Guild Wars 2

Something you can do with others when you’re not in the mood for fighting mobs.

examples of what you would like?

currently
guild mishes, rushes i think
jumping puzzels
achievement hunting, divers, map exploring (vistas pois weigh-pts)

so i assume u playing this game so u expect mostly to be atking stuff. how much time do u expect to not need to do that? 10%, 50%? 100%? i dunno

I..disagree.
This game has more non combat activities than most MMO’s imo.

Here are just some:
Jumping puzzles
Scavanger hunt achievements (karkas in LA, Gold coins in silverwastes)
Diving spots
Belchers Bluff
Costume Brawl
Daily Activities
Adventures in HOT
Guild Halls
Guild puzzle, guild race and guild trek
Festive activites like bell choir

I wouldnt mind them adding more, and some are pooly implemented but I still think theres enough things to do.

I mean something like polymock or a casino.
I hear Final Fantasy has a casino, I think GW2 should have something like this too.

Gw2 IS a casino. There is more gambling/luck in this game then IRL.

You forgot to mention the rest of the other mini games:

Crab toss
Sanctum Sprint
Southsun Survival
Keg Brawl

casino

Mystic forge

Game lacks a lot,and that proves 4.900.000 players lose since release.

Game had 8 mil subs at the release(at least they said so,but i am sure they lied)

Game has 3,1 mil players now.

In 3 years,losing 5 mil players,clearly yells TIME FOR A CHANGE.

So when you say that GW2 is lacking non-combat content you don’t count all of the existing content that matches that description unless its a casino?

No offense but your thread title is as misleading as if I claimed that GW2 was lacking violence because I wanted to watch a demolition derby.

I was thinking about having a spa evening where we got mani pedi’s, braided each others hair and drank Chardonnay.

I’ll see myself out now…

I hear GW2 already has a “casino” with the Mystic toilet, Black lion chests, and the Ectoplasm gambler.

Level up a Guild Hall
The amazing Toxic Bacon HP

I think you are confused with some other game….very confused.

Guild Wars 2 had ZERO subs at release. It isn’t a subscription based game.

As far as 8 million sales on launch, I don’t see how that is possible since ArenaNet recently announced they had 7 million accounts in 2015 pre HOT. That 7 million is the number of players who logged in at least once since accounts are not deleted. Since that includes f2p it’s obvious that total sales over the life of the game (or at launch) is far less than 8 million.

It would be interesting to see what retention in other games have 3 years after release before we start moaning that the game is dying.

3.5M copies of the game sold within the first year. I don’t see why they needed to make up their numbers.

Polymock would actually be kinda nice to see, though.

It’s a shame that FFXIV has lost all three rolls of their casino craps tosses for a winning MMORPG. I had such high hopes for FFXIV since I really enjoyed playing FFXI, but their initial 1.0 was pretty bad followed by poorly done reboots of 1.2 and 2.0.

It’s a matter of opinion though. It still remains one of the most played MMO’s in the world, which for a sub is incredible. The reboot has been critically acclaimed. I don’t prefer it to GW2, but it has done extraordinarily well for itself.

Back to the OP, I understand what you mean and some of the activities mentioned aren’t well implemented, but it is an action orientated game, so it is to be expected the emphasis is there. I will argue that Guild Races and Guild Treks are absolutely excellent additions to this game, especially races since you can work together outside of the Guild for completion.

What could we add?
- Fishing maybe. I love fishing in Lotro for eg and if as well implemented, I’d be a fan
- SAB to retun. It’s more puzzle/jumping content and its return would be very welcome as a break from the pure action
- Polymock. I doubt we will ever see this now, but it’s popular with GW1 players and was very good

You’re mixing your stats up with a other MMO that shall not be named. GW2 has 0 subs, and always has. Unless you mean they sold 8mil copies of the game, but then refunded 5mil copies of the game?
