Honestly what type of content would you want to be added? More PvE mobs to kill? OMG THAT WOULD BE SO BORING!

GW2 needs to be that game that puts multiple genres in one masterpiece. Is GW2 a masterpiece? Not yet…..

Jumping puzzles fuel the platformer type. they aren’t really puzzles. they are pretty easy to beat. It is easy to tell where you need to go.

I believe Anet can pull this off. For GW2 to be successful it needs to be more than just an MMORPG.

Interesting opinion, but not shared by all. Some of the jumping puzzles are very puzzling, to me.

I hope when you say multiple genres, you aren’t thinking of FPS shooters, and such, or…if so…that’s a completely separate part of the game. Those are not my favorite. Lol.

What kind of genres are you suggesting be added?

hell no to FPS. But we can have turned-based gameplay as well, such as polymock.

Racing is already there with Sanctum Sprint which is great for those who have good computers and internet speed.

If you look at GW2 in a technical PoV you already have many genres covered.

I guess players need something to hate such as the JPs to make the rest of the game better. You always have to have something bad for good stuff to be present.

This is just me but I have never had a problem with JPs. I guess I am just elite. Plus there are guides to all the JPs so if you really are having trouble there is help on those interwebs.

It isn’t much fun to consult a guide. Maybe that’s why some say there are no puzzles. =P

Isn’t Belcher’s Bluff turn-based?

I don’t know why some people don’t care for Jumping Puzzles; maybe they aren’t good at jumping. I know that Norns and Charr make it more difficult. I prefer my Asura for those puzzles.

Belcher’s Bluff is more like Rock-Paper-Scissors


While I don’t disagree that other things from other genres of game should be added, they should be added only if they add something to the game. Not merely just for the sake of adding it, otherwise it feels forced. Extra Credits actually done an episode on this.

For example, JP do add something to GW; exploration that isn’t bound by a flat plane. Finding an old ruin and having to make your way across the decrepit architecture to explore.

Life is a journey.
Time is a river.
The door is ajar.

“No matter how many genres you’re mashing together. It’s still has to be about one thing”

This video says pretty much the same thing I’m trying to say. Wish ANet devs learn how to deliver that ONE cohesive thing. I think they had it at some point, but now they have slipped into nonsense. Hopefully temporarily.

Give me game. Not grind, not gating, not RNG, not +stat junk, not checklists.

hey, lets put fps (first person shooter) in guild wars 2! It’s another genre! And puting more genres into a single game will make it better! Yeah! Lets do that!
