To all the people saying Anet owes us nothing and jumping on my back...well that is their business model. No they don't owe anyone a damn thing, and then you can watch every legitimate MMO player lol at Anet when they release GW2 and never go near it with a 10 foot pole.

And frankly, there are several other F2P MMO's that do regular content updates, so Anet is no godsend in that regard either. Stop defending Anet like its' some kind of revolutionary thing. It's a company plain and simple. This is part of their business model and necessary to get good publicity so they can push out GW2. That is all, it has nothing to do with Anet being so dam "magnanimous" as some of you tend to say in praising them.

If Linsey getting sick set this whole thing back a month, then something is wrong with how work is assigned and delegated. And last time I got sick, I still did what I had to. Excuses are OK, but not when Anet is consistently lagging behind. Whatever happened to 2 months for skill updates?

I know there are more bosses ( and they dont share spawn points), but look at the zaishen bounties---there are TONS more bosses for that and only 60 some were picked (and the majority of those from eye)....so if you look at it that way, there were not going to include all of the bosses---so we shouldnt have even thought they would.

just happy that they gave us something new to do for a week.

I don't see how it's hand holding either. If it was released in one single update, you'd have people complain about the content being over too quickly.

^^^^^^^ This.

The Live Team is planning on introducing as many bosses for WiK bounties as there are events in GW2. Thousands of 'em. True story.

Eragon Zarroc · Jun 06, 2010, 05:33 AM // 05:33

has it cycled through all the possible new bosses already? O_O

Shadowspawn X · Jun 06, 2010, 05:39 AM // 05:39

I'm surprised the content is repeating its self. I figured they would just take out the signpost in the keep and move forward with the storyline. The same old bounties represent stagnation, just get rid of them and lets get salma to the throne.

This would be priceless just to see the screaming about not being able to get easy war supplies!!!

/signed

This!

A friend and I beat EotN the day it was released. I remember being a little disappointed at first but the addictional (spelled wrong on purpose) PvE only skills and titles kept me busy for a while. I can see how being spoon-fed content is frustrating to folks who've already done everything though.

If there's gonna be some new gold weapons then that'll keep me interested! Unless they stick with the uninscribable junk.

If thats the case, don't repeat, give us more of the story quests than turning this in to the ever dying zaishen bounty sign!

pretty plz.

You can't seriously expect them to add new bosses indefinitely.

Also all the bosses there was to kill were there from day one of the event, they aren't quests spawns they are always there - unlike the higher ranking bosses that only spawn when you have the quest.

Benderama · Jun 06, 2010, 10:33 AM // 10:33

i'm fine with it, gave up on the wanted anyway, killing all those foes in HM isn't worth 4 war supplies imo XD

Yol · Jun 06, 2010, 11:28 AM // 11:28

I have no problem with the list being cycled. I'm planning on vanquishing Kryta on a few of my characters soon, and knowing when these bounties will come up will help me in my timetabling. There's no point in vanquishing an area today when there's going to be a bounty for killing a boss there the tomorrow. It's always nice to get some extra goodies while doing something that you were going to do anyway

samspoker · Jun 06, 2010, 02:34 PM // 14:34

With both Divinity Coast explorable and D'Alessio Seaboard explorable opened up with bosses, I suspect we'll see some bounties in those areas.

(D'Alessio is fun. If you make it to the end you'll discover the fate of the pig from the mission cut-scene. Also, bring Frozen Soil.)

Perhaps Gates of Kryta explorable is next.

Mintha Syl · Jun 06, 2010, 02:55 PM // 14:55

What I'm worried about is that now we're having a lot more undeads than before, in kryta. If Salma needs again me to kill the same persons I killed already it certainly means they've been called back from death

On topic: Why is this an issue??? Who cares if it repeats.....weird.

Off topic: How do you get into the seaboard explorable?

You need to talk to Jiaju Tai in Lions arch. Most likely this will be the next assasination or inquisitor quest.
I would love to see more mission area's be explorable like this. Also pretty handy for people doing cartagropher. No need for those long repeating missions

Raven Wing · Jun 07, 2010, 10:08 AM // 10:08

I feel convinced that this small cycle of bounty bosses wont be repeating forever. With more WiK stuff unrolling there will be more bosses and others to be included in bounties.

Also, even when Salma gains power enough to promote herself to queen and official ruler of Kryta it doesnt mean the war has to end. There might still be large areas controlled by mantle and peace keeper gangs rampaging around everywhere. Plenty of opportunies for a future queen Salma to hand out bounties^^

Indeed.

I doubt we'll ever see an "end" to the War (ie. areas rolled back to their previous state, no more Mantles and Peacekeepers around, and such), that wouldn't make any sense.

In a non-subscription game it's sad that so much of this forum is purely focussed on blatantly obvious negatives.

Yawgmoth · Jun 07, 2010, 03:07 PM // 15:07

There are lots and lots of White Mantle bosses spawned throughout all the areas, I expected many more of them to get their bounties. Seriously, it wouldn't be much more trouble to add a larger variety of those bounties as they don't require anything else than copying existing ones and setting different targets. They wouldn't need special spawns like the Inquisitor bouties do.

Ofcourse this is not the end of war and we will surely see some more content, especially given that at least 2 whole explorable areas filled with new White Mantle spawns haven't seen even 1 quest at all. I expect D'Alessio Seaboard explorable to get a mission-like qyest like Riverside Assassination - the layout and spawns of the area make perfect sense for something like that.

McAttack · Jun 07, 2010, 06:12 PM // 18:12

Has anyone else noticed the WiK bounty for today was the same bounty that was 2 days ago? I'm pretty sure Insatiable Vakar (today's bounty) was last available on saturday. I'm not complaining about killing the guy (I really don't care about the quests repeating), but it seems extremely odd that this happened instead of just the entire list of bounties repeating.
