Anet released a bunch of limited event item in the past. What’s the guess on if Anet will bring them back. Obviously Anet have brought a few items back already like the rocket backpack, and monocle in the lion’s arch invasion.

Also players from other region like China will want those past event skin also, and Anet says the game client will be in sync.

My guess is Anet will bring those past event item back, what’s others guess.

Over the life of the game, most items will be available more than once.

GW has been around, what, ten years now? And the servers are still on. There is no reason to believe GW2 will be around at least this long. Past events and limited-availability items will be revisted once and most likely several times over its life span.

No idea, I don’t play it either. But they have already done so in GW2 within 2 years, think ahead 4 years and what do you think will happen?

I dont’ know what will happen.

The reason I asked because there was a developer tracker saying they wont’ bring past event item back because they thought it is unfair to the player at that time. But they actually did bring past skins back, so I guess there is a change of game direction.

I hope they did bring the items back. And actually makes the item “permanent”. For example sell the item for blade shard. Use some sort of system like the you can trade Zhaitaffy to jorbreaker for dragon wings. So that’ll cap the price but won’t fluctuate the price. So people won’t spend a huge sum of money on a skin which will drop in price the next day because Anet decide to re release it again.

Yes, circumstances and decisions change over time. If you read those statements carefully, they usually avoid absolute statements like “we will never do this” in favor of ambiguous statements like “we have no plans to do this.”

Likewise, we do not get to know what happens at the company, what changes there are to management, the needs of the game, or decisions from higher up. Managers can be replaced with someone who feels differently from his predecessor, proposals and plans can be reconsidered, and financial or technological changes can make previously unattractive options viable.

That’s the problem I have with the “manifesto” quotes. Just because someone said something once doesn’t mean it will always be so.

In GW1, they didn’t bring back exclusive items (festival hats) until they quit development.

The reason I asked because there was a developer tracker saying they wont’ bring past event item back because they thought it is unfair to the player at that time.

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.

To be fair, he was talking about bringing it back as a permanent addition. They brought it back as a limited time RNG.
