Guild Wars 2

For those of us who quit Liadri this year, any confirmation whether she will return next year, and whether we will be able to get the achievement then?

Apparently gauntlet is coming back again at some point…a Anet dev has already said…

They might make it a permanent feature, I hope so, because I need much better equipment then exists in the game to do it. I am old, so my reactions, co-ordination are not equal to you 20-30 year olds…

I’m hoping a lot of the broken mechanics get fixed during the Speech patch rather than next year. I’d be surprised and disappointed if they leave the Gauntlet as-is before it’s gone in a couple weeks; So there’s that I’m holding out for.

I can’t possibly imagine a situation where they read pages and pages of the same game mechanics issues making this boss fight more of a control fight, and then NOT do anything about it in its final major patch. There’d have to be something really messed up with the devs if that’s the case. Which I’m definitely sure it wont be. Fixing up game mechanics to fine-tune the boss to its intended form seems like a priority patch for the midway point of its lifespan. So just wait a day until they fix everything. Highly doubt they’d ignore all the player-unfriendliness created by the boss mechanics clashing with game mechanics. Give it a try when they fix it. Which should be tomorrow. Which reallllly should be tomorrow. Major portion of the new content has been working improperly, so they have most likely working on a fix for the new update. Coming tomorrow. /repetition

And then it turns out they actually have been ignoring this and deciding instead of fixing temporary content, they’ll just roll it over for a year. No biggie.

Next year? Most likely not.
Next time the gauntlet opens? Yes she will.

The Queens Jubilee is not a recurring event, the Gauntlet however is. We do however not know when it will come back.

Pretty sure when they said The Queen’s Gauntlet will be the final yearly festival in the rotation hinted at this being a yearly thing. I’m pretty sure SAB got pushed into an April event too, since the SAB’s estimated timeframe for returning got scrapped and passed. Either hinting that ANet wants to keep it as the April event or just that they genuinely missed it due to not allowing to add it or it being incomplete.

Even looking at just the “reoccuring” festivals we’ve had (Mad Kings Day, Wintersday, SAB, Dragon Bash, Bazaar, Gauntlet; all of which have been at least hinted for being a yearly thing), that’s kind of a lot. Especially at nearly a month length each. I’m hoping a bunch of those show up at random times through a year, or else this will feel like carnival central. So much for keeping festivals to a minimum since they take away from the “special feeling”, eh?

Also more on-topic, we have no idea if ANet will change out bosses each time the Gauntlet comes around, like how SAB will be changing out weapon skins making the previous ones unavailable (as well as changing old levels).
