I can’t say that, but you can’t either… i know that my friends, my guild, and most of this thread posters agrees with me, that is enough for me to say WE…

Exactly. The difference is you presume to do so, and I do not.. But, unlike yourself, I learned a few facts before I post. I actually read other threads. Due to the fact that 10 times the amount of post and threads apposing your perspective here, I am going to have to go with the majority. And I am wise enough to know that just because one person agrees with me in one post, that I have no business speaking for them.

Yeah you are the wise, the sage, the i-know-all, and i feel really stupid to not agree with you at your first reply…

nah, i’m joking..
you are the kind of person that i feel is a waste of time and energy talking to.. i spoke about game things, that you can agree or not, but you focused about how many “supporter” i have, or what the supposed “mass” of players says… guess what, even if you say that “10 times” about posts, MOST of the gw2 players DONT even read those forum, so your statement about “majority” is at fault more than mine, as i limited my assertion to this thread only…

see you…. i’m off this thread and wont read/reply anymore

Sorry but i don’t agree… GW2 is the only game with this 2-times-a-month patch cycle, and we really did not ask for that..

Actually we did. Simply because you did not, doesn’t mean all of those massive pages of discussion threads in the living world with people asking for more do not exist. It often amazes me that poster seem to actually feel that their personal opinion represents the community when there are thousands of post suggesting other wise from other players. And this is what it appears you are doing in my opinion.

It’s really easy to juggle with how many here and how many there… the point is, that the living content started slowly, with maybe a couple of months to reaveal the entire ploth of one “event”, with investigations, a climax, and the reveal of the truth behind the events. The living world today is 30 day content that disappear after, released every 15 day, standalone, with a 3-4 days lifespan. This ISNT what we asked for… and yes, i say WE because as you already have read, someone agrees with me, so i can say WE instead of ME…

ANet could have settled for 1 patch with new content every 1-2 months, and we would have been happy more than now…

If you believe this, you are truly out of touch with the community entirely……..Who is this magically “we” you speak of that would be happy? Are you suggesting this would make me happy? Your suggesting all of the players that enjoy the living world would be happy? Are you suggesting all the players on all the other server would be happy?

I can’t say that, but you can’t either… i know that my friends, my guild, and most of this thread posters agrees with me, that is enough for me to say WE…

I’ll agree with you that there story arcs can/should give players a full 30-60 days

For the last few updates they have been leaving all the content in for 2 cycles, hitting that 30 days your suggesting. Once enough posters spoke up, they have extended the time to experience the content. So i feel we can back off of suggesting that since they have heard, and made changes based on feedback.

If they leave halloween doors for 3 months, doesnt means that they event has a 90-day arc.. the event is consumed in 2-3 days… the labirinth was EMPTY like 3 days after the patch.. and the door grinding of last year’s halloween, that was fun, this year has been removed. I didn’t talk about how much time the content stay, i talk about in how much time the content is consumed.. that is misured in days, for those last months patches…

Kingmutez.4931:

I’ll agree with you that there story arcs can/should give players a full 30-60 days to complete but that doesn’t mean the updates should dwindle. how do you complete both? by having 1 story last over a month and let player play throu it all (from start to end) during that time period. kinda like how they have Halloween still going except i should apply to stories:

Example: (and this might be what there doing in TON)

• 2 weeks (into to new arch)
• 2 weeks ( conflict/antagonist shows)
• 2 weeks (resolution)
• 2 weeks(fluff/hints on next arch)

players can join in at any point of these 6 weeks and do the whole story. If you need more time than that, idk what to tell you

Gw2 doesn’t revolve around you. If you don’t have the time, that sucks but to demand less content cuz you cant keep up is as selfish as ppl demanding more. keep that in mind

You really missed the point by a large margin… Me and those who agree with me, don’t ask to slow down content because we cant keep up… no, the point is the exact opposite… 2-3 weeks content, now, is crunched, eated, dilaniated, eviscerated, in 2-3 days, and that is a waste… we ask for a month-long new content, like you said, that can’t obiouvlsy be made in 2-3 weeks by ANet authors, or else they would already have done that. They need more time to make better and longer content…

let me put simple

if they work 3 weeks for a 3 day content, maybe if they work 1 month or 2, the content would last a full month to be chewed…
if you like this 3 day copy-pasted-badly content, i’m sorry, but i dont.. i liked for few months.. now that is going to be the same every time, i don’t like it anymore.

coglin.1867:

If we didn’t have two week content, we would have twice as many threads complaining that they were not adding content fast enough.

Sorry but i don’t agree… GW2 is the only game with this 2-times-a-month patch cycle, and we really did not ask for that.. we did ask for content… as we do in every mmorpg… ANet could have settled for 1 patch with new content every 1-2 months, and we would have been happy more than now… I know that good content needs works, works equal time, and we cant ask for good content every 2 weeks, but if you look behind, patches that brought something that is still in game are really rare… i mean karka, fractals, and few other thigs… all other work they did, is wasted in about 4-5 days, and disappear in 2-3 weeks. Anet.. please, do more content that we can enjoy for over the time we need to get all achievements.

besides this, i have to beg pardon for my english, and my mistakes in this and previous post…

No, he is asking for more new content, not a copy/paste of skins in BLC, a little modded map, and some grinding for achi… This year’s halloween is one of the worst “expansion” ever done in gw2… and i had a high hope for this new patch.. but guess what? we got another set of weapons with a different glow (BLC), another map grind but no doors this time, this time we got “offshots” with same recylced mechanics, and? few achivement points.. they didn’t bother even to put a new title.. i did all the content ( besides the daily-forced one) in like 4 hours… really ANet needs to work 2 week on a 4 hour content?

that’s why we say, slow down a bit, maybe a patch every day, but give us something more, not less on every expansion you put out…

Take a month, or two, and give us a NEW MAP.. give us NEW DUNGEONS… give us NEW WEAPONS (not skins, i mean weapons.. halberds? crossbows? whips?) give us NEW SKILLS, NEW FRACTALS, GUILD HOMES, a TONS OF TOWN CLOTHES, something nice for our HOME ISTANCE like a HOME and TROPHIES to put into…

i can confirm that i tried more than 20 times smashing my guardian face on every angle of the clock tower window, then i switched to my elementalist, and he got in at FIRST try….

I saw on Dulfy that the 3 weapon Gift of *, needs 10 Corn Cobs and 100 of one of the other (i.e. 100 Gibbering Skulls). That means 10.000 Corns and 100.000 chattering skulls… it’s plain stupid… it’s nearly impossible to get 1k chattering skulls alone… but 100k ???

so, who would play a game where 3 on 5 is a secure loss, 1/5 is a marginal earn (10s) and only 1/5 is some earning (90s).
statistically is a secure and huge loss

what most of you are realli missing is that even if you manage to get 100k candies, you can sell them for, if the price is 3c (now is 4 times higher), 30 gold.

the skin is priced 25 now, and is dropping fast.. imagine how much it would be after one month of ppl farming… 5g? less? so why waste 30-60 gold to buy a 5g skin? sell candies as soon as you get them, and buy the skin later…

if you do it now for example, candies are 12c.. you will get at least 60-80 gold selling 100k of them…

selling at 25g now (wings). Even if you sell 100k candies at 10copper , you can make 100g and buy 4 wings… and wings are going to drop in price in 1 month of event.. so why the hell one sane of mind would evere try to ammass 100k of candies? better selling them as soon as you get them and buy the winfs on TP

after doing the “So Lifelike” achievement, does it make any sense to keep doing the holo farming? if everything drop from chests, isn’t more productive going to farm normal monsters than race for holos?

dhmy.7803:

does fractal daily chests pop again for your alts? (diff character, assuming u done it once on main)

No.

Yes they do

First, i would like to have what was promised before the game started, like:

-) Guesting system
-) No WvW for server changers for a couple of weeks

then, some aspects of the game are only “present” but not doing so much, and needs developing, like:

-) what about charisma-dignity-ferocity? do they really do something to the game mechanic, besides a different line of text when selected?
-) town clothes… any clotes besides the few (really few) on Black Trading? Why we can make big exotic magical armor and weapon, and cant build a simple skirt to dress with? Let us craft some, or at least let use armor skin on white items and use them as town clothes without any bonuses
-) some more uses for Karka territory, besides the Rich Orichalcum Ore ? The Karka Shell is a joke compared to the time you need to buy one…

And some new things, like:

-) a way to store Builds and Items worn without having to use pen&paper every time you wanna try something different
-) a LFG system that works? its full of MMO with working ones… at least copy one of them…
-) a way to EXTRACT a skin from an object and keep it (like tixx weapon skins)

more to come

Also because, besides hard core farmers, gold buyers, or no-life gamers, or cheaters, there is no way someone would ammass and “waste” 119 gold for a full set, or over 600g for the achievement. I play nearly every day, for many hours, not farming but doing many things, and i have 19g….

it’s cheaper to make a legendary than to make the fashion achievement…

I did it solo too.. not naked (died few times) but it took me nearly 40 minutes to kill him, and guess what? i forgot to loot the chest…

Why whiners have to whine all the time, for everything they can?

I don’t play on holidays, because i have a family that needs me… but i don’t while like you all do for everything… you whine for ANET doing something, AND for not doing the same thing… for skins to be rare AND to be more accessible… and so on…
oh, i have a friend who opened 20000 chests and got no skin…
