Guild Wars 2

This is not a rant or a bashing of ANet in any way.

My friends and I have played GW2 since release and HoT has provided some great new stuff to mess with. Unfortunately even though it’s only been a little over a week, we’re getting to a point where we aren’t sure what to do. Not that there isn’t a ton to do in the game, but we’ve done most of what we like to do and aren’t sure if there’s anything we’re missing; hence the forum posts.

We’ve all done the new story-line and found it quite fun, but after doing the meta events for a few days (1 day per each map) it got boring and other than Dragon’s Stand and getting new characters their elite specs, I don’t see us coming back too often (maybe when raids come out, but don’t know how long that’ll be). None of the masteries gained there work outside of there, so it doesn’t feel like we’re earning much for our time.

PvP and WvW have never been a big thing of our group; sometimes we have the urge to do it, but that only happens a couple times a month if that, so it’s not really a reliable source of entertainment for us.

Fractals and Dungeons have been our biggest go-to and though Fractals have been overhauled, it doesn’t seem like there’s any incentive currently to try to get to the higher level of fractals. Dungeons outside of fractals seem to have been abandoned and though they’ve decided to focus on fractals, they did not add any new ones yet (which is okay, hopefully they will).

Legendary Precursor Crafting was something we were all looking forward to. None of us had the money to obtain a precursor nor did we want to really spend that much for a glorified ascended weapon, but the idea of collecting items through dungeons, quests to build your precursor seemed awesome. Unfortunately, it appears from what I’ve heard that it costs just as much to craft them as it does to buy them outright, which is kind of stupid. Opinions aside, we haven’t really pushed forward in that aspect much.

So we collectively decided to approach our brethren on the forums to see what other content we might be missing? We’re not burnt out, but we just aren’t sure what other things (other than farming/grinding for gold/mats) there is to do. We’ve done map completion outside of HoT and we want to find something to do that’s enjoyable and keeps us playing for a while longer

TL;DR, we’re not sure what to do next, so we’re asking for ideas;.

I reckon you should make it your guild mission to spend 2 weeks helping random HoT newbies earn enough XP for their glider. Get ’em through that first HoT barrier.

Just like pre-HoT, I’m working on my fractal backpiece and light set of ascended armor… which pretty much means getting my daily log-in rewards until I have enough laurels. But none of that is really HoT content, and if I didn’t have that, I’d probably be playing something else.
