Guild Wars 2

Hi! It’s just something I also posted on reddit and I invested my time and energy in it. I hope the feedback is appreciated. So here it is:

I think the endgame is kinda lacking. WvWvW doesn’t offer much right now. I mean, there is no reason to do any WvWvW. No “winner-list”, no gear (badges system is frustrating as hell), no ranks to grind (like in daoc), it just has no sense of progression or accomplishment.
An example was that I attacked supply lines with my friends (we were 5) for more than 3 hours. We did an amazing job; we ganked reinforments, killed 234234 (yes) dolyaks, took 25 camps or more and even managed to kill a raid of 12 people (Thief/Guardian AE OP). What did we get? Like 5000 Karma, 30 Badges and 70 silver. We got ZERO fame, nobody knows our name and zero progression in something. Yes, we had a lot of fun in the beginning but the capping got boring quickly. I wish there would be a possibility to take keeps and towers for a small, skilled and organized group (like a ladder maybe? Defenders could pukitten over easily and it would easily be destroyed. Or how about backpacks? A person could wear one and he could carry 50 supplies, instead of 10. The person can’t attack while wearing it and putting the backpack down would require a 5 second cast). Atm it’s “zerg ftw”.
Dungeons at 80: I’m not sure why they are so frustrating to play, I can’t really point the finger on it. Though I think it’s the cheesiness of difficulty. I enjoyed Dark Souls a lot because I was always in command of my death. But in TA there were those freaking poison flowers, which applied poison on me while still invisible. Spawn → Poison → Im dead.
Also there were some Hammer-mobs, which jumped on me, stunned me and killed me in one hit. Usually I managed to dodge the first AE stun but after the fight has begun, the AE stun was instant and therefore undodgeable for me. It’s just frustrating. And yes, I am wearing some toughness/vit-gear. Nearly all my armor has Vit/toughness on it and im wearing Knight/Valkyre-trinkets.
I think a lot of the attacks of enemies have to be changed to clearly show when they will land: A mob should raise the weapon in a clear way and in a fluent animation (Not stop midair to make a player pre-dodge. But rather a clear and fluid animation like in Dark Souls). AE attacks must have to have a clear and bright ring on the ground and it should be clearly be visible when it will hit. Also BS like invisible poison flowers have to go.
Event-farming: Why only Orr at 80? This is easy to fix. Let all events award the same after lvl 30 and all drops are scaled to your level. I don’t really know why this isn’t already like that. Orr gets boring quickly. Stupid risen. Also if I play with a friend, I get zero rewards. Why is it like this? Annoying.
sPvP: Needs an elo system and a second elo-system for tournaments and your team.

Those are the main problem I have currently with the game.

This game hasn’t had 1 expansion yet -> the game isn’t dead or have nothing to offer in future. and will get better as time progresses

frostgorge is 70-80.

I never said something like “it’s dead”. I’m very happy and still playing hours every day. However, i’m not playing a lot of WvWvW, which was the main reason for getting GW2 for me.

I like some of your suggestions..
though, I have yet to play in any dungeon aside from AC.. lol, not for lack of trying ~ but I’ve got two level 80 characters and no one ever wants to do dungeons.. or events for that matter.

IE: If there’s no chest at then end, we should we care?

Anywho, I’ve made a few suggestion topics.. if you’re interested.

“We got ZERO fame, nobody knows our name and zero progression in something.”

Makes me laugh…why don’t you ask some veterans how they did after world war 2 was over?

You said you did an amazing job..isn’t that enough reward in its own? Why do people want to be rewarded for everything they do?

I am not picking on you, its just something that comes back all the time. People demanding harder fights and therefor bigger loot. Easier fights but still a lot of loot…

I love to play this game for the fun of it, I dont like to follow the zerg but head out with some friends and do what you did. We have fun and thats all I can ask for.
The game is about the journey not about the goal.

Nice job on killing 234234 dolyaks btw. You’ll be hearing from WWF soon! :p
