Guild Wars 2

How about this, we all know that one event will land you 16k-25k EXP in Maguuma (20-30 mins at best), and that we have to complete a 1 MILLION EXPERIENCE requirement to level 1 LEVEL.

So, why not have a solution that each events would be 20% of your experience bar, regardless of level similar to WvWvW experience gains. Not only this would ACTUALLY motivate players to play the content and group up, it won’t feel like a kitten-kitten-kitten-y—chore, playing the same kitten events over and over.

This is my two cents, and I already have sent an email-via Youtube to ask Angry Joe for a review on Hearts of Thorn; if things doesn’t change, expect his 100% honest review; which will probably go from 10/10 to something less.

oh, and I’ll leave this here.

SHAMELESS BUMP

Please do fire control.

Not 20%, that’s too fast unless we’re talking the Legendary Mordrem Wyvern (which really should be that much, boy is a pain to kill). Everything else, 10%.

I believe 20% isn’t fast, it is at the right pace, considering that each events last for 10-20 minutes. And that each level only count towards 1 mastery.

Regardless of what the changed percentage is, it needs to be more than this 25k crap experience we’re getting. That ain’t enough for this.

BUMP AGAIN.

I need a developer to reply to this.

please read this topic.

I’m not sure I can think of a single 20-30 minute event that I’ve seen in the new zones… there are meta event chains that can last an hour, but those are made up of series of smaller events, which each award close to 20k experience. Over a 6 event chain, that’s 120k experience, a 9 event chain is 180k experience. Suddenly that’s not quite so bad.

And if you don’t like doing the events, just pop some of the myriad XP boosters you’ve undoubtedly been sticking in the bank and run off to kill random critters. Just turning on a Birthday Booster on my character is making normal enemies give me 2500 XP each if they’ve been sitting alive long enough to earn their bonus XP. If I actually went out and stacked the other XP boosters I have (hello, Killstreak booster!), that would go even higher. 5000 XP a kill equals an event completion after only four kills. All you have to do is find a quiet spot in the jungle (or Orr, for Tyria Masteries) and just run roughshod over things.

I hope you will understand what you suggest is exactly the definition of a grind.

Which is the opposite of what the manifesto states by our Game Designer, letme repost the link again in case you didn’t watch it.

Then don’t grind? Just play the game and you’ll get there in time.

If you’d rather take the time to play weasel words on the forum, it’s going to take you that much longer. And it won’t get you that dev response you seem so desperate for.

I’ll say this again, playing the game while doing the same hard events over and over for 20-30 mins for very low experience points IS NOT FUN.
