Guild Wars 2

Does anyone have a clue to why we were given given a taste of this content for months and months only to get this event till May 12th? 0,o

I for one love it, and I am a bit happy you can run it and get the chest more then once a day. (Why only 13 days?)

Then there is this info that is listed info page.

The Flame and Frost epilogue will be active from Sunday, May 12 at 12:00pm Pacific until Thursday May 16 at 12:00am Pacific. The epilogue will mostly consist of conversations and story elements; there are no exclusive rewards to be given at this time.

This makes me fell like screaming like Capt Kirk, “ArenaNet!!!!”

it is an on going story arc, the idea of this temporary stuff in my opinion is great, once the story is over the events finish and a new arc will begin, i know its not everyone’s cup of tea but it is a great concept in my opinion.

it is as simple as that end of story = end of content.

They have Fractals..So imo,they can add every temporary dungeon to become a level in fractals.

Well no one is crying about SAB going so i think they are using the temp events right. Its a lot like that new app snapshot or something where pic only stay arone for 10 sec you can do things when there is less time that its going to be arone.

Actually a lot of people were crying about Adventure Box being only available for April.
Though I do see GW2’s point, the story is evolving every couple of months. They won’t want to keep stuff from last year going on now and acting as if no time has passed.

There was that type of problem with GW1’s events sometimes, people called it a time travel complex. This also gives them the ability to make fresh content or even go back, dust off some older story and rework it as a sequel of sorts.

My personal belief is they should allow the recap system somewhere, maybe in Fractals or someplace out of the way, so folks that missed out on Karka’s big introduction can live it out and those who were veterans to it can relive it.

What Atlas said, and we know that SAB is coming back. there are still 3 more worlds that need completing.

And they will add in more living content but it will be a different story.

It was made by the event team and not thbe dungeon team.

This is why much of the flow is so different.

It might be temp because the team is under trial approval to do this, or because they see it as just an event.

Either way this is the BEST group content GW2 has ever had. It ought to be perm, and this team needs a promotion to dungeon design/redesign.

The dungeon team should be integrated with these guys so that world event content can gain more of dungeon difficulty and group build thinking, and so that dungeons can learn from what this team did here.

It is too amazing to get shelved.

This sounds good, but can hope that is is not a slow and draw out like this story was.

I enjoyed the story, and got a real kick out of it. “The whole thing with Rex and how she got her new pet Frostbite cracked me up.” My main complaint is that the other parts of this story were spaced out close to 30 days apart. Now that we have gotten to the end of the story we only get this part for 13 days.

Kittens!! That’s like reading a 800 page Murder Mystery only to find out the butler did it.

Its a stupid idea to get rid of it.

I actually enjoyed some of this F&F stuff, a lot more than the personal story.

But guess what, I prob wont be able to log on for the next few weeks. Too bad for me I guess…

I only just got back into the game when the F&F thing started. at first I thought it was sort of lame cause there were refugees wondering around but nothing to really do with them. Then the stories came out and it was epic. I did them even though I was only level 55 at the time. I was up scaled to 80 but I still had pretty bad stats and I got killed a lot. But i still did then events and i found them fun. Now with this stuff drawing to a close I was like hell yeah a dungeon! too bad I’m only level 68 -_-

I won’t get to experience that dungeon unless I play for hours on end and I don’t want to do that. It would be grate if they could put this whole event some place so you could play it again every so often. Cause it is pretty awesome, Dredge and Flame Legion combined is just epic.

I have heard it is temporary as they are sort of open beta testing new ideas while trying to keep stuff happening in Tyria story wise. However, people like me, or people who come back just after the story is over are sort of cheated out of an epic experience just because it will be inaccessible after a while.

Oh and yeah, I did get into some groups who were doing this event, but once they found out I wasn’t level 80, they made it clear they wanted me to leave
