Presents in Kamadan, This guy gets them all!
Hideous Beast
I wish the prezzies would just spawn in our inventory, I get why the running around would be fun, but with pings of 43,000ms it's a nightmare, I've retreated to my guild hall a few times just to avoid the chaos.

Aw Gaile that's very cool. 
Always good to see more holiday spirit.
Teehee I got enough presents just the normal ol' way that I'm happy.

I spawned up there by an accident.

Yeah this year was kinda plus/minus kinda thing. Afkers get screwed like it should be and random people get more presents.

Why do we have to do something to get free shit? Why not just give the afk'ers their presents and theres no bugs, gliches or anything else to complain about. Kthx.

its not only the taiwanese ppl...from what ive heard, some south east asians are also affected....they get DCed when they enter crowded areas(eg LA)

Maybe it's just me, but wouldn't it be easier, especially for the dev team, to just make an npc giving out hats or/and presents for them... if they put it in the taiwan district or something european/american players can't 'abuse' those npc's anyways.
And what's the difficulty with just extending the event, or running it again at a later time there or something like that? And picking up unassigned presents, why not just program in some presents for the taiwanese etc.? I would think that would be easier to do then picking them up and delivering them to those players.

I really hope that this is just a joke. Anet employeers collecting wintersday presents? Simple admin command would generate presents to fill your inventory in one second. 
It is probably an act of sympathy towards taiwanese players. Maybe they will see some suprises in their inventories once they can log in again but collecting presents manually is just a pure show.

As you may be aware, there was an earthquake near Taiwan. I'm told that some Asian players have not been able to attend the Wintersday event. Now, I can't get them a hat -- hats are customized. However, what if there was a way to get them a Wintersday gift or two? That's what I'm hoping to do! So, nobody is exploiting this, we just don't want the items to go to waste. Thanks for understanding. b] |
PLZ anet send someone to the european servers to collect the gifts there...and give them to the needy

i knew there was a way up i spawned standing on the slopy bit at the ledge and i couldnt move
gaile is freezie? woah this world is changing a lot o.O

They really need to clean up all the Wintersday gifts, my PC lags each time the game first loads them in ^^ Plus its a big mess

It's very lame, you can do it by walking against the wall, and if you die, you get spawnt there.
But why would you do it, it must be fun for the others, I think it's lame and that they should ban his account for a week or so.

I'm staying well out of the range of those gifts The gw client get's "lagged" whenever i get near one of those super stacks You know, that effect that let's you explorer the whole town, but after a certain time you'll get either DC't or warped back to a wall where you got stuck
GJ on removing those presents and giving them to the people who deserve it instead of simply deleting them

Is there still a way to get wintersday hats if you could not attend the event? Sorry I was out of state w/no computer at the time.

Tough luck I'm afraid, otherwise we'd have people whining about missing last years events and wanting hats from those as well.
It's not A-nets fault if you can't be there.

Look, I'm sorry about the earthquake and any real physical damage it may have caused.
But you're whining about a game. You're complaining about connection issues and lag. Guess what, you think a ping upwards of 1k is bad? I often get 4-7k. I get dc'd from lag in LA and Kamadan all the time, and don't even get me started on Kaineng Center, if I ever load in there, I can't map out without half a dozen dc's, no exaggration. It's called dialup, something I have to live with because there is no broadband where I live. And you know what? I get no special treatment for it. I've lost out on a lot of stuff because of it, and there is no way to compensate, and I'm not asking for one. I just want to point out that if your biggest problem in the world is lag issues, and you actually think it's worth complaining about, you need to wake up.

Did I sound like I was exaggerating about lag issues to you? Well I'm sorry if my English was too hard for you to understand but please stop flaming other people when you're the one actually whining about your 4-7k ping on dialup.
Wake up. |
Being affected by an earthquake is suffering from damaged or destroyed homes, personal injury or death. Lag is not being affected by an earthquake, lag is a bad day for you ISP. Get over it.

I saw a warrior up on one of the ledges also. It probably has something to do with the rez mechanic because I searched around that area for a way up and wasn't able to find some parthway there.
