Sorry for this topic, but i really have bad feelings about new map and adventure… i really hope to misunderstood info we have, but i m really scared new map and content will be just a big farming zone… i have the sensation this game are running on farming way, just repeat over and over events (adventure?) for mats, gold and now achievement mastery and for legendary stuff…
Maybe i m an ‘old kind’ of player (or maybe the opposite) but i like to play harder istanced content with friends and have this kind of challeng mastering my profession ‘reaching’ the perfection, w/o play in a farm maps or do JP or minigame

I really hope to have something for ppl like me in this expansion, and not a big “farmingwaste” map

Thank you and sorry for my english

We do know that there will be masteries for fractals, so it is likely that there will be some new stuff in the fractals. They also said over and over again that they wanted to add challenging content, but we’ll have to wait and see on that front.

I think they are focusing on repeatable content… they will likely introduce more dungeons and maybe some raid instances (they do have a raid designer now), but they need to have something we can keep coming back to. It maximizes their time invested.

I also like the idea of repeatable adventures where you can measure yourself against others. The only PvE content that currently does that is dungeons, but there is no ingame system to record it.

Oh gosh another one of these threads, I’m getting so sick of these kinds of threads.

I’ll try to break down your post to give you a more concise answer in an attempt to alleviate your fears.

i have the sensation this game are running on farming way, just repeat over and over events (adventure?) for mats, gold and now achievement mastery and for legendary stuff…

I think this is stemming from when they mentioned the leader board system for adventures. To clarify, they were talking about potentially having each adventure come with it’s own ‘leader board’ the leader board will basically show whichever player has done that particular adventure the “best” that day, week, ect. And at the end of that day, the person who did the best on a particular adventure will get a small reward, like perhaps a few gold, or crafting materials. The reward is just there as a small incentive, and will be only given to the one player out of the many that did the best on that adventure for that day.

To reiterate – you will not be farming adventures for gold or materials, if you choose to use their leaderboard system, you’ll mainly ‘farm’ the adventures just to be “the best” at that particular adventure. If you are the best, you’ll get a small compensation.

As for the “legendary stuff” farm, legendaries are one of the few grindy parts of the game, you literally grind, for a skin and nothing more. Legendaries have always taken some work to get, but again, at the end of the day, they’re just. a. skin. You don’t have to farm them if you don’t want too.

Maybe i m an ‘old kind’ of player (or maybe the opposite) but i like to play harder istanced content with friends and have this kind of challeng mastering my profession ‘reaching’ the perfection, w/o play in a farm maps or do JP or minigame

Well we don’t have enough information to say if you’ll be getting instanced content with your friends. But.. we do know that they are working on challenging content! What specifically, again, can’t say, there simply isn’t enough information yet.

I’m relatively sure that there’s stuff for explorers. Think about it.

They said this is the updated version of Silverwastes and Drytop. There’s plenty of stuff to find and explore in those zones.

I don’t think OP is talking about exploring and finding lore and hidden things. Sounds like he wants dungeons and/or raids. I’m in the same boat. I really hope there’s at least one new boss that’s on par with Triple Trouble Wurm. My guild [Att] is chomping at the bit for some new challenging group content.
