Guild Wars 2

Hey all. With all the negativity in here, I wanted to pop in with a positive message and maybe make folks feel better. I’ve been playing mmos for years, since I was a teenager and cutting my teeth on Ultima Online and…wait hold on a sec…

/map lfg fractals level 5

Where was I…oh yes I’ve been playing mmos for years and I rather enjoy the concept. Thousands of people coming together to enjoy a game. It is really great. The problem with other…oh wait a sec…

/map lfg for fractals level 5

…the problem with these things today though is I’m a grown man. You see, I have limited play time between family life, work, and everything else. I am lucky if I have 3 hours a night to play, and this really limits….

/map lfg for fractals, level 5

…really limits my enjoyment of most mmos. You see, when you get to the end game in most mmos all there is to do at end game is grind dungeons, and just finding a group for those can take a very long time. Too often in other mmos I would get a group, just to…

…just to notice I don’t even have enough time to finish the run before I have to go to bed. I’m certainly glad GW2 doesn’t have that problem. It is so easy to find a group and run a dungeon to advance. I don’t have to worry about falling behind due…

…due to my busy life. I really appreciate GW2 finally making a game that can fit in my life that I can play for years to come.

I don’t watch TV to be honest. Don’t even have a tv subscription, just internet. You would be amazed how much time a family and job can take up.

I, for one, do not appreciate your sarcasm.

I get that you’re frustrated and don’t have time to play video games anymore because you’d rather spend a few hours a day watching TV but…

I am so absolutely sorry that the original poster might have a job or two, children to nurture, or a wife to make love to occasionally, or even books he wishes or has to read.

I am also sorry to the original poster that he bought a game that was specifically marketed as being for his play style, and that said game has pulled a drastic, kitten 180 to be more suited to you, Kristophoros. I wish the original poster all luck in getting a refund on his mis-purchase should he choose to pursue one.

Your name reminds me so much of a certain chain of e-mails…

“I wwebsite as on the internet”

Sorry. I am just angry about all the haters.

Well anyway my serious suggestion is, don’t try to pug dungeons. Do them with friends/guildies.

And no you don’t absolutely have to get in a fractals run every time you play. The game isn’t going anywhere and you’re not paying a sub.

OP,

im in the same situation as you.

yeah, we ll never “finish” GW2.
probably never see the whole content.

but you can still enjoy it for 2-3-400h of casual gameplay.
do your quest, check for a dungeon once in a while, do some wvw.

i mean.. i already know i have no chance of going “ahead” in this game.
probably wont be able to find a group for fractals once i reach there…
when the game jams on you… quit it.
but as of now, im still enjoying it, doing a dungeon here and there, and i never had any problem.

EntDS.4687:

Maybe you should stop playing games then, you’re obviously too old for them.

Really?
I agree with the OP.
I too have a husband and a child and real life commitments.
I don’t have a TV because I value my free time.
I bought this game because I was told by the developers that they value my time as I do and that they made the game with people like me in mind.

I have played games for more than 20 years ,because they are fun.
If I am too old to play games, then you are too young to have an opinion- see how disrespectful that is?

I’m not sure what’s stopping you from playing the game?

To start with…. She….. read bud….. “She”..“her”

to the OP…. the one misconception I would like to see everyone grasp is the notion of “Advancement” or “getting ahead”.
This is not a traditional MMO….there has not been a race for an Endgame unless you impose it on yourself. Some bonds are hard to break especially after being conditioned by specific games for years.
To this day I still don’t have a single 80 in GW2 …close….but not rushing it. My play time like yours is very limited also but that doesn’t limit me from seeing content. You just got to understand that even if you don’t see it now ….. doesn’t mean your 5 years behind if it takes you 2-3 weeks to get into that dungeon. Heck most of my leveling came from WvW with my guild. Otherwise I am cruising the landscape looking at the scenery…. enjoying different scenario’s via Hearts, Events or even the random chatter with NPC. I have 4 toons…5th is my daughters.
If it takes an inordinate amount of time for anything consistently check to see if maybe its a server population issue. Or if there is certain events going on thats "all the rage " at that moment. Then understand its gonna be a bit..roll on.
edit: To add in … yes I have done CM before the fix and after, PuG’d this week ends event and some of the Halloween stuff. The other dungeons I am going to come back to along with CM. CM I done 5-6 time all in Story, mostly because for some reason I thought the explorer modes went in level stages…. meaning Story was 35(?) and then maybe Expl 1, 2 lvl40-ish or whatever. Guildy corrected me so now thats more content I get to look forward to.
