With 2 week release, the QA department is probably a nightmare, so sadly this kind of thing is probably going to be a staple of the game from here on out.
Since the game has been out roughly 8.5 months.
8.5 × 30 days = 255 days
2500/255 = 9.8 hours every day since launch.
You sir need to go outside for a bit.
I did this with the launch of WOW. I averaged 14 hours a day for 4 months uninterrupted. I was so bad I stopped going to some of my college classes to play more WOW. Playing an MMO to this level is not healthy, physically or mentally, I do not recommend it, for anyone, ever…
Thanks for the suggestions everyone. We have setup a guild (first game we have both liked that let us make a two person guild) and I’m building the first bank tab there right now. I’m not really wanting to start a debate on the prices of the stuff in the store, just wanting peoples opinions from what they have bought and if they felt like the value was there. I had not planned on spending any money beyond buying the box, but the game is so great and I want to support it to make it better!
My wife and I are loving the game so I’m going to buy us both some gems. What is the best thing to get out of the store? We are both in the 40s with a main and will be playing alts like crazy. I’m thinking bank tabs for myself. Are keys worth it? We both have a bunch of locked chests. What was the first thing you ever bought with gems? Looking back, would you say it was worth it?
I can say after playing all 5 races up to 15, the doc howler fights were harder than all other fights. I attributed it to playing a Mesmer and still learning the class at the time.
Some fun ideas in here, we’re also actively discussing ways on how we’d best like to alleviate having to make players choose between having better stats, or using magic find. It’s not a choice that’s great for game play and there isn’t really anything that fun about it, even more so when group composition is taken into account. Ideally we’d also like to keep the ability to slowly build your magic find over time, but doing this at the cost of using better stats isn’t the right way to do that.
No ETA on any changes here, just want to point out we agree there is an issue here that goes against what we want Gw2 to be, and is something we want to address.
Get rid of magic find from gear. Give a magic find stat line next to your other stats, starts at 0 and is capped = to your level. 1 point is 1%. Buy 1 point with 1 skill point whenever you want. Add a couple achievements that can boost the cap. done and done…
If it was a TV show and only one episode a month came out, nobody would watch it… Love the content patches, there should be a way to go back and play the previous parts of the story.
