Yeah, I didn't feel like I needed a break, it's not like they were terribly taxing or anything. I'm wondering if the Intermission is itself one of the 24 weeks? Maybe a week for the Side Stories? But then the Meta Achievement doesn't make any sense as you'd finish Tier 2 when you complete Episode 5 of LS3. Not a good sign for those expecting an EoD release this year. Edit: Of course, next week is Dragon Bash in Hoelbrak, so there should be some updates and maybe even a epilogue to IBS added to that festival. Edited June 16, 2021 by Pifil.5193 I meant to say epilogue not prologue 1 Link to post Share on other sites

If you look in the top right corner where it says: Quote Living World Return: Seeds of Truth and Point of No Return And left-click on that it says: Quote This Week: Season 2 Episodes 7 and 8.

notebene.3190 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I wouldn't mind a week intermission to chase down this year's Dragon Bash meta. 🙂 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Farohna.6247 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Probably intermission for holidays, anniversary. Gives some people time to catch up if they've missed out. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites
radda.8920 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) if there is a week break at each festival, we will not have EoD before December minimum Edited June 15, 2021 by radda.8920 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Dami.5046 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I expect it's a break in-between seasons *sigh* I bet they come out with people are falling behind and need to catch up. *double sigh* 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Pifil.5193 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I'd say both are true. From gw2efficiency I can see that the players registered there aren't exactly flocking back for this. Maybe new players will be more incentivised by these. And it's not like these rerun weeks have been packed full of achievements that take a long time to do so I'd find it hard to believe that many players are struggling to complete these. I'd say these Intermissions are because arena net need more time and have to pad these reruns out even more to distract from the lack of new content. Link to post Share on other sites
Eloc Freidon.5692 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 The intermission is so unnecessary. The amount of content in two LW2 chapters don't compete with even one LW3 episode. LW3 and up is going to seem overwhelming by comparison because of all the stuff on every map. It looks like EoD won't be coming out this year because of this alone. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
LucianDK.8615 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Exactly, completely unneeded. Takes so little time weekly to do this. Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently it was a count down to "you won't be able to progress for three weeks" the counter is gone, replaced by the Dragon Base festival. Actually, it's more likely "you won't be able to progress for four weeks" as three weeks brings us up to July 13th and the Twisted Marionette. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Pifil.5193 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 With similar Intermissions for the Queen's Jubilee, Halloween, Wintersday, Lunar New Year, I'd say they could make this stretch until February or March next year. Link to post Share on other sites

That's assuming that you have to complete the whole return to living world seasons + IBS before they release the expansion. But my non-existent money is on them releasing the expansion shortly after the livestream event. Thus why we get the precursor token FIRST instead of after completing all seasons. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I've read this theory in a couple of places, that some or all of LS4 and the final 8 week tier will drop after the expansion to fill the gap between the expansion and whatever kind of LS releases they will have and I hope that's true.
