Guild Wars 2

Hi. I’m Vin. Personally, I’ve always loved GW. I just hit a point in GW2 where I couldn’t feel like it was fun to play. I take this with a grain of salt as I have no friends really capable of playing with me, nor do I really wish to be a social butterfly. I quit for a long time, but I want to play again, it’s just I don’t know what people do at my level to really get into it. I’m not big on pvp, I prefer to avoid group activities unless it’s like dungeon pick ups (and with the difficulty of the dungeons that I remember, PUGs were in large part unsuccessful), and I am not big on completion-ism. I just want to get on and fight big monsters and immerse myself in my character, but I’m having trouble getting there when I can’t find anything to really get the feel of life in Tyria. I really wish that this games professions had like, actual activities to them or like there was some kind of gimmick to help us cool down from just constantly fighting things.

Has anybody else felt similar before? If so, how did you cure the mundane? Any and all suggestions (besides just hopping into “totally huge super guild name here”) are welcome.

Thank you.

Hi; I feel the same. I am a natural born singleplayer, and I bought the game this morning.

I will try to get to the next EU RP server, mostly to avoid the WOW-munchkin-zerg-farming typical endcontent playing, best build using .. and demanding MMO player, who I deeply dislike.

Someone, who tries to demand, that I have to build my character a certain way, has a 101% chance to get on top of my ignore list, to be never heard of again. I made it with a member from my guild once. I will do it again.

I like to test and play characters and odd build ideas, so I likely will never ever see the high level content. My primary goal is to have fun. And to explore the world.

Maybe we see each other in game.

Have a nice day.

Try a non mmo genre game.

Honestly, if you want a good single player experience, MMOs won’t fulfill it. The Old Republic tells a decent story for a MMO, but still not as good as a single player game where the game is designed from the bottom up for one person. MMOs are designed from the bottom up for group or short individual experiences. They are also designed to bleed you for cash (f2p or sub), and there will always be an undertone to make you feel like things are just dragging out.

You’re just never going to get the same feeling from an MMO as from a quality single player rpg, or if they do ever make one that does….everyone will be playing it.

Not sure how up to speed you are on GW2.

There is now an LFG tool and quite a few world bosses. Tequatl, Marionette, Wurm. None really require you to be social.

They have also introduced other avenues of acquiring ascended gear. (Daily acheivements = play the game and do whatever to progress.)

Hope this helps and welcome back

If you want to do world events which is what I get from your post go to gw2stuff.com. This lists all the big world bosses and their pre-events if they have them.
The LFG tool in game is cross server. I would suggest you post that you want to learn the dungeon and or have a fun run otherwise you might end up with a speed run group which would not be good for anyone.
You did not post your highest level but as long as you can get to an event you should be fine.
The newest world events like marionette need some understanding of the mechanics but I have used a lvl 60 toon there and cleared the platform with others so it is not automatically a no go area.
The new map in WvW Edge of the Mists could also be an option.
Otherwise just go out and look at the world.

Actually said MMO does exist and has done for 10+ years. It is called Runescape but it is a VERY grindy game and comes no where near to the quality this game does. However it does feature 1000% times more content especially when it comes to NON combat things such as crafting, gathering and training up skills etc. You may want to look into said game OP if you don’t mind crappier graphics etc. I don’t play it anymore due to the original creator selling out and the game been turned into something that it originally was not….

Oh and lastly that game has no real story to it, only small stories here and there told through the quests.

Having said all that I DO wish that GW2 feature a lot more content type like that does, such as the NON combat more wind down feel type. Where you can just sit, relax while still progressing something in some way.
