Guild Wars 2

Just wondering…

When the first update hit I’ve spent about 10 hours with the story and the new area. Second was a bit shorter for me. About 7 hours. I didn’t care much about the achievements and the new dry top features wasn’t so engaging – I just checked them out and ignored soon after that. Third was really disappointing… After very short story there was almost nothing to do. I’ve spent about 2-3 hours with that content.
It’s probably because I didn’t care much about the introduced rewards (weapons with bugs inside, kites and plants growing from my characters back does not fit my holy fire wielding guardian so well).

How was it for you?

I’m wondering because it bugs me that I’m spending a lot more time with content that is more then 2 years old.

It depends on how it’s broken down and what’s considered part of the LS or not.

For me, I usually finished the story portion of the LS is a matter of hours. After that, I usually spend the rest of my game day exploring around and looking up the new stuff they’ve added. Next couple of days or so, I’m usually trying to do the different achievements they have added, and anything after that is follow up.

The follow up part is usually what takes the longest for me and most people, and it’s where most of the gameplay hours goes towards. In regards to the first two LS of this season, the different recipes would be consider follow up to me, and I’ve been spending the last couple of days trying to find two more fossils to finish up all the weapons I want. The last LS’s follow up would be the scavenger hunt for the backpack item.

Just enough to finish the story + achievements…so about 2 days?! something like that. The rest of the game is to boring so i did other stuff.

I’m doing it on 5 different characters. Still haven’t finished. XD Mind you, I’m only spending an hour or so on it each night, and I also “waste time” by doing the individual events that make up each portion, as well as harvesting anything I see on my way there.

I’m up to the final portion where I’m gathering the Crown pieces though. I expect I’ll complete the chapter and get the achievements this weekend.

spent at least 10 hrs if not more

Haven’t done the story achievements until now. Aside from this, it takes maybe 2-3 hours of gameplay for a story update (I take my time and read all the conversations). Then a bit farming in Dry Top and and doing the Zone achievements a couple of hours. so about maybe 4-6 hours per update?

I’d guess, I’ve spent about 10 or so hours on the current LS. I’ve really enjoyed it and it keeps me coming back to the game.

After finishing the story last night (it’s been busy) I’ll be playing to get Geodes and Foxfire now for the recipe. I really appreciate being able to do so at my own pace.

Personally, I’m really enjoying season 2 and I’m looking forward to seeing what they do as they continue to refine and improve on the techniques they use.

I pluck away at the unbroken parts for a total of a few hours. Dry Top got some extra attention for exploration (vistas, coins, and sandstorm chests). I should go back to surf a sandstorm or twelve to get rid of those keys cluttering up my inventory.

Beyond achievements I’m less inclined to care about and the same generic chest loot.. I’m not seeing much of a need to go back.

But at least it’s there. Permanently. ..sorta. :P

im going to say roughly 6 to 8 hours on the first two 10 plus the third due to bugs mostly prob real time 6 hours third. now the time i spent on using lockpicks on chest too many i still got all mine from the story but yet i havent found chest enough to use them al

I have 12 toons, 10 of which are lvl 80. I run each one through the LS. But screw doing it again for the achievements.

Spent a coupe hours doing the first two stories and just unlocked the third. Haven’t worked for one achievement, as I don’t want to do the story twice on all my characters and am bored with the Achievement grind. I also don’t care for the Mario Bros area or the LS one or two.

Personally, I would have rather had expansions and more permanent content or at least bug fixes that are still here from 2 years ago.

Still kinda going through them, don’t have quite as much time for gaming nowadays. So the pace of these releases, as well as fact they’re now permanent content works really well for me. And I dare say many others in my position. Not everyone has time to burn through the content in the first day

I have spent 3h
