hugo.4705 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 What I would like, is re-adding access to world 3-1 to unlock super secret moto's lab access within Rata Sum. The last time it was in 2013, back to school edition but I missed it. Or at least unlock the lab to everyone :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim West.3194 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 SAB is pretty cool. It's one of the big 3 in my book - Wintersday, Halloween and SAB. We need more fun festivals. Don't really care about the other festivals. They could use some work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always been under the impression that Anet's teams are more like project teams at my work - where people come and go as needed based on their skills and can be in multiple teams at the same time, or none if their work is more wide-ranging. They do have a festivals team and they've stated that they took that team to make the chair update. It's in one of the Q&A's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, on tribulation mode you can't activate a checkpoint without all players in the party present!

AliamRationem.5172 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 SAB has a lot of fans and represents one of the most unique features you'll find in any MMO out there. For that reason I think it would be worth putting a little development time into expanding upon it. Not that I expect it will actually happen, but I don't think it would be resources wasted if they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite, though, the gliders, the minis, the boomboxes. You cant imagine how happy I was when no SAB mounts were announced The accursed content follows me everywhere.

I’m on the opposite side, I never understood how people can enjoy SAB when its only noises. Its not grumpy fun-hating, its more like its the sum of everything I would dislike. Awful music and sfx made of beebing noises. If I wanted to listen to that I could just turn on my radio alarm. And the artsyle is a perversion of the old 16bit, but its 3d and and HD, so instead of looking retro it just looks off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jwake.7013 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Since SAB is an annual event, not really sure how it could be cancelled whether the dev who mainly worked/built it is gone or not (which is a very sad thing to hear none the less). Though this pretty much puts a can on getting a world 3 ever, which is most likely the biggest thing, as far as SAB goes anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaxares.5419 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 It probably won't be cancelled, but with the news today that Josh Foreman is one of the devs being laid off, I think that pretty much kills any hope of ever seeing Worlds 3 and 4. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's nonsense. If people "hate" anything, that's the items that can be used outside of SAB. They break the immersion and also annoy the heck out of people (visually, but mostly audibly).

hugo.4705 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Sab itself is great. (Not speaking of items, gizmos, weapons etc) But for people like me that love that minigame, festival, call it whatever you want even 8bit nightmare.... we should have seen w3 and w4, it's untolerable not having them after 6y. I want to save Miya and earn the supprah reward: Miya outfit with 10 000 baubles. But what is the saddest is that asuran worker hitting with his hammer on the Polymock's asuran gate for 6y now too, that's another story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with many, I have reskinned a big portion of mine (some because of the noise, yes). But that's a different topic, no? At least, the legendaries don't look like old computer graphics, so they are to be considered less "immersion-breaking." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
