Guild Wars 2

I heard from a friend that Anet said they weren’t planning on bringing Super Adventure Box back for a while because it didn’t fit in with their living story plans.

That’s all fine and good, but I’ve literally been holding on to Super Adventure Box tokens for the past 11 months waiting for Moto to come back so I can buy his patterns and make the Storm Wizard/Toad King weapon skins. Now that he’s not coming back for what we can assume is a long while, can we please just get someone selling the Moto’s [Weapon] Design? I have 11 or so SETS of tokens I just want to use.

I know I’ve posted about this a couple times, but I’ve not gotten a response. It’s getting a tad frustrating not being able to spend the items I’ve spent so much time getting.

I’m a SAB enthusiast and spend the entire month playing SAB the last time it was around.
Due to unfortunate circumstances I was unable to spend any of my tokens before the event ran out.
So right now I’m sitting on tokens for 30+ hardmode weapons I’d really like to cash in.
At first I shrugged it off and decided to just wait till april… to no avail.
And with the current future for SAB not looking very bright;

is there any chance that Moto could sell his wares again?

you are not alone
but i doubt we will see moto opening the box or ofering us anything for the next couple of months…

Unfortunately Anet doesn’t seem to want to touch the SAB right now because “libbing stowy is rly gud” and they don’t want to “interrupt the narrative”. Meanwhile I sit, woefully rubbing my thumb over my slightly tarnished infinite continue coin, remembering the good times, while the libbing stowy marches on.

Yeah, my infinite continue coin sits next to my tokens as a sad reminder of fond, bygone days….
Still, I just want the VENDOR back for now. Just let Moto sell his designs again. He’s still standing there in Rata Sum, telling people to come back later. Just open his fundraising dialogue choice again.

As much as people demand SAB I seriously do not understand why it isn’t part of the game, as an offering of “something else to do” if nothing else. I am no big SAB fan, I barely did any of it, but content is content and I just don’t get why it can’t be added as an Asura portal from LA or something.

In fact, let’s elaborate/suggest further. Why not turn the old currency into SAB tokens, like other dungeon tokens. Take the old skins and just recolor them so the old skins stay unique (say purple super weapons, etc.). Now you have new, permanent content: The SAB “dungeon” experience.

I don’t understand the aversion to adding permanent content.

brilliant post as it sums up the SAB issue imo

there does NOT need to be any specific reason for having it, it should just be an active part of the game at all times in Rata Sum, you know for people to have fun, not be funnelled into whatever content the devs have deemed as allowed to be fun.

Think of poor newbies who can’t use downstate skills or play PS. If they happen to get through this portal they might think: Oh noooo GW2 has very bad graphics.

Same here, bought on the gem store the infinite coin (…) and still have lots of tokens to spend.

I have 87 baubles in my bank. I will never ever trash those little pixelated treasures. And the World 1 Boom Box is the best store purchase I ever made – if only I had also bought the World 2 Boom Box.

Maybe I am missing your point, and again I did not play SAB much, but if I recall everyone was upscaled. Also, if it is added to the game as a dungeon type of content you can gate the entry level just like other current dungeon content. Why not make it lvl 80 required, since it would be “end game” oblique fun, not part of living story, etc. The original SAB entry had warnings and acceptance button dialogue as well, similar to Fractals.

I like the idea of adding it to Rata Sum for entry, which is where I believe it was originally located.

Just making sure you knew he was being sarcastic

removing content is never a good idea.

Anet, just put it down.

put the SAB down..

Looks like there’s a lot of interest in bringing back SAB, and while I’m totally for that I’m also concerned it’d take too long for them to bring it back, and just want them to take baby steps.

Vendor first, so they don’t worry about the collectibility of the skins. Then, introduce the SAB as it was before, with old rewards, and look into it being something permanent. Finally, after this living story is over, bring back new worlds, new rewards, new colors and such.

I can’t think of any reason we shouldn’t be able to access moto’s buy window. All the other tickets and things from other living story episodes are still out there and they all still have their respective merchants just in case players need to redeem them for skins. With all the professions getting access to new weapons it only makes sense to let Moto sell the stuff we need to make them.

He’s been standing there in Rata Sum with no source of income for far too long.

Poor guy
