Guild Wars 2

the achievement icon is brown color, same as other activities.

so, we can always attempt to do the achievements.

no worries, it will not go away.

did i get it right?

They have confirmed that it is a recurring event I believe.
I’ll see if I can find the quote.

We still want to have some content that can happen each year, our holiday festivals, Super Adventure Box, Zephyr Sanctum, and the new Queens Gauntlet are all intended to be content that will regularly return.

Sadly no. It is a activity though so it might get put in rotation. Likely will only happen When the Jubilee comes back.

well, at worst, it will be a yearly event.

not one time.

That seems presumptuous, but I do hope it returns with new bosses and such at some point.

well,

living story are one time events
the achievements icon color is purple

activities are not one time events
the achievement icon color is brown

queens gauntlet will return.
the achievements can be attempt again.

thanks!

i believe the rage for queens gauntlet achievements will subside if everyone knows that the achievements are not one time only.

I think you hit on the key of why they separated it from the living story achievements as they can never be attempted again.

Oh thank the six! I really didn’t look forward to trying to cram all those achievements into 2 weeks on 2 accounts….

well, i’m not sure how often it will be available though.

for example, mad king and wintersday is an annual event, happens once every year.

perhaps the queens gauntlet is similar?

once per year?

The Queen’s Gauntlet will return, yes. However, I’m still not certain that the achievements will still be completable the next time it returns. After all, Crabtoss, Southsun Survival and Sanctum Sprint all returned as activities, but it’s still no longer possible to complete the achievements that came during their respective releases.

i am certain the queens gauntlets achievements can be attempted again.

the crabtoss, southsun survival and sanctum sprint related achievements could not be attempted again simply because they were inside purple color living story achievements back then and not inside brown color activities achievements.

if queens gauntlet achievements are inside purple color queens jubilee living story achievements then it can only be attempted within this month.

however, queens gauntlet is in its own brown color activities achievements so it can be attempted again.

and in the future, more achievements added to it, we get more tiers, more gambits etc.

And a yearly event is temporary by definition!

So after a month there will be a big bird dome over a hole doing nothing where earlier there was just a hole doing nothing.
So there still will be kittencrap to do in DR.

This is better, how?

perhaps i should rename the title to
is NOT one time

after a month, the crown pavilion will still be there.
however, it will be closed for maintenance.

all those smashed up beyond repair robots will need replacements.
lots of them.

a year should be enough to manufacture enough robots for next years event.

K, your ideas are nice and a cute way of polishing up a tur.. what can´t be polished.

Bottom line is, after 9 months we have 5 dead cities. Lots of deleted content, thus totally wasted Dev-work and when something finally comes along to revive a city it´s just more temporary stuff (Moto/Pavilion).

So releasing loads of stuff to build up a bank of stuff that they can turning on and off now and then is wasted Dev-work?
Another thing to keep in mind is that much of it can also be seen as experiments to see how it works and how people react to it, which would make future releases better due to more experience and knowledge of certain areas.
