Hello,

(Sorry if my English is poor, I'm translating from the internet).

The subject mentioned in the title is in the section: The Xunlai Market. In the first post it is stated:

Quote

Figured it was time to get this one up and running again...if need be someone will merge it with the old one (wont be me though)

so let us know what good (or really bad) things happened for you today while playing!

But very quickly, from the very first page, participants posted their titles and many other items besides the drops. This topic has also become very popular and widely followed. It has become a general topic of discussion: what happened to you in Guild Wars today, whatever players wanted to express about the game. I am far from being the only one who follows this topic more than any other on the forum.

Since last November, an update to the topic requires that we only talk about drops, as it is in The Xunlai Market section. This is not a good choice, and an opinion poll would also demonstrate this. Re-creating a similar topic would not have the same impact, and most people on the forum would not follow it in the same way (not to mention the history of the current topic).

The right solution would have been to change the section of the topic, not to restrict it solely to posting drops. On behalf of most people on the forum, please make a change that will allow us to view this topic as we did before.

Wishing you happy holidays.

ive only just noticed this and im wondering:

as far as i remember the snowmen looked a lot more white and 'flat', now it looks way more silver and shiny. and i don't have post processing enabled, the new options (HD bloom and SSAO) are greyed out. i think i recall some level of shine in certain places but it was more subtle.

was it always like this or has anybody else noticed a difference?

edit: from certain angles with light hitting straight on it looks as i remember, but still the other angles do not look normal

it changed since reforged imo

this here be the flood thread from now on ?

Share whatever you have going on in-game/discussion here.

The Xunlai Market for items/drops still exists here: How did Guild Wars treat you today? Items/Drops ONLY

Just don't post the same content in multiple places. Thanks.

Sorry to say, but I won't be posting in this newly created thread. I'm not looking for a fight, but that wasn't the point of separating things.

The topic: “How did Guild Wars treat you today?” could be used both for drops in general and for what we saw or experienced in the game. Most of the contributors who had already posted once received a notification when a new message was published. That's important. No one will come here. There's no history either. In short, this doesn't solve anything, but divides and discards people who don't post drops in a dead-end topic.

I'm willing to discuss this further or find another way of doing things, but this isn't the right one. I also understand that we shouldn't discuss the same topic in several places. But that's not the case 99% of the time for the topic: How did Guild Wars treat you today? Updates? Reforged is an exception. Other than that, I don't see where the duplicates are (?)

But I insist that the mistake in all this was made when you updated the topic last November, when there was no need to do so. Moving it somewhere other than the Xunlai section would have cleared up any confusion. Rather than forcing people to only post game drops. Insisting on this approach and not acknowledging this mistake will lead us to a dead end.

In short, this is a useless topic that solves nothing, sorry. If there's anything else I can do, please don't hesitate to let me know.

admittedly my post about model appearance might be deserving of its own thread. i asked the question merely to gauge if others have noticed it too. and i expected for it to get buried in the normal flow of the thread. while separating the 'how did gw treat you today' thread from this general no-drops thread would slow down the process of individual posts getting buried, it would still happen.

There are also many posts on the original topic that do not warrant a separate or unique topic. I like to remind that from the very first page, this thread was used to post completed titles, etc. That's why it was good.

We're not going to create 10 different topics. One for drops, one for titles, one for in-game observations, etc.

But that's what ended up happening. The original topic was nerfed, when the problem was simply the section it was in, not its content. And another topic was created that no one is interested in and no one asked for (otherwise we would have just created it ourselves).

Today, we see one of the only popular and active topics on the forum, which almost everyone visits at some point, destroyed by these ill-considered decisions.

Separating drops only from "How Guild Wars Treated Today" isn't the best move. One of the better threads where everything that happened can be localized in one spot.
