I can't help but notice it doesn't mention SAB. You might want to fix that before the misinformation spread, Anet.

Wow, more temporary content. I was planning on doing Zephyr Sanctum in August but I guess I'll just play Archeage instead since it will be gone by then.

Your system is probably overheating. Pop open the case and clean out the Dorito dust. Also make extra sure the number of player models shown is at its lowest setting.

If it's not heat the runners up are power or RAM.

The best part about having to do story dungeons now, while levelled, traited and geared appropriately, is how easy some of the real rear end in a top hat bosses who used to ruin you become. That and you can get turned into a chubby cat.

On a totally unconnected note, phalanx builds are very nice!

I'm pretty loving stoked the bazaar is coming back, by far the coolest looking place in the game.

Some of my rl friends got banned for that plus using the money to toss cheap exotics and mispriced karma weapons into the forge for week 1 precursors. (it was probably the last part that boned 'em)

It was definitely the karma weapon part that got them banned, Anet dropped bombs for that, was a huge loving deal. MANGOGATE 2012 was harmless in comparison. Kailtor really liked mangos. RIP Rocode, 1991-2012.

Can we please organize a protest of this?

"Who would have thought a government run by pirates would ever succeed?" Morons, because it has demonstrably failed! How many times will we rebuild this city before we finally accept that it is jinxed? Lionguard up to its eyeballs in debt to true hero Evon Gnashblade. Doesn't he deserve to be repaid before we flush a million more gold into the sea? I just realized that all the buildings in LA were built from ships!! :stonk:

I hope they put some new skins in while keeping the old ones. The real question is are there going to be nerfs to the gold won for each Jubilee win? I will be leveling my last 2 alts during this event because gently caress yeah karma trains! I'm pumped for using the rest of Jubilee tickets, they've been clogging up my inventory for months!

I continue to be surprised about the people who continue to bitch about seasonal content in the same breath as temporary, ie living story, content.

Also, yay for the return of Bazaar and QJ. Hopefully the farming won't be further nerfed from last time.

Stop bitching about temporary content, it's old, boring, and pointless.

LA is a giant hub city that should be rebuilt, it was stupid to not expect that. I'm glad it's happening.

I felt like it's less a complaint about temporary content and more the fact that the living story isn't really doing what it set out to do/what Anet is trying to make it do. I get the philosophy of temp content as a way of keeping people playing consistently as well as progressing the events of the world, but it's more that the "living" part of the story isn't there - regardless of content being temporary, it almost never leaves any sort of impact, which is less of a content-left-over thing and more of an any-way-of-telling-what's-happened thing. For players returning after this arc and LS being reconstructed, one of the biggest potential gamechangers is just going to be rendered moot because ??. Having a central city is good, but it doesn't have to be Lion's Arch, and the fact that it is LA again feels kinda forced.
