Super Adventure Box - Go!
Dragonbrand
I’m not big fan of jumping puzles but it’s kinda ok. On the other hand, I would rather see all this effort put into improving/enchancing/adding stuff to PvP.
Get your logic out of this topic.
There are different teams that program different things. Anet has a lot of devs all working on different stuff. Nothing is being taken away from PvP to do this update.
Something is being taken away from something, resources aren’t free. I appreciate their efforts and perhaps particular devs had some spare time but I would rather see dungeon improvements.
To be honest, I’m not really a fan of spending too much resources on temporary/weird stuff. Anyways, I would rather not to get too deep on this. It won’t really change a thing and I probably get buried with awkward responses.

Few days ago I have decided to try this Living Story content starting from Wayfarer Foothills. Apart from dredge,s invasion or helping refugees I do not know whether to try enroll into its content further. It is as if I had to do some chores.
Today,s event that have started with late 80s commercial, 8bit SNES music, references to ,,older,, games such as Legend of Zelda , Mario 64 looks much better and FUNNIER than the GW2 itself ( sorry Anet). Congratulations ! I really need to find bigger group and try to do this with bigger crowd.
And if someone says that Super Adventure Box is only for ,,35 yo ,, folks I might say that Im – 23 . Very nice idea to introduce younger generations previous views on gaming.
It’s true, we’ve done it with 3 people and people in my guild have soloed. If you do have five people playing, you’ll need five keys to open chests or get past checkpoints. If you don’t, then it scales to the number of people you have playing, at least the chests and checkpoints do.
It would be interesting if a WvW / PvP was played on 8bit playing field as a one-off in the future.
Reminds me of minecraft……a lot….
Do not click this link!
Awesome job. Reminds me of all those games i play….
discusses you thoughts!
Terrible. I used to play guild wars to GET AWAY from this kind of stuff.
I really hate this Stupid Adventure Box. I play this game for an MMO experience. This is just pandering to the social media crowd. What does this have to do with Guild Wars?
Whether or not this is fun is beside the point. They should be using that time to improve the game, not adding side games which serve no purpose to furthering the Guild Wars game. This is just another time waster. If I wanted to play Super Mario I would go buy a Wii.

Exactly. If you want to make platform games, make a platform game.
Don’t make a mmorpg, then stick a platform game in it. I don’t remember the part in Risk where everyone has to go out for a soccer game.
I enjoy it more than the games dungeons.

I HATE dungeons, but honestly I’d rather have dungeons than this. At least high end pve fits into an mmo.

You need to think outside the square. Blizzard have introduced different elements to their MMO – namely farming crops and pet battles – and were overwhelmed at just how popular they were. The die hard WoW players all enjoyed it, its just another option for the player base to take part in some different content. You are by no means ‘forced’ to take part in those game mechanics. Its an option, remember that before complaining.

We could argue the definition of the term ‘MMO’ until the cows come home. In case you are unware, the MMO genre has changed dramatically over the years and will change even more so in the next decade. You seem to be clinging on to the past and can’t or won’t accept change.

Yeah yeah, I know i’m not forced… but it sure is thrust into your face, both in game and out.
Farming crops and pet battles sounds much better imo, but there’s no way i’m touching wow. I love guildwars, I just hate these puzzles.

Actually no, you couldn’t. It’s massively multiplayer online. And roleplaying game is a roleplaying game. Since this is a computer roleplaying game the focus is on stats and numbers rather than the actually role playing, unless you choose to be a role player.
Yeah it’s great playing a game to get away from another type of game only to have the game you’re playing start revolving around the type of game you want to get away from as “an optional diversion”. Just as an example, I don’t see an awful lot of demand for skyrim mods involving platforming.
I know jumping puzzles have lots of fans, but there’s just as many people that despise them, and not a lot of “in the middle” sorts.

Best part about SAB is the advertisement they made, and the 8-bit arrangements of the music.
its cool to be able to change gears once in a while from the fast paced hardcore action of the regular game to the fun hilarious style of the super adventure box. All while still playing GW2 and staying in contact with your in-game friends and guild mates.

I guess that’s a plus. I’m not too fond of pseudo 8-bit things, but this obviously had a lot of work put into it.
LOL wait, fastpaced and hardcore? That’s more what I consider these puzzles, especially when the punishment for failure is more than just a long walk back to the beginning. Regular game is relaxed imo, even in heavy combat.
I’ve been pretty harsh to Anet of late with stuff, but this has been amazingly fun and feels great please add some more parts, its the most fun i’ve had since Halloween..gonna look for the secret spots today
I’m addicted to it..
So you can’t solo it?
Can you solo any Super Boxes? (dungeons)?
I solod the easy mode one, wasn’t too bad.

Good golly. Anet just can’t seem to please people at all, can they? I found the new content an absolute blast. I had a party of two people, we made it to zone three on regular mode(and has a good laugh at our “continue” screen, hah!) It’s a fun new feature.
Fun. You know, what playing games is about? For those of you who don’t like it, it’s a free gift. You don’t have to play it.
I think your character should have been transformed into an 8 bit sprite based on their race, that would have been a nice touch.

How do you get past the 5 player requirement to unlock gates? Is there a way of jumping over to the next portion?
Finished both Worlds. World 2 is so fricking awesome. Keep it coming and never ever take it off. One word can describe it. “Genius”.
Omg I love this!!!
Will they stay forever and become it’s own content?
Yes please!

yes I did get in solo into zone one on the story mode I think.

What about the part in Risk where availability of reinforcements is determined by the attacker’s choice of a round of charades, a drinking contest, or a best 2 of 3 match of Street Fighter?
Or the part where removing an article of clothing counts as a weapon of mass destruction?
You and I play Risk very differently it seems.

The gates adjust themselves to compensate for the player count.
