Danikat.8537 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Going by the announcement I assume it will last 3 weeks. The buff is mentioned in the same section as the bit about free LS episodes, which says it's going on for 3 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aigleborgne.2981 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Again, they are giving a bonus that we can't remove if we don't like it...I certainly don't want to speed up my leveling experience, but now I am forced to. Or just take a break from the game ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this make leveling experience a lot easier and faster.I have already experienced in last october buff and it was unpleasant to the point I have stopped playing.Seems too difficult to add a right click option on buff to remove it.

Or just take a break from the game !GW2 scales the player level to the zone they are currently in. So if you take a LV 80 into a LV 15 zone, your stats are downgraded to LV 15. You'll still be a bit overpowered because you will have all traits unlocked, etc, but the XP and gear you get is still relevant. You don't "outlevel" zones the way you used to back in WoW.

I like it the hard way and it is currently not possible.I could play a level 80 character because there it makes no difference, but I wanted to level up an engineer, guess I will have to wait.

Danikat.8537 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Minor point but I really hope GW2 never ends up in a state where a couple of passive bonuses qualifies as an event. My other MMO does that, instead of things like Dragon Bash and Lunar New Year their festivals are almost all a passive XP boost and double the normal drops you can get all year round in 1 map, and somehow this is supposed to be special.I'm told that's what MMOs normally do, but coming from GW1 & 2 it came as a surprise that there were no special festival quests or mini games involved.

That'll make it more challenging so that you get a deeper understanding of playing your class in difficult settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never use black lion or my bank to access other characters items or materials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it bothers you so much, wait 3 weeks and play your level 80 during the event instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
