Yay! Bonus rank weekend!
For some, this is a great opportunity to make progress toward the awesome rank finishers and whatnot. For others, this is a “total slap in the face” (see https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/pvp/pvp/Ready-up-rewards-a-slap-in-the-face).
I personally find this to be cool bonus and for that, I thank ANet.
That, unfortunately, is as far as my positivity goes.
As you guys know, this event was poorly announced. In fact, its not even on the front page of guildwars2.com. Its not on the launcher that shows announcements. Even further, no NPC in game is telling anyone that this event even happened. I’m pretty sure that unless you’ve visited the forums within the past few days, you had no way of knowing other than word of mouth.
Was this event to reward the dedicated PvPers only? Perhaps. Was it to entice more players to come stay in the Heart of the Mists for longer than the 5 seconds it takes to zone in and run into the Lion’s Arch portal? Maybe.
Whatever the reason, I feel that this could have been announced AT LEAST on the launcher. If this is any indication of how much consideration the PvP team or whoever is in charge of putting this event on blast, then I am deeply concerned.
You know… On top of the lack of communication, balance, patching, blah, blah, blah.
What do you guys think?
