[Discussion] - Will The Boss Hunts Return?
When will cats vs dinos come back because you can't get some achievements so you cannot 200% the game on PS4/PS5 since if you played in 2017 you get badges for participating in the boss hunt/cats vs ...

@hellishgother I've been doing a lot of big and expensive projects this month so I'm not excpeting any big things for christmas but this would probably be the best gift i could get now.
If the Boss Hunts do come back during Christmas I won’t be popular with the family, as I will be isolating myself in my room - lost to the world - trying to beat them, particularly Spooky Squash, on Crazy
I can't believe how long I have been able to wait for a potential Mystery Portal change, and how patient the community has been as well. Has it actually been 4 years since the last Boss Hunt? It feels like such a long time, but honestly it doesn't feel quite like 4 years so I'm surprised by that.
@TheSprinter85Yes it is really that long ago, and it just goes to show how popular the game is when despite the "nerfed" version of GW2 the Community has remained active throughout those four years.
I am just surprised, that with that commitment and enthusiasm shown by the Community, EA Games hasn't reacted sooner....hoping of course that they actually will.- @ManicMossie same lol, I'm going to play boss hunt everyday until the mystery portal closes again
@ForeverKnightsI did the same initially, but found that the concentration and the suspense when playing really takes it out on you, and I could only manage a couple of them when playing......which is the reason why one gets this incredible high together with the team when one manages to beat one of the Bosses. I found them extremely tough to get through.
- @ManicMossie same, the sheer satisfaction of winning makes it all worth it
- @ForeverKnights I remember each time I won boss hunt, I felt like partying like it was 1999
- @hellishgother I love that reference, and to be honest I will want to party if Boss Hunts return.
@EA_Shepard I wrote this in frosty creek in hopes that yeti king would return for this Christmas, is it good?
@flexibleFLIMINGO Easily relatable to the Yeti King and a good choice showing the bridge in Frosty Creek! That's exactly where one should stand (as a Corn/Pea) when the Yeti King begins to dance and one wants to hit as many popsicles as possible from one position.

These are the things i love to see players do!
@EA_Shepard thank you so much for everything, we really hope boss hunt returns for this Christmas (especially me because next year I might be going overseas in December and therefore might not be home to play yeti king next year, which is why I'm hoping it returns this December).
@Hieldanka If I may ask, what country are you going to visit?

@flexibleFLIMINGO This looks awesome by the way! ⭐
I do hope we get Yeti King back for the Christmas Season too - not just because it would be very soon, but Christmas is the perfect season to do this Boss Hunt and because I'm ready to jump right in if they are added back into the game.
- @TheSprinter85 That would be wonderful for both reasons.
- @EA_Shepard Thanks, and has the team said anything boss hunt returning?
- @TheSprinter85 Looks like there’s no Christmas miracle happening for GW2 this year, I just checked the mystery and it’s Rando ridiculous revenge
- @TheSprinter85 Thanks and I absolutely agree
- @VendetedFox Either Italy to see Venice or one of the Scandinavian countries to see the northern lights
@ForeverKnightsI just checked, you’re right 😭😭 I’m gonna have to wait another 2 years to play yeti kings boss hunt😭😭
- @ForeverKnights We hadn't received official confirmation from EA as of yet so it was a bit of a long shot. Hopefully we will still get another update regarding Boss Hunts before the end of this month.
@Hieldanka I'd hate to be you right now, sorry bro
- @Hieldanka look on the bright side, you may not be able to play the Yeti King boss hunt anytime soon, but at least you'll be able to play the other boss hunts next year, (If EA intends to bring them back).
@VendetedFox Bruh, this morning when I went into the mystery portal to check if boss hunt has returned, I saw a full lobby of people, but now when I go back to the mystery portal to earn some rainbow stars, I see the lobby is completely empty, its almost like everyone heard how the mystery portal might get fixed and just returned to the game to play boss hunt and when they saw boss hunt didn't return they just played a couple rounds of RRR and left again, lol
- @EA_Shepard Please tell us you've heard something good from the team.
And Apologies, I know its the holiday season and it probably takes a little longer to respond now, I understand. We hope to see a comment from you soon. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! - EA_Shepard
@VendetedFox Not on actual changes being made no. All the top threads have been called out because of player traffic on the forums though so it is getting a lot of attention by folks above me. What happens with that is a we wait and see what they want to do thing.
I literally have to wait like everyone else because I am not actually in the studio right now.
