Guild Wars 2

when is it i’m searching forums and google – can’t find anything except dungeon is over maybe july 9th, and the aether JP is permanent

how long before we can’t get any achievements such as cache / complete 12 for the mini dude

also the AR dungeon is super challenging which is great, but at the same time getting mai trin down to 25% is a monumental task in itself seeing as how 4/5 of your group is typically dead after cannon fire and you will have replaced multiple members after fails… no way i will get a win on this by july 9……..give us more time, give us easy/fun stuff, or else continue to lose player base on the regular. friends who got me into this game have already quit for this exact reason…

July 8th is the final day. July 9th will be the introduction of the next part.

I’m not so sure. I know that the new chapter starts on July 9, but lately chapters have been overlapping.

There’s a good chance that the achievement page will stick around longer than the dungeon does, seeing as the last achievement is only going to be unlocked on July 9.

So you may have more time to do the caches.

Would be awesome though if someone official would let us know what’s happening.

Track Down Aetherblade Caches! – June 25-July 9

Lion’s Arch honors the defiant spirit of its citizenry with the rousing Dragon Bash festival, when revelers laugh in the face of fear! Sponsored by the Captain’s Council of Lion’s Arch, Dragon Bash is a month-long celebration packed with all-new activities, fireworks, exclusive rewards, and surprises galore! The festival begins on June 11 and ends on July 9.

Is that enough for you?

Also, with the bi-weekly releases, they tie together, so the first one will typically last a full month whereas the second one will be the conclusion and therefore only last 2 weeks. To explain. Dragon Bash is the month-long event. Aetherblade Pirates is the conclusion and lasts only 2 weeks (until the Dragon Bash is over).

To explain that even further, the whole purpose of us going after the Aetherblade Pirates isn’t because there are evil pirates in Lion’s Arch (there will always be evil pirates in Lion’s Arch, it’s the pirate capital!), it’s because the Dragon Bash is going on and the Lionsguard does not want people to panic and so the festival should not be ruined whilst the Kiel (and the player) go and stop the Aetherblades… or at least some of them. Wink

so 9 july is the final date.

any idea on the exact time and GMT + ???

thanks!

When the patch happens. Just expect it to be over at Midnight PST on July 8th.

Just kinda bummed cuz this is a good, challenging dungeon and I don’t want it to be available for such a short amount of time. Permanent JPs but non-permanent dungeons? <sigh> I get that you couldn’t make this permanent due to the storyline, but man…why would I want a permanent JP but a temp dungeon?

I too would like it if they kept the dungeon. Just because events are moving on doesnt mean the dungeon cant stay. By that logic, if i do one run in any dungeon, i cant do it again because it’s already happened.

what if, in the evolving story of tyria, we 1) ran the aetherblades outta lion’s arch and 2) somewhere down the road someone else moved in to those caverns behind the waterfalls and we had to go track them down? that would be living story, and would necessitate the dungeon being temporary.

i love the concept. we have regular dungeons we do as a part of our story, our growth as characters, that TELL the story of destiny’s edge. and we have a team of SUPREMELY talented designers giving us fun, challenging dungeons that support the living, changing story of tyria.

The achievement for talking to Mai Trin will be available from July 5th according to these patch notes

Actually, since dungeons are instances, you can technically have 2 dungeons in the same location. The living story doesn’t suffer because of keeping a dungeon that was story line based…be realistsic.

I’m not about to do it permanent but to let it live for another 1-2 weeks after event ends. Thank u if u payed attention to my post.

Deadline reminder: Tomorrow.

Extremely disappointed in ANET. They offered a dungeon for 5 days in June and 9 days in July a total of two weeks. I got to attempt it and was unsuccessful, and will never get to do this achievement. This extremely difficult dungeon glitched out the first few times we tried, and so when I had a evening off to attempt this again, I find out the dungeon was only limited time. 14 days…. is not reasonable during the summer, I’m certain their are people home all day and all night to play, but some of us don’t want to miss game content cause we went out of town, had a busy work schedule, or worse have a life. 14 days… wow, this is my first time saying it, ANET needs to remember the game is supposed to be fun, not work. I have enough unreasonable deadlines at work I don’t need them from ANET. This wasn’t a holiday or special promotion its something they created, heck… day long holidays get offered all month.

I’m kind of surprised that I missed it too, it’s only because I assumed it would overlap and be a month long like dragon bash was, now that I know how the system works though I’ll have to find time to participate XD

Temporary content with such short deadlines is not ideal imo.

I do like the idea of aspects being temporary along with some prestige gear with that.

Having said that I like the idea of revisiting a dungeon for example that has a rare skin drop that I can try for, that’s still available a few months down the track.

I don’t know what this sub forum is still doing up here, the Dragon Bash one has been moved into the archive, and the UI suggests that it is not longer possible to get any of the achievements.

I didn’t have much time to login during the last two weeks, if the Sky Pirates don’t make a return in a year or so I’ll never be able to complete the achievements. I only completed the JP which stays in the game anyway. This is extremely disappointing and frustrating. GW2 was advertised as a game where you can always return without having missed anything. Now it seems that you cannot even complete achievements which should be easy to complete after the actual event has ended, like this one.
I’m content with time limited content if it’s reasonable in some way, i.e. the grace period for wintersday or dragon bash has been long enough. The time available for completing the sky pirates achievements has been way too short though. Being a completionist to a degree (I can live with not being able to complete the HoM achievements), this is so frustrating for me that I’ll probably stop playing GW2 altogether.
What I feared most about time limited living story content has become reality, I’m forced to login and play, even if I don’t have time to do so. That’s a gamebreaking annoyance for me. Thanks for ruining it, ANet. Bye.
