you guys as officers so you would run the guild missions instead of me. I will deal with more important things like harassing members on chat and barely playing the game.

Anyway, everyone knows that I should be a leader since I am running for President and all.

General
While the World vs. World team investigates an issue with tournament reward chest distribution, we are temporarily delaying access to the rewards that would have otherwise been available on the Battle Historian on June 3rd. We hope this will help prevent further compounding the issue, and avoiding unnecessary confusion while we work to resolve the problem. Thank you for your patience.Due to fierce financial competition, one of the armor and weapons merchants in each staging area has declared bankruptcy and moved on. Their goods have been claimed by the remaining merchants.
The player-count requirement for breakout events has been lowered from 10 to 5.
Edge of the Mists
The Grawl High Shaman champion will no longer revive destroyed Bound Earth Elementals. The number of max targets affected by the shaman’s transform skill has been increased.
The elite Bound Earth Elementals no longer become nearly immune to damage when near each other. Their base health and damage has been increased.
The Kodan Chieftain champion now creates more patches of falling ice.
Fixed a bug in which the staging area supply piles were updating for the wrong team.
Fixed a bug in which opposing teams could sometimes use captured keep waypoints.

For the next two weeks, every Black Lion Chest will include an additional reward: Boost Enchantment Powder.

Unlisted AC Change

The Spider Queen at the start now does AoE in the corner/melee range. Rip Daily Ac runs.

If this is true, I can't help but laugh. If Anet is now actively, slowly, trying to fix the bad stacking gameplay people resort to for "efficient" farms, instead of playing the game as was intended, then this is the beginning of something great.

I wouldn't mind that if they greatly increased the number of tokens earned per run. It gets boring doing the same dungeons again and again so you can get less than 100 tokens per run. Stacking just makes it faster to finish.

Considering how fast the dungeon goes even without stacking, and how few tokens you need to get a full set, I think it's perfectly balanced. I didn't even have to run AC that much to get my Gift of Ascalon. I think people are being *way* overzealous in how much reward they expect for their effort. GW2 has spoiled people somewhat.

It is impatience that makes people run the same dungeon again and again without taking a break, so if it gets boring, I blame the player, not the dungeon.

Unfortunately, it looks like AC Spider Queen was not changed, the person who reported the unlisted change likely just had someone out of melee range. :(
