I suspect it is…. I cannot believe that ANet would let ESO and Wildstar..not to mention the new WOW expansion steal all the headlines and press…Add in the fact they have been MYSTERIOUSLY quiet about content and updates……

Don’t you think something BIG is coming? Maybe it isn’t just simple LS 2..but much bigger than that..like opening up a lot of permanent areas…introduction of Tengu..maybe a new class….Something is bubbling under…….Could just be my gas..But I suspect….something good

We get one of these topics every few weeks, whenever someone reads about a new game that has recently come out, or is coming out soon or has just been announced.

I’ve lost count of all the games players have insisted Anet have to counter with a big announcement or release (but if you can find a list of every MMO released in the last 2 years that should cover it) but they’ve never timed their releases around what other developers are doing and I see no reason they would start now.

Yep. Just have to wait for China to get settled, then we’ll get new stuff again. Just hoping we won’t have to wait for them to get through the whole living story to date before we get anything new.

They’ve already said China will be starting from the same point we’re at now and will be going straight into Season 2 when we get it. Basically they missed Season 1, which sucks for them but I suppose it’s easier than trying to run the whole thing separately and leaving them always behind.

Nope. This game actually IS progressing this bad/slowly. If you whish for a game with more development or content being added, play something else. This truly is the worst progressing game i’ve been playing so far tbh.

You are right, see at the PvP situation, is from the beta that people ask for more game modes, and after 2 year nothing…… How on earth is so difficult to copy some game mode and paste it on some new maps?

And the characters situation? 1 new healing skill and 5 not so useful traits. It’s a shame that in 2 year i have paid more than an expansion in gems, and receive less than every other named mmo, but i’m sure it is my fault.

I think ArenaNet is under development meltdown as they try to fix the core systems of the game to ready the game itself for new content, likely one expansion.

What i know is, one expansion with the game systems like this without new major improvements on it, would be a move risking failure.

One thing ASAP comes to mind when we speak about things that need to be done right, is the STORY MODE, on a new future expansion, they simply can’t do the same, GW2 story was a sad story itself.
It’s things like that they need to fix and get done right before anything DAT BIG.

You get that we’re probably not getting an expansion, right? That’s what the Living Story is supposed to fulfill. Expansion level content over an extended period of time, instead of one lump of content all at once with nothing in between.

I mean they’ve said no expansion enough times, you’d think people would actually catch on.

Pretty sure nothing big will be coming for a while.

Kinda sad since the feature patch didn’t bring much new. Instead it just made existing features or use of current resources more convenient.

“The thing that we haven’t decided yet,” he went on, "is what form that type of content will take. Is it right for Guild Wars 2 for that kind of boxed expansion? Is it right for that to be something we add, live, through storylines in the game? Is that something we want to sell through our in-game store? There are a lot of different options available to us.

Are you planning to do the same stuff over and over and over again for the next few years? Yeah, well, neither are other people..

Lets just hope that LS #2 will add some new maps/activities we can chew on for the next 2 years.

I can’t believe how the same company of the original series could screw up their sequel so badly, I actually feel like going back again.

Here’s to hoping ANet doesn’t do an expansion until their new PvP format is done, they make improvements to Obs mode and add a tourney playback feature, they handle PvP disconnects and 4v5s, the new race is done, new skills and traits are done, and most importantly implement PvP ladders.

Until then I look forward to LS season 2.

Cantha will not be part of the game. There is a book (Winds of Change) you can read in the Durmond Priory outpost in Divinity’s Reach. In the book, it was said that trade to Cantha was disrupted and then closed off so the other continents could deal with the Elder Dragons alone.

But… isn’t that how every other MMO on the market works? Isn’t that the actual expansion model? You get the game and you play it for a couple years then you get more game to play for another couple years?

Have we already gotten so used to the Living Story twice a month sort of content updates that the idea of not having any extra anything is anathema?

ESO?

Allow me to leave this here. This is Angry Joes finally finished review (months of playing it).

In short ESO is utter garbage. I suggest watching his entire review.

Like many modern video games, it was released in an alpha state, and has never undergone testing.

ALL IS VAIN.
PvP modes are the “endgame” in all MMOs.
Stop failing at PvE, and fix WvW/SPvP. Thank you.

I recommend not watching Angry Joe for reviews if you are over 21. You can go check Metacritic for legit reviewers from reputable magazines and from legit players who played the game and not bandwagoning trolls who give games 0 ratings.

You guys know when they launched in China Anets limitation for launch was 2 million players and it was filled before it even launched. Need to realized that maybe thats the reason things are quiet lately in NA and EU and no announcements yet for any big updates which suck honestly. Hope that we get something permanent though or just announcements of whats coming up.

Success is my only option, failure is not.

Nothing wrong with Angry Joe’s review. He plays the games quite a bit before he puts out a review so he goes through the nuts and bolts of the game thoroughly.

Tom’s Hardware also panned ESO as did PC Gamer.

Metacritic – meh. I trust the above sites over metacritic (which is written by players).

Really why would you give a buggy as hell game a 10 rating which was Skyrim btw? And by panned is this what you mean – “A few well-designed systems struggle to overcome lifeless presentation. Capable, but ultimately hard to recommend. 68 PC Gamer” – hardly “utter garbage”. You can go read the full review on PC Gamer but then again why bother when a Youtuber can play dress up and act like a kitten? Only Youtuber I trust with game reviews is Totalbiscuit.

However I dont agree with PC Gamer’s assessment on the voice acting – how is it “lamentable”? As for the rest of the article, I am not going to rebut it in a GW2 forum.

Off topic anyway.

Um, that’s the exact same basic review Angry Joe gave it. It’s got some stuff, but not worth the sub. With an average rating. 68 from PC Gamer is effective 5 out of 10 really, for how they rate things.

So you’re griping about his reviews then displaying a review that complete agrees with him and yet saying he doesn’t know his stuff?

@ Drogo

Yes, sometimes he can be immature, at least its in a comical way.

Yes, sometimes the scores reviewers give games are completely wrong. (to high or to low).

Angry Joe covers games quite extensively, especially big hyped up releases. Metacritic is garbage btw.

But here’s a hint: don’t look at scores and ratings, ever. Look at the actual review, and the things it says and shows, then make up your own mind. Ratings and scores don’t mean crap, by anyone, ever.

As for Skyrim, I’d give it a 10 now (not when released of course), I’ve had over 1000 hours of entertainment without plugins/expansions ALONE. With plugins and expansions…. so many hours played. A game that can provide that much entertainment is doing something right. And its single player.

Exactly like the 2000+ word review / article by PC Gamer. Anyway if anyone is interested my rating for GW2 after thousands of hours of gameplay is a solid 7.5 for all content to date. I am not an experienced MMOer as I never played WoW but I have played a lot of games.
