Guild Wars 2

Looking for new things to do. WvW is uneventful in Anvil Rock right now, and renown hearts are boring me to death. I’m a level 66 Necro on Anvil Rock.

I would do dungeons, but nobody is around to do them. I mean what am I supposed to do, ugh. Help me.

I’m gonna go with the obvious and say “level to 80?”

Its that I’m at a loss as to what to do that isnt boring as sin to get there.

I like finding all of the hidden remote places that aNets tossed into the game.

I actually like leveling in GW2 the most – never had that before in an MMO. So I’m spending most of my time alting, I’m almost at 80 on my fourth toon.

If there’s nobody around to do dungeons, guest it or even transfer. Desolation (EU) is alive and kicking.

I actually have the most fun just exploring, doing events and poking my nose into every corner of the world just to see what I’ll find. One of the most satisfying experiences I ever had in the game was doing the Loreclaw Expanse JP and seeing another guy a little distance ahead of me. He obviously didn’t know I was there, and I lost track of him for a while, but I later caught up with him when he was downed by the Veteran at the end. I helped him up, we took down the boss together, then both of us opened the chest, waved/bowed to each other, and went our separate ways. All without ever saying a word to each other.

Reminds me of my childhood days at the arcade where 2 random kids, total strangers to each other, would pound dozens of coins into the machine to take down Death Adder, then smile at each other as the credits rolled before heading off to another machine.

the most fun i had was when i bough precursors for like 10-15 gold to resell it for 500 gold or more…oh man good days.

Forced grouping. 99% of mmo’s have been pandering to solo-casual players, even trying to make their mmo’s so un-mmo – like off-line RPG’s. Nuf already! But here, most things worth doing, you need a group, or at least some players contributing. Now the question is, will anet sell out… like so many mmo’s have done (I’m looking at you eq, swg-nge, wow and all your clones etc etc).

What do I find fun? I make multiple characters, devise builds, and use them in WvW.

The forums are the most fun part of the game. The game was fun until that patch in November. It was also fun until everyone in the guild I was in got bored and left.

What I find fun is playing with guildies. We do dungeons, fractals, level up new toons, farming events, jumping puzzles, exploring, helping newcomers, going for achievements and titles, dragon events, crafting weapon skins…

Last night we made two parties and went to CoF Path 1 to see who could finish it faster… lots of fun… but my party lost

We may go back to WvW now that culling may be improved.

The only things I don’t find fun is getting a precursor weapon, and capture the base PvP.

Leveling up to 80 is the best for me. I’m at 78…so close. But i have to say, getting my first legendary will be awesome too.

OP, don’t wait for a dungeon group on your server. Check out gw2lfg.com

You can find dungeon groups quite faster there. Keep in mind you can do dungeons with people on other servers.

Just a caveat to start, what is fun for me and what is fun for you are not necessarily the same things. My current short term goal (fun objective) is to level my thief from 65 to 80 and get exotic armor for him. This is not my first character so I know how to proceed. I am playing through the personal story and proceeding towards the temple karma vendors in Orr. I am doing the dynamic events I encounter and harvesting every plant, tree and ore node on the way since they generate considerable experience. I also pop into WvWvW occasionally and see if I can find a zerg to run with, taking resource camps, towers, etc generates lots of experience. Yesterday I got 29K experience (and a few badges of honor) for being killed several times while taking the central castle in the eternal battle ground. Not bad for a few silver in repair costs. There are multiple ways to speed up leveling, for example on one of my characters I crafted from level 70 to 80. On another character I leveled from about level 45 to level 80 by completing dailys, which gave me about 1 level per half hour. Having looked at your posting history I see that you have tried different character classes and tried to find a quick leveling method previously. I cannot imagine that you do not know about crafting, dynamic event chains, heart quests, resource mining, WvWvW, etc. I can only conclude that you, as you originally state, find them boring. I wish I could be more helpful.

It was more fun to me back when you could have top gear without having to wait a month or so for one trinket.

making gold and making it rain

I loved the leveling process in this game more than any other MMO i have ever played(in most MMOs i got bored before reaching max lv)

You need a friend or two and this games exploration/pve suddently becomes amazing. Alone, i can imagine it being a boring grind instead.

i just log in for dailies now. i have everything i want/need already. hopefully this new patch will bring a new purpose since i like WvW. not setting a high bar though because every other patch has let me down so far.

I created 5 different characters with diff. classes and races.

Played each of them for about 3-5 hours and was extensively bored to death. routine, mundane instances and quests. flat gameplay, generic uninteresting storylines.
“Gather ravens eggs and put them into a wash basin thing a majig!” SERIOUSLY…!? “Pick up cannonballs!” SERIOUSLY….!? “Kill x amount of bandits ot minotaurs running amuck!” OMG SERIOUSLY….!!"

“That is soooo 2005-2009!”

I have to ask, who scripted this game? “It is the corniest, and poorly written trife I have ever listened to!”

I am astonished someone really thinks this game is remotely fun. In reality it’s more like a chore, a mundane chore with no reward or allowance afterwards.

EDIT: “jus kiddin, it’s a fairly fun and decent addition to the MMORPG genre. There are some things I really enjoy and like about it.”
