Guild Wars 2

I was one of those guys who was really hyped about gw2, really hyped, played all the beta tests minus one.

Love the game until the ascended gear introduction that i really dislike… So after a while i took a break and i decided to return now.

I ask some of my friends, whats new and exciting now.

Friend: "Oh dude there’s this really awesome dungeon, SUPER ADVENTURE BOX " it even got a trailer so awesome".

Me: “Oh man cool ,where can i find it?”

Friend: “Oh its gone now, they remove it.”

Me: “What? Really?”

Friend: “But there’s a brand new dungeon, lets do it!”

After a while we finish the dungeon

Friend: “That was awesome, and you are lucky that dungeon is gonna get removed soon too!”

Me: “WHAT? WHY?”

Really, why remove cool stuff, i get the Halloween and Christmas only content.

But why remove those 2? Because of the limited drops? Then keep the dungeon and remove those drops…

I really wanna play and enjoy this game, please Anet, don’t remove the cool and fun stuff.

Super Adventure Box will return, if you’re interested keep your ears to the ground.

I think they’re trying to test out content to see how they can make the world feel more ‘alive’ in that it changes and isn’t constantly the same. This new temporary dungeon (the living story) is the first of its kind, so I think of it mostly as a big experiment to see how well it’s received and whether or not it accomplishes the goal they had in mind for it. As for the Super Adventure Box, I have my suspicions that it will be making a return next year around this time, perhaps with additional levels and weapon skins… but all of this is just my own speculation, haha.

But it doesn’t really feel alive to me. Adventure box is dead :’(

Think a moment… if these things never left, we’d have more and more stuff building up and being run less and less. They’d get old, boring and vacant. This will have the effect of keeping things fresher. Just think, when they announce a return of the SAB it’ll be something anticipated.

The more stuff out there, the less people run each thing. That’s why people have trouble getting runs for certain dungeons.

I mean you can always get runs for like CoF path 1. But not so easy to always get runs for SE path 3, or HoTW path 2.

By making this dungeon temporary, people flock to it and do it. And the best rewards from the dungeon, which are rare, have a great deal more value this way. They can introduce this cool jet pack and only a few people will ever get it. It increases their value exponentially.

So if you’re lucky enough to get one you can keep it (like I would) or put it on the marketplace. The mini goes for a lot too.

And there’s going to constantly being new stuff coming out. This isn’t the last thing we’ll see. There’ll be something new every month.

That doesn’t make any sense… Now after some months i have returned and one new dungeon got removed, and the other got a few days left… So the game is in the same state as before. No reason to keep playing.

So, after the new dungeon get removed im guess im going away again. No new content pve wise.

I don’t get how this will keep it fresh, its not fresh its gone. Now we won’t do it because we don’t wanna. We won’t do it because we can’t. And that’s bad.

More and more stuff building up is good. You can choose what to do.

Then why not remove those drops and keep the dungeon?

Hi everyone,
