I feel this topic is needed, not just for the players but for the devs to show their work was appreciated.

Far too often we only talk and post about the negative things. More often then not, this is the minority too. Those pleased with a product never feel the need to comment on it.

So I just wanted to thank the devs for an amazing experience, both in tribulation and out of it.

World 1 Trib I now run daily, taking ninety minutes of my time to do all three. I feel it was excellently crafted, where even though spikes may seem cheap, they had telling patterns from level to level.

World 2-1 is a nice smooth level, no real issues, I do wish it was a bit harder on both trib and normal however.

2-2 reminds me far too much of my days in Dark Souls, having to sit back and look before I charged in or else I would get punished for my own recklessness. Really well done.

2-3 was an amazing platforming experience, both in normal and in tribulation where we had to use those clouds to our advantage. The way you force a player to learn to jump on the cloud in a safe environment before having to do it again in dangerous environments is what game design is truly about.

All in all a well done job developers, you deserve more praise.

I agree. Great job ANET ( or whoever the guy who made it is called – sorry mate, I still like your work ).

Only thing that you need to work on when it comes to future World 3 and 4 are bugs and crashes etc. I can do hard jumps all day long, but when after 2 hours of zone3 ( world 2) I get booted, I feel like killing some1. I don’t know, maybe put a 5-minute checkpoint in the middle, so any1 that crashes can safely come back to the game and start from there(?)

Yeah really great work, had/have so much fun in the SAB. Also going in daily collecting my green and yellow weapons

What I personally would like to see in one or two zones whould be a clear way. So you exactly know where the normal way to go through that lvl is. Like in infant mode where you go from cloud to cloud but then in a difficult way.(While I am writing said I notice that world 2-2 is exactly that, so more of that please^^)
2-2& 2-3 are a bit long when you play them the first time.

We had so much fun in that trap house with the gong. Always looking in fear around the next corner where in your mind Josh was sitting with his bow ready to shoot in your face
Also racoons on a ninja rope are amazing. Now ninja ropes…next time worms with bazookas which knock you from a cliff when you get to close? ^^

I’m a new player and tried the SAB for the first time yesterday. Me and my friend got to zone 3 in world 1. Had a blast and gonna continue today! It really got me immersed. While in the labyrinth (where at the end is the bee queen) I was suddenly attacked by a toad. I screamed out loud and started to run around in panic yelling “OH MY GOD IT’S FOLLOWING ME, IT’S GONNA KILL ME!!”, only to find myself in a dead end. Luckily my friend was there to save me and killed the toad. He laughed his kitten off…

I was glad to see this post as I wanted to make one similar. Thanks.
I’ve had a lot of fun playing this. It reminds me a lot of the old frustrating Nintendo games. World 2 zone 2 reminded my of playing Kid Nikki. The frustration and nostalgia…
There is a lot more crying this round of SAB but that is a good thing. You made the thing to be a challenge and it is. Glad to see few positive posts. I guess some of us finally had a break from trying to get our green and yellow skins we could finally post.
I love the box

I would like to chime in. Unlike other players who make ridiculous claims that TM is only difficult because of bugged gameplay, I encountered actual difficulty and had a great time beating it. Both this and Liadri are what I missed in this game the first time around. I quit for 8 months because I couldn’t find a challenge and I didn’t enjoy grinding. So thank you to the devs for this great content and don’t mind those who would rather blame “bad design” instead of putting in the effort to learn how to progress.
