Guild Wars 2

I think Anet should not increase anymore the lvl cap and stop in ascended gear. In gw1 you could find a huge amount of things to do and progress after you hit the lvl cap and have maximum gear.

That can permit the developers to have more time to just fix bugs and add more endgame content.

That was for me a great point in gw 1 that counterparts the wow model. What do you think?

All that is a given there, junior…

That’s what expansions and events are for…

Really?
They specifically stated that ascend may not be the last tier. (that means more tiers)
Infusions will be introduced often (rare-exotic) and increase in stats as per Lindseys posts.
This is only the start.

I would expect level cap for maybe the expansion but who knows now.

I agree fix what we have now and hold the other stuff. But the dedicated preferred player will complain that there is nothing to do and will leave. That is the whole reason this was instituted in the first place.

I agree that they shouldn’t raise the level cap, even more so now that they’ve introduced Ascended gear.

As well as this, they shouldn’t add more skills or traits until the current ones are balanced.

I’d be fine with the level cap raising by 5 like…once a year.

Why raise the level cap? I never understood the point of levels reaching into the hundreds. Guild Wars 1 had a level cap of 20, and the rest of the mobs were a static level once your reached ya max leveled areas, not that it was much of an issue, boss mobs were naturally higher then trash. The game was skill based like GW2 is. Everything is scaled anyway so does it really make any difference?

As for gear treadmill, thats kinda disappointing. Alot of players had faith in the word of the dev team, but going back on this big one is just not sitting well with anyone.

That can permit the developers to have more time to just fix bugs and add more endgame content.

In some respects comments like this is what instigated the incarnation of the ascended gear. ENDGAME, the most subjective and over used term in gaming.

By endgame i meant things you can do beyond reaching lvl cap.
That is for example the obsidian armor, the legendaries or raising a faction/race reputation. It doesn’t have to be superior in stats than others, just appearance.

Don’t need level cap increased, that’s why you have alts.

My last day playing will likely be the day they add a new level cap, assuming they haven’t added a new tier of gear before then.

That said, if the information in this OP is true then it is going to happen, and there isn’t much we can do about it. So, just enjoy the game for now and if the level increase bothers you too much, move on to greener pastures.
