HoT content is good, though not as huge as it should have been.
There’s raids if you are into that.
A few new legendaries.
Fractals are a lot better.
Spvp is generally better (imo).
Living world continues with new maps. (new episode in a week or so)
WvW is… eh… kinda dead from what I can tell. Certainly not where it used to be.
In future:
Probably another 4 living world episodes before next expansion.
Next expansion probably not till next year.
Generally expect a new living world episode every 2-3 months.
Generally expect a new raid wing… maybe… every 3 or so months.
No clue if they even care about breathing life back in WvW.
Expect a new Spvp map every once in a blue moon.
Expect them to continue pretending esports will be a thing one day.
Conclusions:
I think the next expansion will decide the future of this game. It’s very critical to make up for the shortcomings of HoT. The content was good but there just wasn’t enough of it and a LOT of missed opportunities in the story. We only got 3 real maps and people were expecting a lot more than that. If the next expansion doesn’t go above and beyond then I expect a lot of people will be leaving.
I worries me that these forums seem way less active than they used to be. The front page used to cycle through topics in less than an hour. Now I can post a new topic and get no replies and it will still be on the front page two days later. There are threads on the front page of class forums that are more than a week old and you can’t reply to them without checking the bypass bump box.
A lot of people say the game is great, and maybe it is. But the audience is definitely shrinking…
I think GW2 is at it’s best when it’s really challenging, it’s really easy for me to have a cycle of the same things that i do everytime i log-in, the next expansion has a lot to live up to if GW2 will survive in the long run. I hope the next expansion delivers because the story for HoT was not very gripping for me, more purpose needs to be felt in the story i think, if i’m going to continue playing instead of going through the motions.
So far i LOVE!!!! the FPS mode… but, you guys need to have the option to view your weapons in FPS mode, that would make the PVE experience SO AWESOME!!! I’m begging you Devs, please make the weapons visible in FPS mode
ok, so i’ve gone to many places of power that i’ve never used to make quartz crystals and they all give the same answer “you’ve used all of this places power” or something like that, i only used once and i can’t do it again, what am i doing wrong here?
i’ve not played the living story of lion arch being destroyed and i don’t know where everything is (like the mystic forge) and so on can anyone tell me where there are other altrnatives
turns out that my firewall was not turned on so i have turned it back on and tried to repair it… now i just have to wait til’ it is done and se if it works this time
it starts always with saying it is downloading, it says 10MB you have to download or something but before it goes to say how many (‘cus it counts up to the final number) when it’s done counting the files it has to download, the download-speed indecator goes down to zero and then freezes and crashes i have tried adding the -repair and updating my drivers but it’s not working.
