@flexibleFLIMINGO I feel you on this one. If i could change it most certainly would. I think a portal rotation would be amazing to have. Especially when we are talking about getting achievements. I work hard for mine, so it would be more of a reason to jump back in.

@EA_Shepard which boss hunt was your favourite? I think mine would be either Yeti King or Sasquatch.
I unfortunately didn't get to play Spooky Squash 😢
- 2 years ago@EA_Shepard If you ask me, I think that a good mystery portal rotation would be to have these game modes for the following months:
February
Cats Vs Dinos
March
Brothers Knomus Boss Hunt
June
Capture The Taco
July
Sasquatch Boss Hunt
September
Soil Survivors
October
Spooky Squash Boss Hunt
November
Legends Of The Brawl
December
Yeti King Boss Hunt - 2 years ago@Hieldanka Yeah I like your order, it looks good, but what about January, April, May and August?
- stukapooka2 years agoLegend@Hieldanka Great list. Love that it follows through on my idea of the boss hunts being decently spread out.
- stukapooka2 years agoLegend
@ForeverKnightsA few ideas would be to use the tale of the taco modes like hot headed rumble, dairy panic, farewell taco, snack attack, or lunchtime in the lab. Ones that are simply more unique than the ones we have now.

Yeti King Boss HuntI love this list! Nicely done. And I agree, it does go well with the boss rotation!

@flexibleFLIMINGO That's a really good question. Well, Halloween is a favorite so when the Spooky Squash came out it was joy! On the other hand, in The Yeti King all their dancing was pretty good too.
I like Time Park, so the Brothers Gnonus will always be up there was no nonsense with the brothers either.
- stukapooka2 years agoLegend@EA_Shepard The brothers puzzle not being affected by clueless teammates screwing you over also helped it alot.
Other than that though spooky squash was probably my favorite since i play zombies more.
I never got a proper swing at yeti king. We need that rotation fixed so i can strike that dabbing monstrosity down with my maxed level Torchwood! - 2 years ago@stukapooka I haven't heard "tale of the taco" before, are you sure they're gw2 game modes?
- stukapooka2 years agoLegend@ForeverKnights Tale of the taco was a celebratory dlc near the end of gw2 (nlt sure if it was before or after wall nut hills but they're close together) that was a host to altered modes that had items drop on the field that gave the players buffs.
You can read it on the wiki. - 2 years ago@Hieldanka oh man, that list is lit!
- 2 years ago@stukapooka sounds fun, it kind of sounds like it only happened once though. Cause again I've never heard of it. Who knows, maybe they'll put that back in the new rotation too.
- stukapooka2 years agoLegend@ForeverKnights Yeah it was a limited event but it was pretty fun from what i remember.
I swear they somehow managed to pick the least liked modes out of the events to create the rotation schedule we have now. How capture the taco survived must have been some act of divine intervention. We couldnt even get something slightly more unique like lunchtime in the lab.
We can only hope they take it or a few other modes to fill in the gaps of lists presented here. - 2 years ago
@stukapooka Oh yeah, I remember tale of the taco (but I only remember the "Taco panic" and "Farewell Taco" game modes), ok here's the new list with the those game modes included:
February
Cats Vs DinosMarch
Brothers Knomus Boss HuntMay
Capture The TacoJune
Taco PanicJuly
Sasquatch Boss HuntAugust
Farewell TacoSeptember
Soil SurvivorsOctober
Spooky Squash Boss HuntNovember
Legends Of The BrawlDecember
Yeti King Boss Hunt.Why don't you also make a list?
Maybe that way it can help EA with it's new one.
- 2 years ago@EA_Shepard Thanks! and even if its not in this specific order, the community will still be relived to finally play these great game modes once again.

I think the mystery portal game modes should last the entire month instead of just 10 days, so there is always something unique to play
- defnotayoutuber2 years agoSeasoned Veteran
Thanks for replying! I've been talking to another EA Community Manager in EA's Discord server regarding this, I hope getting this changed will be quick and easy. 🙂

Maybe 2 events for a month?
- Prindles372 years agoSeasoned Rookie@EA_Shepard If possible, can you ask someone if they can make the community challenge chests available like, every six months so all of the achivements are unlockable? I remember coming home from school every day and participating in these fun challenges, and it would be amazing to have them return!
- Prindles372 years agoSeasoned Rookie@imaPetalhead That would be amazing if they changed the mystery portal, you and shepherd will be legends in the gw2 community!
- stukapooka2 years agoLegend
Regardless of how all this turns out I gotta say i'm happy to see a lot of engagement in the the community right now as I thought these forums dried up a whole after bfn got canned.

@EA_ShepardYeah, out if all the game modes, Boss Hunt was definitely my fav, and although I never got to play Spooky Squash.
Based on the videos I've seen on YouTube, I can definitely tell that its gonna be fun!
- 2 years ago@EA_Shepard i know this is a lot to be asking but- even with boss hunts theres 2 more achievements that is Still impossible to get. theres a achievement that requires you to meet the contribution requirement 3 times on community challenges and another one needs you to open 5 community challenge chests.
