Guild Wars 2

With all the complaining about “Endgame”, what is it you actually want and/or consider Endgame?

Level 70+ fractals is endgame. The rest is too easy…

Non-zerg raid gameplay.

non-zerg raid is kind of redundant isn’t it?

WvW is not endgame, it’s PvP with PvE gear

I think that there is a lot of things in gw2 that you can call end-game. The problem is that most of it suck. And it wasn’t any better in gw1… I wonder why?

Keep the fractals and dungeons and PvP. I can live without it all. I want real time dynamic world events. As we were promised when we bought the game. Like the one time Karka Event and Scarlet Invasions. I want stuff happening in the world not instances. I want auto grouping. I want an in game event timer log so you can plan your play around what’s going to happen.

I want to be able to log on look at the schedule for the next 6 hours and say I want to do A,C and G and in between I’ll do my dailies and maybe join the zerg in Frostgorge for a while. Then I might go look into doing a bit of Adventure Box or what ever the living story is.

I DON’T want Pug Dungeons or Fractals ever as far as I’m concerned it’s a waste of my money. A bunch of 10 years fighting over who got what and who is the worst tank ever, sorry but I’m too old for that crap.

And I absolutely don’t want any specific item tied to doing dungeons or fractals. If you can get it in a Dungeon or Fractal I want it available somewhere in the big world too. Yep, I’m talking the dungeon currency and the Fractal currency too. So there. I don’t care if there is a specific skin available only in the dungeon but I don’t want a legendary weapon tied to doing a dungeon or fractal. God, The WvW was bad enough. But not as bad a pugging a dungeon. GW1 then WoW did me on dungeons, and I’ll never do on again. I don’t mine if you need them in the game to keep the dungeon players happy.

End of which game? The one we were playing before ascended gear or the one after because they are very different games

You mean like 5% different, right?

Players want to feel like they’ve graduated to something… that there’s a “next level” of sorts.

Similar to playoffs in pro sports.

You mean 50h of grind for one ascended weapon different right?

Not if you know what raiding is. (which isn’t present in GW2.)

- dungeons
- getting titles
- getting good looking skins
- helping people
- WvWvW

Don’t keep doing that or your tongue will permanently stick to the window

What I do after 80:
~Help people / guildies
~Level crafting (building at least one on each character, cause I felt like it)
~Level alts
~Hunt skins
~Goof off in dungeons
~Bait the troll in LA (remember to bring popcorn!)
~Map completion (still aint got that done on any char, I’m lazy)
~Play the bi-weekly LS when I feel like it
~Annoy the heck out of people in WvW (I so miss the original GW1 mesmer for this)
~Occasionally jump into a hot join pvp (days I feel masochistic, only logical explanation)
~Attempt jumping puzzles (just to kitten myself off with how badly I suck at them)

What I’d like to see eventually:
~Elite areas – requires more then 5 players, requires strategy, skill, and more than just DPS

~GvG – I don’t play it myself, but I did enjoy watching it. Although Colin mentioned this is something they’re still looking into, so here’s to hoping.

~JQ or FA type pvp – smaller scale siege / defend while gathering ‘x’ resource type play

~RA/TA type pvp – ie, elimination mode. “Annihilate the opposing team”

~Skill hunting/questing

- dungeons

Dungeons can be done before lvl 80. Downscaling is a one way to keep them playable but they do not posses any kind of mechanic to provide content for using your lvl 80 full exotic/ascended.

- getting titles

So – get 200 gold or kill Dolyacs for the rest of you life, yes?

- getting good looking skins

RNG! You can kill=farm champs for month and get one ugly skin which you didn’t want and like. That’s not an endgame for Christ sake.

- helping people

Helping? Somebody please help me with a comment on that. Helping as an endgame… woa =_=

- WvWvW

Here I agree.

Endgame should open many new things to do with fully equipped character. Or open new possibilities with existing content for lower levels.

Interested to hear your definition of raiding then, since it IS redundant.

Guild Hall customization and expansion and GvG?
and more permanent stuff for Achievements and skins.

lol Got to get a Guild Hall to customize first! I agree though.

It’s the first thing that came to my mind when GW2 was announced.

“I can’t wait to see Guild Halls in GW2 and how much they expand the creation/customization system for them!” Then GW2 comes to life and there’s no Guild Halls period. -.-;;

Yeah, it’s one of the things I’m really looking forward to as well. Crafting Stations, Merchants, Guild Stashes, TP, maybe an Asura Gate to LA or something, a snazzy two-story strip club where we can go afk ( Oops, that’s Scarlet Blade ).

PvP and WvW.
Some living story achievements and legendaries on the side.

Who was grinding for 50 hours to get an ascended weapon?

absolutely everything.
