Guild Wars 2

Kana.6793:

What on Earth? Firstly, please don’t try to speak for everyone. You say “All of us, myself included, have stopped playing our MMOs because we were sick and tired of “Vertical Progression”.” and “in the end everyone feels cheated and hateful towards their old MMOs” – this is not why I stopped playing my previous MMO and I don’t feel cheated or hateful towards it at all. I have a lot of good memories of fun times raiding with my friends and guild.

You should read better what he wrote, he was talking about him and his friends, not everybody around the world, i quote:

I and all of my freinds have played MMOs. Whether they were EVE, WoW, Runescape, SWOTR or some other game.

As for my opinion, as this moment i dont know what to think of this game, i have fun leveling my alts once in a while and also doing various things with my guild (pvp,pve,WvsW) but i’d like to think how this will go, i do like to get new stuff, really i do, but when it gets to grinding i will see it like i’m doing a chore, rather than having fun.
so no, right now i wouldnt recommend it, this needs to be cleared out first

i havent seen bot trains indeed…but i have seen something else
a player gathering a tree\node\herb then disappears, then appears near another to gather then disappears again and so on
I dunno if this is a bug, exploit, new hack or me becoming crazy…i’ve seen it more than once though.

I would do what you can to report these users.

I’m trying, but it’s really hard, they’re only visible long enough to do the gather animation and the times i saw i was only “wtf just happened here”, only able to identify a thief and a warrior doing this and in diferent areas.

i hope anet takes a look into this quick, or the economy will be affected again

The community is just reacting to the changes. What you describe is people loving freedom and variety playing less and less, and people obsessed with loot and power incresing their share in the game population.

The community behaving in a certain way is a reaction to bad design.

It’s up to the devs to encourage social behaviors and discourage pidgeon-holing.

yeah you’re right, they talk big but dont really deliver…the game is getting boring instead of more fun.

now that i think of it, i made a thread back when the new big patch was annonced, i was happy with the changes thinking i would have fun, but now i see, it’s the community that ruined it, everybody is just fractals and fractal level limits are starting to appear(if you’re level 2 it’s hard to get a party since everybody wants higher)….i want to do something else and i’m not able.

1- i come to the forums to check news, updates and stuff, some posts to see what’s changing and i barely play the game, i find myself playing enough to do the daily(not the pvp one) and close the game(this takes little over 1h)

2- after FotM came out i started playing much and much less, but when i really started playing less was a bit before halloween, i was bored of the content, halloween made me play a bit more, when it ended i didnt feel like playing much.´

3- the content…i dont know it’s fun but not long appealing, i get bored of it really fast i dont know if this is my own doing (getting bored with mmorpg’s in general) or the game going into a direction i dont like

this is awsome, i’m in love with it
will be looking on download\tutorial :P

this is the dumbest solution to the problem i’ve heard.
you would make more people unhappy than people happy if you remove the rewards.

After Halloween ended in GW2 i was a bit bored of it, i ended just doing the daily, lvling my alts a bit and called it a day.
About 3 days ago i went to try the free 10 day trial of WoW MoP( dropped shorty after cataclysm came out), i didnt even lasted 1h there, the gameplay just wasnt fun compared to GW2.
Yesterday i went back to SWTOR to try the new f2p option ( i was an old subscriber) it disgusted me with it’s limitations and lack of new content, the game is out for what, 9 months?and there’s barely anything new.

And now, today i checked path notes, just by seeing what they changed or will change i’m already happy, didnt even logged in today, and i know just by what they changed i will have a good time, on top of that there’s new content.

GW2 is going on a good path, keep at it, happy costumer here.

Yes, I do. That’s exactly why I, and a lot of other players here too, love GuildWars 1.

That’s the thing, i played GW1 alot too and loved it, but this isnt GW1, it changed and they said it would be diferent.

Not everybody is equal and I’m most certainly not saying that my way of playing the game is better than yours, but GW2 was advertised as a game where, just like GW1, you will never ever have to get new gear once you got your lvl 80 exotics. If this is about to change now I’d like to know so that I don’t waste anymore time and money on a game that is going to become something I can’t enjoy. I’m fine if they are going down this road, but if they do this is where we part company.

Neither am i, to each his own, but i dont remember them saying that, like Noxicon said since GW2 is a game more related to general mmorpgs gear and level progession these days, it’s only normal when they give new content it brings new gear\levels with it, making players who cant keep the pace obsolete.

I’m happy with this, but players who arent, since there isnt much they can do, maybe try to make guilds\communities that cap at certain level\gear\content or whatever.

I got 1 more question, but this one is for you.
Do you really wish for new content to be added (in this case dungeons and new area) and the rewards for completing and mastering it just be exotics with the same stats\diferent skins?
If you do, well that’s you but i really like to get rewarded decently and getting more exotics woudlnt give me a sense of accomplishment( and yes i’ve got tons of karma,crafting materials, gold and time wasted on exotics)

Like everybody said, that’s just a cinematic , as fantastic as it is (beeing cinematics SE top skill) making a boss fight equally as epic in a mmorpg is much harder (but then again WoW seems to do it just fine) and Gw2 just started, although that’s not really an excuse let’s hope they learn from this HUGE mistake (and many others) and make amends in future content

i’m seriously excited about this, new content is good and new stuff to do is always better, i was bored to death already just leveling alts and doing some pvp once in a while since dungeon gear isnt that appealing to me( not that much improvement in stats imo).
I do wish they fixed alot of stuff though, but i’m excited to hear i’ll get new things to do.

i dont want for them to make us OP, neither i want them to nerf other classes.
What i want is balance, i want to be able to make a build and be on the same league of other classes with the same type of build
This is what Anet said they would deliver with this game, while removing the holy trinity they give balanced classes, this is what i came here for, balance.

one costs a load of gold\mats to make, the other you need loads of luck :P

You deserve it, you deserve every appreciation you can get, i’ve been a necro since gw1 and always loved it and still do, but in GW2 i didnt quite understand how to make it usefull, even after reaching lvl80, reseting my traits so many times i still didnt get it right

you helped me big time with your tutorials, saw them all and now i got a clear vision of the game
You’re need to counter all the whinners and necro bashers out there
Please keep it up,
Thank you!
