Guild Wars 2

Before we start. I would like to see clean conversation in this thread. This is mostly covering PvE “endgame” side of things. There is some lengthy video watching and possibly some reading.

I have been thinking about this for a while and have been debating on posting about it until after watching a GuildCast video that was posted on the Dec. 27th on Youtube. I don’t really keep up with these, but this title really got me.
Here’s the video: Please watch!

I recommend watching this whole videos, but for the purpose of this video I will point out the related topics.

32:49 – 44:47 Mostly guild/social talk and some endgame
53:03 – 57:52 More on endgame

Now assuming you watched the video, how does everyone feel about this? I think something is missing both on PvE and the PvP side. Obviously there is more to do on the PvP side with the whole WvW thing, and all that’s missing is some of the things said in the video.

I feel we should have something like raids. These meta events that were meant to replace raids just aren’t cutting it. You sit and spam one thing, revive players and wait for the next phase to begin. Where is the challenge to some thing other than bosses hitting hard? I’m probably going to get told “then go back to World of Warcraft” for this, but I miss raiding. The feeling of getting a big group together and bringing down a powerful enemy that takes many tries is just satisfying to me.

I don’t know, maybe I’m the only one. I just feel like this game needs something to make it stick. The game is amazing but there IS something missing. Please don’t start a war over this. I know people weren’t expecting raids in this game, but I thought they were suppose to make something to substitute for them.

I meant to post this in Suggestions.
