Guild Wars 2

I’m done with this, all were getting is ~1 hour of content, a huge achievement grind, all wrapped up in crappy and temporary story. You’ve got a bunch of great lore in the game, USE IT.
WTB expansion pack.

give me all your items/gold then leave game

I second this

Expansion please

If you want an expansion you’ve got to persuade everyone in the game to stop buying gems, so micro-transaction won’t be enough to allow Anet to maintain things live this, forcing them to develop a new expansion that you have to pay.

It’s the quality of the Living Stories that’s the problem, not the fact that there’s no expansion. What makes you think an expansion won’t have the same low quality story that the Living Story does?

An expansion will at least give me an entire new region to explore even if the story is complete crap. I wish they’d add a new zone in already.

Everyone, remember what they said a long time ago: content you would normally expect from an expansion is being worked on by one team, and to keep us entertained until then, another team works on the living world, yet another team works on the holiday celebrations, another team works on cash shop items, and a final team works on bug fixes (I’m probably missing a few teams but you get the idea).

Yes on gamescom 2013 they also told me that they’ll keep doing the living story at least until 2014 and then will (try) to release a expansion as fast as possible.

Considering the how the Personal Story went and how the LS is doing this may not be far from the truth but I’d still prefer an expansion over what we have now. I’m thinking along the lines of there is only one way to go but up, but then maybe i’m too optimistic.

Agree.

So much great lore and you have an idiot pen paper thin stories with no depth and a character like Scarlet -so paper thin and soul-less.

No more cheap living story crap please Im getting bored and starting to stray from the game.

I agree that the overall concern of the living story that it feels like unfinished, unpolished rushed content.

Scarlet too is like a carbon copy of Helena Bonham Carter and her roles the last 10 years.

My biggest grief is how LS just gets less content each time and nerfs to the rewards. The instances pay out what a single champ does in Frostforge Gorge, same with the kittenty Tri-color chest. The mobs in the labyrinth doesn’t scale and are worthless to farm for loot, even with 100’s of MF. And to clowns that say LS isn’t about the shinies, how come every LS with zerg-farm lately been abandoned as soon as the achievements are done. Players simply want rewards for the time they put in or they will skip it. Personally, I can’t even get the amount of Pristine Toxic Spore Samples I want for the recipes, because the train for Toxic events in KH stopped after a few days.

The living story content is and always has been poor unfortunately. Bold and ambitious idea, but its just bad. A few bits of story and lore disjointed from anything else(aside from the last two or three updates), a huge achievement grind that drives content, achievement grind that isn’t even fun.

I will pay 60 dollars for an expansion of quality. Zones, skills, races, classes, dungeons, new endgame systems, additions to WvW, more personal story, open world content..I will pay 60 big ones man. I will not spend a dime in the gem store for the stuff that is being released.

I would much rather have a LS patch every 4 weeks instead of every 2 if the content lasted longer. In 2 hours of game play yesterday, without guides, I am 8/10 for the meta. I need 3 more set of keys and kill the last guy a few more times.

I think the design of the tower is great, has some good challenges, but just not enough content.
