Adding group puzzles that cant be solved solo would be as frustrating as in the end of Personal story having group dungeon.
It’s certainly tricky to design group puzzles for anywhere from 1-5 players!
Please note the “1”.
You’re just too good to be true… Can’t take my eyes off of you…
Thanks a bunch Josh, as always!
I cleared that gap without a dodge jump. In fact, at that time I didn’t even know that there was such a thing.
LOL RIGHT? Same thing with me.
The first time I did it with guildies and me and another one got it on first try without even thinking, no dodge-jump (none of us knew about it), the three others died and we went like “what hahahaha”. Tbh I didn’t miss a jump the first time, was really well aware of the sizes from other jumping puzzles I guess.
But, for some reason, since I watched Josh’s stream and the QA guy did it, I never was able to do it again without dodge-jump.
…
For the most part though, by taking my time and aligning my character perfectly, I’ve been able to get by. The jump around the roots in SAB is one of the only jumps I’ve encountered where no matter how hard I tried, the keyboard just didn’t work.
…
Hey! You’re talking about the one in zone 2 right? I use Q and E to turn the camera, since I mostly play on my notebook while on bed, it’s not optimal, obviously, but I still get around to do pretty much any jump/pvp etc (that doesn’t count clocktower/wintersday/skipping stones though lol, but that’s because I have fps lag that helped in their case, but I got skipping with some mesmers at the first week when it debuted).
I was able to get that jump without moving the camera that much, tip: try jumping by the other side. I honestly don’t know why in every guide or person I saw doing that did by the left, but when I went there solo I tried from the right and got it on my first try where I failed 2 with friends on the other side.
Hope this helps!
I feel all of yours complaints about the lag issue, I mean, the mushrooms jumps to get those last baubbles and Moto’s Breath were hell for me, it took me way way way too many tries because I would suddenly be teleporting all over the place, get fall damage mid air, get poison while on a mushroom then suddenly I’m on the poison floor etc.
It was the most annoying kitten, but it happens, I understand their restraints and kept doing it till I finally got that freaking motherkitten.
Thanks for everything Josh and team, SAB’s been an incredibly experience for me since it’s start and I always have fun playing it.
As always, looking forward to more of your work! Hopefully I won’t have to jump through so many mushrooms in a row again. =p
Obs: I think pretty much everything is REALLY well balanced and at the right pace, the annoying monkeys, the secrets, the bosses, prices of stuff, upgrade progression and where’s at etc. Just add a achievement glider really for those that don’t want to use guides.

Woah. O_o That’s… creative and probably non-intended.
Tell us, did your friend automatically died/went do down again after getting back to normal?
I LOVE this poems, please keep it up! GL
Almost the day! So a little bump!
Looking for it very much! Thanks for the event!
Hahahaha, some of you necros are really funny.
Is anyone here counting? What’s the number of this one?
Uh, okay, one thing first: shatters aren’t our only source of burst/proper damage.
Now, it’s clear the OP doesn’t play tourneys or anything where balance can show itself better, if any of you want to do a bit of research you can find information on balance and “tiers” of profession at the moment.
Oh, by the way, the game is theoretically balanced based on 5v5, not 1v1.
Oh gee you so good you soo OP hot kitten
If you think mesmer is “OPest” class in PvP, you simply don’t play that much.
Ele is, by far and far, the best class, they can do whatever they want against every class.
Thieves are hardly OP anymore, just learn how to react a little and listen to the sounds of the battle.
Try tourneys alone and see how well you do against experienced teams and tell us after how OP you are.
I just listened to all of it while doing some SAB runs to pass the time and relax without doing much.
Really great and was pretty entertaining, I’m looking forward to more!
Awesome initiative, grats!
I still feel stunned by Josh’s response lol. Someone actually saying the drop rate. o_o
I actually ran that cutscene multiple times in order to screencap her responses so I could read them later at my leisure. The fact that I had to do it at least three times is ridiculous though, girl needs to slow down.
Haha, I had to do the same, it was really annoying, got around to finish screening it properly by getting to her somehow before the cutscene even started.
@Konig I believe they don’t because some players could get stuck on them for a bit depending on their computer/internet conection/number of people in that area.
Also, I agree with @Jornophelanthas points and your fifth.
I really really appreaciate your works Josh (and the team on SAB too).
Thanks for being so honest and upfront about everything too!
I think my favorite skin is the shield and hey, engies can use that! I understand tons of people don’t use it, but me, personally, will try to get two just so I can use one on a Engi I’ll make. He’ll be a great enthusiast of Moto’s work =D
Hahahaha, gee, that was awesome, thanks!
Just logged in now, you’re right, they’re gone
So that was what Moto talked about to “If I were you I would take the offer today”
I was doing some runs on them just two hours ago… So definitely not gone.
Well, duh? Obviously.
I wouldn’t play it as much as I’ll have to, to be able to get the skins, but I would gladly play it tons of times because I like it and find it fun, it’s brilliant to me and the feeling and laughs I got into it the first time were really great.
@Mungrul Indeed it is, it’s a labour of love and we can feel it.
Some people are just too skritty and can’t find joy in anything but rewards, so they gotta complain.
Also, if you die at the last boss and isn’t there hitting it when it dies, you don’t get the achievement nor the baubles. You still get the chest with 2 bauble baubbles though.
I still get baffled at myself for how annoyied I get reading some posts here.
@Joker. They have diferente teams, the same people who mix with sPvP/other stuff arent the team that developed this.
And oh, I’m sure SAB took plenty of time to make, it’s not as easy as you guys think it could’ve been, I bet it was pretty complicated… And guess what, it wasn’t made in just a month.
@Crise Hey! Yup, know that! It was just that my guildmate had 750+ baubles and mine’s wouldn’t go up after 250, but he didn’t know why he could have so much and not me, I guess he bought the slots and didn’t realise it
Hey Josh! What I’m going to say doesn’t really warrant a thread, but the achievements can get a bit buggy.
I did it till the frog, but didn’t get the achievement of 3 zones completed because of the second one, while one of my friends did, I didn’t because I died at the end of the boss (also didn’t get any baubbles).
I understand that’s how loot Works outside the game too, but yeah XD.
Also, really important:
When I did it, I COULDN’T pass the 250 baubbles mark, it simply wouldnt go up, I could get more and more +1, +10 etc, but it never counted or appeared on my inventory… While someone was making stacks and stacks o.o Is it normal?
Just checked the post now, sorry XD Was too busy before playing haha
Obs: SAB gave me tons of fun already and I couldn’t stop laughing and enjoying myself at the beggining, thanks a lot! (I was also following your posts on reddit before that, great youtube videos too btw)

Looking back at my post, almost 4 months ago, dang, that was a fun mission, I wish I could replay it now, but since I only had greens and blues at that time and wasn’t as experienced as I am today, it probably would’ve been a lot easier, but I still remember the feeling I got completing it on second try, was really, really great and unusual because the npcs actually seemed like a great party with their AI.
I think it’s intended.
Never happened on my comp.
I love the new spatial surge, really really great and I got used to it pretty instantly, really fun to use. =D
Black Lion Keys were on sale all day on Saturday, March 23rd for 100 gems each, or 5 for 360 gems. It’s unfortunate that you missed it, and I do hope that you’ll still keep your eye out for sales that might interest you in the future. In order to offer considerable discounts on sales such as this one, we must limit them, whether by time or quantity.
I do, however, want to thank you for playing the game and for taking the time to follow sales in the Gem Store.
WHO ARE YOU? Your name even starts with J and your lastname with S! Dang!
And @ROFL at @Ursan, “minions” hahahah really good one.
That was a pleasant surprise, haha, thanks for the thread.
Wow, kitten
I didn’t know the chances were being that bad for the majority…
I was thinking they were going to be pretty easy to get, since a friend opened one and got one, and his guild leader bought ten and got nine…
I’m speechless about his luck I guess, uh.
(edited by Dan.8709)
The only way to do that I can think of is to do the following:
(…)
Thank you for that, really, if they’d implemente things as you suggested it would made an incredible turn of events for how the economy works and I imagine it would be really great.
I still don’t know why they didn’t fix CoF 1 yet, they desperetely need to do it to slow things down a bit.
Fear not, for I have taken a screenshot!
Huh, that’s weird XD
Thanks for the screen.
I’d love to be able to play commando in my own little instance for just a bit on april fools.
Anyone? Any screens of the april?
@Dan:
If you have some points in the HoM, you can get a fiery dragon sword with the Jormag and go fire and ice!
Hahah, oh yeah, it’d be nice, too bad I never played GW1 and don’t really have much time atm to think about starting, but who knows, maybe someday
@skullmount it was 800 before.
I bought 25 “recently”, but it was atleast three weeks ago by now I think, so I got my money’s worth for the time I guess.
But kitten yeah, I’m considering buying again just for stock… It’s something you can always end up using.
@nirvana, scavenger hunt is coming sooner or later, doesn’t matter if you believe it or why you don’t believe it, it’s on it’s way.
Hopefully you buy your precursor and in the next update after it they launch it.
(edited by Dan.8709)
I don’t really know, but that’s weird and if it’s indeed like that, I’m sorry for you, cause it sucks. Hard.
Maybe it’s the same deal as with the hard potions? Before this patch we would get them and they’d be account bound automatically despite saying nothing of it, then the update made them tradable… but the old ones I had couldn’t be sold, they were stuck with me.
I wasn’t able to copy it, but my friend knows how to glitch weapon skills animations on swapping weapons and he can be like a beyblade on a warrior, shoot with a sword etc, really fun.
Wow @sostronk, you really know a lot about the online gaming industry huh! I’m glad you’re sharing your knowledge with us, I feel smarter.
ArenaNet should hire guys like you, this game would be so much better and would see soooo much content, I mean, culling would’ve been fixed in one month max I bet.
Now you’re using the wolfborn staff as well, nice =D
Weirdly enough I got mine during a fractals run some months ago haha, an exotic with knight’s stats but the name is just “Staff”, just recently I found out the skin could be bought by karma too.
And dang, dual Jormag’s, you rich XD
I was thinking in making one but wasn’t sure, I’m between it and firebringer… Too bad firebringer doesn’t illumate places.
You’re lovely and I greatly enjoyed your post.
WHAT?!!!! Is this for real? 100k golds? wtf
It’s bullkitten, don’t worry.
I’d wait, I’m not spending my hard-earned gold just like that.
I really don’t mind waiting, I’m pacient, I’ll do the scavenger hunt when it’s available.
@Also, lol, cutting costs, grind blablabla, hahahahahahahaha, you guys… Really funny.
Have you tried looking here or other armor-like posts in sites?
Oh, thanks, I’m glad I was wrong.
It’s been quite a while since I played the personal story so I don’t recall any mention of it and to be honest I didn’t know the name of the ship till now, so I can see why I would miss some details on what was going on before… But I still think it could’ve been better developed and shown to the player. I’d really like to now what that tome said…
EDIT: Now I checked the Source of Orr wikipage and read the dialog, I remember it. It’s more the info about the weaponry that I didn’t know.
(edited by Dan.8709)
The major grip I have with Zaithan’s fight was that it felt stupid.
I mean, we got the dwavern tome and people were translating it… But we, the commander, never heard of it again.
We simply shot him down, I mean, what.
I can understand if we put some kitten on the laser or something, but we were never informed of anything of the sort.
Dang I arrived too late. Oh well, congrats XD
I work with several designers whom I would consider experts in mmo economies, so we can sit and chat and make sure we’re all on the same page.
Are they as lovable as you are?
Do you guys run dungeons together as the economists party?
Hahahahahaha, are you an asura?
