Guild Wars 2

I don’t like the Survival but I like the Arena. And now don’t get me wrong – I don’t want all the people that like the survival(I know there are a lot) to come and flame in this thread – I don’t want Survival to be removed from the promised rotations.

ArenaNet should give a reason why there will be no Arena. At the moment I have a only one possible reason: We already have stuff with Aspects at the Sanctum Sprint. But that’s not a good reason… I mean they include Crab Toss and Survival which means 2 Free for All activities based in Southsun. So 2 activities with Aspects should not be a problem?

Let’s look closer at the promised activities. If I remember correctly: Keg Brawl, Survivor, Crab Toss and Sanctum Sprint – anything else? (Did not want to open the client and I don’t remember the dialogue completely).

There seem to be 3 Free for All or “everyone vs. everyone” and only the Keg Brawl team based. I’d like to have the Arena added cause I like it and I’m sure a lot of others like it(even though it needs some balancing but that you could say for the other stuff too). Also it is team based and we play an MMORPG – team based stuff is nice.

Now they could just add the Arena so we have 1 more activity in that rotation or remove 1 other thing. We probably don’t want Survival removed. Leaves Keg Brawl, Crab Toss and Sanctum Sprint. With Keg Brawl one of the oldest activities(since Release) this probably also is unlikely to be removed.

Leaves Crab Toss and Sanctum Sprint either remove one of these at both… or let Evon support one and let Kiel support one… I’m sure more people like Sanctum Sprint and it would be good if this was exclusively supported by Ellen(since a lot of people seem to play only for rewards and support Evon cause of the reduced key prices only at the moment?)

Southsun is basically a zone without a purpose. The mini-games will get people out there, even if only a few minutes to run to them.

Unlike Southsun, Zephyr Sanctum is going to go away. It wouldn’t really make sense to have games available there when the hosts aren’t around to support them.

Well that depends Healix. The point of this subplot is to acquire a trading agreement with the Zephyrites. We’ll decide who gets to apparently, but it seems the agreement will be a fixed thing.

A piece of goodwill from them could very well be access to their aspects for recreational means.

Afaik the Sanctum Sprint is already promised by both – ant this is related to Zephyr Sanctum. So it should not be a problem if Zephyr Sanctum “goes away”.

Since it is a rotation and we have the trading agreement they probably will visit more often? (and then enabling that activities in the rotation)

Zephyr Sanctum traverses the world, only stopping to resupply and trade. I imagine it would take months, close to a year for them to loop around for another visit. The Zephyrites should be able to teach others how to harness the power of the aspects however (though it’d probably take years), so there’s always a possibility for events that don’t take place on the ship itself to still occur.

The release notes for Cutthroat Politics only lists Crab Toss and Southsun Survival as games being rotated. By the way it’s worded however, there could be more or entirely different ones. Generally however, what they list is what you get.
