Easter
You just got tomahawked
Why didn't Anet put up an announcement about Easter? I thought there just wasn't an event this weekend. So, I log on to Guild wars this after noon and PvE (I normally PvP) and it turns out eggs were dropping but I had no idea. Anet should extend Easter because there was no announcement. My friends and I had no idea Easter stuff was dropping so I didn't farm which I would've been doing if I would've known.

1. maybe they were going for the irony of the eggs being a hunt so you had to find them.
2. I think all their focus is on the end of the month for the week long celebration of new stuff and drops.

pretty obvious there would be an easter event, theres one every year and since youve been a member on here since 2006, you should know that.
you want anet to put an announcement up when its time to eat, sleep and change your nappy too?

I am Muslim, I don't follow the Christian holy calendar. I don't mind the Easter event I would just like to be alerted about it.

I agree that Easter should be extended also, My entire alliance was doing Jade Quarry because we thought that they were not going to do an Easter drop weekend due to the lack of log in announcement.

It IS pretty annoying that they didn't put an announcement.

I don't really see why they need to put an announcement. I mean with all of the trading going on about the Easter drop Items it can't be hard to notice, even if you do play PvP most often. Also, Guild Wars 4th birthday is coming up so there's going to be more drops then too. If you really want some Easter drops buy em and stop complaining on forums.

I completely agree that they should extend the drops due to no announcement. While it may happen every year, it is also accompanied by an announcement saying there will be special drops. I also did JQ today instead of VQ'ing because I didn't think there were any special drops for this weekend.

As you post here on the forum, you really have no excuse for not knowing it is easter. As there have been easter threads for the last few weeks.
If you never even heard of Guru and only relied on the GW website or announcements for updates, then you'd have a valid point.....but you don't.

If you dont pve, then no need for money, then no need to care. If you do pve, you woulda seen them drop so no need to QQ so no need to care. Whats your problem exactly?
Black Metal
as much as I think all religions are horrible constructs of regressive mankind, the anti muslim sniping is pretty distaseful.
that aside, it's sloppy that anet didn't post this. Yes it's expected (for veteran forumites who know this happens every year) but for more casual players, it's an important announcement. I chalk it up to sloppiness and oversight, hopefully a one time event

This is not only for me, I caught on early but this is mainly for other people that aren't as fortunate as me who my esteemed friend "Stop the Storm" pointed out to me.
Kook~NBK~
Yeah, the lack of an announcement is an "oops" on A-Net's part. It's not a given that everyone who plays GW would know that today is Easter for Christians. And it's not a given that everyone who is registered on Guru checks the forums every day & reads every simgle post. Heck, it's not even a given that people read the announcements on the log-in screen! hehe 
Capulatio
Well, you guys are all lucky. I am leaving for Cornwall in like an hour so I can't farm at all today. However I got 3 stacks yesterday and traded them for 275k in cash, which I traded for 55 ectos and 50k. Got my Everlasting Abyssal Tonic

All of you are failing to see the point he is trying to make.
Him being Muslim has absolutely nothing to do with Easter event on Guild Wars.
Point 1:He wanted to know why there was no announcement.
Point 2:He would like an extension or at least have Easter next weekend due to the lack of an announcement
My points
Point 1: New players may not know about Easter event
Point 2: Just because he is Muslim doesn't mean he should not be included in Guild wars events.
Point 3: Some people would have gotten on had they known this weekend was Easter, but figuring there was no event they just simply didn't get on.
Not trying to be rude to anyone, just simply tired of silly comments being put on his thread.
Also I do think there should be an extension. (More bunnies and eggs for all)

Why the hell are ye all hung up on the fact that he is muslim? He's just saying that's reason he didn't know it was easter (as well as lack of ingame announcements)
and how many of you could tell me you nkow when easter is off the top of your heads?
I couldn't, but since this is the only event I farm I made a point to make sure i knew it and had gw all ready (havn't palyed in a while).
So a redux does seem like a good possibility

What matters if there have been posts on guru about it or not? Why does he need to have a "valid point"? Its pretty obvious Anet screwed up yet again..
I really really fail to see your logic...
PS FIY not all christians celebrate Easter at this time. Orthodox dont.
That being said, I dont see Easter drops getting extended. Sorry mate

on topic, i DO agree and i think the event SHOULD be extended b/c of aNets fail in lack of a comment on the log-in screen.
Aldric
probably just an "oops" moment by anet. Yeah they probably should have stuck an announcement on the login but i don't see it getting extended or redone.
p.s has this thread been cleaned up? I see some complaints about anti muslim posts but for the life of me can't see any.

quite sure Earth cleaned up. Mods react amazingly fast sometimes

I can't remember the last time that ANet just didn't have a weekend event at all, for any reason. You could have just looked around for info on what the event might be.
I don't see this event being extended, for a number of reasons.

If these weekends are so dear to you (not targeted at op in particular), you could've done some research as soon you noticed no login announcement on Tuesday, Wednesday.
Just a slip up on Anet's part.

Has anyone noticed this on the 'Update' thread. http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...4&postcount=19

doesn't really matter, we all knew about it.

In game event needs in game announcement.
"We" does not extend to the much larger population of the game community who do not read forums or wikis.

They're not going to do a "redux" of this weekend. There's already another big event drop weekend two weeks from now for the GW 4th year anniversary. Somehow I doubt they're going to do Easter weekend this time, a redux next weekend, and then 4th year anniversary drops (which will be longer than the weekend).

There should be a redux. Many people don't follow the forums or wikis and they should have been informed. Guru is not representative of the community.

If Walmart were giving away free Easter bunny chocolates and they weren't obvious about it, you'd all be pretty pissed that they didn't make an announcement about it.
Miss Puddles
I honestly don't think I would care about it one bit.
I'm so happy that every new thread here is someone QQing about one minute detail or another that they don't like.

Now, if I did care, and Walmart had advertised and given them out the past few years, I probably would take it upon myself to find out if they were doing it again this year if I didn't see any advertising. If I did care.

Kind of strange to compare farming to a real life scenario like a Walmart giveaway.. How would you compare that?
Humm..
Have to walk around the store mindlessly and every so often an employee will randomly pop up and give you a chocolate bunny maybe? lol :P
Apollo Smile
Oh wow, whats next? Complaining that Talk Like a Pirate Day and April Fools weren't announced?

I was a bit suprised there was no announcement. It could have just been someone forgetting. Plus, many players just skip the login screen anyways.
Khazad Guard
Usually I wouldn't be fussed, but I dont see how Anet can just forget/ignore/skip one announcement so easily. I mean it's obvious it would be an Easter weekend (for most people) but my guild was mainly confused about the time. Would it start on Thursday noon instead of Friday noon because of Good Friday? Would it end at 11.59pm Monday, instead of 11.59pm Sunday because of Easter Monday?
