Guild Wars 2

The only one thing I’m can’t understand is why ANet cant select 2-3 programmers and tell them something like:
“Ok, guys you need to fix SAB. Here is old code, here – someone who created it earlier and you can ask whatever you want. Here is tonns of video, how it should work. You can just use other features to make it work. No falling damage? Grandmaster planner mastery. Dry leafs? Skyhammer power fields. Jumping mushrooms? HoTs jumping mushrooms, etc…”
Thay dont need to design levels, draw textures, place enemies and traps. Only thing thay should fix – SAB mechalics. Why Anet cant pick out 2-3 programmers from more then hundred programmers stuff? Dont think it would take more then few mouths to fix everething, if thay already have old code, fully designed levels and someone, who done it before.

BUT WAIT: There was a post by That-Shaman on the reddit that he had found some kind of new SAB looking giant bug monster, so the thing isn’t removed entirely from being worked on. If anything, it’s likely a side side side project being worked on during off hours by a few.

I think it was “joke” for that_shaman and all SAB fans, like all these SAB minis in BLC.

I think that “milestone stacks” mechanics is really good idea.

For example, each path have 4 milestones. Everyone, who participate in the event get one stack. You will need total “party size”/2*X+1 stacks at all player, who vote to kick player with X stacks(but minimum of 2 player, if pary size is bigger then 2). So if u solo something, but need help with last event – you have 4 stacks and all joined players have 4 too(lets say everyone starts with 1 stack), so thay cant kick you.

This system have no difference at kicking compare to current system for groups that progress together from the beggining, but it would protect old players from new(in terms of current dungeon run).

Of corse, 4 is random number and 25% of CoF p1 and 25% of Arah p4 are slightly different, but I really like the idea.

Why are people ignoring the fact that we HAVE comments by the team in this very thread and that they have already outright stated that it WILL be back?

Dont think that 7 month old comment can be call information in the modern world.

Sorry to disappoint you guys but Anet has answered in a french topic about the SAB (https://forum-fr.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/game/Super-adventure-box-3) and we’ll probably not have the SAB back till a long time…

For those who don’t understand french, Anet just tell that “their efforts are concentrated on the first expansion for Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns.”

ANet answered in 5day post at french forum , instead of anwering here. Best comunication ever.
It means that first april SAB bug was special joke for that_shaman.
So sad we wouldn’t get any content before HoT release.

I think the main issue of GW2 is fact, that ANet dont have community manager, who can answer community’s questions. ANet dont have such person → community make their own speculations → speculations never comes true → community full of disappointment.
Way it should be:
community: Would we have access to the SAB in the future?
CM: Sorry, guys, but it seems that we can give you SAB only after HOT release, coz we put all our resources into HoT development.
It is sad news, but it is not so disappointing.

The way ANet do it now is really idiotic.
Thay add untradable SAB staff into BLC, but dont add SAB and dont tell us anything about it.
Merged april fools topic have already had over 1.3k replies and still dont have ANet post like
“We are sorry about air crash and dont want any references to it”
“Sorry for missing “event OFF” button"
Its bad exaples ofc, coz it show my own opinion about 1.04 patch, but I still think that we need CM that would answer community questions or at least something like “Sorry dont have such information”.
