Woof.8246 Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) Well i don't believe they will permanent , so it's better not to skip it next time 😞 Between this mechanic + Boss Rush // Festival farms /// Goat-WvW-turtleCannonBallLauncher-simulatorcould be some kind of content to alleviate from the content drought between patches. Edit: Or World War Z (brand Pit) zombie scenario , where whoever "tags more" get more. Zone by zone (each have their cd) till the major cities (here you will create Toywalls). You need to infect some to progress that cool looking skin if you die + before the hunger kills you (old activity) , or hunt a pack of deers that may , or many not be players but their default Appearance looks like it . The ground is desecrated-corrupted and zombies gain stealth/damage reduction on it . The defenders should run (maze-like) away , of the undead can activate pods that the corruption will start there and encircle them The original host and his 12x fresh "Generals" have 100million hp (but can escape-reset) that are dropping with each new undead.

SoftFootpaws.9134 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) If the goal is to fix issues with the econemy, then how come they removed research notes from cheap items? You can't make the price of things go up if you don't want players using those things. Edited March 10, 2023 by SoftFootpaws.9134 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't make the price of things go up if you don't want players using those things. As far as I remember, many of the removed items came from recipes where all or most of the ingredients could have been bought from vendors, so they actually worked against the purpose of research notes. I also doubt that fixing material prices is the main intention behind this event, in this case the amount of material would have been higher to be closer to the prices of the rewards, guess it's mainly just a promotion for the shop and statuettes (as it also came together with the updates of them) and the material sink is just an addition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my guess too, hence my request to make all weeks tabs available during whole event. At least prolongate event windows, i.e. week 1 would be available through weeks 1-2, week 2 available through weeks 2-3, etc. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michalvir.8912 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I hope that concept of longer availability of weeks during ongoing BL event will get some attention from devs 🙂 At least we can have some info whether it's a "no go" for this event and finished weeks are "lost forever" or prolonged availability might be considered. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show me someone whose real life doesn't afford them 2 minutes over 7 days to log in and click on something. Using your logic, I guess they should make all the festivals be accessed at any time because hey, some may not be able to log in during the 4 weeks they take place. I was on a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean so yes, I couldn't log on for over a week as the internet connection wasn't good enough to bother taking my laptop. I only just made it back in time for week 2 so having the option to catch up on missed weeks would be helpful. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how in this case making players happy by introducing this suggestion would somehow prevent the latter goal from also still be valid. At least in this case it's not an "either/or" issue. I mean, for economy all that matters is how much overall mats will get spent during those 4 weeks. It's not so volatile however that having the sink in a specific week out of those 4 would have any significant impact.

But gating exclusive achievement (not to mention rewards) behind time window gates seems a bit "meh" in 2023 🙂 I mean...think about it. ONE time throughout seven days. Even people with the most busiest of jobs (unless they travel/commune for work obviously) can make that. And you're not even staying on for an hour, you logging in to do something that maybe takes..two minutes at most. That's not demanding in the slightest compared to dailies. They're asking for the absolutely bare minimum form players. Just seems..odd to point out. Also in 2023? 2023 is no different from the past...decade or two decades gaming has been active. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rankomonaut.4708 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 After getting countless mails when this "side content" started, now we don't get any for coming ones. I deleted many of thosse mails (spam anyone?) and one I left.. which is 1 week old. Coming to LA today I saw it's already Week 3.. Anyone else having this experience and feeling a bit meh about it? 1 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luthan.5236 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) There are no new ones since the overall "event" is still running. Only thing where I missed some partly limited stuff was when I forgot about one of the holiday books. (Could get it a year later though.) For sales I usually keep track in a text file that reminds me of stuff ... like a daily/weekly TODO list. This stuff here is similar. I set this in my list for the following week. Then once I completed week 2 moved the entry to the next week. (I play certain stuff for the current week + the week ahead usually.) Putting the overall achievement (that counts from 1 to 4) on the watch list might also be a simple ingame solution. (As long as you check the stuff you have there ... if there is a lot of stuff and some might not appear in the main UI.)

Actually, most time-limited events start and end on tuesday, as it is a designated patch day. It's been like that since first year of the game. 5 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
