Guild Wars 2

Ok i have 3 lvl 80,s , 100 % map completion , 5 × 400 crafting and nearly 3k achievement points , but it feels like i have done nothing , i dont know why this is . Does anyone else feel the same way ?

Need more cool titles n rewards at least , and being able to see you’re own achievement in game might help

I also play w v w v w and i get the same feeling there too , you cap a tower they cap it back instantly , lack of rewards too

I like the game and want it too succeed

What sort of things would make you feel like you achieved something? You say it feels like you’ve “done nothing” but you clearly listed a lot of things you’ve done. Played a lot of hours, amassed gear & gold I’m sure, crafting skills…do you find the game too easy? That your work didn’t require enough effort? Do you just want titles displayed on your character so everyone else knows what you’ve done? If that’s the case, you won’t have accomplished anything more, just others know how much time you put into the game. What kinds of rewards do you want? You have cool looking gear from conquering dungeons? You have a legendary (or 2) yet? People will see them and know you accomplished something worthy. Your 3000+ achivement points scream “achievements” but it seems like you want others to know of & praise you for what you’ve done more than being proud of yourself for what you’ve done.

I wouldn’t say easy , more time consuming , i have dungeon sets n weapons also

What would then make you feel like you’ve achieved something? I’m new to GW2 and have not done half of what you say you have done, yet I feel accomplished at level 41. State what would make you feel accomplished after a 2 hour session, and maybe the community here and guide you in the right direction.

If you want to achieve something in life a good way to start is to stop playing video games so much.

If you want to achieve something in game save up gold and get the commander title.

Time for some tough love.

This is a video game, nothing you do here or in any other video game means anything. They are just entertainment. If you had fun and forgot your troubles for a while, then you did it right.

If you looked at it as a task to be completed in the most efficient way possible, then you did it wrong.

You will never get that feeling of achievement you are looking for from a video game. If you think that you did, then it was an illusion and you were tricked.

completely agree. I was shocked to find that even when I did the kill the critters thing (indiscriminant killer) that I didn’t even receive a title for that. I’ve crafted like crazy and explored like crazy. I just don’t see the rewards. Weird.

I love this game too and I want it to succeed but they’ve gotta know they have left some things out simple things that normally keep people coming back for hours. Other games did this limited content thing and limited rewards for time spent thing and they lost a huge chunk of players all at once. I believe we’re starting to see that in this game on many a server. Since this game doesn’t rely on subs I don’t think it will cause too much trouble but imagine if no one plays for months which means no one is spending in the store for months. I hope this doesn’t cause a downward spiral and I hope they react in kind to fix these problems.

Replace “life” with “video game” and the same would be true.

yep same boat
I posted some suggestions here

Well easy things tend to not have a feeling of achievement. Look at the rage when they did add in hard to get items and in that rage is self defeating for a feeling of achievement. I take my time with things i do not rush to the end of my games so i always feel like i done something when i finish something new.

Umm if I am wrong I’m sorry but this looks like a word for word repost from awhile ago. What gave it away was the way he typed WvW i would go look for it but I’m to lazy

From the sounds of it a little note on your achievement tab that you’re a “SUPER ROCKSTAR” would do the trick. Then you’d know you’d achieved something because the game told you you were a Super Rockstar.

Things I feel good about:

- WvWing with friends

- Cornering a TP niche and making as much gold as I want

You should play Supply Defense in WvW it’s friggin fun

“I feel like I achieve nothing.”

Apparently you’ve never worked a 9-5 job.

I don’t know if you a dungeon runner or not OP, but personally i feel like this game is lacking from really hardcore bosses or some form of raids. Something that requires a large team and coordination.

Overall i find that the WvWvW sandbox is kinda small and lacking. I get a completely different feeling while playing planetside 2 open world stuff vs. gw2. Wiping a zerg in gw2 compared to wiping out an enemy zerg of tanks doesn’t have the same feel to it.

I know exactly what you’re saying. Just yesterday, I was playing Pac-Man, and no matter how many dots I ate or how many ghosts I killed, those boards just kept filling up and those ghosts just kept chasing me over and over and over again. I didn’t feel like I achieved anything. It’s so lame, I kept 100% each map and killing all those ghosts and didn’t get a single achievement of any kind. I mean, what’s the point?

I want a Pac-Man MMO.

A world filled with dots and 3 dimensional mouths.

I’m gonna gank some ghosts.

Hmm thanks to the real answers i agree also
