Guild Wars 2

It is no secret that there is not much highlevel content in the game. Sometimes it is very difficult to find something to do in the game, if you already sick of sPvP and Fractals.

So here is the question:

Why arenanet removed all consumables and sieges from Obsidian Sanctum?

There was so much fun! I spent a lot of time there with my friends. The only motivation to get the best armor was this zone, so I can kill people there more easily.
I played every day, because in Obsidian Sanctum was a lot of fun, but since arenanet “fixed” this place I and many of my friends gradually stopped to play Guild Wars 2.

Why arenanet should add consumables and sieges black to obsidian sanctum?

• It’s actually really fun
• It will not affect WvW
• More high level content / more stuff to do in the game
• Consumables from the world won’t be so useless anymore
• Obsidian sanctum will be more harder to complete, so reward could be better

Why it could be bad, but it won’t

• People may complain of difficulty, but they can complete this puzzle with invisibility from fountains all over the puzzle anyway

Is there any chance that consumables will be back to obsidian sanctum?
Maybe if players create petition?

sorry for my english

Constant threads from players complaining about “griefing” is what prompted them. Players stopped doing it when the chest became account bound and also when EotM was released.

Invisibility doesn’t work well in the torch room unless players are once again able to use items that emit light while invisible. Otherwise players have to drop invisibility so they can pick up a torch.

It sounds like the only reason you went into Obsidian Sanctum was to grief players trying to do the JP.

I mean, there’s no reason you can’t still kill players going through it. What do consumables/siege matter in the grand scheme, really. A group of a few guys can ruin someone’s day pretty easily still.

You can hunt other players without using siege. Honestly, I hate trolling other players and hate being trolled; thus I just avoid that JP, except back when I needed badges (before you got them so easily as AP rewards).

Dunno about consumables, but the siege was pure cancer, especially in the beast arena. especially arrowcarts that can fire through the kittening roof.

and yes, it did affect wubwub, cause you have to get the supply somewhere.

if you can only have fun by griefing other ppl with siege, then you and your friends are not a loss for this game at all.

Why do people always complaining about things that do not even relate to them? I don’t like story line and all this expansion that affect only story, for example, but I’m not complaining about it, I just don’t do story quests, that’s all!

Inb4 this thread gets moved to the WvW forum and buried.

See, other games like Aion and DOAC and even WoW partly, merge Pvp and PvE. And, this content there and here is really fun.

Players were drooling when they found out that they could be “red” in a small irrelevant portion of the Silverwastes and excited at the possibility of Pvp that doesn’t exist.

But, there and here, other players complain about mixing gameplay types. Many PvE players want no Pvp at all in their content (and in every game that offers both PvE and pvp, the PvE servers at more populated). Many PvPers would prefer no PvE wasting their time.

So people complain, and stuff gets nerfed and never seen again.

Put real rewards in the OS chest and you will get good gameplay again.
Stick a challenging, rewarding world boss in Edge of the mists and you will get good gameplay.

they could really make the chest character bound again

eotm gives much more tokens but takes less skill than the jp … even if you let a mesmer portal you it still takes more skill than eotm … not fair

Exactly what happens to every thread posted about this subject. They take the map out of EB because of people complaining about it harming WvW and love to bury it in the WvW forum- oh the irony.

Anyway OP don’t get your hopes up, I and countless others have made threads about this subject- hell I’ve even pmed individual devs and asked if anyone would like to comment. Never a red post, never a response. I think they’ve made it clear that they don’t care and it’s really a shame.

Consumables and siege in OS will almost certainly not come back. It was far too imbalanced.

That said, with ANet’s recent announcement of adventures and Masteries, we may possibly see Obsidian Sanctum get tied to that. I wouldn’t get your hopes up, but it’s a possibility. However, unless the core issues of conflict between the PvE/PvP crowd are resolved, I guarantee you that even if OS gets a boost with HoT, it will become abandoned again once the PvE/JP crowd have gotten their achievements/Masteries and then never come back.

No reason to do the JP. Many, dare I say most, didn’t enjoy the griefers. You and your 10 friends have fun playing with yourselves…..

i would vote to close this thread if it can be possible.

siege in OS? wich consumables? u can still use food or tonics in os, wich kitten consumables u are talking about?

what they did with OS made it much better place, placing acs in OS is “off the table”.

kk
guess this is never gonna happen, coz in this game is more casual-pve players then hardcore pvp players.
it’s ok btw, bdo release is soon anyway, in russia at least lol

What’s funny… Did you know that the only way to get to the Obsidian Sanctum if you have never been there before is through the portal in an EB keep? The option to join that map doesn’t show up on the map selection tab in the WvW UI until you’ve been there.

I used to spend 15 hr days in Obsi before it died, I’m quite well informed

Well, according to ANet’s latest blog post, Masteries are in PvE only, so I’m guessing Obsidian Sanctum is getting no changes.

Yeah I miss dropping flame ram prints in the well area to cloud those noobs’ vision, or spamming molotov kittentails and golem robot arm bombs. Enemy has arrow carts covering the battle-pit exit of dark room?? No prob, because my friends and i Know all the port spots (not just the sneezelol standard one up front)

Honestly I love the thought of consumables working on this map… although I can understand why anet has a problem with me trebbing the spawn from wayyy up on the top area. Let alone the omegas…

I would be satisfied if i could open the chest with all of my characters in a single day. Tricky mesmer-related metas ensued… sometimes whole squads would do battle for control of the top.. crazy insane platforming battles that makes the current boring stale gvg meta look like its the year 2004.

Bring back the JP glory! #stilltrollin

[edit] PS, Anet USED to have love for the EBJP crowd… hence the Mad Memories. Why have we been forsaken??
