Guild Wars 2

“An Error Prevented Saving:
Message Body length must at least be 15.”

1UP

I would love for this to stay and receive updates. I played last night with 4 others and it was seriously the most fun I’ve had in ages. One of the members of my group did complain that it didn’t progress their character in any way and would prefer to see some “Guild Wars” content being worked on instead. I disagreed however stating that the living story events are still on going and updates are done monthly with STILL no monthly subscription fee. I’ve played MMOs in the past for Months with no changes and paying $10-$20 a month. I say keep it, keep up the good work, and keep being awesome.

Thus, why I am encouraging people to post a reason as to why they wish for it to stay. :P

1. This is sure a relaxing way after a hard day of whatever you´ve done. You could actually start with this and go on to other stuff to risen your mood

2. This lets people revive their childhood or lets younger people understand old games.

Lets do this!!

I want more content for this box!!!

Game Over

It was alright but for me no need to keep it around but does not really mattter if others want it to stay around i have np with that.

Yes keep… That is all.

This is good as a temporary supplement/holiday, to have a fun and experience smt new. But hey, this is not a game like that, and I dont think, thats good to add a content like that, to be permanent.

Ofc more content in SAB is a good idea, like Halloween/Wintersday etc, need more content to be added, cause in the next year this holiday shouldnt be exactly the same.

(BTW I hope ArenaNet is going to add world 2 in this month, and I believe, that it is in their plans.)

Please Arenanet, I’m 1UP over this! GW had Polymock as a mini game, why not keep this one here too? Maybe in the future move it to another town to make space for Polymock in GW2 as well in Rata Sum, but I want this to stay.

I was mad at you for the Lost Shores event because of how it turned out. I was bummed by the first F&F update, and crushed when I saw Guild Missions requirements, but THIS has made up for all of that. Thank you for the love letter to old school gaming ArenaNet. I tip my hat to yoyu.

I enjoy the event, but I agree with Xar, don’t make it permanent.

It’s a nice little temporary diversion, and being only a month is a good amount of time for people to enjoy without being too long that the novelty wears off.

We’ve all been around MMOs and games long enough to know that the first month of an MMO is when everything is new. It’s only some time after that people start settling in and finding things about it that they don’t like. So I think 1 month is good.

1-UP.

This is a great addition as it mixes well designed boss fights, exploring, and puzzle mechanics all in one fun cube.

1-UP

Nice Minigame

1up
It’s a fun and completely optional. I’m currently hoping for world 2 and a way to upgrade that stick Also I like some of those skins …

Game Over

I love the content; it is an absolute blast and I want to do more.

And that is why I want it to go away. Not forever, but until next April, when it comes out again, possibly with additional weapon skins, new enemies, and other changes, maybe even taking on a different facet of old games.

By taking it away it is something special. It is something to be cherished and appreciated while we have it.

If it never goes away, it is just another thing to do, like keg brawl, spvp, wvw, farming orr, shadow behemoth, claw of jormag, etc. Eventually, there are more things to do than time to do them. By making it a transient event, people are forced to make the time, or live with the consequences.

1up

I love the old school feeling. Definitely would love to be able to keep going back to it.
If they aren’t gonna make it permanent, they could extend it another month or more

Game over
Atm its new and refreshing and fun, if it stays, 4 months down the line it will be old and stale and boring. I want the dev teams to be able to focus on introducing more new things throughout the life of the game and not be tied up updating stuff like this.

1UP

I love this!

1 UP

It’s fun !

1 UP!

Brilliant idea. I can’t wait for the new worlds.

1up

If there’s one thing I love, it’s a good MMO. Another thing I love is 8-bit gaming. This content combines my two great loves, and I will be highly dissapointed if it were to go away.

1UP

The mini-game would be great even if it wasn’t for the nostalgia, simply because the mechanics are fun and because we can solo it (it is hard, but it is possible). Also, I love finding hidden places.
I’m not sure about the chests around the world, though. I like them, but I can see how they can annoy other people.

Also, there is nothing lore-breaking about an Asura using his “magic, crystal, rainbow” technology to make a video game. I can hardly think of anything more “asuran” than that, actually.

1UP More levels please

Meh Game Over is longer to write so

1 UP

As long as the chests disappear from the normal world at the end of the month the Azura ‘dungeon’ should stay 1/2 UP

Game over

I love it, but knowing that it’s temporary somehow makes it all the more special

1UP

This has some of the most fun content I’ve seen in the game. It’s just the kind of creative design GW2 needs to keep reviving my enthusiasm.

1UP

Moar puzzles!!!

1UP!

1UP

It is special anyway, making it temporary doesn’t make it any more so. When I first played it I assumed it was permanent and I loved it, now I know it is temporary I am quite disappointed.

My reasons for keeping it:
– We need more permanent mini games, Kegbrawl is not enough.
– It’s brilliantly done and lots of fun.
– It can keep you occupied for a good amount of time, rather than a quick blast and you’re done.
– It feels more like a permanent mini game than a once per year event.

I really hope Anet listens and makes us all happy gamers.

1-UP!

Let’s try get this over 9000!!!!

Game Over
It’s a bit of whimsy at best. The world has moved on from 8bit graphics and zelda, making this a permanent feature of GW2 would be a waste that people will eventually get tired of, especially staring at those graphics for too long.
It’s like when someone brings out a bit of music that has a strong classical element to it. It’s refreshing and unusual at first but you won’t be seeing it make a come back to the charts.

1UP.
Gives me some nice nostalgia and I’d love to have it around whenever I want to unwind.

This can be said about a lot of things, it’s not really a good argument against it. People will get bored of Kegbrawl, PvP, Dungeons, Fractals, you name it. Something like this is just a bit of fun which you can jump into when you fancy something different. Making it temporary will force people to rush through it as quick as possible until it’s all done and not enjoy it at their leisure.

If you feel you will get bored of it then that’s fine, you are not forced to play it. But I fail to see why others should not be allowed to carry on playing it just because you’ve got bored of it.

Game Over

It’s a brilliant tribute to the NES years and I love the nostalgia aspect, but I’d rather see it as content that returns with one or two new surprises at a later date, in which case it stays fresh.

I don’t want to see it disappear forever though. We could have done with an extra option for the poll.

1-UP.

And add more stuff like that on other cities (this is perfect for Rata Sum), so we have a reason to visit them more often..

Game Over

As much as I love this content, it should not stay in the game – for the same reason that Wintersday and Halloween content never stayed in the game – it’s event material. The kind of content that gets you into the spirit of the event, but after a while gets stale and boring. This month will be very fun with SAB, but if we kept it in the game any longer it would collect dust and grinders.

Also, if the developers put in work for this, it would destroy the resources they could have used on the game, such as other events or expansions.

1UP!

This is fantastic content that gives players a reason to congregate outside of LA. It is engaging, fun, rewarding, and removing it would really serve no purpose. Why would you showcase such a great addition to the game only to take it away?

Game Over… man?

To the ones saying 1UP and generally saying this should stay forever:
Do you really think that the novelty of this “mini-game” is going to last? Short answer: no. Long answer: Nooooooooooooo, it’s not since you’ll get quickly bored of it. You may run it w/e times you want for the skins/components but after that you’re not going to do it anymore (unless you want to restock).

Novelty is good but it only works as long as you keep it short. Would you really hold the Christmas event until today? No, you wouldn’t. It would get boring after the first month (and it would be tacky). The same will happen to this. Sure, now you find it fun, cute and innovative but like all nostalgia trips you have to remember that nostalgia puts rose tints on you and that it should be shortlived for it to be good.

On another note, it seems like it was a success and I’m glad people are enjoying it yet, I doubt this will keep the community interested since it’s only a distraction on the stale road to nowhere that the current content we are getting it is :V

Game Over

I am against this becoming a permanent addition. It’ll lose its luster quickly if thats the case. I do enjoy the nostalgia and want to see it repeated and expanded though, say yearly or bi-yearly.

1 UP

it’s original (to an extent, but isn’t everything), it’s a fun way to play with friends in a environment were EVERYONE starts with the same advantages and disadvantages, the skins are awesome, and it’s a great tribute to the roots of the RPG and classic gaming

Game over.
Nostalgic euphoria is short lived.

In a months time you will have remembered why your NES hit the garage, garage sale, or dumpster.

You all seem to remember how great is was, and forget.. you quit playing it. It will come back to you before too long.

5UP

It should definitely stay. I personally see no reason to take it away. To make it special? It already is. To keep it special? Even if it’s not played nearly as much after a month or two, so are other things, but there’s almost no reason to take it away. There will always be people who will love this game. To take it away from them because the majority got bored would be unfair.

It has the capacity to grow as much as fractals, with a nice refreshing feeling and tone of nostalgic “differentness” compared to the rest of the game. New skins could be added, new rewards given. And the whole experience could be “easily” built upon. It’s funny, challenging, and just plan fun. I say the public reaction speaks for itself. Perhaps Moto later says that “SAB was so successful, that I’ll be moving it to a permanent spot in Rata Sum to fund future research projects.” After all, every capital city needs at least 1 mini-game, and SAB is the perfect thing to make its way into the asuran culture.

1up but make it a reoccurring town event not a continuous one. I think the bi-yearly is a good idea.

I would like for them to have things like this to do in each town eventually so that you have something to do each month in one of the towns. Currently we now have 5 starter cities and Lions Arch. So they could have events twice a year in each city and that way run an event each month in one city. If they add another starter city with a new playable race, perhaps they could leave Lion’s Arch out of the mix.

Edit: or just leave it in continuously like the keg brawl is now.

1UP!

I love jumping puzzles. I love old games. I love having both those things, rolled into one, and inserted as a fun mini-game in my favorite MMO. Personally, I can’t see any reason not to keep it as permanent content. I mean, it has great potential to be expanded upon (look at all those worlds we’ve yet to play!) and was received extremely well by the community.

I believe it should stay only as long as it is accomodated for for a single player mode.

The premise alone promotes exploring and going at our own pace, so groups don’t work in my opinion.

Game Over

This content is terrific and entertaining, but it’s also vastly jarring compared to practically anything else in the game world. I loved the April Fool’s jokes in Guild Wars (everyone looking like Gwen, swapping sizes with our minipets, stick figures, etc.), and this dungeon keeps that amazing theme of creativity and fun and gives me very good feelings about future April 1st updates and, in general, the sense of fun among the developers.

However those previous jokes weren’t permanent. In my opinion this content is even less tied to the world, Moto’s backstory being just a way to shoehorn it in, than the Halloween and Winter holiday events and should definitely not be permanent when even those events are not.

I was kind of hoping to see goofy balance updates, but the SAB has been fun enough on its own.

1UP Keep this thing in the game. Why? Oh, jeez, where do I begin?

- It’s fun, and people enjoy it. Isn’t that reason enough?

- If you disable it after April 30th, then people who pick up GW2 afterward will have no experience with it at all.

- I’m assuming the idea is to make this a once-a-year “April Fools” event? Except, a year is a long time. By the time next April 1st rolls around, we’ll all have forgotten how to play this thing, how the levels are laid out, how it plays, etc. And we’ll have these Baubles and Buable Bubbles and Coins clogging our banks for a whole year, completely unused — unless of course we destroy them before then, which pretty much kills our incentive to excel the next time the event occurs.

- Obviously, this was created with the intention of being expanded upon. Release a new level once in a while, to maintain interest in this minigame over the long term.

- People want a chance to win these cool “Super Weapon” skins, but Bauble Bubbles are not the easiest thing to come by. By restricting Super Adventure Box to one month only, you’re basically forcing us to grind this one activity ad nauseum — either that, or throw gold at the Trading Post like a sucker for the weapon skins we want. Let this be a fun, laid-back activity people can do in a relaxed fashion, for fun — don’t make it a mad race to get the most hurried “enjoyment” out of it before it disappears.

- Frankly, this is the coolest thing an MMORPG has ever done, and it makes you look good as developers. It shows that you get the heritage of games, and it’s an avenue for you to show off your awesome level design skills without being bogged down by the endless profession and skill complications found in the normal game. It’s good, pure fun. In a way, this minigame is a powerful statement about ArenaNet, and about the potential of GW2. It makes the game that much more whimsical, as if anything could happen at this point. People should pay attention to this game, and S.A.B. casts a long shadow over other, more monotonous MMOs on the market.

- Removing this minigame after a month makes no sense at all. It’s a non-sequitur. Who designs a cool area of a game, and then thinks “Okay, so let’s just nuke this so nobody can play it anymore, after a month or so.” You don’t do this with any other jumping puzzles, aside from holiday events. You don’t do this with dungeons. Rather than asking “Why keep it?” you should be asking “Why remove it?”

- I have kind of a pie-in-the-sky dream idea. Since Super Adventure Box is a relatively simple kind of game compared to the rest of GW2, how about releasing a Level Editor, and letting players design their own S.A.B. worlds? Let the community vote on our favourites, hold regular contests, hand out gems or items as prizes for the best creations. Come on, this would be an amazing feature, and it would pretty much ensure GW2’s prominence in the gaming media for quite some time. Don’t let Super Adventure Box become a temporary one-off, quirky chapter in GW2’s history — let it shine at its fullest potential!

He/She’s not necessarily saying you’re dead wrong, but rather bringing up a valid counter-claim to your reasoning. Its intention is to give you another perspective, or scrap of logic that could possibly get you to think “huh, that is a good point…” If, however, you have an equally good counter-counter-claim, then speak it out. There’s no harm in debate, as long as it stays reasonable and at a mature, responsible level. He/She had no intention of provoking you or ruffling your feathers. When he/she said

I fail to see why others should not be allowed to carry on playing it just because you’ve got bored of it.

He/She was, again, simply confused with your reasoning — and is, in a round-about way, asking you to explain yours. You don’t have to, but doing so would provide a better view of the opposing ideologies, and allow others to form or modify their own opinions while looking at a bigger picture.

May Raven guide you.
