Guild Wars 2

This two week content is getting to be too much, not just because it’s every two weeks but because its also mundane. Calling it a living story gets more ironic with each patch.I think you peeps at anet need to take a break yourselves to develop some engaging content instead of revamping older content or just ballooning the achievement points tab and throwing skins in the BLC, and you seem to do that with the best weapon skins to.

No one is forcing you to do living story content. You can simply ignore them and take a break yourself.

I’d like them to do every month instead of two weeks. I’d really like to be able to enjoy the content but just don’t have the time to dedicate to it and enjoy it. I’ve barely spent time doing the Halloween stuff (which isn’t finished yet) and already I’m staring at another batch of content that I may, or may not, be able to even get to.

Please slow down!

Do you realize that you’re asking Anet for less content?

Less quantity, more quality.

No, he is asking for more new content, not a copy/paste of skins in BLC, a little modded map, and some grinding for achi… This year’s halloween is one of the worst “expansion” ever done in gw2… and i had a high hope for this new patch.. but guess what? we got another set of weapons with a different glow (BLC), another map grind but no doors this time, this time we got “offshots” with same recylced mechanics, and? few achivement points.. they didn’t bother even to put a new title.. i did all the content ( besides the daily-forced one) in like 4 hours… really ANet needs to work 2 week on a 4 hour content?

that’s why we say, slow down a bit, maybe a patch every day, but give us something more, not less on every expansion you put out…

Take a month, or two, and give us a NEW MAP.. give us NEW DUNGEONS… give us NEW WEAPONS (not skins, i mean weapons.. halberds? crossbows? whips?) give us NEW SKILLS, NEW FRACTALS, GUILD HOMES, a TONS OF TOWN CLOTHES, something nice for our HOME ISTANCE like a HOME and TROPHIES to put into…

You deserve multiple +1’s.

My thoughts too Kedryn, there’s only so many times you can reskin an event before it gets really boring.

I logged in, did a cool little solo instance, got to the main zone, and to my surprise, no actually I wasn’t surprised at all, met by a giant champ chasing zerg train.

I’ve taken a 3 month break and its gona stay that way until the 2 week rubbish has gone and real content otherthen mini crap games is added.

Ahh I want a whip for my Asura Mesmer that lets me summon more clones with whips! WHIPS! I love whips!

If we didn’t have two week content, we would have twice as many threads complaining that they were not adding content fast enough.

Or there’s another option. What about taking a month or two and then release the patch which would solve at least the most severe bugs which are here since beta? Maybe then A-net would be able to actually balance the game around working skills/traits, not around glitches/exploits/wrongly working abilities.
That would make me happy and I’m sure I’m not alone with this opinion.

If they would work on permanent content every 1-2 months and give us a new zone, dungeon or a hard world boss then there would be no complaining as it would build up. Only people who would complain anyway are the ones who sit on their kitten playing GW2 all day and nothing else.

Sorry but i don’t agree… GW2 is the only game with this 2-times-a-month patch cycle, and we really did not ask for that.. we did ask for content… as we do in every mmorpg… ANet could have settled for 1 patch with new content every 1-2 months, and we would have been happy more than now… I know that good content needs works, works equal time, and we cant ask for good content every 2 weeks, but if you look behind, patches that brought something that is still in game are really rare… i mean karka, fractals, and few other thigs… all other work they did, is wasted in about 4-5 days, and disappear in 2-3 weeks. Anet.. please, do more content that we can enjoy for over the time we need to get all achievements.

besides this, i have to beg pardon for my english, and my mistakes in this and previous post…

Hard world boss? Like Tequatl? So after 2 month everyone will complain it is too hard, because all of the players who can manage to beat it stop showing up on every spawn to carry those who do not coordinate enough to do so, exactly like we have now? I see threads all over complaining about this.

What is a new zone going to do? I would wager you do not spend any amount of time in 50% of the zones we have now. Although to be fair, I am all for new zones myself.

You must mean “more” new dungeons. Because they have added some. I can agree, new dungeons would be very popular. But, I do not see any reason why they have to stop the current flow of content to do this. They have added dungeons and dungeon paths with the current flow. So I have no idea why you would ask for only one or the other.

Kedryn.2981:

Actually we did. Simply because you did not, doesn’t mean all of those massive pages of discussion threads in the living world with people asking for more do not exist. It often amazes me that poster seem to actually feel that their personal opinion represents the community when there are thousands of post suggesting other wise from other players. And this is what it appears you are doing in my opinion.

If you believe this, you are truly out of touch with the community entirely……..Who is this magically “we” you speak of that would be happy? Are you suggesting this would make me happy? Your suggesting all of the players that enjoy the living world would be happy? Are you suggesting all the players on all the other server would be happy?

I’ll agree with you that there story arcs can/should give players a full 30-60 days to complete but that doesn’t mean the updates should dwindle. how do you complete both? by having 1 story last over a month and let player play throu it all (from start to end) during that time period. kinda like how they have Halloween still going except i should apply to stories:

Example: (and this might be what there doing in TON)

• 2 weeks (into to new arch)
• 2 weeks ( conflict/antagonist shows)
• 2 weeks (resolution)
• 2 weeks(fluff/hints on next arch)

players can join in at any point of these 6 weeks and do the whole story. If you need more time than that, idk what to tell you

Gw2 doesn’t revolve around you. If you don’t have the time, that sucks but to demand less content cuz you cant keep up is as selfish as ppl demanding more. keep that in mind

Kingmutez.4931:

For the last few updates they have been leaving all the content in for 2 cycles, hitting that 30 days your suggesting. Once enough posters spoke up, they have extended the time to experience the content. So i feel we can back off of suggesting that since they have heard, and made changes based on feedback.

This man gets it. It’s why we changed from a 1 month thing (Frost and Flame) to a bunch of 2 week things. There were too many complaints that it was taking too long. Well guess what people, YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW.

You really missed the point by a large margin… Me and those who agree with me, don’t ask to slow down content because we cant keep up… no, the point is the exact opposite… 2-3 weeks content, now, is crunched, eated, dilaniated, eviscerated, in 2-3 days, and that is a waste… we ask for a month-long new content, like you said, that can’t obiouvlsy be made in 2-3 weeks by ANet authors, or else they would already have done that. They need more time to make better and longer content…

let me put simple

if they work 3 weeks for a 3 day content, maybe if they work 1 month or 2, the content would last a full month to be chewed…
if you like this 3 day copy-pasted-badly content, i’m sorry, but i dont.. i liked for few months.. now that is going to be the same every time, i don’t like it anymore.

If they leave halloween doors for 3 months, doesnt means that they event has a 90-day arc.. the event is consumed in 2-3 days… the labirinth was EMPTY like 3 days after the patch.. and the door grinding of last year’s halloween, that was fun, this year has been removed. I didn’t talk about how much time the content stay, i talk about in how much time the content is consumed.. that is misured in days, for those last months patches…

It’s really easy to juggle with how many here and how many there… the point is, that the living content started slowly, with maybe a couple of months to reaveal the entire ploth of one “event”, with investigations, a climax, and the reveal of the truth behind the events. The living world today is 30 day content that disappear after, released every 15 day, standalone, with a 3-4 days lifespan. This ISNT what we asked for… and yes, i say WE because as you already have read, someone agrees with me, so i can say WE instead of ME…

I can’t say that, but you can’t either… i know that my friends, my guild, and most of this thread posters agrees with me, that is enough for me to say WE…

Exactly. The difference is you presume to do so, and I do not.. But, unlike yourself, I learned a few facts before I post. I actually read other threads. Due to the fact that 10 times the amount of post and threads apposing your perspective here, I am going to have to go with the majority. And I am wise enough to know that just because one person agrees with me in one post, that I have no business speaking for them.

Yeah you are the wise, the sage, the i-know-all, and i feel really stupid to not agree with you at your first reply…

nah, i’m joking..
you are the kind of person that i feel is a waste of time and energy talking to.. i spoke about game things, that you can agree or not, but you focused about how many “supporter” i have, or what the supposed “mass” of players says… guess what, even if you say that “10 times” about posts, MOST of the gw2 players DONT even read those forum, so your statement about “majority” is at fault more than mine, as i limited my assertion to this thread only…

see you…. i’m off this thread and wont read/reply anymore
