Well i dont know if anyone interested or if the developers will ever read this but i guess i wanted to express myself and my feelings about what one of my favourite games, probably i should have said my favourite franchise of mmos, but now i dunno what to think or to do, probably i should say i feel sadness and despair
i understand developers want to change the world constantly with adding new content and stuff but for me and i hope there many who feel the same is sad and stressing to know i can miss the content forever because i dont play all days all weeks, is really disapointing to fear you can lose something forever just because you needed: to travel, to go to the army service,to get a new job,to dedicate time to study or any activity from real life even if you wanted to check a new game or activity, getting married,found a new couple and enyoy time with her/him, i dont know about other players but for me playing is a relaxing activity not something i should get stress or grieving feelings from.
YES i agree in part being a completionist as i am is my fault maybe and please DONT come with your traditional answer “you are not forced to do it” because well it dont work here WHY? well because there is big difference between something i decided not to do or something im forced to do in time or suffer the reminder (achievements tabs incomplete, mini pet grey slot in bank forever) the rest of my gaming experience.
When this “temporary content” was out i was like whoaa!!! a nice idea yeah very fun, but then it became a hush,stressing not fun race against time, AND NO i havent missed a single one event and i have achieved everything till now but IM tired and sad because it became a really sick disease to try achive everything in time against my health, and even against my fun wish, im stuck on liandri right now but i repeat im tired and anoyed.
Why? well because i know next week the stress and not fun cycle will begin till the day i will not be able to get in time for new event or just not able to get all the achivements or special gifts in time and get a grey slot in my tabs reminding me forever my game is incomplete and have no chances to ever be completed, i have missed skins already and i digested the feeling, now i fear i maybe will miss an achievement and a mini forever, but the real point of this is: IM TIRED and disapointed.
I upgraded my pc to play this,i spent many gems at game to get bank tabs, slots etc, i dont regret it but i think the acumulative feeling of loss in the future (just because life maybe stop me from getting online or whatever)will take its mark so i have decided to keep triying liandri but whatever result is getting tiring,stressing and not fun, will i lose next event? will i get everything on time? i dont like that feeling on me.
So i think and decided to express myself and share my feelings about this concern to the communityand i hope deveopers allow us players to enyoy all this content and get those achievements again at our own rhytm without pressure, maybe developers recapacitate and find a way to let players feel les left behind for not being here when event happens I know many of you will laugh at me, or just dont care o even say is correct to leave players behind and let just a selected lucky few get stuff and enyoy the content and story, well is up to you and your elitist selfish feelings but it dont feel good with me (AND i have all exclusive stuff that you can get still I WOULD love to know everyone can get it anytime).
Sadly i think online gaming is full of that “i wanna feel better than you because i have something you can never get”.
I tought gw2 wanted to change gaming in someway but after all fall in the same old bad stuff: elitism,segregation of some and nutrition for those who wanna make other feel less than them for not having something.
Everything would be awesome if:
—All stuff would be permanent achievable just by effort not by luck and time constraints, because after all those who dont want to do it will not do it anyway but those of us who want to do it will have the chance to get it with effort without time pressure
—Just make the events cycling like the rest of ur game instead of the incosistency that living story and the rest of game are, one is temporary and the rest is there repeating forever.
—Just add more content for the players who complaint about nothing new so they have new things to do no matter if its same event as before since they have new things to achieve, but let new players and slower players to play everything without time stress and if they really effort to catch up with the other players making a more solid less fragmented community
