I would think it likely they will do other seasons sequentially between content releases as an event. This was something players did ask for after all 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 (edited) Also, there is an event calendar. It doesn’t show in portrait on mobile so link is below (added to op too) https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/events/ Edited January 13 by Randulf.7614 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was something players did ask for after all I'm excited for this. People looking for an easier time completing some of the less-run content, like Tower of Nightmares, will have a better time in there. Anyone looking to get certain achievements done, this will be a good time. With Return To's becoming sequential and predictable events, well, that's just great. Edit: That is, if they do this, which I'm suspecting they will. Please don't take this comment as confirmation.

Yes, I saw a news announcement about it when I was looking to see if I doubled up my post. A pretty neat addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why it skips some sometimes. Sometimes when things are extra busy I will set up posts the day before, hide them, and unhide them when it's time to publish. That may be circumventing the notifications. That's good to know--I'll try to keep that to a minimum. 😄 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real nice to see what's all coming up all in one spot. If there's a way to get here via in-game link (or one on the launcher), that'd be nifty, but as it is now, it's great. "Nifty" isn't something I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willow.8209 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 oh that's cool. This will make the group content more achievable. Hopefully they do continue on to other seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leila.7962 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) I am very disappointed with the LWS1 "event".. first because events should be a special thing on the game about something that isn't on the game the whole year. The LWS1 is there for anyone to play at any time, how's that supposed to be an event? Sure, it will help people to get their achievements but again, the LWS1 content is available the whole year, if people can't get their achievements done now it's because people aren't playing these contents.. and if they are not playing it, it's mainly because it's not fun or not rewarding. Also, the new calendar doesn't mention the Lunar New Year in January or Febuary.. did they forget? Did they not make anything regarding the current animal of the chinese calendar? WTF happened to the event that is actually expected at this time of the year? Edited January 13 by leila.7962 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wvw bonus event is also about content that is already there. Same for fractal rush and world boss run. I only see positives soo far and a chance to get some of the missing achievements i have for ls1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiamat.8254 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I'm happy about this. Didn't really have a good incentive to do LWS1. If it's like the last return to living world you get some nice rewards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I dident say I was against it I just answered the poster I quoted. It is the same as the festivals just less reliable when we get them.

Teknomancer.4895 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) 18 hours ago, LSD.4673 said: But...why? I'd say that if they're trying to attract new players who haven't bought all the BLT shinies yet, it might help to occasionally rez the older stuff so it's not full of group-oriented content that's basically impossible for new players to clear. Then there's the massive sale they just ran over Wintersday, basically dumping everything from yesteryear back in there. Looked at from the same "attract & retain new players" frame, it kind of adds up to a conscious effort at addressing FOMO fears. IDK how long gimmicks like that will work though. PS: I am kind of half-hoping that this means the old BL Weapon collections might make their reappearances, too. Some of those designs are really cherry, as Magister Sieran might say.

There's nothing listed yet that's starting in februari and further on, it'll probably be added some time soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
