Guild Wars 2

For a variety of reasons, I stopped playing often back in october, and had completely quit in november. Now the heavy work season as lifted, family time during the holidays is over, and I find myself with some free time.

I’m wondering if there’s any real reason to come back to GW2. I’ve already got my gear I want, dyed how I want. I’ve maxed my crafting, done my personal story, done all the dungeons. I have my legendaries.

Is there anything in the game, other than the once a month special events worth doing, or should I take my time and money elsewhere?

Take your time and money elsewhere. I’m moving to Neverwinter Online.

A place where winter isn’t coming?

shhh no one say anything, they’ll go away by themselves and then we can keep on partying

Ned Stark… Winter is.. never coming?

A power-gamer like you who, in just 2 months after luanch, already finished their legendary, has no place in Guild Wars 2.

It’s a game designed for people who want to, oh I dunno, ENJOY the game.

Go somewhere else, farmboy.

You made multiple ‘legendaries’ within 2 months?

You should come back and flood the market with legendaries (or mats) to reduce the prices for us!

Can i have your stuff?

This made my day. LOL. Rest in peace Ned.

As to OP, PVE wise, there’s a Living Story in the works and we have the prelude stirring as of the Jan.28 patch. It’s not that much YET, but if you’re into stories and such, it looks promising. And there are a couple changes here and there in some dungeons, some might please you while others are disheartening.

In PVP, 1round tourney is in play and being tested in Paids. Devs say they gonna say byebye to 8-team tourneys. No game changing balance tweaks yet, will be up in the next patch which will be really soon now that will make or break the PVP scene of this game.

As Time Glitch said, if you enjoy the game it’s worth to come back. If not, there’s no point.

No

Nope. Been back in WoW since November. Keep checking in on the forums incase they ever revert the game. We’ll see about never winter or the other games coming out. Still looking for a low grind horizontal progression game.

I’m not really a powergamer. In the first bit of the game though, dungeon runs gave full rewards without the need to kill most bosses, and took teams between 15 and 20 minutes. To put that in to perspective, think if in two hours, you could get the same dungeon rewards it takes 8 days to get now. You didn’t need to farm for ever either, as drop rates were significantly better before all the anti-farming DR. WvW at the start was fast paced, one day matches, in which you could easily get a lot of badges. Every zone was well populated too, which made gathering, crafting, karma and exploration really easy. I was also never afraid to spend $10 on some gems. I’d buy gems almost daily. Costs the same as a pack of smokes, really.

Edit: Just to be clear, when I said “take my time and money elsewhere”, I wasn’t talking about any other game. There’s a lot of other things out there, after all, and after an extended break from gaming, I can’t really see any reason to go to any other. It’s GW2 or nothing for me.

Your friends and guildmates maybe?

Guildies and friends are the same thing really. There’s about a dozen of us, but we all quit at about the same time. We’re all waiting for something to happen to come back, or we’ll do something else this year. Maybe a hockey team…

I don’t feel like convincing someone to come back. Go in, try it, and if you don’t like it, leave.

TIP: Find and play with a guild/community. Meeting and playing with other people than the regulars is great.

Also,

Fun is relative.

Either you find it fun, or you don’t. Trying to make other people convince you wont help. Nobody likes to play when it’s forced.

Maybe when the expansions get here then.

About halfway down that page, Colin Johanson says payed expansions are definately coming, so that’s probably the big change with big new content I can look forward to. Like Nightfall all over again.

im just waiting tell i can get another MMO this one is getting crappy fast. its like the full history of WOW’s BS in 6months. oh wait same nerds made it….

Might as well try and give this a serious answer.

No.

You listed off your achievements as like a completed to-do list and that’s totally fine, but ultimately, you’ve achieved most of the game-set goals. You could come back and push for the best ascended items and infusions, but in the end, I think you’d just end up looking towards the next thing rather than focusing on the actual content.

Guild Wars 2 is centred around the idea of playing, primarily, for the sake of it. Most of the monthly patches have been about fun and frivolity. There have been some special unique skins and items to pick up for each of them, but ultimately they’ve not been on the level of Legendaries, which have now shot up in price. Now, there are players who only jump back into the game once a month, for those big patches. That’s fine. GW2 has been designed to be friendly towards those people, as its not a sub game and doesn’t require people to play continually. Remember, you own GW2 forever now. There is no pressure to play now .

Still, if MMOs really are about completion to you, then there are games out there which will keep you engaged for longer. Including the ‘old faithful’ WoW, and a plethora of Korean games. I’d also advise you keep watch on the reboot of FFXIV. FFXI was packed with grind, farming and long-term goals. Sub-fee games tend to have more of them, as they need to keep you playing. Again, that’s not a criticism. Different strokes and all that.
