Now, I know a lot of people are asking for something for compensation because of the rollback. I have a different suggestion on what could be done. Make a reason why it happened in game, it can be whatever reasoning you want. However, I have a suggestion.
It’s obvious that something to do with rolling back time should be connected with time travel and whatnot. Not to mention that replaying season 1 has been asked for many times.. So some Asura (or someone tinkering with Asuran inventions) is doing research on what happened in the past and messing with time ’caused yesterdays issues. Now it may be awhile for this individual to actually allow you to come with them to replay history
So there were about twenty or so releases for season 1, and not counting repeated (SAB, Wintersday, Halloween, Queen’s Jubilee) or permanent additions (Tequatl, Fractured) there are 17 releases, which easily can fit into a yearly schedule of two weeks each with plenty of time for holidays and whatnot.
Here is my suggested Calender in order of releases:
The Lost Shores – May 8 – May 21
Flame and Frost – May 22 – June 5
The Secret of Southsun – June 5 – June 18
Last Stand at Southsun – June 19 – July 2
Dragon Bash – July 4th – July 3 – July 16
Sky Pirates of Tyria – July 17 – July 30
Bazaar of the Four Winds July 31 – August 13
Cutthroat Politics*1 – August 14 – August 27
Queen’s Jubilee – August 28 – Sept 10
Clockwork Chaos – Sept 11 – Sept 24
Tequatl Rising*2 – Sept 25 – Oct 8
Halloween – Oct 9- Nov 2
Twilight Assault – Nov 3 – Nov 16
Blood and Madness – Nov 17 – Nov 30
Christmas Dec 1 – Jan 20
Tower of Nightmares – Jan 21 – Feb 3
Canthan New Year*3 – Feb 4 – Feb 17
The Nightmares Within – Feb 18 – March 3^
The Origins of Madness – March 4 – March 17
The Edge of the Mists – March 18 – March 31
April Fools: Super Adventure Box April 1st – 9
Escape from Lion’s Arch – April 10 – April 23
Battle for Lion’s Arch – April 24 – May 7
*1 Cutthroat Politics is more or less just a continuation of the Four Winds, without actually counting the votes this time around. Perhaps have one release the Cutthroat Politics and one the Festival of the Four Winds from the beginning of season 2
*2 Tequatl Rising is not necessary and can be absorbed into halloween time, or ran for achievements, maybe with Fractured! too.
*3 Time slot subject to change yearly with The Nightmares Within or Tower of Nightmares depending on the Chinese New Year
^ This time slot will have an extra day every leap year
Primarily, people just want two things, to be admitted to that they were wronged (even if they really weren’t and were unavailable to play the entire time the game was down) and to get something in return for it. This something isn’t required to be something of value, but just something. And as they say, it is the thought that counts when giving a gift, so something like this would be much better than a gift of dye packs or something else that more or less seem like a fruit basket type of gift, that said, a title and a skin or two would also work if enough work was put into tying it with the rollback, though then we are getting back into the problem with material gifts.
And before someone says something, I know that they can’t just reload the patches with those updates in them since there is so much more, and same with some of the maps that have changed, and that even if they could it would still take some time to code irregardless.
