A plea to extend Super Adventure Festival for one week (or more) :)

[Gizmo.8623]

Hello everyone!Recently I returned to GW2 after about 4-5 years of break. Bought both expansions and having a blast. I just yesterday unlocked both specialisations on my Revenant, did A LOT of HoT, got my first mount, did some WvW and now I started playing Super Adventure Box. It's so cool! I am still in World 1. Exploring, having fun. Wanna do some parties, explore later stages. Watched Youtube movies and there are secrets I never heard of! I just went throught a WORM's stomach! Now I am smelly!

What I mean is - the festival ends in about 3 days. So soon! I know it lasted for a month. And it is like it every year.

But can you dear Devs extend SAB for at least a week?

What there is to do in a pandemic? - I still sit in home, work from home, order groceries from home. And SAB is so relaxing. 2 days ago friend showed me a boombox with SAB music. I was enchanted! Now I am gathering Bauble Bubbles for it and I don't know if I will make it. Still need 20.

I am sure that (almost) everyone would enjoy a bit more lenghty SAB. Is it possible?

Cheers from Poland!Peter

SAB started on the 14th of april, and ends on the 12th of May. It was already extended for a week.

[Inculpatus cedo.9234]

A month (4 weeks) is long enough for a yearly festival, in my estimation.

[Ashantara.8731]

I, too, think that four weeks are enough. I'd rather see it return for a second time each year than have it run two months in a row.

Much as i love SAB, ive had my fill this year. Gib new story plz. In the meantime! Back to finishing launch achievements xD

[Etria.3642]

Yeah, I didn't even bother with the dailies yesterday in SAB and I still need the weapons from that. 4 weeks is way overkill.

[Jura.2170]

I'd like it to be a week longer too

[Tommo Chocolate.5870]

It didn't help that this year it clashed with the GW1 anniversary event. Personally I wish it was available all year round, but I know that's been discussed before and there are a lot of people who vocally oppose it.

[casualkenny.9817]

An extension would be nice just for this period though... Or some other filler, till the next ls spawns next week.

Next week? The next ls starts 26th. That's 2 weeks from now.While I agree that 1 month should be enough for a festival, having 2 weeks empty feels kinda meh.

[Manasa Devi.7958]

Another few days at least to make up for EU server downtime would be nice.

[Luthan.5236]

I'm against it. A few days to compenste for the downtime (or lost progress if it cant be restored ... then we'd already be at half of a week) would be enough. But not another full week.

Already going on for pretty long and it is hard work to do each daily to get the most out of the festival (since we can do stuff only during the festival). It would be more interesting to see SAB twice a year. (If they can't or don't want to make it permanent.)

Another 3 weeks in winter somewhere between the other festivals. (Instead of filling the time with other stuff whe no other releases are possible and it is just "log in and get a exp buff" or "champ kill event". Could run at the same time as well so people can do SAB instead.)

Or they could send everyone on the EU server 8 Crimson Assassin Tokens to make up for the ones we could not pick up via dailies.

I still believe they will have to reset all servers in order to sync stuff. If so, they should have taken down the U.S. servers as well or warn people in advance. Well, we'll see soon, I guess.

[Mavi Kurt.8935]

I want it as a permanent instance like Fractals :D Anyone who wants to do it, should do it, anyone who don't wants to do it, they can do whatever GW2 presents them anyway. There is already so much content to play with and even if you play 20 hours a day you can't possibly join all the meta events and etc in the game. So basically you choose to play what you want to play in this game which is very cool in my book. Making the instance permanent would make some players happy. And those who don't wants to do them don't need to do them anyway. I mean who forces you to do the dailies? is there someone with a gun in the hand telling you "do the gawd da mn dailies or I'll blast ya brain on tha keyboard! arrrr" :D We're playing this game to have fun and not torture. ;)

[doombreaker.3710]

Please give us the Tokens or extend it by 2 days. I really want those collections to be finished soon (ahaha) xD

[Naxos.2503]

I'm partial to this. -If- it was extended, I would only extend it to reflect the days we missed due to the server mishap, so that players are not negatively impacted by it. Anything more than that is too much. Extending it to give players who lost progress due to the rollback, or their inability to login is fair.

[Daeloth.2570]

Extension for the missed time would be nice. That one completely missed day was enough that I won't be able to get the one assassin's skin I was working towards since I returned to the game mid-SAB season :(

I totally agree with it. But more days of SAB wouldn't have negative effects on the community :3

I agree with that too. I'm personally on 7/8 of Course Load, and wasn't able to complete it due to missing a day. If it was extended a single day, or two, it'd be fine.

[gert.7698]

I also would love it when we get a few extra days SAB.

I was planning to do my last achiev monday, then all my SAB achievs where done, but couldn't do it because the servers where down..

true, but that was announced and was valid for everyone. We (EU) were unable to do SAB achievements and SAB dailies for two days because the servers were offline. In addition, I wanted to achieve my very last SAB achievement on Monday, so this could not continue

[Feralnex.4371]

So yeah, i wanted to finish all my SAB achievements yesterday and I couldn't (returned to GW2 few days ago). Today I didn't have enough time to do so because of their rollback. Seriously I'm thinking about refund, it was so hard to extend it by 1 day?

[Eloc Freidon.5692]

"SAB shouldn't be extended because I personally don't like the event" is not a reason that can compete against "extend SAB because of the EU server 4 day rollback."

A refund for you being late to a yearly festival? Interesting think you got your rights a bit mixed up.
