Guild Wars 2

OP, I personally appreciate that the more recent patches have been on the thinner side. A lot of people have complained about having too many new things to do when they still have a lot of existing content to complete. It’s exhausting. I think this was clearly intended to give players a heavily requested breather. I took the time to catch up on jumping puzzles and dungeons.

I’m also not the only one playing this game so I’m not going to begrudge others their fun. SAB isn’t my cup of tea but I was happy to pass on it to play other content, and I’m happy it was brought back for those players who love it. The temporary content patches that I did enjoy may not have been THEIR cup of tea.

Also, festival, party, festive…all pretty much synonymous. I also don’t see why celebrations aren’t related to fantasy. The nature of the celebrations are certainly fantastical.

As for other comments, I don’t see why everything has to connect to one story. Wouldn’t feel like a very rich, immersing world. In fact, my biggest disappointment with the story is how so much HAS been tied together. I prefer a mixture of an overarching plot, sub plots and side plots, not everything tied together with one shiny bow. I’m not sure why anyone requesting more depth would want that either.

Why does Teq have to relate to Scarlet?

It already ties in to the existing story of the elder dragons. If Scarlet was running that show, too, then she’d really be over the top.

I prefer one 12 small updates over 6 months, than one big update over 6 months. What people forget when they say they want a big update is that it would take just as long to get the one big update as it would to add up to that total content. Then I can play the content the whole time.

I prefer an expansion….oh ya that isn’t going to happen.
Don’t worry there will be mindless chores to do this next update with a dungeon that will fall out of favor in a few weeks.

Well it replaces one of the current paths, so its not exactly going to go away…
But ya, I’d really rather have something else then the stuff we’re getting. Kinda boring to keep doing the click x things (even tooth/dragon thing finding was this way). New lands are what I’d prefer.

ill be honest, I want a new zone to explore and a big update.

Yep, “been there, done that” seems like the baseline PVE experience right now.

I simply can’t bring myself to run around a zone just for the act of doing so, something that ANet seems to want us to do. In part because i don’t feel like waypointing to and from (i got a serious aversion towards spending gold unless i have some goal in mind and don’t feel like wasting time completing it), nor cross starter zones i have seen a million times to get there.

GW1 was different, because getting to the zones were free. Also, each “town” had the basic facilities. This meant i could set up camp anywhere.

IDK how you could call the teq revamp underwhelming OP. It’s some of the best content in this game. I wish MORE of the fights had multiple tatics/phases required in them like the teq fight (I also love lupi because of this kinda stuff).

The go and click on X teeth etc. part was stupid and just kinda tacked on there to make it a living story kinda thing though (seriously stop doing this skilless kinda junk a-net). But who cares, the teq fight is awesome.

This time around we’re getting a new dung. You havn’t even seen it. Wait until you’ve done it.

I would call this underwhelming. Day #2 of the new Tequatl encounter on my realm:

I love the time on the minimap ;p 4 am…
Nice.

Lol-ed.

Just because a server can’t muster the numbers to even cap a single map doesn’t mean it’s bad content. I’m sure the 4am part had something to do with that though :P

That would be a wednesday as well.

It’s ridiculous how you’re all just dismissing the very true and sad facts Elbegast just posted by pulling cheap tricks.

Yes it’s on a wednesday, what other day would it be? If it’s the second day of the release it’s gonna be wednesday since all content updates are released on a tuesday.

And the fact it’s 4am on his clock means nothing. I play in the US servers yet I’m 4 hours ahead of the server time.

But either way, all of that is meaningless since I remember back with the Zephyrite Sanctum update how one time I got on at 6am my time which was either 2-3am server time and the sanctum was full of life.

Despite the late hour and despite being in the middle of the week there were people jumping around everywhere, doing the sanctum sprint and all that jazz.

That’s because the Zephyrite Sanctum was an actual update that added lots of things for players to do, enjoy and experience. While even though I appreciate the Tequatl change it’s undeniable how it barely added anything new to the game.

Well on my server at 4am on a weekday theres an overflow for teq, an overflow for wvw, sometimes LA overflow.

Whats your point some servers are very low pop, and dead at night. Other servers (alot) are bustling with players all hours.

This is before teq revamp… lol 810AM MONDAY MORNING -.-.
