Guild Wars 2

-*Complete the scavenger hunt to earn five skill points. *
Really ? only skill points for complete this one ? where is precursor hunt …

wtf … seriously ?

I guess it’s some kind of joke … something like that …

Yeah, he’s serious. It says it in the event page. Not sure why the think we need more skill points…

It’s not that difficult. The plagues are all in Lion’s Arch and you can actually find them already, so it’s not a “real” scavenger hunt

Yea, I got excited when I read this and then quickly dissapointed. Not that it doesn’t sound fun, but more for the let down on the reward!

Perfect timing! I really need some skill points for my legendary!

It’s a troll attempt by arenanet!

I guess it’s a small scale test for the whole scavenger hunt idea before rolling out the one for the precursors. We wouldn’t want the precurser scavenger hunt to suck, do we?

Living story in general is a test for permanent content. They experiment with stuff like magic find and dungeon design to decide on the direction they want to head with in the game.

I don’t know about the precursor-scavenger hunt, but there’s still the hunt for the aetherblade from the ((delete me))-part of the achievments.

EDIT:…which actually has been announced further down the page starting June 25th as well, so forget what I said

This is just something for the people who buy the novel to play.
Normal people are not supposed to do it since “You can find clues to the plaques’ locations in Sea of Sorrows”

Fingers crossed that it’ll be character-specific. I know all of my characters could do with 5 more skill points.

As for the location, I’m sure you can discover them by yourself with exploration. Or just wait for dulfy’s guide. :P

I like the idea, since i have all points and i need a lot moar for legendary. It’s the equivalent of leveling 5 times. Which to me is sweet
