Hmm, well yeah, guess ill take a break, and come back later when theyve released some more, hope they will soon though
I know the fanbois will get all mad at my post and trust me I have nothing against the game. I do love the fact that if I get the itch again to play I can without paying.
But the game for me I already got bored of. To me the leveling system was fun at first but now it has gotten sooo repetitive it isn’t even fun. I know leveling is always repetitive, but this takes the cake. You go to explore a new zone, do the heart quest, find the teleports and scenic thing, then just farm events. Having to go to new starter zones to help leveling I think is lame. Sure you see new content, fine, but I shouldn’t have to. Oh right I don’t, I can just keep farming the same events non stop.
Crafting is my thing. I know you get xp for it and while exploring I would gather etc. and craft, but I shouldn’t have to rely on crafting also to level. I never had issues with the normal questing systems of WoW, Rift, ToR, LotR, EQ, etc.
Anyways I think the game is losing its appeal to people. Anyone who thinks the population of people logging in hasn’t dropped a lot is blind. The hype is gone and usually after a month of any mmo it does. There hasn’t been a mmo that the subs for example, keep growing each month since WoW. ToR is the only other mmo that has even come close to 2 mil subs at one point. Granted they dropped way off now but now a days mmo’s just haven’t competed with WoW. I don’t know if one ever will. Not even Blizzards new mmo will I think. WoW took stuff from other mmo’s that most never played or heard of but actually made it 1000000 x’s better which is why now everyone tries to mock WoW.
Nice post mate. Its true, it seems like no other MMO can beat WoW, some people may think that “their” MMO has beaten WoW, but thats not true at all. I hoped GW2 would, i also really thought it would, by all the trailers, gameplay, and screenshots, i saw before release, i really thought that, THIS IS IT, this will be the end of WoW.
But i guess thats not gonna happen.
Though i hope someone will soon create a modern day MMO, kinda like “The Secret World” Just better/more scary/good graphics. That would be AWESOME!
bored? cool. try something else till the next xpac/content patch hits. what else do you want us to say?
GW2 is an alternative to the WoW’s of the genre, and many of us are loving it and staying.
Tbh dude, i just wanted to know how many others felt the same way. But good for you that your still enjoying the game

People will keep bashing WoW and I will promise you most of the people played WoW for more than a year too. WoW was a great game. They hit 13 mil subs which no mmo will ever do again. Even those who left the game still kept accounts active. Yes a lot of people had multiple subs, but hey it is still a sub nevertheless.
Basically the next best mmo will need to do what WoW did. Take things/ideas from others games but make them 100000000 x’s better. What you need is a huge lore/story. For how many copies of Warcraft 1-3 sold, people knew the lore which helped sell WoW. I really think Blizzard should have taken Diablo and made it World of Diablo and make it scary and hellish. Make it like Vanilla WoW but obviously in the Diablo world. How awesome would it be to walk through Tristam like Stormwind? Or even a World of Starcraft where it can have ground and air pvp and 3 factions. There is a lot of lore there too.
But yeah games tried like The Secret World but just seems like they get old fast.

You are right. It requires a ton of lore/story for a game to have that “Epic” feel to it. And on top of that it needs to have stellar game design and activities that are engrossing over a long period of time, as well as rock-solid coding mechanics. In addition, it must please both the casual and powergamer. Not an easy feat.
Titan is coming.

The World of Diablo is a sick idea! you should write it to Blizzard haha! It would be amazing, if they made it scary as hell, and not like the childish Mist of pandaria :oooo

I’m a little worried about Titan though. A FPS MMO? TSW was kind of like that and imo got old fast too. But Blizzard has even been quoting saying it will be a very casual mmo. So I am not expecting much and kind of disappointed. But I haven’t seen or played it so we’ll see.

I wish but they already said long ago before D3 that they wouldn’t be making a World of Diablo or Star Craft. Not to say they may change their mind but they are already working on Titan. So anything else would be 10 years out.
Ugabuga,
You really like to call other people haters, fanboys and god knows what..
Has it ever occured to you, that their opinion may be more accurate than your own? Or are you way too narrowminded for that?
You say in your original post the following things, and i quote:
“But dungeons just isnt that fun.”
“Exploring areas is alright, until youve done done it for a while, then its kinda lame aswell.”
“PvP is cool, but doing the same gamemode over and over again is just boring.”
“There isnt really anything to achieve in this game”
“ArenaNet doesnt seem to give any news or updates, on what they are working on”
“It may be because its F2P, that, thats their excuse. But im telling you guys, this game will soon be losing players, alot of players”In the end, after this long rant, you ask “what do you guys think?”
Don’t be childish and try to make an argue that you are asking for peoples opinion when 90% of your post is in non-constructive rant.
If i say a person is a dumb moron, has no life, is a pathetic jerk, doesnt have a job, is a completekitten has cancer, has no parents, has no family, has no love etc. and then end with “what do you guys think?” – That equals as much constructive post as your original post.
You don’t like the game, sure, by all means that is fine. But thinking the game will lose alot of players, based on you not liking it is just asking for attention and drama.
There are many parts that could be better with this game yes, but there are parts that are great too – A real shame you didn’t include as much as one, which again proves how naive and narrowminded your post is.
Excuse me mate, but really? What is your problem now? No i dont like to call out people “fanboys” or “haters”…?
Your comment is appreciated, and ill tell you why i only talked about the bad stuff.
I made this thread to point out what i think is negative about the game, why i think its become boring, now dont get me wrong, yes there is ALOT of really cool/good stuff about the game, but i didnt make a thread to talk about the good stuff, so why should i have it written in my post?
And what a really really stupid example you made? Are you telling me that people are equal to games? That a game is worth just as much as a human?
Im telling what i dont like about the game, so MAYBE arenanet, would see and maybe change some stuff, AND i can already see that they did, maybe/maybe not because of my post, but they now made dungeons, so you only get tokens after killing last boss in a dungeon, so you cannot GRIND them! Which is great! a good step foward for the game. (btw that was positive, thats what you want right
? )
And why am i being childish? you dont think writing “Maybe you might want to get out of your mom’s basement and go for a walk, ride a bike, ask a girl out. More to life then video games.” is being childish or what?
I wrote my opinion on the game, i gave Arena-Net ideas to fix the game, i hope they listen, so i dont see what your problem is…?
(edited by UgaBuga.6457)
and anet developpers are in over their head that project was too big. programing is not tight yet (1 problem solved, 2 new problems arise) and bots, and the design team need to understand that a lot of their fan base are no lifers.
but i kind of believe in them.
im quite sure that gw2 will have an epic journey.
but pushing it too fast too soon by playing excessively is breaking it a bit.
I rag the entire game? you think that everybody who enjoys the game is a fanboy of it?…
Cant belive i have to explain this…
By fanboy i mean, people who cant stand people who talks bad about the thing they are a “fan” of… And im not trying to cause arguments my boy, you are… So listen here little boy, why dont you take a hike away from this thread? Instead of trying to cause a flame war And this is the “Discussion Section” last time i checked? or is it not? You tell me
