Personally I mainly want to go to Cantha and Elona, but judging by the fact that there is still a lot of Tyria the continent left to explore we wont get that for a while if it ever comes.
I am curious to know why so many people seem unhappy with Heart of Thorns saying it’s not a complete expansion. Also it seems like a lot of people want to go back to GW1 rather than GW2.
I’m no Arena Net employee but I’ll take a stab at your questions.
1.) I’ve never heard of a gold limit until you mentioned it but from what I looked up, it’s only a limit from gold through mail, so transferring gold from player to player. That’s not a limit of how much gold you can earn per week. That’s more of a limit for gold sellers.
2.) I’m pretty sure they addressed the Holy Trinity back in the development stages of GW2. They are fully aware of the holy trinity, but instead of copying and following the same line as everyone else, they innovated. As much as I liked being a chain healer in WoW, I enjoy the combat system of GW2 much more. This is really personal preference, as is people wanting to farm for gold, so if it’s something you don’t enjoy, then don’t play it.
3.)As for end game content; the whole of the expansion was end game content since it’s all level 80. They added raids which is nice, and since you mention weekly limit on raid rewards, that’s pretty much an industry standard. All mmorpgs that have raiding use weekly resets so people can’t get rewards too quickly. Now since in most other games that’s tied to progression, where as in GW2 it’s not, that could be something they could be convinced to change.
4.) Have you done raids and the highest tier fractals? I’ve personally only gotten ankle deep into fractals and haven’t yet done a raid, but unless you’re burning yourself out by trying to do everything in one week, those more difficult content options are good from what I hear. Also GW1 was, if anything, more casual than GW2 is. You could just run with henchment/heroes all the time. GW2 at least has dungeons/fractals/raids/world bosses and all manner of world events. It’s also a little shortsighted to say GW2 is only about dailies, especially if you’re wanting gold farming. In other games dailies are the gold farm. I personally have been playing the HoT storyline for the past week, enjoyed it a lot, and barely did my dailies. Also, no one’s making you do dailies.
5.) Silverwastes, Frostgorge Sound, Auric Basin. LOOK at these areas in GW2. See how people farm them?
Also, just to reiterate, not all people like farming because it’s usually doing the same thing over and over again which gets repetitive and boring. I enjoyed doing the underworld/FoW/etc in GW1 but I didn’t farm it, as in I didn’t run through it 5 times a day, every time I got on. If I had i’d probably gotten burnt out and not enjoyed it anymore.
Your five points aren’t baseless, but somethings like the holy trinity and endgame content, are really just the nature of the game and unless you want a complete redesign you just either need to live with it or move on.
I don’t see why people dislike HoT so much and call it an incomplete expansion or an unfinished product. By standards of big game titles like WoW, it meets everything except for bumping level cap up which I’m glad they didn’t because it matches their idea of static level cap in GW1 and doesn’t rely on a level and gear grind treadmill to keep players interest.
On top of all this, you have to remember that GW2 is buy-to-play with no sub options and an cash shop currency that is pruchasable with in-game gold.
Not to mention none of these were items you’d like to see in future expansions.
Same as Noctis. Still no mobs give credit, the event doesn’t work, and the only things that DO give credit, randomly vanish while you’re carrying them.
It’s nice to see we can get constant living story content, but not a simple fix on a minor quest.
Still bugged. Please fix.
I’ve never once seen either of these temples under Pact control.
I’d like to get the karma gear, but I don’t need +healing power, and the only place I can get armor without it, is at the two temples that are apparently too hard or too remote for people to do or care about. No one ever goes to take the temple of grenth and seemingly no matter how many people we have, we can’t kill the balthazar priest in time. Please make these easier, or at least not require so many people since apparently no one wants to do them anyway.
The melandru priest is just a time wait since, even though no one can stop him from healing, he eventually just stops and you can kill him anyway. I’ve also heard dwayna is laughably easy. Balance?
“Note however that diminishing returns is implemented into everything in GW2”
Really? So the more I loot something the less likely I’ll be to get it again? That obviously can’t be long term though right? I watched a youtube video of a guy farming and he said the longer a mob is alive the higher percent chance it has for a drop. Was he essentially saying the same thing, that drop rates have diminishing returns on them?
Nevertheless, I finally got SOME scraps last night, although it was like 20, from the some of the flame legion charr in the 50-60 zone i think it was. Not a great farming place, especially since half the waypoints are bugged and stuck on contested, but i at last gone some linen.
I’m trying to find a place to farm some linen scraps/bags with linen/etc. I know i got some while i leveled up but i cant find a good place to farm it. I’m also having trouble even getting any now. Does anyone know a good place to gather gather/farm this?
