That's the most pointless PvE-Update ever

I mean, nice that finally after all these years WvW gets some love, but what exactly was the thought process behind adding jadebot stations to the cities whose only (!!!) purpose it is to summon a jade bot to fly around when pretty much everybody now has Griffons and Skyscales?

I was under the impression that these stations also would FINALLY allow us to switch jade bot chips outside of Cantha, since it's such a hassle to always having to go there to swap your chips around, but: No. All you can do with these stations is fly around with the jade bot in the major cities.

That's completely pointless!

The year has just begun and more update content for the WvW has already been announced. The Jadebot also has a lot of potential for updates, but everything takes time and testing phases are also necessary. First wait, then complain.
But the workbenches would be really nice in the cities (was even announced somewhere on the outskirts times, just can't remember exactly where). Presumably too few players still use the Jadebot, so it has been downgraded in priority.

Well, flying around with the Jade Bot is fun for me.

Yeah, it's really fun. The view in the grove from above the leaves is beautiful :)

The writings all over the wall, people just don't want to read it.

 

I'm looking at the wall, but all I see is something about cake being a lie.

Maintenance mode.

Not sure that means what you think it means.  How do you define maintenance mode?

[fenriswolfman.5486]

Rift is in maintenance mode for example. Gw2 is anything but.

As long as they don't add any more jade tech stuff to the 5 racial cities, I'm happy. Feels out of place to see jade tech in Hoelbrak or the Grove, for example.

And, still doing it on a daily base or has the novelity already completely worn off?

Regarding that these stations already seem completely abandoned whenever I walk past them: Thanks for Nothing, Arenanet.
