Your game started exceptionally strong but as you know the game is having poblems holding players for a myriad of reasons.
Simply have developers write messages detailing what the short and long term goals are for the company. start updating the community every month, or two if you find writing a letter difficult.
Strange that you seem to think you are the person to dictate what is spoken about on this forum.
For myself, Beta #2 of GW2 was FAR FAR!! more fun than it is today. but the “wow generation” screamed loud an long an the game was nerfed in beta 3 to be so simple even a wow player can play it.
it is sad when my beta 2 necro could only fight 2 even con’s at once, today can fight 10 even cons at once. that is how much easier the game was made. I too miss the days of the MMO where self responsibility was king.
Hell levels were not some evil plot by the iluminarti or whatever conspiracy todays gamers call it. Nor were exp loss the end of the world, because it taught you to be smart, an learn how to play.
Not to mention durability loss an perma durability loss on gear was not so bad. it provided the crafting community with a proper economy. level loss was gotten used too very quickly an you became much better players because of it. When a weeks playtime is at risk of beign wiped out in 3-4 deaths ina r ow, you learn to play smart.
This is the problem today those things made MMO’s for a more mature playerbase, something that is drastically lacking today. Hell, even EvE Online is dumbing down their game to promote itself as a"friendly" game to the wow gen.
I was really hoping GW2 would stick to their guns an not make it so easy as it is.
Dumbing down Eve you say, how do you see that? Dust, supers, tracking titans, new heavy missile changes? None of that dumbs the game down, and not many wow fan boys can stand Eve online after they lose half their wallet in a BS loss.
If you mean CCP is creating DUST as a gateway game into Eve to add new blood, I’ll agree with you there.
Check out Eve Online, every other mmo is just hello kitty’s play time after you get used to space ships. I agree with you though, pvp has no significance if you lose nothing on death, it just adds to the mindless zergs.
End game is 20 minutes of spamming “2” in a turret Most exciting boss fight ever.
End game is what you make of it. If you want to spam “2”, great.
Sadly, it’s not. The final boss you literally have only one way to hit him and that’s to use a turret that only has three abilities: move left, fire, and move right. And the boss never moves so you only use fire. repeatedly. For 20 minutes.
Ya my whole team after killing the trash jumped on turrets and was like “Alright what’s next!!! nothing….. hmm maybe when he gets alittle lower… no… hmm wtf THIS is the epic battle i’ve spent 80 levels getting to?”
Hell I don’t want change, I want an evolution of the old model. To pull out the bad crap and keep the good. Why can’t you keep a pve set of armor that tiers up but you have a different one for WvW. They already show this rational partly with the pvp system.
No, no you’re not. The game doesn’t motivate you to do jack at 80 unless you like the WvW system. Well… that’s not fair, you can play dress up AFTER dumping dozens of hours trying to find a matching top for your skirt.
Honestly guys after reading the dev post “end game re imagined” they don’t sound like they have any intention of changing there model for game content.if that is true, than I’m concerned that they’re not interested with the communities opinion unless it bites there wallet.
Here Here!!!!
everyone who doesn’t think this game is perfect should be punched in the face and trolled into the ground, that’ll make this game better fo sho
than talk to the guy recruiting you in comms before you accept an invitation, get to know the guild.
I play Eve Online, a game where we do interviews and background checks on new players.
That system isn’t broken as it has yielded mmo’s that have been bringing in a constant stream of subs for years. (you may just want something that’s different from the traditional mold like I do)
He just needs something to work for that nets a reward he wants.
The only thing that seriously cracks me up is how the admins have been closing topics telling them to stay on topic when there is no other forum options to post stuff in.
Why do half the people who respond to these forums just trash the OP?
It’s a game, a product he paid and supported like you, now he just wants some things cleared up.
“blow through it”? He played the entire game, and parts of it several times if he farmed an entire set of armor already.
That’s doing basically everything that is out there
It’s not that they want it to be like WoW, they just want more stuff to do.
Can’t really fault them on it either, there are several disgruntled customers who feel the same.
watter is wrong all level 80 green gear is the same as other green, and blue is the same as blue, but yellow and than gold are above the others.
Once you hit your gold set though, well….. i hope you have other goals my friend
I’ve seen some pretty good looking human dungeon sets, that is what this game is all about, mixing and matching to figure out what makes you look good.
Think wow raid time, mixed with barbie doll dress up time.
This game has horizontal progression, so 4 days for 1 piece of “end game” gear for this guy isn’t bad at all.
Think of it as it will only take a few weeks to achieve his goal, that’s on par with raids.
but the same dev team from GW1 isn’t the same as this one.
things ARE different, as is such we can expect patches and expansions to be just as different as the first.
That’s because you don’t understand the business model, the game has a cash shop.
So they have to keep people playing to buy gems from it, so they can keep a steady flow of cash.
Saying you bought the game and it wasn’t good enough BUT you only paid once so it’s ok!
seriously? that’s your argument, how about we desire a game we enjoy that we paid for from the start, and that we will continue to pay for (gems and expansion)
You also assume that mistakes in a game can’t be learned from and thus improved on.
We all want the game to be better because we enjoy it. You simply think things are perfect as they are, I desire improvement, I desire more for my money.
and is that so wrong?
no the monthly fee was based on players feeling the game was worth 15 a month (or however much) it’s a value argument. This game has a point where you can feel like you beat the game so you will never want to play it again.
It’s just so odd for an MMORPG to have a static end game (or lack there of) it hurts there long term revenue stream if you consider they implemented a cash shop into the game.
Idk for a game with this sort of financial backing I would assume they have a very solid long term goal that I am simply unaware of, hopefully they make that evident soon.
Most exciting boss fight ever.
