Re: [Resolved] Change the Mystery Portal Rotation, Please!


@stukapooka wrote:

@EA_ShepardWell per season i meant a specific month during them like october halloween timeframe for spooky squash or december/january for yeti king.

Keep the rotation timeframe similar to how it is now of lasting roughly two weeks after the tuesday the events come on and then switch to another one such as soil survivors or cats vs dinos for the next month.

Basically just make a rotation where every month has something unique about it that can include all the special gamemodes that have achievements and items related to them over the mixed modes we're getting now that players are sick of already.


Halloween being one of my favorite holidays I am all for that happening! Yes!

The rotation is on point. This way you can swap over once done, it doesn't get repetitive. That's a good callout. Cats vs Dinos was a cool one. I enjoyed playing that.

I am an achievement hog so any mode that has those in it, I will absolutely play for sure. I am all about that. This is the feedback we like to have. Mix it up, make it more fun and something to look forward to and less repetitive. I gotch you!

    @EA_ShepardYes that's it.

    The community loved capture the taco but its sadly the only truly unique mode that's still in the rotation.

    We would love having a better rotation schedule out of the modes that are already in the game and coded just not being used right now.

    Mods being able to add them back into solo play only makes that dissapointment worse since we know its possible.

    The community is not asking for more updates since the game was left years ago, just a simple switch to make it better in its twilight years.

  • @EA_Shepard will we be able to play the yeti king boss hunt for the coming Christmas? We'd really appreciate it if you could bring these game modes back as soon as possible. thanks again!

    I hope I'm not being rude when I ask this, but what would be your best guess as to when these changes might be implemented?

    I just know the community would be ecstatic if we could play boss hunt by this Christmas.

    @EA_Shepard It would be great if the portal could be open more often, before they changed the rotation I think it was open almost all the time and the modes changed every few days. If possible, maybe it could be set to be open all the time and change modes every week
  • @Spinagus as long as they change the mystery portal rotation to include the good game modes like boss hunt, cats vs dinos, and capture the taco, then I'm happy
  • @HieldankaThis.

    The more i think about the more i think that capture the taco still being in was some kind of freak accident that nobody caught to replace with another randos rapid revenge electric boogaloo.

    I don't wanna sound like i'm giving the devs crap since we know a lot of background drama went down during that timeframe but seriously how did they manage to pick the most mediocre modes on par with what i could make by spamming crazy mode options in solo play instead of ones that are loved by the community.

    @stukapookaI completely agree, lets just pray to the game god, that EA will finally change the mystery portal game mode rotation.

  • @Hieldanka After all this time I don't expect anything to happen but if it did I would make a great comeback to gw2 to play them.

    Espcially to help the bosshunt newbies, i use to get annoyed by inexperienced players in the lobby but now i'd just probably be happy to see them.

    @stukapooka Personally, I've been preparing for years, for the day boss hunt returns, I've seen videos of the Yet King boss hunt on crazy mode and so I've made sure to save up money, pots, bots an revives for the day it returns.

  • @Hieldanka I've downloaded a few mod hunts that allowed AI teammates but it was never the same as the actual thing, even if cozmic chad and thanos tree were fun fights.

    Playing modded wallnut hills with gw2 on a solo play match to jump around as SB just remind sme of the pain of the massive missed opportunities involving the map to this day.

    God I miss the olden days of gw2.

    @stukapookaI have an xbox, which means I can't even use mods. Thats part of the reason why I'm so desperate to change this mystery portal rotation

  • @HieldankaThat sucks. I play both xbox and PC.

    Mods have made up for a lot. But nothing would beat actual change even simple things the mods do like add torchwood and goat to the ai teams.

    @EA_ShepardHate to seem like an overbearing child asking for sweets but on the very slim hope there was any chance the team would look at this, what timeframe could expect some kind of response even if its just a simple "no"?

    The community's just been burned too many times on this.

    I check the forum from time to time to see if there is any news.
    I'm glad to see that at least this time there was a reaction from EA community management and it wasn't just ignored.
    I'm missing the last trophies for Boss Hunt and Community Challenges and it's ruining my whole profile!
    It's a real shame how little EA cares about its paying customers and prefers to spit in their faces.
