Honestly, now, or a year from now, SAB will be back.
I don’t regret buying that coin, as it got me threw the tribulation modes. I’m definitely far from happy about the long gaps we have from one period of time we get to play SAB , to the next time we get to play. Seems way to long, for something as entertaining as it is.

Personally I think it’s pretty disgusting and cringe-levels of pathetic that any game company would have cash shop items designed for content in their game, and then take that content away from the players even though many have purchased cash shop garbage for content they can’t even play! That’s just scummy, end of story.

Arenanet, get your head out of your butt’s, seriously. This is absurd. I personally hate SAB but I hate the fact you’ve done this far more. Just make your customers happy, is it really that hard of a concept to understand?

Jebus … it’s these kind of things that makes it to where it’s not so mind blowing anymore as to why the game has other such atrocious issues like kittened balance in PvP, and from upcoming changes, I’m afraid it might just get worse. I don’t even want to know what Revenant class is going to do to this game as far as PvP is concerned -.-;;

This post is far too big to read everything that’s been written here, but the first page and the last one here sum it up pretty well I believe.
I really liked SAB when it was available. I was still new to this game back when it was last available and me and my friends stayed up all night ’til 5AM playing SAB. It was hilarious.

I absolutely feel for the people here that are disappointed in not seeing SAB return. I don’t have the energy to talk about it here, but I admire the ones that do, because talking and making a note when something is a problem is a way to get something fixed. Just staying quiet won’t change anything, so big bow to you guys!

There is, however, one thing I must say in Arena Net’s defense and it’s that they are most likely understaffed. Severely.
If you’d take a look here http://www.arena.net/ and check “Careers”, you can see what positions they are hiring and they have been doing so non-stop for quite a long time. Just look at the list: “General Programmer”, “Game Play Programmer”, “GAME CONTENT PROGRAMMER”. I can’t claim I know exactly what’s going on in their offices, but I believe if they had enough people, they’d assign some to manage other aspects of the game, such as SAB. It’s just that they have to make do with the little they have and prioritize and currently #1 in their task list is Heart of Thorns.

I’d apply myself, unfortunately I don’t qualify – I lack the experience. But I bet there are at least some who would or some that know someone who would. So why not go for it and make content for the game you love.

EDIT: Ehm, no, the point of this post wasn’t to advertise job in Anet. Main point was that they seem to lack people to do everything that’s needed. Applying was just a suggestion

The problem with this is that while yes, they might be too understaffed to develop SAB, it would take one employee about fifteen minutes to come on here and explain why W1 and W2 aren’t active.

If there are reasons SAB can’t be turned back on, fine. No one expects the impossible, and SAB shouldn’t be at the top of ANet’s priority list. However common courtesy to paying customers should be . Not telling us why we don’t have access to a service we paid real money for is shocking behaviour. Inserting the minis into the BLCs the day before the anniversary took this to an entirely new level.

A delay is both defensible and even expected at times. Giving a middle finger to your customers after making them wait over a year and a half for content they paid for is inexcusable.

Yep, I completely agree. Part of the reason why I don’t participate actively in this thread is because it feels like talking to a wall.
Staying quiet and not giving an answer the players deserve is not acceptable and I didn’t deny it anywhere. Just tried to approach one aspect of a much bigger problem. Hope it’s OK

Oh I get it, I wasn’t trying to argue against you. My issue is that it is often good to look at both sides of an argument, and it is very tempting to try to say something like you did in defending ANet’s behaviour. However, in this instance, their behaviour is not defensible. SAB being active may, or may not, have good reason. ANet’s treatment of their paying customers however simply is not okay. Even if one accepted the (ludicrous) premise that they couldn’t take fifteen minutes to explain why W1 and W2 are closed, they actually took that time to insert the SAB minis in a massive middle finger to fans.

I think it is rather naive to assume that people would be content with a post explaining why SAB was not active.

They would see the post, rage about how that is the worst reason ever and then go back to business as usual in this thread.

That’s unsurprising, as you seem determined to think the worst of players.

However, your assumption is founded on the idea that all players are unreasonable, which is false. Many players are reasonable, and if given a good explanation, will accept it (although many will remain angry at the year and a half it took to give). If it isn’t a good explanation, then W1 and W2 shouldn’t be closed.

This, people are leaving, people are bored, people have nothing to do, SAB is made they could put it back so that people can try to finish it etc, but they don’t, is there really a feasible reason for it, other than we don’t want too,

I think since the launch of GW2 ( I personally feel ) it was the most underhanded shady business move they have done by offering the infinite coin ( WHICH a lot of people bought, how many would have bought it if they new SAB wasn’t coming back ) then decided to remove SAB and then state we might bring it back in the future when we are ready, ( Its never coming back people ) but by saying it might be back, they can get around the entire refunding of them infinite coins, completely shady.

As its not coming back, they should offer on the TP the exchange for the infinite coin for gems, so that people can get the gems back for something they bought in game that will never beable to use again, then ANET can finally bury the SAB into the past, and forget about it.

“People will rage” – is there anything you can’t apply that to?

Arenanet had better cancel Heart of Thorns, just in case.

If only there were some kind of benevolent patrician on the forums who could deal with their concerns..

This. Not to mention my impossible dream of there being some kind of powerful — probably alien — technology they could use to, oh, I don’t know, delete angry posts that cross the line of civility or to otherwise moderate these threads. This power of, shall we say, “moderation” would probably have to be wielded by ancient beings of immense and unfathomable power.

As much goodwill as the livestream about traits bought from me, personally, it’s still not enough to make me even consider pre-ordering HoT. I mean, look at what happened to all the people who pre-ordered SAB.

In what way is this not a realistic interpretation of exactly the way people are acting and have constantly acted about just about anything in this game.

Your assumption is predicated on the idea that reasonable players are the ones that respond the most and loudest. It isn’t. The nut jobs are the ones that come out of the woodwork to flip chairs when ANet speaks of anything short of, “This is happening, and it’s happening right now.”

I have no doubt we would see the usual suspects come in and say, “Thank you ANet for the information, I feel a lot better knowing you’re thinking about us.” That would take less than a page to devolve into, “Why does ANet lie about everything, they’re terrible people and they kicked my dog.” It takes nothing more than observation to come to this conclusion.

On this, though it has been stated many times already: If it’s been bugged to oblivion and that is their reason for Worlds 1 and 2 not being active (unlikely imo, not that much has changed), they could just post to let people know. [insert ~51st “but rage!” reply below]

Unlikely? It’s practically guaranteed. Josh and team shouldn’t have been able to make SAB, they didn’t think it could work. They cheated the functionality has hard as they could to make it work. As such the major changes to many systems throughout the game are basically certain to have broken necessary functionality in SAB.

Here is the problem, though. If they tell us, SAB is bugged all to hell, then they have to deal with, “so when are you going to fix it.” Simple answer, they have more important things to do right now than that. But that answer isn’t good enough. They can’t tell us that. If they say in the future we’re right back to where we started. If they tell us nothing then we’re in that impasse. If they tell us the details then it’s not goo enough. Ultimately, not saying anything at all, regardless, still remains their best solution, where or not you like it.

I doubt it’s severely broken (unless you think adding things to gem store breaks content) but we’ll assume it is for the sake of addressing anet’s communication issue here. How is everybody posting “What on earth is happening with SAB? Hello? Anet? Is anyone there?” a better solution than “When are you going to fix it”? At least with the latter there is some vague relationship between customer and company at work; leaving customers to scream into the abyss probably isn’t the greatest form of customer service.

Oh, I’m not saying it’s good. I would rather they be more open. Personally I’d like them to just unleash Josh and let him tell us everything they don’t want us to know. Those were the best times.

I think this is a poor system they’re using, I just understand why they’re doing it.

If I could have my way they would not be going all in on HoT. They would have a cluster of small groups working on content like SAB and minor unrelated one time events that don’t matter but just something to do. Maybe a Moot, like the one you start the Norn in, or Meatoberfest in full bloom. Lore stuff where there can be special events, but when it’s gone it won’t matter. But if people really like it they can do again, like SAB. I suspect they could lose 21 people or so, three groups of seven, without doing irreparable damage to the expansion they haven’t even announced a release date on.

It took seven people to make SAB, let seven people make SAB functional again.

I don’t understand. Were people actually still clinging to some kind of misguided idea that as long as the minis were available SAB might get ninja patched or something? They weren’t connected. It was just something ANet did in a poorly planned and implemented way of giving us something for April Fools that was SAB related. It was never coming back this month.

There has been no retraction on the statement that it will return, though. Simply that it will not be before HoT. If HoT hasn’t come out yet, which I’m pretty certain it has not, then there is no room to be expecting SAB. Once HoT is out, then feel free to start counting the days. Until then, keep the dream and the thread alive.

if it wasnt coming back, then they shouldnt have released the minis that are themed for it (and only it) and that they have only released at the same time in the past (twice). rereleasing the super minis on the anniversary of the SAB without releasing the SAB (or even intending to) is a cruel joke in bad taste and deserves to be called out.

That wasn’t a question. I know there is a question mark at the end, and that might be confusing, but he isn’t actually looking for an answer to something here. Nor is he in the dark about the why, short of maybe why people actually think the way they do despite all reason.

Funny. People raged like mad that they were added to the BLC. Now ArenaNet apparently listened and removed them, and now that is wrong as well?

i didnt rage, i was super excited. cuz maybe SAB. but then SAB didnt come. and it kept not coming, while the minis laughed at me and teased me and reminded me that my favorite content is in anets mind, but they have better things to do. its not wrong that anet put them in, its not wrong that anet removed them. its wrong that anet allowed them to be accessible without also allowing SAB to be accessible.

Sorry, but all this sounds like it’s on you, not ANet.

yeah, maybe i just shouldnt have any expectations.

or maybe anet shouldnt help me create those expectations by being consistent with their actions.

I spent alot of gold and gems to get the SAB minis because I want the Super Assassin mini very badly. Well I managed to get the ones I needed before they removed them from the chests.

Only thing is.. now i have to wait for SAB to return(if it ever does) just so I can get a continue coin to put in the forge. It sucks that the coins are account bound. Bunch of friends still have coins. All I need is 1! >:|

I fee like this is really the biggest mistake ANet has made. The number of things they’ve made account bound that really didn’t need to be.

I’m pretty sure they still drop from jumping puzzle chests.

Yup, I missed out on the last SAB cause of personal reasons. Ever since then seeing the mini assassin around I kick myself, cause i’ve always wanted it. So them adding the minis to the chest recently gave me hope I’d FINALLY be able to get it. If they never release SAB again and i can’t get that continue coin, them returning those minis will be the worst thing they could have done. >.<

They don’t, it was only a thing while SAB was available. I have 9 characters parked on JPs, the only thing that drops from them, that shouldn’t is the Winterfest thing for those that still haven’t gotten the star, but completed the quest.

Basically this. ANet are making it harder and harder to get any kind of hype or optimism for the game going.

Dear Mike O’Brien

Thank you for creating ArenaNet and the world of Guild Wars.
Unfortunately GW1 and GW2, has ruined my enjoyment of playing other MMOs.
Why did you have to create so many enjoyable contents?
How am I suppose to play other MMOs without these content?
What content am I talking about?

This list here:

Dynamic Events.
Personal Story.
Living Story (Season2+)
Story Dungeon
Exploreable Dungeon
Mini Dungeons
Fractal
Jumping Puzzles
Points of Interest
Vista Challenge
Skill Challenge / Hero Challenge
Guild Challenge
Guild Bounty
Guild Puzzle
Guild Rush
Unlocking Waypoints
Holiday Events
sPvP
PvP (Stronghold) MOBA Style
WvW – RTS Style
World Boss Events
Crafting System – Fast/Easy exp
Gathering – which gives exp
Achievements
SUPER ADVENTURE BOX

Do you realize how hard it is for me to play other MMOs that lack any of the content above that you have created? Do you know how bad it feels now playing those games with traditional quest system where you accept a quest from one NPC to kill 10 rats and go back for exp/loot just to level up? Or repeat same dungeon with only 1 path over and over again? Well I can tell you right now Mike O’Brien… I have to force myself to play those other games but when it comes to GuildWars2… I’m having so much fun playing that I loose track of time and miss my bedtime schedule.

Mike O’Brien, do you know which content on my list that I really want to play but can’t in my own convenience? SUPER ADVENTURE BOX…. (SAB)

SAB is something that captured many people’s hearts.
It was a content that deserves to be permanent. It is another unique content, ANOTHER REASON to BUY GW2… Another Fun Thing to do in game! Another way to play the Game! Another way to look at MMOs. Another way to look at the word, “FUN”.

GW2 is the Only MMO that has unique and enjoyable content that lets you play how you want and what you want and this is what I love about the game.

So I’m going to speak for those of us who love SAB:

Please Mike O’Brien.
Please let us have SAB back…
Please let it be permanent.
Please Boss-Leader of ArenaNet, we love you so much but we will LOVE YOU EVEN MORE If you do.

<(^-^)> Hugs
Let the Super Adventure Begin!

If you love a Story based game with a game play of Mario, Zelda, Metroid, and Action RPG all in an MMO World where you can play with many people at once, then GW2 is the game to play.

HoT expansion is going to be heavily inspired by old school games and SAB is inspired by it too. I really think ArenaNet quality games is amazing. This is why I am trying to make my voice heard to the Founder, the Boss-leader of ArenaNet in hopes we can have SAB back for good for those of us who truly love this part of the game they have created.

There are NO MMOs that can make ArenaNet Quality games.
We have Mike O’brien to thank for help creating this wonderful game company with such high quality games with no subscription or pay-to-win scheme. I hope Mike O’brien and the Team at ArenaNet would decide to bring SAB back because truly it is one content that is loved by many, including me. =)

Why not write how much you love the game and send it directly. Forums are less personal and not always the best way to get heard. I doubt he gets much time to see the forums regularly

In which case it will get burnt to the ground a few times, and sacked by a couple of barbarian hordes and other miscellaneous armies. Maybe that’s what’s happening! Just as they get it nearly ready another disaster happens.

Fire up the Hyperbowl ma, we’re going to town!

Would you like some hard cheeze with your sad whine?

I believe ArenaNet does check the Forums and even if they dont respond to everything, they do read it the very least and that’s what counts for me. =)

You know what content I miss playing?

CANTHA!
CRYSTAL DESERT!
ELONA!

(in that order)

Me hopes they bring them back.

Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
