Guild Wars 2

So, I was really sad when the activities were put on rotation… I waited for so long for them to be permanent again but nothing happened..
I keep hearing, when people are bored about the standard contents, “Oh I wish I could play Keg Brawl but it’s not available today…”
I would love to play those with my guild mates again and show them my friends new to the game!
Of course I could write down the rotation and be in game the right day to do so, but unfortunately me and my friends have to struggle to be all together online so catching the rotation of a specific game is really hard for us…
I understand that the rotation is to concentrate the players on just one game at a day but not all the people like all the games! It was working before, there were players enjoying these activities, but we had to renounce to our fun because of people always complaining about little issues ….always…
That happened also for SAB.
If it’s a cool content just leave it as it is! Maybe if you have time to improve it you can switch it in the future but don’t just remove it and leave a big hole like this..
So, PLEASE, PLEASE Anet make the Activities permanent again!
Thanks!

Maybe you and your friends will be able to enjoy the new Adventures; they will be permanently available, as well!

Good luck.

I would like to see this too, when the daily activity is crab toss, I avoid it like the plague, same for key brawl, both have major broken mechanics, and are very unfun to play.

Crab Toss is easy. You just run round for a few minutes completely bewildered about what is going on, get occasionally stomped by giant crustaceans and then you get the credit for the daily completion thing. It’s probably more complicated than that if you actually want to win or something…

We’re actually talking about playing games for fun not for the daily rewards…

I’d like anet to make the activities permanent again, too.

Keg brawl can be a lot of fun! I had some nice games a week ago shortly before the daily reset. Unfortunately most of the time you get AP hunters in your team who either run off with a keg to farm interceptions or score for the enemy team…

For Crab Toss, use the stuff you can get from the crates. Fishing poles are very useful to steal the crab and planks are nice as well. For the offhand I like the Southsun punch to heal myself when the karka hatchlings pick on me while I’m carrying the crab.

The shooting gallery and more activities were schedule to be released with HoT over 6 months ago. We’ll get to see if they’re in the game on HoT released date.

I’d like to have them all permanent access somewhere so I could work on the achievements at my own pace rather than, well this one is the daily activity so I guess I’ll do this one.

I guess I can understand only having one at a time to make sure there are ample people doing them rather than spread out across all of them, but I hate how long crab toss feels.

I miss having them as permanent activites too. I loved running Sanctum Sprint, often by myself, just to pass time. I also miss the times Costume Brawl was a thing…

Yeah, it’s sad how lifeless they’ve made Tyria in a lot of ways. I basically stopped playing activities because of the rotation (whenever I’ve had the urge to play I’ve almost always had the wrong day). But more than that, it took flavour out of the world. Hoelbrak being home to keg brawl made it interesting. Same with crab toss being in Southsun.

A daily rotation in the same place just takes away any possible sense of immersion or feeling like you’re in a living world.

Between activities, the loss of SAB, and the stripping of interesting starter content with the NPE the world just isn’t as alive as it used to be.

I hope some of these things could possibly be added to guild halls.

The ability to start a guild activity so you could have a guild-run game of keg brawl at any time you want, for example.

And some of the other things stupidly taken out of the open world, like having working golem-chess games as a place-able guild decoration.

How can you say that? They redesigned LA so everything would be further apart and require more tedious running around just like a real city. And they put in all those NPCs that stand around the important facilities spouting repetitive and inane chatter, just like real people. If that’s not a living world, I don’t know what is.

Were they really? I don’t remember any notes about that.

/Oh my gosh you mean you can actually play keg brawl?!/

I ran across the npcs talking about when I was exploring Hoelbrak and was disappointed I couldn’t do anything. Afterwards I figured it was just flavor-text and never checked back in about it!

It was on the forums several months ago, Spring 2015.

Yes, you can play it on Sundays! Check it out, it’s my favourite of the activities.
