Guild Wars 2

The question that has to be asked:

Will the tower be permanent content?

At least this update looks sort of promising, maybe it has not a total failure of a villain.
Finally a new skill – our first horizontal progression so to say.

Will it last, or will it be another thing to be forgotten after two weeks?

I hope it will be permanent, and open content

Well it is pretty big complect in old zone, I hope couple of greatsword hits won’t collapse it leaving no trace of it ever being there.

With all the things disappearing all the time, a tower more or less would not be too suspicious.

Honestly, I feel it’s such a waste to get rid of all the content after such short time, but the Living Story rule seems to be: It is patch day again, be gone old content.

I think eventually it will be defeated but the broken down tower will remain, then anet can add LS on fixing the dmg done by the tower itself and new players can wonder what happen in that tower in the middle of the lake so long ago.

You have to remember anet is trying to push out a living world so in a sense the time moves forward hence its why not everything can remain as is forever, just like wars and empires of our past, things change and move on.

So sad and so true.
They could have permanently added some decent dungeons and later expanded on them, but it seems like they don’t want the core game to permanently change. Which is very odd after propagating a “Living World” and “permanent changes to the game world”.

I hope it stays. The daily skill point “node” for the meta seems awesome as well. The question is: will the Quartz Crystals make a return? I missed Bazaar of the Four Winds, and since it was only a temporary content (I’m not a fan of those) where you could acquire Quartz Crystals, it does not make any sense that this is mentioned.

It’s not a “daily” skill point. It says it’s ‘like any place of power’ meaning you will only be able to use it once.

Anyone who completed the Bazaar has a quartz node in their home instance, having a place of power right next to it will be a convenience. And yes, Bazaar will be a repeating event with the quartz returning, and even possibly the personal node again. We just don’t know when.
