I understand that you guys down there at A-net wanna keep us all entertained and feeling that the game has a direction but why release 2 events simultaneously? We have enough on our plates as it is with WvW season 1 + the Halloween events and achievements. Don’t you think it would be easier on us and you to space them apart, not only would it give us time to complete the achievements but it would let you guys make sure that at all times there is something going on in the gw2 world. I only speak for myself and guild members as I’m leader of a 400+ member guild but think most would agree with what I’m talking about. I just find it all to be confusing and too clumped together.

Because it is quite unusual for the whole world to just stop because a holiday or something is going on?

From a strategic point of view it is quite smart of the Krait/NC/Scarlet to make their move during Tyria’s Halloween Celebration, in order to take people unaware.

Very much this.

If anet wants to create a truly living world, they will need to work into having more than one thing going on at a time. The rest of the world does not stand still just because some other event is happening.

Thus far we have only seen human holidays, but what about the other races? What about the other things happening in the world? Scarlet and her machinations are but one facet. There are other threads they could tug as well. You have the corruption with the council, you have the other dragons which they could spin a subplot off from, we have any number of things the priory is investigating, we have all the little plots for the LS characters (rox, braham, etc).

The list could go on, but those are just some quick ones off the top of my head. However, I highly doubt we’ll ever get to a ‘truly’ living world, where events happen concurrently. Not because anet can’t manage it, but because their players won’t let them.

Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.

Look up “Christmas Truce” during World War 1. It does happen.

Yes, it does happen. However, it’s the exception, not the rule.

Can someone explain to me ap hunting? I personally dgaf about how many ap i have. I want them to make me log on because they put out good meaningful permanent content, not because i need to get these 100 ap.

Amen brother.

It used to be like that, achievement-whoring was a niche thing that only few really did then they added 2 week patches, leader boards, and chests at milestones now its mainstream and everyone (mostly) does it in mass just because its temporary and has “rewards” tied to it.

The only people that I can assume find it truly enjoyable are zombie-like addicts. : /

Yeah it’s not that much to do really. If you aren’t an achievement point hunter, it’s hard to find anything to do with this update, since that’s ALL this update is. The argument that there is too much to do has got to be the single dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.

Don’t play GUILD wars without a GUILD!

I think all races could stand to come together to celebrate the glory of Meatoberfest!

All other activities should of course cease to give everyone time to properly appreciate this event.

I’d have to disagree with the OP. Personally, I was done with the Halloween stuff a few days after the release of that content. The only purpose the Labyrinth or Halloween stuff has for myself is to try and get as much Candy Corn and other mats as possible, but that loses it’s fun after about 30 minutes of farming….

This new content gives more options for stuff to do and is a good break from WvW and gathering my Ascended mats.

There’s a difference between being entertained and being occupied.

Basically Anet is keeping us occupied. We have nothing to do so they give us things to do, because otherwise we might stop playing and if we stop playing we stop buying things. They’re forgetting that this is a game and that games should be entertaining.

I’m being entertained while being occupied. It can happen.

You should stop lumping a whole community in with your personal opinion. If you feel like you’re only being occupied and not entertained, you should most likely word your statement a little differently.

It’s simple math: three sets of checklists to complete are three times as entertaining as one set of checklists to complete.

To fail to appreciate that is to fail to appreciate the brilliance of the Living World.

What has this living story brought to us?
A 3 minute solo instance, going around the map to press F and Zergs where people yell at other people for attacking champions that are not corrupted yet. What else?

I’m not saying I’m not entertained sometimes.
I’m saying, instead of releasing so many half-a**ed updates so fast they could take more time and come up with better stuff.

Cuz they have a 2week release schedule and already have the next event planned and it’d be a week late if they waited for Halloween to end. It’d throw the entire LS schedule into dismay.
