Guild Wars 2

Sad to see all the negativity on the official forms, but I wanted to at least take a break from playing long enough to throw in a positive word here.

This update is incredible! I don’t personally know of any other MMO that’s completely destroyed the capital of their world. I also don’t know any other MMO that releases significant content updates every two weeks! And you all have done the first in one of your regular updates and made it incredibly fun and I’m blown away!

Thank you, ArenaNet! I’ve been so impressed and enjoying this so much I’ve been gushing about it to everyone!

Most of the complains and issues people post about are valid and shouldn’t be dismissed. I do like the update though, the new lion’s arch and events are fun.

Completely destroyed? pffft it will be back to the hellhole it was within next 2-3 patches.

Bugs are one thing. But people complaining about not having crafting stations in Vigil Keep? Crafting is way better in Rata Sum anyway, but that’s besides my point — my point is that I personally think it’s awesome when the story/updates affect our gameplay. It makes it more like a real world. So it makes me probably more frustrated than it should when people complain about not having their crafting stations next to their trading post and I’m like, “Guys! Everyone around you just had their homes and livelihood destroyed! And you want to complain because the settlement they’ve retreated to doesn’t have all the amenities you desire?!”

Have you been there? Yes — it’s completely destroyed.

Why act like it’s stupid to enjoy the update merely because you’re SPECULATING about what future updates will contain and pre-assuming that you’ll dislike them?

To the guy who is threatening to quit the game because of being forced to pay WP fees now that LA is gone, it’s not an incredible update!

Lol. Always good to see you, Vol! You’re one voice on the forums I’ve come to appreciate a lot!

I don’t think ANet gets enough credit. All I see are people complaining about them. I love what they did, I didn’t like the constant DC’d. I guess that is what I get for having DSL. Other than that I followed the pack and killed some baddies and enjoyed myself immensely.

Thank you guys for such an amazing, beautiful game.

It’s not about the crafting stations but the gem store pass. There’s a thread about that already so not going to bring up arguments against it here though.

I just don’t think things need to be black and white, liking or hating the update aren’t the only options. :p

But that’s existed every since the Queen’s Jubilee in the form of the Royal Terrace. It’s nothing new.

“Completely destroyed”? pfft it looks a lot better than it ever did before.

Heh. I know from other threads that you like the patch reasonably well at least. Did you not like Lion’s Arch before? Or are you just making jokes?

There’s some annoying bugs, to be sure, but overall, I DO like this update. It feels suitably apocalyptic, and I love all the little ambient dialogue with all the NPCs from Lion’s Arch.

I have my criticisms and suggestions, and there have been bugs, but I do agree that it’s quite an incredible update.

It doesn’t have to be either/or.

It’s been amazing. It’s sparked so much creativity in my guild and other friends, people that haven’t played in months have come back to experience the disaster and have written short stories about what happened to their characters. I just wrote three stories today about various alts.

One character in our guild died. She permakilled her character (who was a long time love interest for my main, so yeah, feels). Not out of dislike of the character but because the character was always an ordinary woman making her way in the world and disasters like this kill a lot of people.

On Enjin walls I’ve seen a lot of posts about character roll calls, what’s happened to them, whether they’re MIA, DIA, or obliviously off in other zones before the news spreads.

I have yet to learn my way around the war zone so it feels as disorienting to me as to my characters seeing their beloved tropical city turned into a flaming wasteland.

I agree with the title of this thread!

I would like to join and say,

my hat is off, incredible event!

love it so much feels like the “chronoscope” raid from DDO but on steroids

also, i would like to as … please =^.^=
make the marionette fight an instanced fight for 25 man squad… ( 5 parties of 5)
it would be awesome!

City of Heroes nuked one of its starter cities once. Originally, when starting out as a hero, you had a choice of entering either atlas park or galaxy city. After seeing that everyone preferred atlas park, the devs decided to nuke galaxy city to make way for the new tutorial.

I find this update to be “meh”. Everything that can be stated is essentially said in the cutscene, and other than the banter between Evon and ho-bo-tron or whatever his name is now, I’ve lost interest mostly. I’m going to do the whole asperger’s thing and go through a full event chain at least once with every toon, but after that I’m done.

Worst event yet…but each to their own. Whole area feels like a grind …hack and collect collect and hack…….New? novel?…WoW so Catacylsmic. Low pop server so YMMV. Captains tickets? Yes I can work around it….but its WORK (F our letter word there) …expecially coming from WvW…..Guild has gone inactive…Time to find a new game and put my money into that I guess…..
