Guild Wars 2

So you’re telling me, I have to GRIND 9 alts to get each of them to be a high amount of specialization hero points to even begin playing what I did in beta? I mean, I understand we need to work for our awesome elite specs, but isn’t this a little intense? I do know that many of you have already got your elite specs, but on how many characters? Please god reduce this, or reward more for it on pve or wvw for the rewards to get points for it. So many people are freaking out about this, i’m just spreading what i’m hearing and my own opinion on it. The expansion which we paid for “for the specs” should not be GRINDY to get them.

Stay off the Koolaid, Koolaid, and work on a better title. ANet doesn’t need to FIX THIS!

:P

(I have 11 lvl80 characters)

I do think they actually need to fix this, because it is clearly broken or overpriced and some people who dont have much time to invest in the game because of real life and invested $$$ into HoT totally have the right to enjoy the elite specs a short amount of time after release.

I don’t get why people can’t voice their opinions whithout trying to speak for other people.

I don’t really care about the elite specs, I play guardian and mine blows. I bought HoT for the raids, so unless those are kitten, I’m good.

Voice your opinion. Don’t presume to know what everyone else wants.

I don’t think there is anything to be fixed. This is just one of the systems that is designed to give us more horizontal expansion and I think that it’s good the way it is. Once you train in a few masteries you start accruing hero points quite quickly. I have 9 characters as well, so I’m not speaking from a “just one main” stand point (although, this is still just my opinion). If you made it your goal I am assuming you could get your whole elite spec in a few days of playing, or a few weeks for a casual player. Since the game requires no monetary commitment outside of the initial purchase that seems reasonable and fair.

The entitlement is strong in this one.

You could set your watch to the timing of these threads.

LOVE the fact I gotta bit of work to do to unlock my specs (I’ll be maxing out 9) and that its gonna take some time. Gonna keep me entertained for ages. ????

You’re entertained by doing the same thing over and over? Isn’t that… a grind??? I thought Colin said Guild Wars 2 is a no-grind game.

The game feels like a chore now, navigating through the maps is annoying, a bunch of content gated behind that horrible mastery system that takes a lot of mindless boring griding to level up. Add to that the fact that they pretty much gutted dungeons and fractals and they didn’t add new ones in the expansion. I completely regret buying this expansion and I’m warning my friends to stay away until they decide to make changes to its current design.

Well I’ve got 18… so? You’ll get there eventually: to get 18 chars I played 3 years not 2 days…
