This is just …. No words. Anet you failed again the way I see it. WvW is the only thing that keeps me in this game, you dont give a kitten about WvWers… and now this happens.
I have skill lag atm. Even chat laggs for few seconds sometimes….
I tried to ping www.guildwars2.com and I got like 200ms. Other websites were fine. So I guess Anet servers are having some issues atm. Normally I have like 40ms.
Personally, from what I had seen playing this game since beta I dont expect much. I played and still play alot of MMOs and the updates in gw2 compared to other MMO updates are really small. I dont know whats going on with this GW2 team, not going to judge anyone, but how the hell did GW1 team make so much awesome updates and expansions in such a short time with only around 50 people working on that??
For me a huge feature update would be a new map with new things, improved events or smth, new skills, new dungeons + armor sets and weapons ( NOT FROM GEM STORE!!) and bug fixing.
But for Anet, replacing 1 deungeon path is a really huge update xD So yeah, I cant expect that ^^
Man, I respect the time you took to put this together, but I disagree with pretty much every suggestion you make.
I’m glad the current Living World content is not about dragons. I can’t think of a more boring MMO cliche than dragon-slaying. It’s done. I’m glad the setting has enough diversity of life and lore that we can engage other, more interesting, conflicts.
Yeah, there is some meta conflict between Personal Story and Living World, but the problem is the PS, not the LW. Living World is a great concept that deserves to stay and become the focus of the game moving forward. Personal Story was a neat idea that was poorly implemented and needs to accept the back seat for the duration of the ride. Personal story should never have been about slaying Zhaitan. That was short-sighted.
PS should have limited it’s scope to the area where the character starts their journey, with perhaps some brief forays out into the wider world. The Human PS should have been about Queen Jenna’s tenuous grasp of power in Divinity’s Reach. The Sylvari PS should have been about dealing with the Nightmare Court and Caithe’s ties to their leadership. The Norn PS should have been about… Norn stuff… ale or something… That way PS could have developed the NPCs and lore of the respective races and left Zhaitan for the first “dragon campaign” to kick off the start of the Living World content. That’s the fix it needs. That’s the fix that works.
What we do not need is any scheme that tries to cram the Living World into the Personal Story so that you can play all the content whenever you get around to it. That is not a Living World.
If you are terribly worried about the conflict between Personal Story and Living World, then focus on fixing Personal Story so that Living World can continue to be the amazing and unique experience that it is.
So, whats so awesomke about current LS?? Please tell me becouse I have a hard time having fun with this crappy LS atm. Its boring, made for 10 year old children.
I think that new skills and traits wont be comming anytime soon. Or in skill packs.
I feel kinda trolled with this new healing skill… Anet, will you release 1 new skill per 2 weeks now? Becouse that sucks…
Like Anet said, they dont want to break balance between classes so yeah, I think we can expect few skills per year.
In my opinion Anet should just finish with this Living Story and start working on expansion.
I have read somewhere, that Anet will do something about Cantha if people show enough interest. I guess we showed them alot of interest for expansion.
But. If that something is only new playable race ( Tengu most likely) and a little bit of story how they came to Tyria, I and many others will be disapointed.
Imo the game needs an expansion. Dont get me wrong. Living story is cool but it gets boring. Grinding achievements for a backpack and few new features. Nothing groundbreaking. Maybe Anet is afraid of putting smth huge into game?
Like that TA new path. I thought all dungeons will get a huge remake. Or they will add a new dungeon or atleast new path . But no, they replaced an existing path.
Little bit off topic there but still. Little changes wont help the game imo.
For me, when we got him down first time it was awesome. I didnt get anything except 1g and few greens. After few more Taco deaths it becomes boring and not rewarding. So yeah, if arenanet gives us more rewards for this it would be awesome. But reward wise this just FAILS. Not worth the effort at all
I have succesfuly done it 2 times. And I love it. Will do it everyday if possible. I like challenging content that takes some preparation. And if you think it through , Taco isnt that hard as some people say. Keep up good work anet! ( just fix this overflow stuff )
I enjoy GW2 more and more. It is improving alot.
But I think that GW2 lacks some challenging content. Like dungeons that actually take alot of orientation + skill and you get a NON RNG reward for it or raid bosses ( I am soo happy that Taco is getting a remake ). Or they should do some kind of remake with GW1 UW/ FoW where mobs drop Ectos and t6 mats ( without too much of RNG).
Imo GW2 will eventually get there.
Just dont cry about grind …. Every MMO has it. W/o grind MMO lacks smth.
Or make it drop tokens which are guild ( or alliance, when alliance system comes) bound. This way, guilds will get more value and for example officers/members should vote who will get tokens in the guild. This would add a competition between guilds in PvE and being in a guild would really mean something. Not like now, when most of people dont really care who they represent .
Okay, i am farming Kite Fortunes. Get like 5 per day. Yeah 5. And when I open them I get only like 1-4 fortune scraps… Is that normal? Becouse I really dont enjoy doing this grind.
Please arena net anwser with some drop rate or so
There are people who would complain that they come back and there’s a ton of content that is overwhelming.
They may also complain that the new content that was added months ago while they were away is now empty and there is nobody who will play it with them. (Sort of like going to Southsun outside of a relevant LS update.)
It should also be understood that the Living Story is a content delivery method and philosophy, not just a single feature that "has taken over the game’. The “Living World” may end up being an unfortunate choice of words by PR. What Living Story/World means is that patches will follow a story rather than just appear.
This doesn’t mean I am against there being more permanent content. I am all for that. I believe everyone, including ANet, sees the current ratio of temporary to permanent content as unsatisfactory.
You dont get it at all. This content was temorary , thats why there are no people there . You cant get anything there anymore. Thats why noone plays it. Temporary
If there is temporary content every 2 weeks, how much endgame will this game have?
If you can play every countent for few days/weeks and than its over that means you only get +1 endgame thing to do every 2 weeks. And if you miss like 3 living stories. AGAIN you have only 1 living story you can do, instead of having all 4 and endgame content is much higher now… I am afraid that Anet wants players to spend real money to get things.
I startted playing again few days ago and getting bored fast. No new content at all. I missed 2 living stories, cant do them now. Really whats the point of doing temorary content and than delete it.
Overall game was awesome in leveling stage. But I think this game has worst endgame than MMO can have.
So please Anet, if you really care about players ( like you always say ) make some major changes to endgame.
Still , you’re…. come on! Your time! !
