Guild Wars 2

Given the surplus of negative threads flying left and right, I thought I would balance this negativity out a bit, by just making a positive thread!

Don’t want to add it much substance, but to say that I love GW2 as much (actually more) as I did day 1. I have been happily spending money on Gems and using them for whatever reasons (keys, upgrades to accounts and characters) and will continue to do so, because I think Anet deserves and I know they will put the money to good use.

Obviously they have turned more profit orientated, but how do people expect Anet to survive against giants like Bioware, Blizzard, etc? It’s time to stop being hypocritical and realize that their goals are: 1- Make profit; 2- Give players a great experience. And that’s about it…

People keep complaining about content, bugs, whatever blah blah blah… It is fine, we are all entitled to opinions and if we expose them in a constructive way they are super useful! But the truth is, this game is great, halloween is super fun… It all looks like a surreal circus! Even the zerging around doors is funny… Not to mention the quests looking for info on the Mad King and all the little details spread around Tyria.
In any case, whatever you might or might not fancy, this is not what defines the game though, and it seems people are reducing GW2 to the Mad King Returns.

And while this thread doesn’t add anything, neither the majority of the threads complaining. Saying “I hate this and I am going in the corner and not look back at you”… really, does not help in ANY WAY! I swear, I saw threads complaining about the most surreal things… I love the ones saying “I am bored of GW2”… Who cares? Don’t play! I am bored of my car! Do I go and blame the company that produced it? No… I blame on humanity and the fact that we do get bored of things! Blame it in the Human brain and life itself… And then I take the bus or cycle to work! It is that simple…

There is so much negativity that I can only think the world gone crazy! It’s like no one can see any positive thing anywhere! Dudes… Life is too short! So just enjoy it! And if you want to make it more enjoyable, then do something positive and constructive about it! Random rants will take you nowhere and will prove that life will just be what you are putting your effort in… a huge pile of crap!

Anyway… Long story short, I love GW2 to bits, I love the Halloween Event, I love the Gem Store and I pretty much love everything else that ANet has done and put into the game.

A mature, happy, positive human being and GW2 player,
M.

People aren’t board of GW2 rather than being disappointed, guess you have not read threads very well and just don’t get it, don’t you?

For casual player this event is not fun, but a kind of punishment for not advancing into the game fast enough. Take Ac1 for example…you need to be at least level 33 to be able to finish it without help.

A fact that BLCs are not giving you what its suppose to, paying a lot of money to be rewarded with ordinary items. Even the new mystic forges chests has almost similar chances (Bug: not all boosters work)

Achievements that forces you to grind either carving pumpkins scattered or skeletons out of door which either bugged or don’t give you enough kills.

Please pay more attention, for example:

Ah and forgot to add, new costumes that require real money, I know you can trade for gold but as I said, for whoever advanced in game enough to accumulate enough gold to trade for gems…

I read lots of threads and I wasn’t specifically mentioning the BLC issue. Which I also think was completely blown out of proportion… I spent quite a bit of money and got no rare skin! And? But this has been discussed to lengths elsewhere and I have no intention on doing that here.

Anyway… I am a quite casual player (I just made it to Lvl60 and I had the game since the beginning) and I think this event is SUPER fun! It is an extra to what was already giving me so much fun. People assume they are entitled to get things out of it… I also assume a lot! But I only assume that I want to be surprised and have some funny moments! Which I DO… Since day one! And NON-STOP!

Bottom line… I will keep posting positive happy threads saying “I love everything about this game” “I love the colour of the grass in the human’s starting area” “I love how the water flows in rivers” “I love how the whales look in the open sea” and other threads such as that! Useful like the threads “I am bored of the way the the hay dances to the wind” “I am bored of how swords look pointy” and such other pearls of wisdom and fine examples of positive constructive remarks.

Positives constructive feedback is always nice !! I just wanted to say that people usually don’t complain without a reason. I love this game a lot which makes me upset to see what is going on in forum in regards to Halloween events T,T

Cheers

I agree completely. I’ve had this game since the betas and have fun with every part of it since. For people that are complaining about ANYTHING with this game, call the F down. Sweet lord, it’s only 2 months old! Compare it to anything else when it was 2 months old and you’ll see the same kind of complaints. Games are like music, movies, books, tv, and hell, even food. Not everyone is gonna be happy about it all. Don’t like it, please quit playing. Or just wait awhile and read the patch notes every now and again. Once the “broken parts” that were making you cry so much are fixed, come back and try it again.

As for the Halloween event, I like it. I’ve done all I can so far (scavenger hunt, candy corn mining, pumpkin carving, and brawl), and I’ve liked it all. Only thing I’m not that big a fan of is the grindy-ness of the brawl if you want the King title (500 wins). I’m on 216, and that’s only with one weekend day of playing. Also, never used a witch or Mad King outfit (just jumped in the cauldron till I got the zombie (also just noticed you can get a tonic that lasts an hour with 35 gems)). You can’t honestly expect to get the absolute best things out of a game if you can only play for 30min a day. Anyone that has played any game must know this.

All in all, I payed however much to buy the game and got my money’s worth within the first week of playing it I feel. Everyone just needs to calm down and enjoy how they can. If you’re seriously upset that you can’t get an exclusive skin, and you want it that bad, make it happen. Quit your job, divorce your SO, send your kids to camp, barricade yourself in a fallout shelter with months of rations and multiple copies of Carly Rae Jepsens’s album on vinyl (vinyl sounds better…duh), and just make it happen.

Ugh, back to work I guess. Have a good day.
