Guild Wars 2

So I see a lot of negativity and frustrations exhibited through many of the posts here lately. Some I can agree with.

I was frustrated that the Lost Shores events had issues. But I got my monthly completion, and generally appreciated the new content.

I really enjoyed the maps/dungeons of FoTM with all the little achievements (loved bowing to the chained up giant dood).

It was great seeing hundreds of people in LA and Kessex and such, as opposed to few people scattered around.

I think I’d say that the game is far from perfect and has issues that continue to be worked out.

I for one think the value on this game is great. yes, as a level 80 toon, XP and Karma really don’t mean anything anymore. I’m not a gear grinder (not going to grind over something because the way it looks).

I play for the fun, for the experience of it, for the comraderie of sharing experiences with others.

GW2 will continue to evolve and add value that I for one really appreciate.

Again, no the game is not perfect. But for me it’s been great to spend $60 on a game that gives me more than 10 hours of enjoyment. I feel ANET gives PHENOMENAL value for the dollar and deserves respect for what they’ve delivered.

No it’s not perfect. Yes, there are issues. Yes, people will continue to share their criticisms and frustrations, and not agree with me.

But I have been able to enjoy many hours on this game, great art work, great fun…far in excess of my frustrations. And I’m thankful that ANET delivered a very good MMO with incredible value.

Can’t wait for the XMAS events!

GW1 XMAS was a hoot! Snowball fights and candy canes! Can’t wait to see what they come up with in GW2!

:)

I agree, for a one time purchase of $60 where I have over 200 hours played, this game is a great purchase. No regrets.

I agree. I had some disappointments as well, (I missed out on the final event and the exotics/20 slot bags) but we got some good new content, and the game has been out for what? 3 months? That’s awesome. We’re getting some gear progression for those who want it, the new dungeon is really fun and provides a good challenge with the scaled difficulty, and we have a promise of more content next month. (I love wintersday in Guild Wars.) For $60 bucks, I’ve gotten about 300 hours, and I’m VERY happy with this game.

I’m hoping the Wintersday is a light, fluffy affair with less world-ending overtones as the last events.

with all the complaining we’ll be lucky if we get anymore content to enjoy.

I will be sad if candy cane shards don’t appear. I still have a bunch in GW1 and I’m trying to figure out a way to smuggle them into the HoM…

Agreed, thanks.

Two words: scrying pool.

I, too, agree about what you said. I’ve MORE than gotten my 60 bucks worth. I’ve even felt inclined to buy gems, from time to time. As long as A-net keeps releasing content the way they are, I’ll be around for a long while. I mean, look at what we’ve gotten so far. A Halloween event that spanned several days, which included a jumping puzzle that actually made you feel like you EARNED your reward. A world event that ALSO spanned several days, and included a permanent lvl 80 island, and a permanent dungeon. We’re more than likely going to get something similar for Christmas. AND, ITS ALL FREE CONTENT!!!. Whether you like the content, or NOT (I for one got screwed out of the final event due to work, but, that’s ok), you didn’t have to pay a DIME for it.
