Guild Wars 2

Also, there are new Gear Stats that use Charged Quartz to make them, like Commander and Wanderer.

I agree. There should be more nodes.

the airship for 4 winds already crashed in drytop……
they can’t bring it back without changing something otherwise it will conflict with the lores…..

well, another map created just to be used for a few times.

The four winds could be brought back without the airship. The survivors could regroup there and enlist the players assistance in rebuilding. We did it with Lion’s Arch, more or less.

We could milk the events and story for a year or two. The crash survivors camp could eventually become an outpost in Dry Top.

they can’t change drytop that much because of the living story #2, they need to make sure the living story #2 still works.

yes, they can remove the ship and redesign the map

the problem with LA is that they did it for living story #1, which also means people who joined later will miss that first part of the story which is why people complain and demand permanent content and also make anet see that having a perma content is better for the newer players as well.

Well there is the map bonus option everyone seems to be ignoring

Well, that is an additional source, true, but it’s not a big one: a maximum of 20 quartz crystals per account per day for one week out of 8, if I understand the rules of map bonus reward tracks correctly (and I very well might not). That would translate to 2.5 quartz crystals per account per day on average. ANET is apparently very careful not to flood the marked with quartz again like they did with the Bazaar of the Four Winds…

That is incorrect. Quartz is available 7 weeks out of the 8 week cycle.

week 1 – Iron Marches
week 2 – Bloodtide Coast
week 3 – Dredgehaunt Cliffs

week 5 – Timberline Falls
week 6 – Blazeridge Steppes
week 7 – Harathi Hinterlands
week 8 – Sparkfly Fen

Looking at that list of maps I don’t see much issue with the supply of quartz in the future. The WB train is going to be getting quartz even if they don’t care about quartz. That is an increase to the global supply without anyone going out of their way to do it.

Where are you getting the info that there is a limit to the amount of items you can get through the map bonus system? This is the first time I’ve heard of it but if there is a limit it would probably be easy to hit in Silverwastes.

That is not a problem. The LS2 story steps can use the old DT the same way the personal story uses the old LA.
