So it’s a few years into SAB, and I have a ton of Bubble Baubles, but nothing useful to spend them on. It seems like the same stuff as last year, just the boombox and the same blue weapons we’ve always had. They need to open up new options for things to spend them on each year, for players that have already picked up the existing stuff.

“So it’s a few years into SAB”
It came out in 2013 but this is only the second year of its return…..
But anyway
2016:
Added Fancy Proprietors and Fancy Furniture Coins in hidden furniture shops
Added guild decorations
Added Kaiser Snake weapons
2017:
Added the Super Adventure Reward Track
Added new guild decorations
Added Crimson Assassin weapons and Tokens.
You got all the achieves and got all the new decorations and weapon skins? That’s great. And there will probably be more next year.

No thanks, we need more things for obsidian shards first.

I’m not saying they aren’t adding “stuff,” I’m saying that they aren’t adding “stuff which can be bought using Bubble Baubles.” The stuff they add doesn’t even have to be brand new to the game, it just has to be stuff which is not currently available for BBs, so there’s good things to spend BBs on when you already have all the blue weapons.

Yes, I have not gotten to the 1-1 furniture shop, because it’s guarded by those death spikes, and I won’t. But still, we need things that can be bought using Bubble Baubles.

There’s philosopher’s stones and mystic crystals. Saves players having to use spirit shards, and with how big of a deal players make about having to unlock the raid mastery, it should be a welcomed option.
Or Anet can just do what they did with fossilized bugs in DT and let you exchange them for a generic loot bag.

There are already uses for them. The fact that you don’t like the options doesn’t mean that they need to be expanded. Considering you’re not willing to unlock the existing option, I’m not sure why ANet should be willing to expand the offering.
SAB is designed as a primarily stand-alone activity. It’s supposed to be (and is) lots of fun for a lot of people. Does it really have to be rewarding in every possible way?

I already have thousands of spirit shards and can get way more philosopher’s stones and mystic cyrstals than I could ever use, there need to be actually USEFUL and INTERESTING rewards that can be bought using the Bubble Baubles. Jut generic junk, INTERESTING stuff.

If you’re talking about the coins, that involves getting past the masochist spikes. I’m sorry if I’m just not into that sort of thing. If you could just buy the furniture coins out right, then sure, that might work, but they’re locked behind Tribulation style BS so that’s not a factor in the discussion.
SAB is designed as a primarily stand-alone activity. It’s supposed to be (and is) lots of fun for a lot of people. Does it really have to be rewarding in every possible way?
Yes, because that’s how content works. You do the content, you get a reward. I’m currently sitting on about 450 Bubble Baubles and have absolutely nothing to spend them on. What’s even the point?

You’re confusing need with want. There doesn’t need to be any reward at all for doing a fun, festival activity. It does have rewards you can buy already. If you don’t want those rewards the game doesn’t need to give you more. You can always go do something else instead if the rewards aren’t what you want.
UH No. Halloween items need more stuff to be used for, literally no reason to even farm ToT bags cause the contents are useless
Could have something like 35 bauble for 1 assassin coin, or something like that, not too easy to get but at least give a way that is not locked behind Yet Another Timegate™
That’s now 2 sets locked behind timegate. Okay Kaiser can be obtained through other ways (RNG god or super super rich) but that’s still heavily timegated.
If they want people to keep playing their SAB… well World 3! Or Bauble collector in Trib (Yes that’s insanity), new stuff !

If you’re going to be providing reward currency, then you need to provide something engaging to spend it on. that’s just basic game design. I know it sort of falls through the cracks on annualized events like this, but it’s something they should always consider each iteration. “Junk currencies” are negative fun.

They provided more things this year and last year that they considered engaging enough to spend reward currency on. They’ll undoubtedly add more things next year. They aren’t going to add more items this year no matter how much you say they need to do so.

Yeah, I’d love to have more fun items to buy with my bauble bubbles, but as it’s been stated there are already a number of available options. If you don’t want to complete tribulation mode to unlock the two extra boomboxes, and you don’t want to even attempt world 1 zone 1 tribulation to unlock the furniture coins, then the problem isn’t a lack of available stuff to buy, it’s that you aren’t interested in what’s left.
Think of it this way: I knew the atrocious drop rate for the good stuff from ToT bags, so rather than open stack after stack of bags in the hopes of getting one of the Oontz amulets or Halloween weapon skins, I bought them directly from the trading post. So that put me in the situation you’re in now: I already have all of the “good” Halloween festival rewards unlocked because I pursued them directly, so now the rest of the stuff I could get from ToT bags seems worthless to me so why should I bother participating anymore? Even though there was a really highly valued phosphorescent aura I could have tried to get, I didn’t want to attempt it.
Same goes for SAB rewards. You bought all the stuff you wanted. Now you’re upset that there isn’t more stuff for you to buy, even though there actually is and you just aren’t interested in attempting it. You should. The feeling of completing your first tribulation zone is exhilarating and it’s a huge reward in and of itself. The furniture coins are a bonus.
You’re confusing need with your want again.
No, I’m not. Again, basic game design. A reward currency that lacks useful things to spend it on switches from a positive aspect to a negative one. That is a Bad Thing.
They provided more things this year and last year that they considered engaging enough to spend reward currency on.
Where? There certainly aren’t any more on Moto. All I can find there are the same blue weapons that have been in since year one, and the SAB boombox that’s been there since last year. They added Crimson weapons, but those are bought using CA tokens, not BBs.
They aren’t going to add more items this year no matter how much you say they need to do so.
They could, but at the very least it’s something they should add to the list of things to get done for next year so they don’t forget again.

No, I just have zero interest in Tribulation as a concept. Masochism isn’t really my bag, I enjoy regular SAB, but the “hur hur, we killed for with no possible warning, you should have followed the online guides with pixel precision” content is of absolutely no interest to me. If they want to lock certain rewards behind that content, that’s fine, but you can’t argue that the solution to having too many Baubles earned in regular SAB is to have to clear Tribulation achievements. If regular SAB is handing out Baubles then they need to provide adequate rewards that come ONLY from regular SAB conditions.

Individual tastes vary. For you, the feeling of completing a Tribulation mode achievement was exhilarating. That is not universal for all people. For people like me, it might be fun to beat a Tribulation zone, but the frustration of repeatedly failing it is so much more intense that even if I did eventually succeed it would be a hollow experience overall.

hi use an overlay to help get it done without so much frustration and then it will be done and you will never have to do it again and you will have your bobble sink. period. your complaint is ridiculous.
so youre saying you want more bauble for your bubble?
It would be nice if the furniture coins wernt gated behind 2 worlds of SAB. I got all my baubles from wvw and have no idea what I’m supposed to do with them.
Maybe they should just replace the baubles in the reward tracks?

Can people still get the currency from the reward track? If no then it’s removed. Whether or not something replaced it doesn’t change that.
All content has an experiration date. SAB is mostly a linear platformer with very minor MMO reward structure. You can easily get all the non timegated rewards and still have tons of baubles left unspend.
It’s like saying you need something to spend your rupees on in any Zelda-game at the end of the game and running over the map killing every possible monster three times over.
If anything, there’s nothing for you to get from SAB anymore at this point and you can play it more and more and more, but it’s not going to offer you any rewards this year. Wait for the next year, and if they don’t have anything added then play the new stuff (if any) and then stop playing it if it doesn’t reward you.
If the currency is trash then trash it.
Or of course, try to do that one tribulation mode achievement. You technically do have 11,250 lives to waste in SAB.
but otherwise, there’s nothing to get for baubles that holds your interest. (no surprise really, it’s a april fools event, not everything is useful, and most things are just for subjective fun)

wvw title track that rewards currency that cannot be used unless I do hours of SAB. It wouldn’t be so bad if it was actually a currency that went into the wallet. Or you know…actual furniture coins instead of a rather useless currency.

TBH I’m stuck at the point where you picked to do the SAB reward track if you say you cant get anything you want from them. Granted it wasn’t a mistake ofcourse.
Other than that, regarding your very first question, there is Moto who trades in anything regarding baubles and/or bauble bubbles. ANything you get from the reward track can be traded in for something you can use outside of SAB. Whether those items are worth it is subjective.

The reward track is for a PvE festival so it’s expected that it will award items that come from it such as baubles. Should continue coins be removed too since they can only be used in SAB? There are things that can be purchased with baubles. The baubles can be converted into bauble bubbles which can be used for weapon skin, for example.
If none of that interests you, why are you doing the reward track in the first place?
How about removing replacing some of the loot boxes and putting in furniture coins?

again…
So I ask, what items are you buying with baubles that you could no longer buy if the reward tracks were switched to granting furniture tokens instead? Are you even doing the reward tracks in the first place?
because I am legit I will answer your question about why I am doing the SAB reward track,
The weapon skins. And since this will be brought up next,
By the time I get enough baubles to buy a weapon skin I will have unlocked them all through the reward track final chest making that a lolworthy thing to suggest.
I would really like to be able to dump my baubles into the guild hall decorations but there is no way I’m spending 5+hrs doing SAB while watching dulfy vids just so I can justify a poorly thought out WvW/spvp reward track that gates itself with pve. The very thing the reward tracks are meant to circumvent.
This concept is not hard and I don’t know why people are rallying against it like I’m trying to take their toy away. I don’t want your toys. I just want to share since WvW doesn’t get their own toys to play with.
Well, stop doing the SAB Reward track once you’ve gained enough Baubles and acquired the Weapon skins? If some Weapon skins come from the Reward chests, use the Baubles to purchase the others; there can’t be that many left over once one has used both methods of acquisition. (Just like Dungeon Reward tracks.)
At least, that is what I would do…maybe I’m odd. /shrug

The ratio of baubles to final chest weapon skin are out of skew. If I even get all the weapons this year from soley the final chest, I still am unlikely to have enough baubles to purchase even one skin. But if I converted all those baubles to furniture tokens I would be able to get like a million super cloud deco. It is very out of whack and is partially why I suggest changing the baubles to furniture tokens at a more reasonable ratio.
I have ~4500 baubles atm from wvw reward track that ive completed my best guess 6 times. And I think it costs maybe 8k baubles to buy a skin from the merchant. If I converted the 4500 baubles to super clouds I could buy 180 of them. But that requires some hefty special event pve and online guide tutorial. It really doesn’t even make sense to award so many baubles in the reward track that wvw becomes the most efficient way to acquire furniture tokens. Why not just switch them to furniture tokens at ~10 per track instead of the current out of whack ratio that almost necessitates the need for the pve gate?
All content has an experiration date. SAB is mostly a linear platformer with very minor MMO reward structure. You can easily get all the non timegated rewards and still have tons of baubles left unspend.
It’s like saying you need something to spend your rupees on in any Zelda-game at the end of the game and running over the map killing every possible monster three times over.
SAB is just a part of GW2 though, and GW2 does not end when SAB ends. It would rather more be like having a Zelda dungeon where you could earn a ton of a certain currency but only have a need for a fraction of it before it’s time to move to the next one. That’s poor content design, they should either have had a use for most of that currency, or handed out less of it.
Wait for the next year, and if they don’t have anything added then play the new stuff (if any) and then stop playing it if it doesn’t reward you.
A lot of the baubles I had this year was stuff that I had left over from last year, hoping that they’d add something new to spend it on (I only recently ditched my leftover Festival tokens). Unfortunately, they didn’t add anything, which was a bummer, but the point of this thread is to hopefully remind them to add something more for next year.
Or of course, try to do that one tribulation mode achievement. You technically do have 11,250 lives to waste in SAB.
Again, ZERO interest in Tribulation anything. Zerio. None. Ziltch. Not my game, whatsoever. Anythind gated behind even a few minutes of Tribulation Mode stays gated forever, it may as well be in an entirely different game that I do not own.
Fun fact: the approximate worth of 5000 Furniture Coins is 1750 gold
Easy way to get them is to do SAB dailies for Normal and Trib (win each map on Normal + Trib) for the Bauble Bubbles.
Each time you finish a world convert your 750+ baubles you got from each trib run into bubbles and then do the next world
I got about 2500 coins this SAB event alone which equates to about 875 gold. The more you know…
And I’m not even done yet. End result will probably end up being 3000+ coins.

Well, stop doing the SAB Reward track once you’ve gained enough Baubles and acquired the Weapon skins? If some Weapon skins come from the Reward chests, use the Baubles to purchase the others; there can’t be that many left over once one has used both methods of acquisition. (Just like Dungeon Reward tracks.)
At least, that is what I would do…maybe I’m odd. /shrug
The ratio of baubles to final chest weapon skin are out of skew. If I even get all the weapons this year from soley the final chest, I still am unlikely to have enough baubles to purchase even one skin. But if I converted all those baubles to furniture tokens I would be able to get like a million super cloud deco. It is very out of whack and is partially why I suggest changing the baubles to furniture tokens at a more reasonable ratio.
I have ~4500 baubles atm from wvw reward track that ive completed my best guess 6 times. And I think it costs maybe 8k baubles to buy a skin from the merchant. If I converted the 4500 baubles to super clouds I could buy 180 of them. But that requires some hefty special event pve and online guide tutorial. It really doesn’t even make sense to award so many baubles in the reward track that wvw becomes the most efficient way to acquire furniture tokens. Why not just switch them to furniture tokens at ~10 per track instead of the current out of whack ratio that almost necessitates the need for the pve gate?
I’m confused. Does one acquire more than one skin per final chest? If not, then every so many tracks will allow one to purchase a skin with Baubles, no?
Or is the concern really that one wishes to acquire Furniture Coins? If so, the lament should not be the amount of Baubles in the SAB Reward track, but the lack of Furniture Coins. Still, perhaps Furniture Coins are (one of) the enticements to play Tribulation Mode. Though, I have some Furniture Coins, and I’ve never even been able to pass the Toad…lol. (Thus, there must be some easy way to acquire them [I’m not a big fan of SAB].)

I’ve done the track ~6 times so far and it’s 1 weapon per track run. But I still only have enough baubles for half a weapon purchase. If I used all those baubles for furniture coins I would get like 180. In short it’s too many baubles and no coins unless I go do the achievements in SAB ya. It’s really out of balance from what it ideally should be.

once you no longer need to (1) buy upgrades for your characters, (2) buy blue weapons, (3) buy the other neat goodies in moto’s first tab, and (4) have enough continue coins… and complete the achievements to unlock the ability to buy furniture coins from moto, then any and all bobbles and bobble bobbles can go towards purchasing furniture coins. i myself have already farmed nearly 3500 furniture coins this year and im not even going hard. i just dont need any of the other old things that have been around for years and every year SAB comes back anet adds less and less giving me more and more opportunity to deck out guild halls.
@ohoni: seriously, look into taco or other related overlays for sab. it will literally tell you where not to step and you wont experience the hopeless frustration you dread so much. if you arent prepared to spend an hour max making it easy and an hour or 2 actually completing the requirements for you to sink your spare change, you dont deserve to. stop whining about the game being too hard.

Yes, but if you can’t reasonably complete the achievements to unlock the furinture coins, then you cannot buy the furniture coins, regardless of how many Baubles you have, so that’s a moot point. And telling me to stop whining about the game being too hard doesn’t help anyone. I don’t tell you how to enjoy the game, you don’t tell me.

I went in thinking visit w1-1 & 1-2 furniture shops. Then realized it was all of them for w1 & w2. Just getting to w1-1 took me an hour using dulfy guide because dulfy was making a spikes jump that was not possible on my norn character for some reason. I ended up finding a different easier jump. Got into w1-2 and realized I was hopelessly lost and gave up after another hour.
