Guild Wars 2

So this isn’t a thread about the manifesto-ignoring kneejerk gear grind system that makes paragrind levels look like the pinnacle of game design and ingenuity. This thread is for all of the features we were supposed to be getting. All the things that “didn’t quite make release”.

Feel free to add your own people, I’m missing tons.

• tablet/phone app with live updates of guildies and chat.
• air ships that we could own
• guild halls
• downlevel loot scaling so “everyone doesn’t bunch up in one or two zones”
• more pvp maps (thanks for the… one?)
• more pvp modes
• spectator mode
• guesting
• city activities (each city was supposed to have some type of keg brawl thing to participate in)

With so much awesome stuff left to put finishing touches on… why has anet put dev time into a gear grind system to make players who’ve already left happy? When are we getting these things?

• Proper voiceacting
• Polished cinematics/cutscenes.

I think Anet should just stop bothering making any content to this game since it appears that no matter what they do, people are still crying their eyes out in here.

I doubt you’d see any whining if they would leave Ascended armor out.

I’m missing only

• Reasonable and non-hysterical community.

But i’m afraid this is only thing Anet can’t provide.

I think you’re dead wrong. People are pouring money into this game like crazy, at least people I talk to. They want content, not treadmills though. So anet should make content like crazy.

Other games do treadmills. And they do them better. No one who wants treadmills wants this, because none of those people still play.

I really want the people who spent time on this to come out and explain why this was right thing to spend time on. After all its why you did it right?

This. We’re not upset about content – we love content. We love having a new dungeon. We love a new zone and new things to find. What we DON’T love is finding out that our progression up to this point is being rendered obsolete by a poorly-disguised first step on a gear treadmill that many of us have seen several times before in games that we left to come play this one.

BACK TO TOPIC PLEASE

Things we still haven’t gotten that were promoted up until the release of gw2.

Don’t need this merged with the “qq less/anet lies” reaction thread.

I am still waiting for duels and a better LFG tool. Instead i get more gear to grind… yay,

• Fun

I bought the Witch and the Mad King outfit.. More things like that I wouldn’t mind shelling out money for since I enjoyed the game. But.. Grinding better gear for the sake of being able to grind EVEN better gear is.. distasteful. I have no problem with seeing Exotic for the months/years I played this game. GW1 had progression without resorting to this.

the game shipped with a very pronounced lack of skins to grind out for the looks i want.

the system of destroying gear to change looks is also short sighted.’

i’d love to be able to change outfits every day. but i can’t can i?

I’m missing two things mainly:

1. Guesting
2. Guesting

and if you pressure me, I might come up with a third:

3. Guesting

I wish I could +1 this post a thousand times.

It’s still November. I’m willing to wait and see, before I start complaining about them not adding those new stuff yet. Gear grind? Is it already happening? Or just purely assumptions from a blog post and few PRs? What if on day 1 you’ll instantly get it? What if not? We’re not sure yet.

Anyways, there’s only one thing I want now: Guesting.

An LFG system that does not require us to spam /map chat.

Yep im missing that also.

*And a LFG system like illgot mentioned above me

Gear progression isn’t that bad and some people make it sound like its the end of the world.
And I think it’s especially funny that probably over 3/4 of these people run dungeons already!!!

Here is a GREAT post from showatt!!

- A roll back on one of the patches to fix the culling issue. I miss the times where we can actually SEE our enemies.

Funny how this new content reminds me of the jay wilson moments….

First-person view.

Credit for Support

I remember a thread a while back that said they would be looking at ways to credit people for support actions in DE’s, as the credit award system is based on doing physical damage. Those of us who play support builds (and take time to res people) dont get credit as we are not contributing damage
