Guild Wars 2

You people raided lots in GW1?

I wish we could down vote trolls.

I raid every day. We enter WvWvW and go conquer stuff manned by human AI.

The thing I miss/like about raiding is big fights with interesting/challenging dynamics.

We have some big fights in GW2, but they’re impossible to fail. Which makes them not so interesting nor challenging.

Making things instanced is a crutch that devs can use to make an encounter unzergable. Seems like that’d be important if they ever wanted a big fight that is also challenging.

If they made one, I’d definitely do it, regardless of the rewards. I’d even pay for it, if access were a gem-shop/DLC thing.

Id like to see raids or 10 / 20 man dungeons added to the game. But let me tell you from an experienced raider from several mmo’s including wow. Any raiding added to GW2 needs to be totally optional. It needs to offer rewards that are the same stat wise as any other top gear in the game. Even just offer dungeon gear, make it an alternative way to farm for your dungeon set. It should also be content that has a 5 man mode so everyone can experience it.

Anyone who actually enjoyed raiding for the challenge and the teamwork it offered would be happy with that deal.

I don’t miss raids at all been there done that… so boring in the end. That there aren’t any and won’t be any is a huge plus if ppl want to raid there are games with raids just don’t try and turn GW2 into just like ….. I agree with the poster who said small groups with brains loving that atm.

As long as drops aren’t better than exotics we get currently I couldn’t care less either way. I have yet to run every explorable dungeon and I doubt many have, so /shrug.

If you HAVE to makes raids – Add Legendary armor skins with Exotic stats. Done – no pressure on having to raid, but something to raid for the goes with Guild Wars 2.

Just so you know though, Raids would most likely suck with this combat system. It is just better designed for 5 man teams.

Raiding tends to be rather shallow, in my opinion, of what could really be done with content. Adding in a gear treadmill is just entirely un-fun, because each and every time, you get the best gear, another patch comes out that makes all that gear completely irrelevant.

However, raiding can be a lot of fun, if the gear treadmill does not exist and all the items you get in it are purely for cosmetic purposes. It would provide a wonderful challenge, and hopefully content that people would not be able to rush through instantly and give them something to work toward.

I agree with this part of your quote.
