Guild Wars 2

Let me explain this thread a bit, this is kind a rant thread but i should say first, i love this game, for me it is fresh and new to the mmo scene.

but, as every game it has some things that can make them either enjoyable or frustrating for some.

First i think i would like to address is the gain/cost of bills: until you hit 80 repair bill is affordable, teleporting its affordable as well, you dont even think its expensive or check inventory first, you just teleport even if you are 20 yards from wp.

but when you hit 80 things change drastically, even the nearest wp its at least 2 silver, 2 silver might not sound like its to much, but they add… and they add way to fast in 1 day of game just teleporting for some events or simply to gather matts in farms scattered in some map you could spend at least 60-1g, and lets not talk about repair bills

ive been 80 since first week of the game and im scared of upgrade my gear wich is mostly greens and yellows just because my messly greens and yellows when they are broken i need to spend up to 30+ silver.

wich in a dungeon you can die several, several, several times and sometimes its just a graveyard rush just to complete the dungeon, but in fact is it worth it? its something inside that shiny chest that worth the time consuming, frustrating and hard earned silver?

i mean, its ok you get some tokens wich you can trade for AWESOME and i mean AWESOME art, but for a 1h sword its at least 12+ runs, you get some silver wich isnt enough to repair my greens and yellows.

ok, you might say dungeons arent for me, they are for hardcore and good players and that i stink at gw2.

ok this might be true, so… dungeons are out, ok then i will go to orr because chain events can provide some good karma and silver, there we go again orr its filled with 200+ warriors with bows (nothing against them) or hardcore AoErs, what can i do?

i guess ill run and spam 1 in my sword and try to hit everything i can to get at least silver badge, (repeat ad nauseum).

ok, i will then enjoy the game i spend some time completing 100% world map, achieved it and i can say it was way way way to fun and i might do it with another toon, ok ill complete now my story line quest.

achieved it as well, as a reward everyone know what you get at the end, and hasnt been addressed yet, so i let it go, i think in some near future they will make it up for us who had it bugged.

dont get me wrong i love this game, but some times i have deeply mixed feelings.

i dont know if that im bad at this game but the amount of time you spend trying to acquire gold its way to high, and you spend it 300% quicker than you earn it (just like IRL).

so, now that the rant thread is over.

wich are my constructive critiscim:

-Dungeons can get some diffculty option, if im a casual player (wich i dont think i am) but i dont want to spend 1h+ in a dungeon why not make a easy route? instead of getting 30 tokens you earn just 2 or 1.

but for those who are casual and want to “enjoy” a dungeon it will make it really fun.

-Decrease bills in waypoints and repairing or upgrade the ways wich gold can be acquired, because with the new changes wich dungeons give decreased silver and the anti farm code gold doesnt come by itself.

-Some proffesion could use AoE skills in lower cooldowns because in huge DE they are sub-par of even trash tier against the ones who have AoE doesnt matter if nukes, or sustained but is hard to compete against them when you need to run into a mob and spam 1 and HOPE he doesnt get killed while you run towards him.

well, i think rant is over and i feel a lil better.

I agree, but they dont care – they already have our money. Any ideas what other games we can play? Im bored!

Saying they don’t care because they didn’t throw in a magical fix to your ‘problem’ the moment you say it is just silly.

You’re terribly silly. Very, very silly.

Comments like these have no constructive value. They care, or we’d likely not even have a web forum – there’s no direct profit to be made from it.

OP – I can certainly feel your pain. There are a few of us who are actively looking for ways to improve the experience after 80. You may have to dig through some of the argumentative b.s. to get to some of these posts, but I promise you, they are out there, and some of the suggestions are really good.

We can only hope that the good devs at ArenaNet have enough steam to be able to sift through the rubbage posts and are able to find some of the good constructive ones.

@McSneaky If you like PVP play Smite its great I enjoy pvp there far more than GW2 it has real structure, GW2 feels very random and unpredictable zergy.

totally agree with you, but some people just pollute the forum with that kind of replies , its easier to say they dont care they have our money than make an elaborated argument, some people might disagree with me, but its good to know there are some just like you who feel the same way than i do.

@Denial, don’t even get me started.

I’ve made a couple posts offering (what I felt where) logical suggestions on how to fix some of these post-80 issues; rather than players composing rational arguments for or against my suggestions, I was instead assaulted with a barrage of these “don’t like it, go back to wow” rubbish.

I think a valid solution (if you’re into it) is rolling other professions. I’ve been playing alot since day 1 of headstart and my highest level character is 65. I have 7 other characters because I want to see how they play and which one I like the most. I’ve found that I like all of them!

I’ve noticed that going through zones a second time also reveals DE’s that I didn’t experience the first time and hidden areas that I missed that aren’t part of the map completion reward.

I’m also restricting crafting to one discipline per character…..eight current characters, 8 crafting disciplines available, one for each, never repeated. This keeps me from burning out on crafting on any single character.

I’m far from bored because I’m in no rush to get to 80, and I know that Anet will be adding new content.

Hit 80 the first week? No wonder your bored, play any game too much and that will happen. If someone plays that much anet could never put out content fast enough. People would just burn through it and say i’m bored, lmao. Sorry i just think its funny that some are already bored after a week or month of playing a newly released game.
Might as well say, game was fun till the first time i logged on.

erm, i dont want to be mean but you need some reading comprehesion, i never said i was bored i was just addressing some things that i think could be fixed for a better enjoyment of the game.

plz next time when you reply to a thread dont extract 1 sentence of the post and work around it.

@Holotype, totally true atm im trying to lvl up my ele lvl 7 =3

He didn’t bother to read you entire post. He was getting too eager to flame you.

@Mickey Sad, but true.. sigh.

‘because my messly greens and yellows when they are broken i need to spend up to 30+ silver.’

This is a huge exaggeration i pay like 11-15 silver when all my gear breaks and im wearing full exotics

In my 15 years of having internet, this is the worst thread I’ve ever read.

well at least would you elaborate why you think is the worst post you have seen in your entire internet career? or bashing is better?
