I am really pissed!

I spent all of my night racking naga fangs for each of my (6) characters so I could get tengu masks. Well the last call for the emperor comes around and I go to the monastery and he is already gone - apparently he was only there for like 2 min.

I am sorry to whine like a little girl, but seriously - I spent most of my time after work which was from 9EST to the present racking fangs and the emperor is only there for 2 min??????

My question to ANET is - why wasn’t the event more explicitly laid out? Why wasn’t the community notified of his arrival/departure times?

We all cant be 15 years old and be online 24/7!!!!

Well I noticed it on the first meeting with emperor that you can possibly get only one mask per one account at a time, since he just changes stacks of 250 fangs to the Mask during one line of speech.

In order to get 6 masks, you should've been online for 18 hours.. NPC that would have simply traded the fangs for a mask would've been nicer imo..

But the mask wasn't that cool in my opinion so I was just happy with one. Ohwell.

What kind of pissed me off is that on the last one, he came at 11:45 instead of 12?

What's up with that?

This is totally unfair. We were given no warning that he would be leaving early during the last session. People wasting their time to accumulate the fangs to try and get them in on multiple characters (in the what maybe 2 minutes that he gives them out??) only to find out that he wasn't there at the normal time for the last session.

Very poor communication on the details of this event ANet.

Yeah, I'm a bit unhappy about this too - my girlfriend didn't get a mask on her character because she showed up 10 minutes "late" (ie: 10 minutes early, at 11:50pm pst ..)

What's the deal with changing the guy's schedule and not telling anyone?

I'm so mad that he came early. I worked as fast as I could to get the fangs for my monk. He's supposed to come every three hours. Why was he early for the last call? It doesn't make any sense to me. I'm so bummed that I wasted so much time...for nothing, just a bunch of useless fangs.

Guys, remember these points:

Anet didn't have to give us a day Head Start.
Anet didn't have to give us a Head Start 'event'.
There was an announcement in Monastery that he would be early.
It is just a chicken head.
It is just a game.

Yeah, this SERIOUSLY BLOWS!!!!

I only barely managed to collect the fangs on time for midnight. I then just missed the emperor (I was at the Monastary at 12 midnight, but apparently the last appearance was at 11:40).

I mean, it's one thing to announce a special event ahead of time and allow us a few days to get the collector items together and then get a few chances to do the exchange. It's another to have the event last exactly one day.

It's not like it's a holiday or even a weekend. It's a bloody weekday -- people (yours truly included) have to work. I have 3 copies of pre-order purchased, so I'd like to think that Anet did well by me, but this SERIOUSLY makes me angry.

I just gave my fangs away because I didn't like the mask all that much. I think as itself it looks pretty badass. But how it looks ON a character is a different story.

Actually, Anet did have to give us a head start, because that was on the Pre-Order package. (I.e. they got money in advance for this - it SAID so on the package).

Correct, Anet did not have to give us a Head Start Event, and given the way they've done it and angered not a few players (at midnight there were some upset people at the Monastery), it's probably better next time that they don't do one instead of doing an poor job of one.

FYI, I never got an announcement in the Monastery that he would be early, and I was in and outta there like 4x during 10 oclock.

I'm not pissed off over the frakin' chicken head so much as the fact that I just wasted an entire evening over the bloody thing.

And its only $50 that we are paying them...

It make me re-think the competency of the Dev (or the event handler). They could easily put up a in-game announcement to everyone telling us about the change or time (or even its schedual of appearence, since many are uncertain when the Empirer will show up), but No, they didn't. They could of easily done in where its a trade-in with the NPC, and not have it only on certain time... but they choose so, which result in this. The comunity relationship should of say something (in game, or at forums) to quite down the disgruntled crowds (myself included) but they didn't...



Its just full of holes.

Greetings,

Have to come in and share my experiences with this. During the final appearance of the event, I got an err5 disconnect. By the time I could log back in, every district I went to had already concluded. So, in essence, I missed out on a limited-time-only collectible (yes, I am collecting them) through no fault of my own. The reason is because an err5 is, from my understanding, a server-side error. And yes, myself and others in the district I was in were having lag issues before the err5 occurred. I have already filed a support ticket via the guildwars.com website, but I also feel that this needs to be brought up in public forums to bring attention to it. If enough people that this happened to speak up, then we will get an answer/resolution in one form or another. All I want to know is if there is another chance or way to get the mask, or if I, and the rest of us who got err5'ed, are just out of luck.

Well, thanks for letting me vent for a bit. It does actually help, and hopefully I'm not crossing any forum lines with this post. If so, I apologize in advance.

Merry meet, merry met, merry meet again,

So what if you weren't in the monastery? How were you supposed to find out?

This is what global announcements are for.

I recommend everyone go file a report with Anet here:

I was happy to get them for 2 of my characters, however; it might be in vain since one of them is a factions character and my pre-order CE may not get here before they all get deleted.....but I guess I had fun doing all those quests (had better since I will probably have to repeat them when I finally DO get my CE! )
