Guild Wars 2

So right now im about 2 weeks away from completing unlocking everything. It will be about June 18th or 19th. Looking back to feb, when these things first came out, I was thinking wow this will take forever with the build times and the merits needed. Well I was right, but it was fun. It was fun to look forward to the next week or next few weeks when we unlock something new, that is also rewarding. Even the massive, rich guilds took months to unlock everything in Guild Missions.

This type of content is great and I think satisfies the “raid” aspect of GW2, to an extent. Certainly guild challenges like the Ogres in Fields of Ruin or the Challenge in Blazeridge Steppes, where 30 people are participating, reminds me of raid like activity. Hopefully in the coming months, perhaps more like a year, we will EVENTUALLY see more content on the same level of progression and difficulty or higher(hopefully) than guild missions. However it should be solo type content. Not everyone likes partying up with a guild. Raids still sound like a good idea, I know there is a thread on that, but GW2 is very innovative and I think they could do something different that satisfies the same flavor palate.

I really like guild missions and the challenge that comes with it, I only find it very difficult to find ongoing ones… I’m playing late at night so most guilds won’t play those

I like the guild missions but like events, the scaling could be better.

Bounty mission targets take under 2 minutes to kill if you bring 6 people but if you have 30+ you’re going to be pushing the timer. We did the Blazeridge challenge in 57 seconds with 6 people, it takes us 6 minutes with the full guild.
