Guild Wars 2

Hi All! I’m new to the game, I want to know when TnW will end, more precisely, until which date I have time to complete the achievements?

Tx!

No set date. It goes until the bar hits 100%. I’d say give it about a week.

It ends tomorrow, the whole “your input matters!!!1111!!” thing was, as usual, a load of bull crap. If it wasn’t obvious by how fast the bar has been moving the last few days, the fact that there are no TnW or ToN is a dead giveaway. Come on Anet.

It moved fast because of the daily associated with it to clear the final instance. It always makes a nice spike during those days. Although removing the dailies from it isn’t a good sign.

At first I actually believed it was player input and it made me happy, but the bar has been moving at what appears to be a pre determined rate since Thanksgiving. Maybe the bar was player input at first but at some point it absolutely started being fixed by Anet.

You must not be in the tower daily. There are people who still do the instance.

Yeah, there are people… but very little.

The bar should be growing very slowy nowadays…

How do you know that there are very little people? Have you gone to every server and looked? Have you considered that people used to go there when they still had dailies for the tower? The day before had a daily that required players to complete the final instance. You very well could be correct except you’re not providing anything to support your side.

Supposedly one could keep track of the increase as a percentage based on the pixels of the screen. I remember someone talking about that a couple weeks ago. Perhaps someone has been keeping track of its progress and also noting what daily achievements there are for the tower as they’re doing it.

The tower is dead after today’s patch.

Most of this list has already been completed, and our December 10 release includes a few more items to cross off our wish list before we head to the holidays:

The culmination of the Tower of Nightmares story arc in Kessex Hills.
The return of one of our favorite holidays, Wintersday, just in time to celebrate the end of the Tower of Nightmares battle!

I figured today would be the last day of the patch (despite the bar still need a couple of %) just because there was no daily for the tower at reset. That has only happened in the past when that LS is going away with the new patch.

Well, I don’t know for sure. I can’t count how many people were inside the tower, on any given moment, on any given server. But you can see tendencies…

In this case, I am giving a personal opinion, based on common sense. Starting the LS there use to be at least one zerg on each floor, and the map chat were filled with conversations. It was easy to pick a group after a short wait, and enter the tower with them. And even if you didn’t join a zerg or a party, you normally would see other chars at one time or another, inside the tower.

The last week before before this update, au contraire, the map chat were almost empty. We normally wait almost half an hour to complete a party of 5 chars, and it was difficult to see another soul on the labyrinth. Some people just leave a char at the final boss entrance to do the related dailies. And, talking about the dailies, entering the tower to make the daily (last days) isn’t the same thing that entering the tower to explore it and win its achievements (early days).

I didn’t take a population census on the towers on other servers, but isn’t illogical to thing that, more or less, the behaviour was the same, isn’kitten Again, I don’t want to give a scientific answer, but I really believe that my opinion on this subject isn’t very wrong.

Again, since we don’t have a census on the tower population, we only can suppose. I think that it is possible that a lot of people changed their gaming timeframe, and because of that now we don’t see them, but they still do the tower a couple of times every day. But it isn’t probable, don’t you agree?

And so, since we see a lot less people inside the tower, since the initial fever for the tower and its achievements has gone (as is normal with every LS), since entering to do a daily isn’t the same that entering to explore the tower and get its achievements, I believe that it is safe to assume, on a non-scientifical point of view (as if we were talking on a video-game forum) that said bar should be growing slowly, don’t you think?
