2 years from now… I hope I will have found something better to do with my time.

But if I don’t then 2 years from now… I guess I’d like to see more dungeons, perhaps permanent SAB, new races and new fashion, and the extinction of the Sylvari race.

I’ll be happy with dead sylvari and asura

I approve of your disapproval.

I’m NA :-( I know of some exploration paths that still get you to Farnaz and eventually Corrupted Lights, but haven’t gotten around to trying them yet. I need to get back in there and see how far I can get again :-)

And I totally understand the frustrating jumps. The old way out of the lobby with the coral (after they put in the first wall…) took me about an hour the first time I did it, but after a few runs I had it down to about 3 minutes. Just gotta learn where the invisible bumps are.

I think my favorite was the one after Belka. Man, you could see everything from on top of that one. I wonder if you can still get there from p3…

It’s like a more challenging SAB with random boss fights thrown into the mix

I’m going to add you ingame. I feel like I’d be able to make you pretty happy with some of the stuff that I know.

1,386 hours, 129 days (lol, n00b), DM completed 69 times. Not leaving until I have two things on the table: get my skills up to a point where I won’t even have to apply for guilds like rT and DnT and as long as I have my adowable friends on here (you deSade, you).

Must admit that most of the posts in here make me sad though, so many great players already feel burned out on the game.

DM completed 69 times

It’s official: I don’t play nearly enough dungeons . I checked my main account this morning before work, and I’ve only completed Hobby Dungeon Explorer 22 times (plus maybe 5 times on the second account).

Currently, I’m having a blast learning to meta-run dungeons, and see a lot of areas for improvement in my abilities. That’s basically what keeps me interested, finding new ways to play a game and learning to deal with new builds and new challenges. Just a few days ago, I participated in taking Lupi down quickly and (mostly) painlessly for the first time, after always ranging him 10+ minutes with guild groups before. It felt great (except for the point where I missed the right moment for feedback and got downed instantly ).

There’s so much yet to see and do for me in this game. And there are friends around that keep me playing, and many more people to get to know each day. Or maybe I’m just lucky I don’t have much time to play, so I won’t burn out quickly .

I ask my self why I keep playing almost everyday.

I really love the combat in this game. I really like the dungeons we have, i wish could get more of them; I would be happy if we could just get one new dungeon of arah quality per year.

Idk maybe i should like go outside and do rl things… prolly not

You play because I amuse you

My first Arah run with my mesmer
Bra: Can I count on you to get the feedback?
Me: You can but don’t count on me living long past that cause I am going to see if I can use the Warden to reflect the second one

Guess how that turned out

2 years from now… I hope I will have found something better to do with my time.

But if I don’t then 2 years from now… I guess I’d like to see more dungeons, perhaps permanent SAB, new races and new fashion, and the extinction of the Sylvari race.

Lilith you take that back! My sylvari are among my favorite characters to look at

While there are a lot of things I wish they would change, the truth is I just still enjoy playing just about every aspect of the game, just some more than others. I can’t be a hardcore gamer anymore so the couple hours a night I might get to play stops me from burning out even if I would. I’ve been playing since headstart and I STILL will watch an occasional cut scene. I still giggle when Troffa says KABOOM. I love the organized chaos that is GW2 combat without the Holy Trinity. I love the fact that I am not going to fail encounters unless I am built exactly so, letting me play around with a variety of weapons, skills, and traits for fun, even if X setup does it 5 seconds faster than Y. I go in waves where I might not touch a dungeon for two weeks then it’ll be all I do for a few weeks.

It also helps that when we do guild runs and its not the Arah crew we never know what we’re going to get. It could be mindlessly easy or I may have to help hold the group together when the newer ones start dropping like flies.

At the end of the day most of it is the social end of it. Dave, remember the Arah run with Acid where we just couldn’t seem to get our kitten together and we had to have spent an hour wiping, just stupid mistake after stupid mistake? Had to be one of the best nights ever, we just couldn’t stop laughing. Poor Ben thought he had the A Team that night. Its the stuff like that that keeps me playing.

A few friends that still play the game

Since early 2014, I’ve hardly played GW2 because I wanted. Most of times I logged in was because someone asked me to join a dungeon run

Which goes back to the point: if it wasn’t for dungeons, I’d have uninstalled the game long ago; and there’s no love for dungeons in this game :/

I am shocked by the playtimes and time invested (wtf: 10+ hours PER DAY since launch of the game? what the kitten you doing in you life?).

I felt burned out when i achieved dungeon master about 1.5 years ago. The game lacks content. You can tell about WoW what you want, but at least they add dungeons and raids every couple of months. I think I go back to WoW a bit and hope Anet adds something substantial to this game. Otherweise there are still a lot of good games out there to play.

Let me type up my tale of woe for you while I procrastinate on getting my assignment that is due in 10 hrs done.

I recently got back into guild wars 2 about 3 weeks ago. I heard about the changes in April and wanted to see what exactly had happened. This was the first time logging on for me since the Christmas event. Another factor for me getting back into the game was the fact that I had played Wildstar for a bit before that as well, and could not stop thinking how bad the combat system sucked compared to this game. So not worth the money for that game. So I came back, am levelling up 2 new alts (a thief and an ele) while running dungeons and trying to improve my gameplay. I adopted the meta (I used to be a PHIW casual) because I realised that the meta is a meta for a reason, and that the meta builds were better than what i was previously running. So now I just stick around in game trying to improve myself and level alts while being guildless and friendless since all my old friends stopped playing, same with my guildies.

Now no more procrastinating for me.

Here’s my tale I guess.

I like pineapple pizza and chocolate. Sometimes I like grilled chicken burgers and those salad things from olive garden with the breadsticks.

The dungeons are boring to me now, but playing with friends makes them bearable.
My Aussie internet connection is potato so no more spvp till I go back to Canada.
I hate WvW with a passion.
Open world is in the gross/yuck pile.

I think about too many things at once. I have a migraine everyday, sometimes they last for many days at a time without a break.
I play this game to kill the thoughts and distract from the migraines even when it can make them more violent.
This game is unhealthy for me. But I am unhealthy for me.
So it works out.

TL:DR.

  • This game is a distraction.
  • I like olive garden breadsticks.

At least I don’t like pineapple pizza.
If you dared asking for something like that here, you’d be arrested.
Other than that…
Sometimes I feel like I have many brothers and sisters here on this forum.
Sadly, because – even if it makes me feel less lonely, I wouldn’t wish anyone to have something in common with me; it surely is one of the many bad things.

- call the hospital;
- call the police.
… Nahhh, I won’t do that. Got a crush on that woman making those op pizzas for years now.

Things that imo kill a pizza: ham, green peppers, chicken, barely cooked onions, sausage, ground beef, canned mushrooms.

Just use the traditional fresh ingredients that go so well with bread, eh? That with basil OR origano.
Keep it simple, with few things, mozzarella and/or tomato sauce always to give a delicate and watery base to whatever you want to use – then pick ingredients that fit well with each other and respect the glorious tradition behind the preparation.
Don’t dishonour it by smashing random things in a mixer and slapping them on the dough. Be gentle and respectful as if it were your bride.

I like pineapples on my pizza Hawaiian is a big thing in Australia too. I just order a Hawaiian without ham because I don’t like ham. Or better yet I make my own, because pizza from the main pizza chains in Australia is disgusting.

Now imagine a pizza crust drenched in oil that tastes like it’s come from the greasy head of a teenager who hasn’t showered in weeks. A cheese topping that has the consistency of rubber and tastes like plastic. ‘Beef’ (although I think they just call it ‘meat’ because god knows what’s in it) that tastes like half defrosted cardboard and crumbles into pieces in your mouth like that one sandwich you left in your bag back in high school for over a month. Ham is usually placed in small rectangular chunks, it’s slimy and tastes as if it’s been fished out of a rotting dumpster. Pepperonis come as a couple of dry and hardened disks that are basically stale. You know when you forget to brush your teeth and that bad plaquey taste/smell settles in your mouth? That’s what eating that pepperoni does to you. Vegetables are soggy and discoloured, as if they have been soaked in some sort of preservative preparation for a couple days beforehand. The sauce? It’s oily as well and you’re lucky if you don’t find any hair in it.

I could go on forever about the sorry excuse for pizza in this country.

I have to agree. When I was in Australia the only food I found acceptable was the Japanese and Vietnamese I ate literally everyday for 3 months. The pizza was pretty awful. But sometimes it was better than the ramen.

HOWEVER… I literally have never had a better pink lady apple than i did in australia. And I’m a total apple snob.
