Guild Wars 2

Perhaps this information slipped from me somewhere? Was it specified?
Is Aetherblade Retreat a permanent addition to the game or will it be taken down after some time? If so, when?

Hi, taken from the event’s page on the GW2 site, we still have like 2 weeks:

“New Story Dungeon: Aetherblade Retreat – June 25-July 9”

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/releases/june-25-2013/

Hope it helps.

Ah, information “hidden” right at the header. Sometimes most visible place gets overlooked. Thanks.

Anyway, thats a very lame news, at least IMO. I like the dungeon very much. I think its better from the Molten Facility. And again TWO WEEKS, only? I cant fathom why Arena is doing this. Very dissapointing. Oh well…

They plan on making the living story dungeons such as MF and this new one as fractals (though they are making MF shorter and ??? about AR’s length)

I read that bit by Colin Johanson but it all sounded kind of uncertain. Content in an MMO should expand, not cycle. At least in my opinion. Not to mention, imagine someone going for vacation right now. Its just two weeks, they miss it and then all they get is the middle finger. Even if we should accept the concept, 2 weeks is just too short for a non-cyclic (ie. holiday events) content.

GODkitten IT.

Another good dungeon goes into the pile for fractal use later on.

Its a shame, although when they arrive in fractal form I guess itll be around the time everyone is relieved to see it again, as I can see many people burning themselves out in the mean time.

Here’s the quote that essentially confirms MF will be a fractal

ColinJohanson.2394:

Any updates to the fractals will need to include additional update to the reward systems as well, agreed.

As for the jet pack, those specific rewards are intended as limited rewards you can only earn during that time, thus making them valuable. It wouldn’t be fair to the people who did earn jet packs for us to bring them back, and suddenly undercut their value entirely.

And yeah that F&F dungeon updated for size would make a good fractal wouldn’t it? =)

He said something about planning to make the more popular story dungeons come back at some point as well (probably through fractals).
