“The day will be most memorable in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, bonfires and illuminations (fireworks) from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.” John Adams on how the 4th should be celebrated.
Renamed the post title to “Public dungeons like mad king labyrinth”. Because people know better what that is. This idea is not meant to replace normal event dungeons.
Future sky pirates living stories could include both a *public and 1 to 5 man dungeons". Public one could have DE’s that tell a story leading up to the 1 to 5 player dungeons.
Also this isn’t a Raid suggestion. But a story driven public dungeon similar to mad king labyrinth. Would have a Raid like feel to it.
What you need to do is avoid being hit by Horrik’s cannon fire during the barrage phase of the final boss battle.
So, getting hit by Horrik’s attacks while fighting Mai and Horrik on the ground don’t count against this achievement.
Also, during the barrage phases, other cannons besides Horrik’s are shooting AoE cannon fire. Those other cannon blasts also don’t count against this achievement.
Why should this achievement exist? It makes the fight less enjoyable by telling players how they should play.
There’s searching around Tyria for the hidden collectable content detailed in the achievements, but other than that, not much.
here’s the thing: It has been said and shown in the past many, many times that this game is going to be consistently trying to get you to play with other players. Dungeon content like this simply doesn’t work as well with one player, as the mechanics are clearly designed for a party of 5. reworking and retuning each dungeon that comes out so that single player people can play through it (Despite the game being an MMO, one that specializes in player groups) would be an unnecessarily large use of arenanet’s time.
I strongly, strongly recommend you find yourself a nice casual guild or a casual pick up group. I’ve actually never been in a dungeon group in this game in which I’ve needed to use an outside voice program, and I’ve been a dungeongoer since launch. All of the pugs on my server (maguuma) are keyboard communication only. This dungeon isn’t so difficult that it requires THAT much cooperation.
But this is going to continue. There are going to be more group-only dungeons in the future, just as there have been in the past. I suggest you try and see if you can find a nice, comfortable way to adapt so that you might enjoy the game more.
Well this is an MMO isn’t it?
I want more open World Content and not only one more dungeon for two weeks. This is more like a multiplayer game content that new mmo content to keep the world feel living.
And as the first post said, i don’t want to play constantly with other people. Sometimes i want to make something alone or with a big group.
I love mmorpg’s and they should give me the freedom to decide how I play it, and not only give me monthly dungeons that are too hard for my feeling.
It’s good that they implement new content for hardcore-group-gamers, but I miss the open world stuff that changes the world forever… and thats what a-net said when they introduced the living story… content that changes the world…
I agree that the living story should add content that changes the open world. Not just during the event but afterwards too.
My suggestion is referring to the “mad king labyrinth”. The small zone with DE’s and not the Mad King Realm which was the dungeon. Editing the first post so people are not confused.
DE’s are designed so players can solo but help out. In Fact most players are soloing while working together. Soto say solo players shouldn’t be playing is idiotic.
How about giving players a dungeon and a “mad king labyrinth” style map.
Did anyone like the “mad king labyrinth”? Imagen zones like that with different themes “Ex. sky pirates” that has story driven DE’s. And multiple stages for players to unlock.
How about making dungeon like areas that work like the “mad king labyrinth”. It was a mini zone with DE’s in it. That anyone could enter without grouping up. By doing the dungeon in stages and only the players who qualify can move to the next stage area. To see the next part of the story.
This suggestion isn’t criticizing the sky pirates dungeon. It’s just suggestion a new type on dungeon for living stories.
It’s RNG. A dev awhile back even stated that MF only affects drops from mobs. If I stripped my character and danced, getting 5 tickets within the first 1k coffers wouldn’t mean that was why I got them.
People who don’t have an understanding of statistics try to rationalize what they feel are patterns. In several of the other million threads like this people have posted links to these fallacies.
What if the developer is lying or that has be changed?
This is a BTP game. Anet needs to make some money from the gem store. To make new content, pay their bills and give NCsoft a cut. It’s this or more gem store RNG boxes.
Most mmo’s don’t add any major additional content until their expansions. That are not usually released in their first year.
IMO you have this partially correct, the new content being worked on is for other NCsoft titles like Wildstar not GW2, some to pay bills, most to the NCsoft cut. RNG boxes are the spawn of satan/NCsoft.
Wildstar looks like it will make money too. Maybe not as much as GW2. But some of Wildstar’s money will go towards a GW2 expansion.

Just give cosmetic mounts like the broomstick.
*the same temp speed boost as running
*no time limit for mount
*fall doesn’t knock player off cosmetic mount
*Enemy attacks slow mount just like it slows running speed.
*Continued enemy attacks forces dismount
Tonics should be treated as cosmetic mounts.
*Give tonics the same things listed above for cosmetic mounts.
*increase tonic time limit to 2 hours
*tonics should have a activated and inactive status like (mount/dismount)
*A tonic activated/inactive any number of during it’s time duration.
Nothing wrong with reviewing cutscenes. Anet should just use my idea above.
Nothing wrong with it, it just shouldn’t be labeled a “reward” as if like they created some awesome thing for our characters that we can shoot for. More like an inventory eater.
The wings are the reward! This is just a free item that takes up space.
Read my idea above and comment on that too. If you’re going to complain about this one reply.
The cutscene should be unlocked and reviewed in the hero panel. Under a new Event and Living Story section. Much like the Personal Story section. Also with the option to save the cutscene to a video file. This would be good for fan sites to use.
Maybe increasing rare drops in other parts of the game is the answer. Like for clearing temples in Orr, High level champions, and Jumping puzzles. Also adding more world bosses over time will spread players out.
You are not given any items for attending aside from perhaps the helm.
I think the wings are handled just fine. Instead you should be glad that they are not a one use item, but that there are mechanics in the game that allow it to be re-used on new pieces of armor. Maybe not as easily or cheaply handled as warcrafts system (which can’t be used across characters), but you just need to remember you can’t bounce the item between items like you are changing underwear.
I want Anet to know it’s wrong to give out a item for attending an event. That the player has to spend gold or destroy another item to transmute the gift. Just so the player can use it.
Agree, It should be account bound. Because many of us have been playing the event with all our alts. The one reward for participating in the whole event should be usable for all our alts.
I don’t think a small bar of max 3 slots would be considered “cluttered” trust me the last thing I want is my UI looking like that regurgitated mess WoW had…. 3 slots, that’s all we need.
A food buff
A potion/stone,ect buff
A minipet put that in the hero panel
How about a mouse over tab Menu that has these options.
The single players instances in Drago Bash are very much like the personal story quests. And work will to create entertaining story.
So why can’t this be done all over the open game world? To give players a reason to revisit Renown Hearts. As little mini stories not related to the main personal story.
That provide some traditional style quest, and loar to each area.
I would call this idea “Mini Story Instances”. Because they are unrelated to the Personal Story. But do tell small stories of the area they are in.
Doing mini “Mini Story Instances” could also create rare DE’s in the open world.
Benefits:
-Cool cosmetics yes as long as they are small like the broomstick.
-Pet dances/gestures lol (just came into head) No mounted animals, thats what minis are for
-Faster way to get around the map temp normal swiftness only
