Guild Wars 2

Anet sold me on mini games before launch implying there will be 20+ activities come launch.. At launch there is only Keg Brawl and no news about more to come. When will others be released?

Yeah I was really disappointed by this too actually.

Back in UO, there were TON of hidden jewels for mini-games. For example you had to kill fast spawning mobs and had 10 sec in between to solve puzzle locks for treasure chests http://uo.stratics.com/content/misc/puzzle.shtml

I miss those days, it seems like it’s something simple they can implement but no games do it

I invented my own mini-game

I think that’s really masochist way to go about mini-game

aha ya i see that 1 getting old real fast.. bar brawl anyone?

yeh they said divinities reach would be full of mini games and so would the other main cities.

Polymock arena is still cut off in rata sum.

maybe by mini games they meant the events system?

Divinity’s Reach has the animal exhibit, the Bar, and a merry-go-round i can’t ride. i did the animal exhibit (too short, though interesting) the bar was so-so (it was empty), and the merry-go-round was not interactable.

the asurans have Golem Chess, which i think is a mini game.

No, they said there would be actual mini-games.. there’s the shooting range in Divinity’s Reach that is still off limits and there were supposed to be others as well.. They mentioned that you’d be able to get “equipment skins” and that “Participation rewards will be on par with the rest of the game”.

Lots of stuff in this game are still a work in progress in my eyes, so much room to grow! I’m really looking forward to seeing this game grow as the years progress. First things first though, Halloween!

They also said each month there will be rotation of events in Divinity’s Reach between the districts where each month a different district would have a festival going on and then themed events as it was going to be the main town of Guildwars 2.

I guess they either scrapped all there plans or will slowly do them over the years as they ran out of time.

Or by activity’s they probably meant yes there’s activities as the shooting range and activities work how they said and designed them and working as intended.

Aka there npc activity’s you can only watch and not partake in.

So I have to say the shooting range etc is working as developers intended and activities are in the game as you an see the shooting range is working if you go there.

Same stuff was said about gw1 also like how the bridge was intractable and destructible and would collapse and change the region in kryta and your story but all we got a cut scene with the white mantle.

This is how developers and companies word and develop things unfortunately and we just need to live with it.
