So, in other MMO’s, do people complain when they pay real-life cash for expansions? Which brings permanent content to the game that they could play at any time?
And now that GW2 is allowing the previous and upcoming content to become permanent, of which Season 1’s total cost if payed with real cash (because you can purchase with in-game money – don’t see that being an available option in many other MMOs) will roughly be around $60 for 24 previous content updates – about the cost of an average MMO expansion, or even less? With which 24 content updates is worthy of being even 2 expansion’s worth of content, depending on how they are delivering it.
So what is the uproar about?
Over the nearly 2 years of this game’s existence, the only cash you had to pay was for the client – that’s it – all other cash spending was optional. And now that you might (I need more emphasis on that word), might, spend some real life cash on expansion-worthy content (because, as I mentioned, you can use in-game currency), people are raging about it?
As if no other MMO has ever forced people to pay for new content in some way?
It will be added on June 3rd on the battle historian.
Via livestream.
It is possible the Pact will be there for Season 2.
Why?
-There is an NPC now in the Grand Plaza of Lion’s Arch – the one that shows you the cinematic – which if talked to, will say that the Pact now has an interest with what is going on due to the next season being linked to a dragon.
Possible and likely, but not definite.
Just found this out as well, don’t think that was here before the update. If that boat wasn’t there, I would just shrug this off, but because there is a boat, I am very intrigued by who was here before. And to add to that curiosity, it just happens to be outside of the Tengu gates.
Very intrigued, and I hope the cave does mean something.

That was a great ending, undoubtedly bringing a lot of suspense for the next season.
Looking forward to the epilogue, although I wonder what Taimi’s reaction to hearing of Scarlet’s death will be.
There is one to the south-west of Vigil Keep, next to the bridge you cross to get to the tents area.
I admire you deeply Christina, and wish you all the best.
That event, similar to the Moa escort event, triggers around 40 minutes past the hour (XX:40) every time. It starts outside the Commodores Manor.
As far as I know, they are only used for the Spinal Blades. So unless you plan on using them to make the ascended piece for alts, destroy them for extra space.
I’ve loved this event so far. Even though the concept is not so different from ones we’ve seen before, we really do feel like we have to save as many lives as we can in this one. And if you do that successfully, you get some reasonable amount of loot.
I’ll throw a digital toast in your name ANet.
What are you spending Found Belongings on?

Tomes of Knowledge are better to buy.
As given above, obsidian shards can be cheaply bought with karma.
I would find it more realistic if when I hit an OP NPC with a knock-back, say, by the edge of a cliff, or the rail of a bridge,that they would go over the side, just like me were the tables turned. I would find it more realistic if the OP NPC’s were not ever-so-conveniently, immune to the one specific spell or ability that might allow me to survive the fight. I would find it more realistic if, say, the OP NPC were in mid-cast & I were to move out of it’s direct path (not dodge, move <—— more realistic if they were one and the same, because they are.) it would miss me instead of follow me like a guided missile.
I’ve got MANY more where these came from.
Yes, but isn’t this a thread about the sky lasers?
Whatever happens in the next update, it will be about what is inside that hole the drill is working on.
Not 100% correct.
It will be about to go on the drill. There is an arena and plattforms where we probably will kill scarlet.
Then that wouldn’t be a very fitting ending to Season 1 that will ‘rock Tryria to its core’.
Whatever happens in the next update, it will be about what is inside that hole the drill is working on.
It’s not realistic at all. These lasers should take quite a bit of energy to fire and the aetherblade simply waste them to kill people who are alone?
Shouldn’t these lasers be used on the zergs instead so they can kill many more people?
This doesn’t make any tactical sense whatsoever.
So you would find it more realistic if there were just NPC’s trying to stop you saving citizens?
While they can be very annoying when there are two, they really do add to the realism of a ‘siege’. There should be many things trying to kill you in a siege, and it should really make your character start dancing a little more often.
Hmm, 23 hours later, and still bugged?
As long as the Ogden’s Hammer guy is safe, the others don’t matter!
Definitely need some more incentive to encourage players to actually look everywhere for survivors.
