Personal story. Meaning personal. Meaning MY story. Why do I then have to group with FOUR other people to complete MY story?
This aspect of the game has massively disappointed me since I came across it the other week. I don’t even want to bother with the personal stories of my other characters now, knowing I’m unlikely to be able to complete it without help, frustrating PUGs, or joining a different guild. As I’m not into dungeons (in fact I absolutely hate them and am sad they were even introduced into GW at all), I can’t see me ever fully completing a game that I otherwise adore
Please, give us loners, dungeon dislikers, and PUG haters a chance. Give as a afew henchies for the story mode dungeon?
To be honest I’ve never considered the Guild Wars brand to be bogged down by such outdated MMO concepts as ‘endgame’ content.
Guild Wars was never about rushing to level up and then raiding, and giving up hours of your life in the same 2 dungeons, over and over, in the hope you might get that one piece of armor that will make you feel better than other players. I don’t see the point in that concept either – it seems terribly boring to me and I’m actually dissapointed they have caved and given us dungeons in GW2. When I played WoW I avoided raiding and dungeons like the plague as I couldn’t think of anything more dull, yet I still had fun in the game. I was still able to do well in PvP, and travel the world doing all I needed and wanted to do without those bits of armor that were supposed to be what I was aiming for /shrugs
My idea of ‘endgame’ in Guild Wars is completing every single little thing I can complete on one character (story, exploring, skills unlocks, pretty armor skins, crafting, etc) …then starting a NEW character so I can experience it all again with a different class – and now also with a different race.
I think the problem is that a lot of players have come to this game with the idea that it will be a clone of the other MMOs out there. This game is NOT those games – it’s concepts and ideals are different. If you buy the game hoping for ‘endgame’ that consists of a WoW clone …then you probably will be disappointed if you can’t adapt to/enjoy the Guild Wars concept.
Personally, I love Guild Wars and I love this game. Neither game are perfect, but there is plenty enough content for me to enjoy it for a very long time – without rushing one character to 80 then sitting on my thumbs and whining that it’s not like every other MMO out there.
Just my opinion though
