Guild Wars 2

I can’t keep up!

I already have a load of world exploration to do, I have barely touched half the high end fun events, I haven’t even completed all the dungeons already available.

You guys are pumping out an insane amount of content.

And I’m not even paying for it.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen an mmo pump out this much content on such a consistent basis. Sure, you gutted my favorite class/playstyle lately, but overall the game is just getting better and better. I’m excited to see gw2 turn into the next online behemoth, which.. given time.. I think it will.

Hats off to you, for real. But is anyone else feeling overwhelmed? I don’t know what to do next! Apparently I have to do stuff in real life as well?

Relax

The really cool thing about GW2 is that you don’t have to finish all the content to “progress”. No pressure, no guilt – just do what you enjoy doing, go for the stuff you want, play what you want to play and have fun

What about the people who have done world exploration 8 months ago? Your just late to the game, and meh the contents are so easy most of them can be done in a few hours so it doesn’t stop you from doing other stuff and you don’t even have to do them if you want to do something else instead. The only thing keeping me in this game is the content updates which gives me something to do.

content updates itself is fine .. problem is bank space for all the stuff .. my bank tab space is already maxed , broom , hats , horn , bell , all the stacks of dungeon ,fractals , guild commendations tokens , Dragon bash mask , winterdays stuff , Coffers , skins of all sort , Marjory’s Journal , SAB stuff .. , Boosters , insane amount of karma jugs …etc etc ..

why limit at 250 in the collectible tab ??

thank god mini stacks because i must have found 21 Mini holographic Risen so far

Lol i like how your like “stop being awesome!!” I cant wait until this game takes mantle as best mmorpg. Just waiting for the next wow sub update saying they down another few million. Finally a developer knows how to take care of their game very well… They deserve it!!

OH GOD WHY DO WE HAVE ALL THIS FREE CONTENT? WHYYY!

On a serious note, you’re complaining that they’re releasing free goodies that are all optional.

I don’t think the OP is complaining! Just praising with faint … drats, I suppose, the stronger word being likely to turn feline.

Disagree.

New Content comes out.
Choice between World Completion and New Content.

If I dont do the New Content, I miss out on skins that will be gone forever, weapons/armors/accessories with stats that I will have to pay a fortune(see Sentinel’s 26g apiece and rising or Scythe Staff skin) to get later if I do not do it now, and most importantly, I miss out on the content itself because it will be gone.

If I do the Content, then I dont have time to do World Completion.

So,
1. Extremely Pressured to do the New Content because it will be gone soon.
2. Extremely Guilty that I missed one-time-only items(I was in the plane for 20 hours +8hours transit time +12hours timezone difference during that weekend with the fireworks and never got the Dragon Helmets…and now never will be able to. Sadly, I wanted the Dragon Helmets)
3. Extremely Unhappy to pay a fortune to get specific stats/skins because of missed event/rng boxed skins(and that’s provided said item is even available on TP in the first place).

NOT Cool

BUT OH GOD WHAT ABOUT IF I DARE TAKE A DAY OFF AND DO NOT GET TO DO ALL THE CONTENT?

THAT WOULD KILL ME!

But yes, optional or not, people will still complain:

• Some will say that the content is still crap and too easy to do
• Some will say that developing it takes resources from other place

Personally, I am most worried about how far they can go before they run out of “original” ideas. I sure as heck wouldn’t want them to start implementing content for every single stereotypical “holiday” out there. Can you imagine Thanksgiving in Tyria? Me neither.

That used to be how it was…. mainly b/c we could always come back and do it later.
(even really out-of-the-way stuff like Aurora Glades b/c eventually it’d be the Zaishen Daily and after enough tries you’d find some ppl who weren’t DeeduhDees)

If the only way to replay this content though is through Fractals?? ….which Randomly picks the next flavor of dungeon you get put into every time??? … then screw that noise b/c this is not what people want and it’s been made pretty clear to Anet ever since they first introduced this awful awful awful Infusion system.

I’ll be honest, it’s extremely refreshing to for once, hear a complaint about to much content in a MMO

I’d just like to point out that if they didn’t release the content, then you also would not be able to get the skins.

Just fyi this was less of a complain post and more to check how other players are coping with all the content.
Maybe I just have less free time than y’all…

I’m in the same boat as you, fadeaway. I’ve basically put the normal story on hold just to make sure I keep up with the Living Story. This wouldn’t be an issue if it was all permanent content, as you said, but if I choose not to take part, it means missing out on things like Azurite, weapon skins, the Fervid Censer etc. So I HAVE to put everything else on hold.

It’s awesome what ANet is doing, and I love the fact that they’re giving us new content, but I’d prefer if it they dialed back the speed just a bit.

…reminds me of the time I once cashed a five thousand dollar check and was upset it all didn’t fit into my wallet.

new content/living story is always welcome by the community, but new one every 2 weeks is just too fast i think……

they should stick with per month basis……. less hectic for the players, less pressure on the development team…. everyone wins….

Christ whats the worst that will happen, you will miss some skins in GW3 like the 50/50 ones from GW? They will be buyable from the CS anyway.

This.

They release new content every few weeks, but it takes about a day to complete it (not including “kill 1000 of something that only spawns every few min” achievements). That leaves you with the rest of the few weeks in-between to get back to doing everything else.

I bet you didn’t go around complaining “I have too much money!”

I don’t think there is all that much content to go through. It’s the grind achievements that take up all the time.

Go kill 300 transparent mobs! Go lit effigies on fire 50 times! Win a boring PvP mode 20 times!

Why can’t they just stick to achievements such as completing the actual story of the Living Story, or the added jumping puzzles. These are actually achievements (although some harder than others of course).

Away with the mindless grind and all these things become so much better.

Supported. Achievements for completing new content? Great, especially if they come in different degrees of difficulty. Press F 250 times…boring.
