I have had fun in the SAB as a solo player both on infantile and not. Got to a big bad boss (no spoiler) and could not pass (as yet). Apart from that – good fun!
The SAB is supposedly finishing at the end of the month but, for those that want it, Anet maybe could extend the availability. Each time I have used the SAB the area outside it has been thoroughly crowded!?!
I’m really hoping the popularity of SAB means it stays. Although I loved the Mad King’s Tower and the Wintersday stuff, it made sense that they were only there temporary. It just seems a waste of resources to take the box away again though as there is no lore/timing based reason to do so. To be honest I’d even forgive a little bit of suspension of disbelief if they introduced a “simulation” mode to the SAB and let us play stuff from previous events.
Told a friend who had quit playing GW2 he should come back and try it. He logged in yesterday afternoon and was still in the SAB last night when I logged
i lol’d, man, at this point a storyline can be written about the super adventure box within gw2, that it’s a type of mind control device warping and enslaving the minds of the good people of Tyria. (seen other people theorize similar epic storylines).
Wow, a bunch of people quit and then came back for THIS?!
I’m finding it hard to believe people are on GW2 hiatus and it’s not even a year yet.
To be fair, Guild Wars has ALWAYS been played like this. Because Guild Wars has an end point. I.e. when you have gotten a character through the personal story (in Guild Wars 1 it was the story missions) and you are happy enough with the characters look (in Guild Wars 1, for most people it meant getting their character prestige armour. In Guild Wars 2 it just means full exotic and possible ascended gear) you can put down Guild Wars and go do something else for awhile.
Usually, most people will come back for special events, when expansions are released etc, etc. Some won’t of course, but the player who don’t return are the ones who don’t like Guild Wars. But it’s a game without a monthly subscription fee and a game that doesn’t necessarily punish you for not logging on everyday. I mean, sure there are the dailies but not getting dailies is not a punishment, especially since you do have to specifically go for the dailies most days. So you can like Guild Wars, loves Guild Wars but still take breaks from it. I think it stops you from burning out personally but that’s just me.
My brain is shagging under the weight of changes… having six characters was not a good idea!
