Started out as such a nice post, but then it just turned into yet another “SAB PLZZZZ”.

All roads lead to SAB

El Sabiablo

So if sab were put into the adventure stuff coming out with HOT, we could feasibly compare completion times with each other right?

RoseofGilead.8907:

Well, I mean, this is the SAB thread.

LanfearShadowflame.3189:

You know what content I miss playing?

CANTHA!
CRYSTAL DESERT!
ELONA!

(in that order)

Me hopes they bring them back.

Technically they can’t bring them back because they have never existed in this game.

Kal Spiro.9745:

Well, I mean, this is the SAB thread.

It was its own thread before it got merged into this.

Kal Spiro.9745:

Then you have obviously not spent enough time on these forums. People will complain about anything. If they announced that SAB was going to be permanently opened the forums would be full of people complaining that SAB is stupid and detracts from their enjoyment of the game because it doesn’t make sense. There are a whole slew of people who find SAB to be immersion breaking and can’t stand the idea of other people who enjoy it being able to play it.

I’ve heard this several times before, but the number of players who’d be angry about SAB having no new content is a fraction of those upset, right now, that it isn’t here. They certainly wouldn’t boycott the game because of it, which people are already doing because of the broken SAB promises.

If you want proof, compare this thread to the reactions to the repeat Wintersday or Halloween content. All people did was grumble a little about the holidays for a month or so. Whereas this thread has been pure disappointment and even hatred for over a year.

No matter how you look at it, it’s in Arenanet’s best interests to just bring World 1 and 2 back if at all possible.

It’s weird. Another Tuesday goes by and I’m still surprised at no news. How is this treatment of customers getting a pass in a company that wants people to buy an expansion this year (maybe)?

I would assume most people simply don’t care enough about SAB to let it effect their enjoyment of the game as a whole.

Not to mention the fact that anyone that actually paid any sort of attention were fully aware that it was temporary content and are now fully aware that it will come back but it is extremely unlikely that it will happen before the release of the expansion, due to lack of resources that can work on it.

i would assume we don’t give a kitten about your useless posts
SAB or llama riot

Yeah, seriously. Why does lordkrall even post here?

Because Wintersday and Halloween come back each year? And are only active for a month?

So what you’re saying is that people complain constantly while it is active, then stop complaining when it goes away. Since it comes back again as expected they don’t have a reason to start complaining about that.

Seems like this is more evidence that I’m right than that I’m wrong.

Not really. The bottom line is the reactions to recycled holidays aren’t nearly as bad as how people are feeling in this thread. So bringing back SAB, even worlds 1 and 2, would be to Arenanet’s advantage from a PR standpoint.

The simple truth is, they don’t have the personnel, nor time to spare on it. They can’t even do what they need to do to fix the HoM so that people can access it again because of HoT, they definitely don’t have the resources to make sure SAB works.

vocal minority

I think adding any sort of repeatable content between now and Heart of Thorns is a good move. It would draw players back and keep players playing, all the while getting that juicy HoT reveal information to make it that much sweeter. Not to mention the gem sales the would generate when releasing SAB with more infinite coins and other SAB related items. Sure, that content was here before, but it’s really nice to have it anyway as that ‘little extra’ to play.

Does anyone know at least why SAB never came back, and if it ever is? Google tells me the good old ’it’s not off the table’ comment about its re-release, but no reasons why it’s gone.

There is a big difference between arguing a point and arguing against a situation. Telling people that ANet doesn’t have people available to do something isn’t the same as telling people that you don’t want something done.

Also, every time I post, regardless of what I say, the SAB thread is bumped to the front page. That’s what actually matters. I support SAB, just look at my sig, of course I do. I just try to be reasonable and look at the situation from every available angle, not just my own bias.

Does your weather rock specifically control the weather? Did your weather rock create the weather in the first place? Is the weather contingent on your weather rock? Because all of those things are true of the relationship between SAB and ANet. As such, when ANet says it will be back I would say it is far more meaningful than whatever your rock has to say on the subject of weather.

While I believe SAB is going to come back eventually (way later than acceptable, and long after many of the fans have left), we do get shouted at a lot on the forum for taking ANet’s word as gospel. I don’t see why that rule changes here, apart from the fact that if they’re clinging on to it as an excuse not to refund the Infinite Continue Coin.

I find it awesome that this thread still stays alive.

Well for one there were plenty of people that disliked it as well, especially world 2.

It is also the matter of it simply not being a case of pushing a button and it will magically work.

I almost want it to come come back just so what I can see what all the kittening fuss is about.

They also don’t have the personnel available right now to do anything that is not related to HoT. that was their choice, whether or not it’s a good one, but it’s the choice they made. HoT or nothing. The only thing that will be worked on and come out before HoT is skill/trait changes, which are also directly related to HoT because of specializations.

This is good: Super Adventure Box is now available to explore on the Tyria 3D map viewer website!

Recreate the tribulation mode experience by closing and reopening your browser every 20 seconds?

5 months since last content, still see no reason why they can’t just open it up and call it a year.

Wow someone worked hard there; impressive.

BUT WAIT: There was a post by That-Shaman on the reddit that he had found some kind of new SAB looking giant bug monster, so the thing isn’t removed entirely from being worked on. If anything, it’s likely a side side side project being worked on during off hours by a few.

No new content? There is that farce of an outfit they just put out. ><

As for reopening Worlds 1 and 2 as they existed before, the best possible explanation I heard for this not happening at the moment was the possibility that changes either recently or in the near future could be effecting their ability to simply “reopen it.”

Also consider that they may be working on it as part of their Adventure system, which was stated as possibly giving rewards on older content like jumping puzzles, or possibly SAB? Which would make it part of something they are working on for HoT. And while I would love a confirmation one way or another, Anet keeps tight lipped about absolutely everything until they bork a livestream and leak something.

Just a voice of reason from a fellow SAB addict WHOS BEEN JONEZING FOR OVER A YEAR NOW…. Y-Y

BTW the World 2 stuff, it was crammed in with a boatload of other meta achievements to do also. And though the worlds were long, I would say they were actually in keeping with the 8-bit games they were meant to emulate, though probably as more of a later level kind of length than world 2/4. :/

I think it was “joke” for that_shaman and all SAB fans, like all these SAB minis in BLC.

I’m actually a little worried that the China launch might interfere with their bringing back World 2, just like the prospect of China is the reason Cantha stopped being a thing.

But China GW2 is supposedly autonomous, so how could that be?

Inimicus.7162:

As for reopening Worlds 1 and 2 as they existed before

It’s still in game (technically) . That file that is used for the Tyria 3D exploration, shows all the collision models for all maps, and it’s saved in our current “.dat” file, within each of our GW2 folders.
SAB is still inside, somewhere, as it was before. Not sure if the Textures for it are there, but more than likely.

They just need to re-instate the content , check for bugs since the last time it was used, then make sure all the globals, Booleans, and other event commands work. Not much more after that.

The way I see it is, they don’t want it open until a new world is ready, or they don’t want it to mess with LW and the expansion story (maybe both).

I don’t see why they just can’t remove it completely from the LW story, and just bring it back out of the blue, anytime they need a content filler (each year), same with other old content.

The only thing that will be worked on and come out before HoT is skill/trait changes, which are also directly related to HoT because of specializations.

And then HoT comes out in let’s say, by the end of August / early September. And as we all guessed, no SAB until HoT.

You can bet your kitten that there will be no LS updates or anything (maybe bugfix updates) for 1.5-2 months. There’s enough new content, be happy with that, so no SAB.

And then… oh, it’s Halloween! Fire up those Lunatic Inquis farming AFK engines for the Return of the Bloody Prince again, who we see for the first time for some reason. Again. SAB? Nope.

And then… It’s Wintersday month! I guess no SAB, eh?

And then, a month’s break. Everyone needs a break sometimes.

And then LS3 will probably start somewhere in 2016 February. And as we all know, SAB doesn’t fit in the LS.

So…

SAB in 2017 maybe?

Could be

I find it awesome that this thread still stays alive.
Some how I fee that Anet just wants it to go away. My only questions is what will they not just open up SAB, since so many liked it?

Well for one there were plenty of people that disliked it as well, especially world 2.

It is also the matter of it simply not being a case of pushing a button and it will magically work.

They also don’t have the personnel available right now to do anything that is not related to HoT. that was their choice, whether or not it’s a good one, but it’s the choice they made. HoT or nothing. The only thing that will be worked on and come out before HoT is skill/trait changes, which are also directly related to HoT because of specializations.

And then HoT comes out in let’s say, by the end of August / early September. And as we all guessed, no SAB until HoT.

You can bet your kitten that there will be no LS updates or anything (maybe bugfix updates) for 1.5-2 months. There’s enough new content, be happy with that, so no SAB.

And then… oh, it’s Halloween! Fire up those Lunatic Inquis farming AFK engines for the Return of the Bloody Prince again, who we see for the first time for some reason. Again. SAB? Nope.

And then… It’s Wintersday month! I guess no SAB, eh?

And then, a month’s break. Everyone needs a break sometimes.

And then LS3 will probably start somewhere in 2016 February. And as we all know, SAB doesn’t fit in the LS.

Well as valve and gabe newell have taught us, if enough people complain about something for long enough big companies might take a notice.

Keep your hopes up. With the responses ANet has given, it’ll be back. When? WHO KNOWS?!?! But… some of us miss it and have a “little” programming knowledge. I posted earlier but it got one response so I’ll assume it got buried in the griping and “chill out” comments…

http://bit.ly/1bEtRrn PM me if you have ideas or suggestions but don’t hate too much as it’s slowly in the works (IRL > Games)

Please bring this back as a boxed set of adventures, that would be super.
Not being able to continue on infinitely has been such a tribulation.

Casting us from the idyllic sunshine filled glades to the light deprived woods.
Leaving us here jumping on mushrooms for the attention of our majesty without a croak.

Hard to be heard over the top of the tempest of responses.
It hurts as we fall rapidly off this steep rocky incline.

The wish to collect baubles again and exchange them for skins might seem infantile.
But do not rob us of our desire to once again swim in sparking pools of baubles.

Our hope can not be vanquished, please allow us to continue jumping.
There is no need to keep this locked in a secret room.

We will be watching this space like owls.
Just waiting for a hoot on its return.

this has summed up the past year for me

Why is this still not returning?

Because they apparently only have resources for HOT right now. No one to spare for anything else

here is an idea. instead of HoT, an expansion’s worth of content with just Super Adventure Box

A SAB Tribulation mode map would be glorious (especially if the hidden paths were somehow randomly generated every match).

People dying here and there, unable to reach a keep or tower. Chaos would ensure. People would burn with rage.

Devs, you already know what to do for the next April 1st.
