Alexa Scorpionwitch.8567 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Eh, not a fan. I'll play enough to complete a bauble node for my home and see if there are any new decorations for the guild. I'll probably just buy clouds off someone for decorations.

hugo.4705 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 That rare picture found on deviantart (Alemja) is proving that at least rytlock is enjoying SAB:  I also love the Anet trailer for SAB and how it's done, very funny and amazing: You can also find a web browser mini game called Rytlock critter rampage.

A lot of these events leave new players completely lost we wind up not getting anything done because we dont have a clue You go to Rata Sum, enter the portal to the Super Adventure Box hub (top level where the big group of players will be massing around). You will have access to to 2 worlds there. Enter World 1 and you are what boils down to a retro style, 3D platformer. You run, you jump, you collect baubles (currency) and weapons. You'll love or hate it. ANything else you will work out as you progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palador.2170 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I feel I should point out that they can continue the STORY of SAB without ever continuing the GAME of SAB. At one point there was a bit extra you could access, where you got some very strong hints that there's more going on there than you and Moto know. It's not unreasonable that they could start following that storyline to add in some content, even if they can't make an actual World 3. Now... will they? Meh... maybe?

Taco Del Mar.4582 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I love SAB. Wish they would finish it but I know it'll never happen at this point. That's why I left the final world of Trib mode for this year. Going to do that and get those weapon skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taco Del Mar.4582 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 It would be cool if Arenanet allowed some fans to use it and create more/it's own game ala some of the classic games that started out as mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTGuevara.9018 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 --yaawwwnn-- I beat it once....never played it again. For the new players, it was actually developed as being part of a joke(hence April Fool's) but it gained a more substantial following then what was thought. I mean it's not even good 8-bit, it looks so cheesy. Too blocky! Mario Bros, Zelda and the like at least had CURVES in their 8-bit objects. Plus, some of the platforming stuff is gimmicky as you-know-what. Some mechanics just felt like they were shoved in there. Still, I acknowledge that people love it. I (as always) will skip it once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the referances to him I think they could just add him in front of the box in Rata Sun with its special glasses. At least a third boom box with rytlock critter rampage theme from Dusk.

A lot of these events leave new players completely lost we wind up not getting anything done because we dont have a clue Super Adventure Box is one of a kind. A true game within the game. People either love it or don't care for it at all, there doesn't seem to be much middle ground ;) . The origin (as somebody already mentioned) was April Fool's Day 2013, when those weird pixel chests appeared all over Tyria and pixelated mobs would burst out of them if you tried to open it. At the same time, the box itself (a kind of cube that you might've seen standing in Rata Sum, near the portal to Lion's Arch) was opened by it's creator, Moto, who built the world inside as a training ground for young Asura. SAB was expanded with its 2nd release (September 2013) and converted to a yearly festival later on (2016). It follows a lot of the rules of old games in the late 80s and early 90s, like unlocking zone access and skills as you play (via currency you collect inside the box). If you want to describe it in one sentence, it's a gigantic jumping puzzle. Check out the [sAB wiki page](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Super_Adventure_Box "https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Super_Adventure_Box") for technical details, or [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=super+adventure+box "Youtube") for some visual impressions.

zityz.6089 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 would be nice if they had updated it. Only new thing I can see are Gem store SAB themed mount skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody suggested an SAB-themed chair earlier in the thread, and ever since I read that suggestion I've been hoping that ANet had the same idea. Preferably as a new buy option for bauble bubbles, although I'd probably get it from the gemstore, too ;) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I Did It.2854 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Now i just need to know how to bind dodge+jump together so that some of them ridiculous jumps in trib mode can be done, as im hopeless at trying to time jump and dodge together, as it doesnt always register, Seriously Anet made Dodge Jump a command we can set via the options menu.

You will have access to to 2 worlds there. ~snip Just want to precise,if it hasn't been the case before, that the get hub contains 4 world entrances, but only 2 are interact-able since w3 and 4 aren't made, a shame. I hope they bring back world 3-1 with the moto lab in rata sum.(was only available during back to school edition. Btw don't remember those pixel chests around tyria..)

Rabbi Rick.3194 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Hard to be Hyped when Anet fired the developer who created this beautiful 8-bit world on his own time and with a great deal of love. I'll do dailies this year (maybe) and that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
