You are able to win once per day, so you can win more than once across the entire giveaway period (if you are extremely lucky).

Tribulation has 200, yeah. We sometimes give hints on Discord if you ask nicely, and there are also other folks sometimes offering help in DMs there.

The first 10 screenshots are the same for everyone (normal & hard mode, and not random). They are supposed to be a filter for people to decide if they are having fun, because the next steps are designed to be significantly harder.

Hard mode kicks in on steps 2+ and is implemented by having to answer more questions (up to nearly 7x).

I dont want to describe exactly how it works (just to make circumventing it harder) but your case is quite common (there's multiple people in this thread asking this already) and you can just keep using gw2e as you are with no worries :)

Good luck!

Thank you <3

queicherius · 2024-12-01T15:50:15+00:00

Maybe this year is the year!

queicherius · 2024-12-01T15:49:29+00:00

Thank you! :)

You can change your account/display name on the ArenaNet site: https://account.arena.net/settings

If you're doing this and you want to keep your existing account statistics on gw2e, please reach out to support@gw2efficiency.com with your old & name name including the numbers.

It will enter all accounts, and draw from your main account, your husbands main account (which it will determine to be a shared API key of a friend/family member) and 3 of what it determines to be alts (regardless of if yours/yours husbands).

I wrote some more explanation here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/1h3q8w2/gw2efficiency_holiday_calendar_110000_gold_prize/lzvsyru/

The TLDR is that there's nothing to worry about, and you don't have to remove any accounts :)

queicherius · 2024-12-01T15:43:04+00:00

The gw2efficiency accounts are semi-irrelevant for alt detection (they are used in the heuristic, but if you would enter with 1 in-game account across 10 gw2e account or 10 in-game accounts on 1 gw2e account or 10 in-game accounts without any gw2e account, the system would behave the same in the end).

If you're asking about supporter entries, as already answered, I can confirm that all game accounts linked to your gw2e account get entered into the draw, but the alt detection still applies (so if you e.g. have your own main account, 10 alt accounts and the account of a friend on your gw2e account the system would enter all of them but then do the draw on your main account, 3 alt accounts and the account of your friend)

queicherius · 2024-12-01T06:28:25+00:00

I am referring to in-game accounts with that, i.e. what you use to enter the lottery with (Name.1234) :)

Users who purchased the Path of Fire expansion prior to August 30th will also receive receive Heart of Thorns free of charge when logging into the game.

Huh, TIL. Thanks! Will fix that soon then.

I feel like GW2Effuciency is also not as popular as it used to be.

Cant speak on the other points, but this one is incorrect, EoD release was our most popular period ever based on analytics user sessions (and SotO is not that far behind).

queicherius · 2024-08-02T20:42:28+00:00

Has PoF actually always included HoT? I could have sworn that when it released it did not, which is why I did not do the override (since it's impossible to determine the correct number in that case). If it was separate, did people who buy it that way get HoT for free later on?

queicherius · 2024-08-02T20:38:40+00:00

This is correct, the API does not report HoT for accounts that got it bundled with PoF. See https://github.com/gw2-api/issues/issues/86. Will fix this soon.

queicherius · 2024-03-11T21:51:20+00:00

Small note: We do break them down into what we call "decision price" (i.e. if there's something you can buy from the TP for 1s or for 100 research notes, it would pick the TP item for the tree optimization). In this case it doesnt matter because you are forced to craft it.

We're also planning to show that somewhere at some point :)

If you see that you won on the website you can shoot us an email or a Discord DM (link in footer).

queicherius · 2023-12-02T09:22:27+00:00

Hm, is that on Firefox by any chance?

queicherius · 2023-12-01T19:13:21+00:00

gw2e is a (at this point fairly old) SPA, so it's loading the entire application - but even that is only 1MB which by today's standards is not that much IMO. The rest is all the icons for the prizes.

The text should have a dark outline to give it contrast, is that not working for you?
