Guild Wars 2

long post, i’ll need to double post some times.

First, thank you Anet for releasing GW2. you dont know how important this little world has been on my life since i started playing.

Second: i’ve been around the LW content, i am very pleased with everything, aside the fact that i really hate scarlet and want to kill her ( hint here: make it possible ! ), im a PVE player, yeah… and i like it. Now, lets move on about what i’ve been reading here on the forums.

i must say, stop crying people! get yourselves together, learn your professions better, get ready to face the problem, stop denying and putting the guilt on the dev’s back! they made some awesome content, from wurm to marionette. if everyone try to look at stuff from other angles, im sure you can beat any challenge, isnt life itself about it? facing challenges and growing better to face more challenges? getting better at the game is a reward itself! you’ll see that as soon as your skill get better you’ll be taking on group events alone even! aw, come on, how amazing is that?

besides the fact that guild wars 2 came to existence as it is, because people looked at MMOs from another POV, have you ever watched the Anet manifesto about MMOs?

and come on, Tyria is huge, get yourself out of LA or queensdale champion train ( i swear i never went to the said train. NEVER EVER. ) theres so much to do, here 12 things you can do while playing guild wars:

1st you can go to the mists, either SPVP or WVW.

2nd daily activities. have you ever tried keg brawl? its kittening cool, every time i join i have a blast.

3rd jumping puzzles, they’re challenging, they’re fun, sometimes the rewards arent as nice but, if you’re lucky enough you can catch a glimpse of a map from a different angle, and end up with a breathtaking view. ( come on, tyria is kittening beautiful, just hang around timberline for a while and you will see. )

4th Crafting. crafting is nice, gets you loads of gold and experience, AND its a mode you can even choose your rewards!

5th Exploration itself is amazing in guild wars. pick a map, go on walking around, talk to npcs, sit down on some settlements to just listen to their dialogs, or i dont know just chill around. its something i do often in wayfarer foothills, you know? The place with the termal fountains, i love hanging around that place.

6th dynamic events, go around the world, do any event that pops on your radar, they’re nice, give you gold karma and experience, sometimes even loot, besides its so kittening fun, i love jumping into dynamic events, pushing the centaurs back in kessex, or defending some fortress in fireheart rise. getting the hylek territory back in sparkfly

7th world bosses, i bet theres a ton of people like a guildie of mine who drive entire trains of world bosses now, they’re fun, nice, and give a good reward ( but SB, that one can be solo’ed )

8th dungeons/fractals, try to beat a dungeon. ok, i know nowdays we mostly run a dungeon but, get a day to just beat it the way it was designed to be. its so kittening fun! A friend of mine was doing something of a sort some weeks ago, i was with him, and let me tell what: WE HAD A BLAST!

9th Iddle chatting: yes, its fun, even in LA. sometimes i do that because i just feel very tired.

10th this is something stupid but i consider it a way of playing the game, Gathering resources. I do that from time to time, it involves exploring areas and finding a sweet spot with the right kind of mob and staying there killing them, or just roaming looking for nodes. OR EVEN BETTER theres a site that gives you the positions of the current nodes!

11th this is for the hardcore players, people that really like to FIND fun. Its called Self Challenge.
its like when i decide that im going to hunt karkas naked, for exemple.
i really do this kind of stuff, i end up learning more about my skills, my traits and other deep things from my current build/profession or character. without reading guides or stuff, since i like creating my solutions without help from the scrath.

12th Do the personal story, its really nice. even has some charming people like Tibalt. ( never forget )

i dont know whats wrong with the playerbase myself. why they whine so much? frankly i do think the marioboss is challenging, but shes not hard. its just requires some practice and a little bit of thinking. you cant expect yourself to be successful on the first try, we face challenges since the very moment we are born, we fail, we all failed many times but as we keep on trying, one day we beat the challenge and we get to feel the glory.

honestly, even if there werent any rewards involved, i would still love these contents. like with darksouls you dont really get rewards from bosses, you just have to bleed, to sweat, to cry, to feel the pain, but once you beat that boss and you go like extremely overcome with happiness and a sense of achievement thats electrifying, that was my reward, and believe or not GW2 has plenty of it.

thats my drug, thats what keeps me going on, can even make the pains of IRL go away.

its wonderful.

in the end, i want to thank Anet again for making such awesome game and for releasing content for us without asking for a single peny. Quality content, each 2 weeks (could be a month, i wouldnt mind. ) Without a single cost? and a game that has so many options? i paid 50 bucks in this game, and sometimes i even feel guilty about it.

PS: bring the endless spinning glith back i know it was a bug but it was awesome. BEST.BUG.EVER

I can’t even agree more with this. I see what you mean as I haven’t even explored all of this myself yet (dungeons, PvP, jumping puzzles... not tried yet). Whining and being rude has no place on anywhere. Expecting ppl to do exactly like you do or know everything beforehand is non-sense.
I agree there are those that fails on purpose and spoil other’s fun, but yelling at others and whining and being rude just makes you look stupid and passes your own rage to everyone else, that also is frustrated by a fail.
Games are about having fun (with some frustrations at times, of course, but that makes it more exciting to try again [I can’t count how many times I came back after being killed just to finish off that d**n mob :P *glances at some bandits at Birsband*]) and rudeness has no place in it.
Are you frustrated by a fail? Well, it means something went wrong (either your part or not) and makes it more exciting to try again and gives more motivation to get it done.
But whining and being attacked with rudeness just spoil it and makes you want to hit Alt+F4 and let it be. I can’t even count how many times I have reported ppl for rude behavior just because it drives me nuts to see such sh**y behavior.
