Many mmos dies, but not this one and it has almost no endgame content, i dont get it
it’s because MMO player base is aging. We don’t have the time to do excessive raids and endless gear progression. That’s why both horizontal (cosmetic) progression MMOs and sandbox MMOs are picknig up.
Except GW2 isn’t a sandbox MMO. But you’re not completely wrong though.
I think there are 3 types of people drawn to GW2:
1. The casual players who just want to have fun with their friends by doing a casual dungeon runs or other casual activities (which this game has a decent amount of) without having to worry about BiS gear or learning strategies for difficult encounters.
2. The special snowflakes who get their satisfaction out of looking prettier or more unique than others rather than being better or more skilled than others.
3. The competitive players who like GW2’s PvP or GW2’s unique game-mode called World versus World.
I personally fall under category 3.
kitten , you’re a pretty tough guy.
I prefer to play dress up and pretend I’m the prettiest princess <3
Today I saw an engineer shoot at another player with a pistol. I am highly offended and my butt is hurt.
I think you are being insensitive. Obviously Anet had this planned for months and didn’t mean anything by it, but clearly you don’t understand that people have lost their friends and families in plane crashes (recently) and seeing this in game “joke” might take offence.
A plane crashed on the other side of the globe. Sorry, it doesn’t effect me in the least… and a character running around like a plane in a video game is completely unrelated. People need to put on their bigboy panties and sack up.
Insensitive
“showing or feeling no concern for others’ feelings.”
I have no more to say.
Are you sensitive to the plight of the people in Africa? or the people in the middle east ? or the people in Asia ? Am sure there are many ingame references to the tragedies happening there too!
The point is, there are no in game jokes about this kind of thing. I am not standing up for anything, I just think it is wrong to insult those that have just gone through a tragedy and might not be in a correct state of mind at the moment.
kitten , I didn’t realize that 1930’s sepia filter and period dress was an insult/reference to current events.
Yeah I agree it’s pretty insensitive that they put SAB minis back into the black lion chests then we get the airplane pose. Rude, Anet.
Oh wait, you’re not talking about that, you’re being a politically correct tumblr cretin on a SJW crusade. Face, meet palm. Crap, I bet clapping noises trigger you people too.
I totally understand both ends of the argument, one end being the whole paywall feeling, and the other end that the product is actually worth the paywall
here are my two cent’s I hope to god it isnt just a big living world update, but at the same time you have to understand that this game isnt subscription based, besides the expansion, before and after you will be paying NOTHING, big deal if you have to buy the expansion, mmo’s have been doing that for years, WoW makes their subscribers pay for their expansions, why wouldnt Anet? in the end were lucky we arent paying a subscription, just be happy we are even getting anything at all
ungrateful kids
^This.
If you’re complaining about buying the expansion. Remember
You could have been spending 15$ monthly.
Be grateful we are even getting new content to play.
Yep and like I said earlier WoW usually has a content gap of 12 months between their last update and their expansion… 12 months of paying a sub for no new content.
The river of tears from the ultra-entitled GW2 community is astounding in comparison.
Lmao, you people complaining about the lack of content between the end of Season 2 and Heart of Thorns clearly have forgotten how poorly paced other MMORPGS like World of Warcraft are when it comes time for the pre-expansion period.
Icecrown Citadel was ‘current content’ for a year, excluding the ruby sanctum mini-raid. More recently, Siege of Orgrimmar lasted OVER A YEAR. Thats 13 months with NO content in a paid subscription game.
GW2 Living Story -> Heart of Thorns content gap is literally nothing compared to that.
Are you absolutely certain this expansion will be released early enough not to beat this number of 13 months? Last time I checked it was “when it’s ready”, not “much earlier than feb 2016”.
The difference is that GW2 does not have a subscription. World of Warcraft does. 13 months with no update in a subscription based game (the gaps between final raid tiers/expansions) is UNACCEPTABLE. In a game like Guild Wars 2, it’s not a big deal.

Thieves will have the rifle so i think lot of rangers will change to the new sniper thing. 100% less pet, 300% more invisibility. I already have the books to lvl up a thief
If this is true then Rangers will become utterly useless in all situations. Sad, sad day. I might have to stock up on skill books myself.
^ Great post illustrating everything that is wrong with Rangers in GW2. I am dreading being stuck with the pet when it comes time to spec Druid, and the sheer boredom of the longbow is just sad.
I think its well past time I rolled a class that wasn’t saddled with terrible mechanics but I hate the thought of grinding another character to 80.
Ive been holding on to 20k black lion chests that I bought when they were so cheap. I think I’ll wait until the market stabilizes a bit before unloading them.
