Guild Wars 2

Silly me for being excited on yesterday update, we are back to square one! I hoped we would have stand our ground on LA invasion instead Scarlet got in there like a walk in park through a cinematic, the whole event of saving citizen is a zerg rush to farm bags needed to craft a silly backpiece which ascended version needs tons of materials and the whole thing about the poison timer is silly beyond belief since you basicly have to wait 10 minutes to be cleared to enter the city again and join the farmfest all over again.
There is no story, still have to check a lot of those npc outside LA but the few I tried didn’t have much to say, there is no need to help or do something specific to enter LA and in the whole event the feeling you get is that you don’t really care about saving the city, you go for mass murdering for bags!

As an hero don’t you feel to be an epic one doing this stuff? :facepalm:

Yesterday update rappresent perfectly everything I think its wrong in the LS.

There has been some great content. But there’s the problem. When friends ask me is the game worth getting. I tell them about the living story. Which is a good selling point. But the. When I tell them about the fact that if they got the game there and then. They would NEVER get to play that content. It’s gone! They seem less interested. After getting 5 friends to buy guild wars, guild wars 2 has attracted zero of my friends. After they all loved Guild Wars.

I my self have had fun. But the inability to play the content at your own pace has ment I’ve missed out on a lot of it. Not to mention the mass of bugs that keep being introduced.

But if I compair this with that we had by this point in Guild Wars life, we had a lot more. Not to mention a better story that you could follow.

A handful of good updates in a sea of mediocrity content updates, so little permanent content it could be counted on a single hand, terrible story lines, and poorly written characters so…

It’s not been a good year.

I cant lie. The constant updates have kept me logging in. In spite of my growing apathy towards the game itself. I guess that counts as a success.

I guess if I had to put it simply, I’m playing more than I probably would have under an expansion… but as a gamer I’m much less satisfied with the LS strategy so far.

I’ve given zero dollars to the company since the game purchase. I’d pay for expansions.

From that perspective, I think A-net is following a failure of a business model.

Time will tell.

This. Perhaps LS is building up to a forth coming expansion release. I’m not sure. But I would happily spend another $50 on a new campaign. Heck, if it included a new playable race or profession, I’d probably buy a character slot or two. But LS on it’s own isn’t inspiring me to open my wallet. At least not yet.
