Guild Wars 2

I think we as a community needs to let go of the ‘must do everything’ concept. ANET is pouring on the content and is seems like half of us are complaining that it’s too much too fast. Too much content in an MMO – really??

Once we get past the ‘must do everything’ barrier, something cool happens – we do what’s fun (or at least profitable!). We can also live with the fact that there are things out there that are too hard for us.

I do feel for ya, OP – it she’s wiping the floor with me too!

My first thought on reading this was – you’ve got to be kidding, it’s raining these stupid things! Then I read your post and sort of agree. Not a big deal at all but ever since my D2 days I’ve enjoyed that “oh gold!” drop feeling and these are a bit of a let down. Again, really not stressing over it though..

You never know put personally I really doubt it. It seemed like Paragons were on ANETS list of top ten regrets. I’d love to see two-handed spears come out as ground weapons though (I know the old paras threw a one-hander).

Don’t let the righteous posters get you down, OP. If you haven’t played a game with that kind of term, it can be very confusing. Seems like it ought to have an “only may be worn” or something in red on the item description.

I don’t know. Limit the chests to your home server and EVERYONE from your own server is going to be showing up to the events during primetime hours. You’re going to end up making overflows anyway.

I think branding it an exploit is a little harsh, these are pretty basic game machanics we’re talking about. That’s not to say things don’t need to be tweaked.

My money’s on going to once per day per account. Tough on the altaholics, but it’d probably make the problem go away. It might also get everyone to do a broader range of events rather than blasting through the Fire Elemental on 5 alts.

I don’t think it will be a problem OP, they’ve commented that if anything the dailies will be MORE random than before, including some pretty specific stuff now. I think it’ll be fun, but I’m sure somebody will get bent out of shape over SOMEthing..

@dodgers – if I’m feeling lazy I just log onto my ranger and autoattack with my greatsword..

I think (hope) there’s a lot of pressure right now to do them because of the amulets. In a few months when we’ve gotten a character or two set up, hopefully it’ll be something you do if you feel like it but don’t feel like you’re missing out if you do something else instead.

I’m not going to change what I’m doing unless it’s really clear the other person is trying to get a daily done.

I’m hoping that most of these silly dailies are just place holders for more interesting things to come; some things that will bring us together in certian zones or events, guess we’ll see.

Our mesmer rocked on that one.. love those gates!

I enjoyed them a lot today – it was great to see some old areas and our pug did great!

I wasn’t expecting very much but wow.. they really should have stepped back in and done some expectation management on this one.

I’ve unintentionally followed a pattern over the years. My first character exploring through the content is always male and I view him as “me”. Other characters where I’m playing on TS with friends or PvP will generally be male as well because I see them as “me” also.

But once the game settles in, I invariably make a couple/few other toons. These are the ones that I’m going to spend hours with grinding gear and completing maps and content on. I generally view them as “not me”. This toon I’m guiding and watching over and making better. These are almost always female – I’m not going with waste all that time with trinkets for “me” and I’m certainly not going to waste it helping a male toon (he can find someone else to help him -lazy punk!).

9/10

Started off a little bumpy with the Black Lion Chests but other than that it was a lot of fun and so much to do. Blew away any holidy content I’ve seen in other games. Can’t wait to see what Wintersday is like.

I think a lot of people thought you needed the clock tower to get EotMK which led to needless angst.

It defeated me this year, but I still had fun with it. Blocking was a problem but it was funny failing with a crowd.
