Guild Wars 2

That’s right. Best update ever since the game was released. and there was no need to add any tier gear, or gear grind.

THIS is what I’m looking for in a good, creative, fun game. THIS will keep me logging in and playing…not gear grind. THIS kind of thing will entice me to keep buying GW2 related things…because it’s different, creative, intelligent, and fun. It’s not the same old same old with MMO’s.

Thank you ArenaNet for finally listening to many of us. I hope any further Ascended/tear gear is tabled in favor of more great content like this. Let us keep our Backpieces and accessories…but there is no need to add weapons or armor.

Keep this kind of thing going!

The game can have content with and without gear attached. They aren’t as mutually exclusive as forum goers would have you believe.

Nice point OP. Fun content, skins instead of power… did I mention fun?

Skins are more fun. Maybe if they keep the Superamazing Adventure Box Medium armor wearers will get a Link or Sheik skin.

I’m very happy doing new things in my same gear roll on more content

anet did say that ascended was always part of the plan pre-release, though who knows. I don’t mind them finishing the ascended thing up, as long as they NEVER add another tier. I’ll just pretend that ascended was there since launch and it’s alright :p

+1 OP
Josh Foreman and his team are talent that should be LOCKED IN to ANet and NCSoft.

Have him help design final boss fights in dungeons. Give him a raise.

AND DO NOT LET HIM OR HIS TEAM GO TO COMPETITORS.

That’s actually a pretty cool idea…my Asura dressed as Link o.O

I agree that these are the patches I look foward too.

I never really understood the fixation with higher tier gear and such. In GW1 I didn’t shell out 200 or so platinum for Vabbian armor because it was more powerful than what I had, I did it because it looked absolutely awesome. Effectiveness should be cheap vanity should be expensive.

AMEN BROTHER!!! +1 completely agree.

This actually got me thinking,

If they added exclusive themed skins to, say, “Keg Brawl”, will more people actually do it? Whether or not they upgrade/change the gameplay in some way.

Just reminded me also of that Inn-League Keg or whichever in LoTRO which will transport you to some random weird location when used (like, say, in the middle of a pig pen, or at the very top of a stone tower). Or the Drunk Mount (poor horse lol).

Well-expressed, with your consent I’ll be using this paraphrase to explain the concept to people.

Also it should be noted that this is exactly how the game works right now (with high-level Fractals being the sole exception).

Go right ahead
That is really what I always liked about Guild Wars 1, with very little exception there was nothing in the game that required you to chase a carrot on a stick, any heavy grinding and high end reward chasing was of your own volition for your own satisfaction not for attaining statistical superiority. I’m happy that Guild Wars 2 is mostly sticking to the same ideals on this.

Ye, but Halloween, and Wintersday was great too
Imo SAB isnt frist cool thing added to the game.
