YES PLEASE, Im not about to spend a legendary worth of gold for these weapons. Only ppl with them now and ppl selling them want ot be a-hats and dont let others have these AMAZING weapons that should never be forgotten.

But sadly anet wont, they said something like (we dont like the design of them for our game, they dont fix our story)

Pretty irritating that Anet silences community demand for the SAB by merging the many threads on the topic all into one thread, which they can then safely ignore.

Come on, Anet, if you have so many threads on this topic that you have to close a bunch and merge into one topic, doesn’t that merit at least one red post somewhere in the thread, addressing the issue?

I wonder if the volatility has something to do with it. Maybe the volatility in this thread isn’t at a low enough level to address, but then I just finished reading about Whiteside and Colin posting a statement that covered all contents.

Those are bull crap answers, EVERYTHING will always be future plans, even if its 10years from now its still something they “Wont” talk about.

If I told my business that I would have went under a long time ago.

There truly is no good reason to keep it open 24/7/365, I bet its a jealous CEO that doesn’t like it and wont allow it. (I only say this b.c Ive seen it happen many times, I wouldn’t have believed it, but it happened to me a few times.)

Probably not… or not any time soon.

I’m one who’d like another just so there’s three of each- I admit it isn’t really much of an argument for another but there it is.

As it stands… the armor classes pretty much cover every play style you could imagine. Though, it would be cool to see a heavy class that has perma-minions like the necros/engineers/rangers, but the mechanic to be ‘balanced’ for a heavy armor user with pets is already covered by engineers in that regard.

yeah I know we wont, but im just wishing

Title says it all, would like another heavy.

Are there still Mystic Forge Recipes/items that havent been discovered yet that are not recipe sheets for food feasts/pots/trays or recipe sheets for satchels/boxes of armor?

Does Zommoros still have some secrets up his djinny sleeve?

Yes.

Could you at least check to see if the Reaper of Souls isnt bugged? and it truly can be Mystic forged? its been 2 years and no one found this recipe yet.

Mike O Brien.4613:

I know some are concerned about whether ArenaNet is communicating with you and listening and responding to your feedback. As you saw with yesterday’s announcement, we do. All of us at ArenaNet play the game with you, chat with you and read your forum posts, and work on the things that we think will most delight and entertain you.

We’ve set a clear policy in the past year: we don’t talk speculatively about future development. We don’t want to string you along. Creating fun is an uncertain business: sometimes things work out and sometimes they don’t; sometimes we go back to the drawing board over and over before we get something right. If we make optimistic promises and then can’t deliver on them, everyone suffers. So when we attend a trade show or give an interview, we’re there to talk about what we’re getting ready to ship, not to speculate on what we might ship someday.

Don’t read that as meaning that we don’t want to talk with you about the longer-term roadmap. The intention of the CDI threads is to talk with you about the roadmap. We want to talk design philosophy with you and hear how you want to see the game evolve. When those discussions trigger development, we’ll work internally until we have something we’re proud of before we’ll announce it.

A lot of the questions I’ve seen posted this week are as simple as this: does ArenaNet have an agenda to never do something? That’s almost never the case, and if it is the case you deserve to know and we’ll make sure we get more clear. In general the simple truth is this: when we’re not currently working on something, it’s because we’re working on something else instead that we think is more important for the game and community.

Our developers post on these forums on a voluntary basis, and in addition to developers, we have a community team who can clarify and be the bridge between players and developers. They’re ready to engage you on these topics. And I know it’s hard for the community team to engage players across all the forums and sites where these questions are being discussed, so I’m going to support the team in consolidating and focusing as necessary, so that we can be clear to the community where you can go to get a response.

See you in-game,
Mike O’Brien

This isnt communicating, this is saying nothing again, like always.

So how is letting SAB be permanent content compare to temp “speculative” same goes for are you actually working on broken/not finished parts of the game?

You literally didnt address the issues and basically said “we dont want to talk about them”.

Wait SAB isn’t coming back ever??
I never got to play during SAB or the Back to School event!
That was the one thing (outside the LS) that I was extremely excited to finally play someday. On top of the skins, I just wanted to experience it…
PLEASE bring SAB back Anet.

No one said SAB is never coming back. Thats just people taking what was said to the extreme. What was said in the interview is something like: we dont see SAB fitting in the living story and we’re very focused on ensuring the quality of the LS right now so I dont see SAB being part of a living story release What he probably meant is SAB would be released in between Living story releases or perhaps during breaks like the feature as opposed to being released back to back with a living story update like it happened last time.

But this is were Silence is bad, a LARGE player base thinks it isnt coming back, and all anet has to do is post, “yes it will be back, but give us time to fix some of out broken stuff 1st” BUT NOOO!!!!!! anet wont speak, witch to some means even more so than before there will be no SAB.

So yes we need communication.

And if they do that and dont plan to say bring back before next year, every single month that it doesnt come back will re-enforce player’s believe that Arenanet Lie and tell us what we want to hear just so we stop causing trouble.

Communication can do good but it can also do bad.

They dont need to same when, just that yes it will come back… thats better than thinking it may never come back.

“Communication can do good but it can also do bad. " You will never make everyone happy, but whats worst is letter your community get out of hand making so called “riots” posting on multi forums, videos, etc… its better to put out a small fire with controlled fire than letter it engulf and grow.

what will happen to those that have 2 tags now ?

Nothing at all, you still got the better deal, I wouldnt complain, I mean your getting multi color, account bound tag for 200g where in the future it will be 300g.

I too have 2 tags, we are lucky they didnt give us back our 200g and took away the commander from us and made us buy them again at 300g, we are lucky for that, so please accept it and move on.

well, i don’t have 2 tags myself, only have one, but i think they are entitled to a 100g refund per extra tag as well. just like when ANET made the BLTC mining pick account bound and increased the price, those that got extra pick got a refund.

I stand by what I say, again, we are lucky anet doesn’t refund all of our gold from tags and makes us re-buy them using only the new system.

@ Serophous.9085

But some of the problems are, they are alway working on everything, the man question is, “what are they currently topics being focused on” like precursors, they said “yeah it didnt work out, so we had to go back to the drawing board.” ok anet.. are you still working on it? Or did you just forget about it till later b.c your LS is in your eyes(anet eyes) more important.

There are MANY things that high majority of players wants before LS updates/new content. They NEVER say if they truly are working on them or not, they imply they are.

Some things are:
More Dungeons
Precursors
500 Cooking/jewel (this goes with jewel, Crafting ascended trinkets)
Fixed for fotms
Fix for TP
Fix for Pve Condi
More pvp options

Yes the Update someone this a bit, like pvp tracks, but mostly pvp community wanted more options in maps/game type (yes rewards was in there) we got the rewards, but what about the things that keeps it fun? like maps and game types, Playing tpvp with 1 game mode and 4 maps will get bored VERY fast.

J Eberle.9312:

While we’re at it, I’m upset that I have to do open world mapping to get my legendary. It’s forcing me to play a game mode that I don’t like to get something that I want. I know a great many players who are bored of open world mapping and so I don’t think that this requirement is fair. This is simply a tactic to get dungeon hardcores like me to go out and do open world content. I would prefer it if I just had to get dungeon master instead because I only do dungeons. I also spend lots of money on gems and so my opinion is probably worth alot. Really I think it’s important that GW2 gets with the program and stops forcing someone into playing content that they don’t enjoy.

Basically its this kind of logic. And the reason it’s flawed is because of a few things-

When you want something, its different to when you need something. When you want something you should be prepared to make some sacrifices or do things that you may not want to do. Eg, I want these new clothes, I have work some extra shifts to pay for them. When you need something you may also need to make sacrifices, however you may also have a bit more entitlement to something if you need vs. want.

We play a game now with many different people who all play differently. What you may not like, others may enjoy. Not everyone is going to be happy about doing ‘a’ to get ‘b’. I like doing dungeons but I want an ascended armour/weapon set so that my dungeon runs are even better. I have to do something I don’t want to and farm dragonite in open world and WvW etc. Meanwhile somebody else wants a legendary and needs 500 dungeon tokens and he hates dungeons. That’s just how it is. Maybe, somewhere along the way while we’re off doing things we wouldn’t normally do, we discover something we enjoy in doing it. Hey maybe open world isn’t so bad, maybe fractals aren’t that bad. etc. Or maybe we continue to hate those things. Either way though, if you want something, you need to be prepared to make a sacrifice because we live in a world where everyone is different and while you may hate fotm, there’s probably someone out there who’s really happy that fotm relics are what’s required instead of having to endure more living agony.

I understand what your saying but to be far anet has been saying and I agree that LS should stay with LS, Fotm to be far is far from LS (besides that 1 map) and currently isnt about of this LS. So it does make sense that we SHOULDNT need relics. It doesnt even make sense to need relics or AR either (it doesnt fit well) it feels forced on us.

About the +5ar, it became account bound 2 weeks before this back came out… hmmmm I wonder why…. :/

Stubie.5834:

Interesting to see thieves as high as they are coming in. I love my thief but whenever I’m in a group on a different toon I hear peeps complaining about them in pve about being to squishy and people not knowing how to play them.

Thief you really need to know the fights to be most effective. From pugs I dont see many players eve knowing there class at all, the fights or even trying half the time.

Just coe for example: Full ascended, with have might/vul stack, PW (pistol whip) on average hits 20k, having Blinds against Dogs makes there 10-15k pounce miss.

The Trait Improvisation gives thieves 10% more damage with ele weapons: Fighting Alpha in Corner with SoM (Signet of malice heal) + FGS + traits + 200 power from stealth trait you will stay alive and do more damage than all but the ele.

Stealth to skip the Destroyers, Planets and Trash (up to golem).

If no reflects, Dagger storm will give a 8sec Reflect with aoe damage on a good CD for an elite skill (90sec)

If no weapon in hand d/d on a boss (with smoke screen) lets same the Golem (with no protection) 20k back stabs with 3-7k autos, and when at25% and lower (I like to do it at 10%) use smoke screen, stand behind and HS (heart seeker) behind, it will stealth you and give you the 200 power for 15K+ hits 4-5 times in a row within 2-3sec.

Then there is Arah/Cm where I love thiefs so much

Hammerguard.9834:

I don’t think it should be permanent. It would take away from what makes it so precious. Riot also knew this when their massive community cried out for more Ultra Rapid Fire. But taking such a long break from SAB is another thing.

It should be permanent, there is more content in it than CoF. Just make it daily (All rewards for it but the bubbles you pick off the ground).

Seriously, guys. Just chill. I read the interview and nothing is mentioned in verbatim indicating that SAB is not going to come back. I am confident it will come back eventually. Perhaps around mid-season or near the end of the season, who knows?

SAB is not going to come back during the course of LS2 because Mordremoth > Jumping around. Makes sense, but then they go on to say that we may not be seeing SAB after LS2, depending on if, when, how they can fit it in into the overarching story. Also, it sounded like LS was going to be a big, big, big continuation annd that means it’s too intense for jumping around.

You need to learn to read between the lines. SAB is not going to come back ever. They’re not even planning any development for it, at any point. SAB is dead.

It isnt much read between the times, its very clear they have no intentions to bring it back. But yes I was about to same the same thing.

Is there an interview I’m missing?

http://www.guildmag.com/guild-wars-2-interview-part-1-general-game-living-world/

Again, Im not upset because they said no to giving us these things, but Just in the manor of how it was answered and the reasoning’s as to why.

I feel like he just didn’t know how to answer a lot of it and just kinda rattled off the first things that came into his mind. Totally understandable, yet totally disappointing at the same time. For instance the discussion of First person and lengthening the FoV of the camera out in third person. The answers totally contradict each other and then he adds something about the first person camera that is not valid at all. We don’t want a first person camera for combat. We want it for screenshots, vistas etc and viewing others armor, and just looking at the beauty of the game in general. We want the third person camera to pan out more so we can see more of the map during fights of all kinds He says that detracts from us being able to see the beauty of the art work. That in and of itself in’t an issue. The fact that a first person camera would let us do exactly that and then telling us they won’t do it based on combat is quite frankly asinine. Again though, he was giving spur of the moment answers so whatever. No harm no foul.

The way they could fix it though is to give honest answers as to why these things aren’t being implemented.

If anet wasnt ready for these questions than they Truely are out of touch with the players and/or they have no communication within their own staff.

Either way it is a very bad sign.

Preyar.6783:

SAB is coming back, just not right now = SAB is never coming back!
Stop this pointless whining, it’s embarrassing. They can’t just make a world 3 magically appear out of nowhere! And for those wanting a refund for that infinite coin, you knew it was temporary content.

They will always say “it might be back” even if it takes 10 years to come back, that might will always be there for 1 simply reason, Money. If they said no more SAB they will have to refund the Coins.

There is no confirmation that SAB is definitely not returning, which I would suspect be the only case in which support is going to even open your email.

Now watch, as no one pays attention to that.
I had to hammer someone in-game with question after question, most of them repeats, before they would acknowledge that they didn’t have all the facts and were incorrect. I can’t stomach fear mongering.

I cant stomach anet not giving any real information but instead explaining things in a way to manifest fear. Instead of rewording it to make players understand there are certain things they wish to get done before adding these other features back into the game or creating new ones.

Simply put, Anet chose to give bad news when in reality if said in a different way would give hope and joy.

I don’t think anyone’s afraid Super Adventure Box isn’t showing up when they want it. Demanding refunds, being surprised by vague answers, this is more akin to a tantrum.

I wonder what the demographic would be like for Super Adventure Box in China.

My comment had nothing to do with refunds at all, I have no opinions about refunds atm. But it wasnt the Vague answers, it was how they were worded, You can give a vague answer and still make it sound positive and hopeful.

Played gw1 for 8yrs, Played gw2 for over 6k hours (6,253hrs).

This latest interview brings nothing but sadness to my heart, disappointment.

Anet, gw2 is not your child, You might have given birth to it, But you gave it to US the Players, You may be its biological parents, but we feed it, raised it, gave it life and happiness.

I honestly dont know If I can play anymore.

It isnt what we arnt getting, its how your not giving it to us. That interview, you could have explained things in so many different ways to give us hope and joy, you could have (SAB for example) said, “we would love ot bring SAB back, but we had to put in on pause for now, we really feel that PvE, WvW and PvP needs some more TLC and updates before moving onto other aspects of the game.” But in stead everything you said just felt so negative.

As a long loved player, I fear for this games direction.

I could live with them never expanding SAB but I cannot accept never being able to play it again. It should be permanent and if it was permanent in the first place there wouldn’t have been a problem to begin with…

if it was permanent in the first place, you’d be bored with it by now.

You mean like the 8 pve dungeons, or the 1 pvp game mode, or even yet the 4 tpvp maps? I mean I only played 4 MAPS for 2 YEARS that have (IMO) less content than all of SAB, and we still play those dungeons and pvp maps daily.

Becka Williams.4978:

So, they bring back SAB. You guys play the hell out of it. And then you complain that it never changes, and you’re bored, and why won’t anet bring out world 3. Then you come to the forums, and complain that anet’s ignoring your favorite part of the game. Oh wait, that’s already happening.

Umm IDK if you know this but THE WHOLE GAME IS LIKE THIS.

PvP, 1 GAME MODE!!!!!!!!! the pvp community DOES WANT MORE, SAME 4 tpvp maps FOR 2 YEARS!

PvE, SAME 8 Dungeons for 2 YEARS!

Why should you (In you reasons) not let players have sab when other parts of the games work the same way?

I vote for perma sab. No reason there shouldnt be.

Please turn it back On, let us keep it.

I am losing hope in anet more and more everyday, ive play gw1 for 8yrs, Im with gw2, but Im just about ready to give up on one of the most important things in my life.

Anet your losing it, for everyone 1 good thing you do, your doing 3-4 bad things with it.

I’d would like some unique rewards for skill, but I guess that will be pvp new items… oh wait, you can hotjoin/afk solo to get them…. nvm.

Im at 400g atm, I spend about 100g per week on “fun items” I can make 200g i a day at times, other times I wana pvp and make none.

This past two weeks, Ive went from 500g to 0 back to 400g, back to 0 and now back to 400g.

The max I had was about 4k (then got Sunrise and a some “fun items”)

I like the dry top pvp track a lot, ty anet.

I wouldn’t call what Faux typed “critique”.
Lacking or complete, it represents their talent. I’ll not stand by while someone hurls insults because of the possibility that it isn’t affecting their target.

No, calling it crappy wasn’t critique and I don’t blame you for standing up for other people. Under different circumstances I might be doing the same.

I just don’t think calling it crappy is harsh or means much of anything. For all we know, he could be saying that the item itself is simply unappealing overall, not that the art is poorly made.

Personally, I would almost laugh if I created something and someone said, “It’s crap” with no other information. My reaction would just be like, “Why exactly? The hell does that even mean?” It’s kind of hard to take offense to something like that.

I didnt mean the crappy as in the artist art is bad, but as In I personal dont like it.

@Lostwingman.5034, One of the things about this is, anet had an opportunity to make a great scene, a time for player to choose like before, instead they picked to show an old mans ambitions and a childs attitude. The whole thing feels out of place and poorly designed.

If there is a greater reason for this and it comes into play later I will feel better, but still wasnt released in the best way.

For the last time I dont agree with how it is made, I dont care if you agree with me or not, I PERSONALLY DONT AGREE WITH HOW IT IS MADE.

It has nothing to do with the total cost of it, money is no value to me in gw2 I go threw 100’s of gold a week, again I dont agree with the direction the of the materials needed to make it. Im 100% for long fun crafting of skins, but not in this manor.

I feel anet is adding steps/materials for the sake of making these items sell for more gold, INSTEAD of using items that would make more sense or more fun to get/use. Please try to understand I just want anet to tweak the materials used.

Now compare it to the other ascended bakcpieces you can ‘buy’ (like Boyer’s delight and such).

Enjoy the results.

Its the skin that ppl wont not ascended stats, the Ascended stats is a “tax” for the skin, I have 10 ascended back items all from fotm, that I got mostly for free. I didnt make the “gods” back items either b.c im not spending all the gold for a skin I might not use.

Umm 300g for a color tag is way to much gold, It should be something like 10,000 badges +50g + 50 laurels for wvw or something like 5k dungeon tokens + laurels etc…

why make EVERY THING in this game gold base…… we dont need more gold sinks, we need other means to get items so gold isnt as important……

Having more gold sinks doesn’t hurt, especially with the amount of people doing dungeon trains.

Ppl do dungeon train b.c EVERYTHING in this game IS GOLD BASED, if we had REAL REWARD SYSTEM then we wouldnt need gold sinks, Anet wants gold sinks b.c they get ppl to buy gems, instead of have AMAZING COOL items that are worth 10$ to buy.

Needs way to much material for a crappy back. I personally dont agree with the amount of work/items it takes.

If it’s such a bad backpiece why are you even trying to get it? Or is it because you weren’t able to craft it the day it was released and have to work for it?

I was trying the 1st stage, saw the 2nd stage didnt agree with it, so now Im not getting it.

And no I can care less if it takes 1 day or 100 days, why do you think I have over 6k hours played? Not because I get things in 1 day.

It just feels like more gold sinks every update. Oh and the +5 agony is Account bound Im guess that was because we need them for this back and they wanted to drive the prices up for more gold sinks.

I care about this game, other wise I wouldnt have over 6k hours into it. Im saying this out of love not hate.

why make EVERY THING in this game gold base……

Well, as someone said above (I think), it is very much in ANet’s interest for people to need gold, since you can buy it with dollars. And of all the things they could encourage people to pay real money for, this is definitely one of the least offensive to casual players. In addition, one might expect the overlap between players interested in commander tags and players interested in buying gems to be decent at least.

I know its b.c of the gem store, the whole system is broken.

Umm 300g for a color tag is way to much gold, It should be something like 10,000 badges +50g + 50 laurels for wvw or something like 5k dungeon tokens + laurels etc…

why make EVERY THING in this game gold base…… we dont need more gold sinks, we need other means to get items so gold isnt as important……

2 years of the same 8 dungeons, why cant we just have sab all year around. Make I love SAB, its so unique and amazing, please please please please give it to us.

YOUR LETTING AN OLD MAN STEAL FROM A CHILD for the simple reason “for the greater good”.

No stealing from a child…..

NO SAB—-give us fixes/give an expnasion/fix bugs/fix the cursor/try communication—but Nintendo 8 bit jumping in an MMO—or put it back with with absolutely zero (0) rewards of any kind and those that want it can play away for the “fun” only.

We arnt asking for them to spend time on SAB, just let us play in it.

Please bring back SAB NOW! I dont care for new levels, just give it to us.
