Guild Wars 2

Moment of release is long gone so better to wait til it’s on sale don’t be full of regret like so many other suckers like myself who bought a 1/4 expansion

If I was you I would wait til it’s on sale for $10 or $20 hot was a massive disappointment for me, if you lik a lot of grind and no loot with no new armour than buy hot. Also be prepared for no new content til the next expansion, Because let’s be honest it’s been how many months since hot was released and still no living story 3. But don’t worry I’m sure it’ll be here promoted with the next expansion along with legendary weapons……..

People are always asking is hot worth the price tag but that’s really the wrong question, weather it’s expensive or cheap is irrelevant as long as player base grows or is at least self sustainable.

However from Anet reactions and back tracking it appears this isn’t what’s happening and ild be inclined to say that there’s not enough enjoyable content for a sizeable chunk of people who played and abandoned the game and that’s a real problem

ill never buy another product from Anet or ncsoft again, I only played the expansion for maybe 5-10 hrs. My gut was telling me not to buy it I should have listened to it, I knew Anet wouldn’t produce everything they said they were going to do.

If you enjoy the game that’s nice this all just my honest opinion

Andred.1087:

If you don’t like it, don’t play. It’s a kittening game after all. Maybe they’ll change it, but honestly I doubt it, and I think they’re totally justified if they don’t. It’s not the first time people have whined incessantly about something and ultimately got over it or quit. Game just hit 7 million players… they aren’t going to miss a few hundred who can’t be bothered to have a little patience.

the 7million is total not active so that’s a huge misrepresentation, there would only be a small fraction of that which is active. Majority of people I’ve spoken to think this expansion is unfun and I personally will no longer recommend this game to Anyone.

No one has an answer?

Has anet stated when the rest of the content will be released?

I was never planning on buying hot until the said they would release raids, however to my knowledge they have not stated when they will be released or how many. Is there really only 1 raid boss created so far and how many months until we see a 2nd boss or a complete raid.

I’m looking forward to raiding but this xpac seems pretty rushed imo, I don’t like buying unfinished products even if they are cheap and I have zero interest in the new maps, masteries n etc.

Anyway I’m not complaining just wanted to see if they had any deadlines or if there still just using the same old it’ll be done when it’s ready line and not release anything until the next expansion like we saw with the core game.

From someone who had being playing since early betas, n used the cash shop frequently. good luck with this x pac but I’ll rather support a different company who deserves it more

And of that 7.3million how many people still play the game a small fraction old presume

Anet doesn’t care About its current players, they rarely respond to posts take months to fix bugs or never. anet only cares about new players because there so good at making old ones leave. They need to restock the herd full of fanboy sheep

U don’t get a char slot unless u prepurchase and why would anyone prepurchase when it appears there will be very little content added, so NO not everyone gets a char slot

people say we have had tons of updates over 3years but in reality very little has been added, no spvp modes, few minor w3 tweaks, no dungeons, some fluff living world grind fest and world bosses where u spam 11111. This game is made for 13yr olds and its lost my support

The living story was unintresting n grindy the only good bit was the queens gauntlet. This expac is not worth $20 n I won’t be buying it

So because those expacs contained no content it’s ok for gw2?

How many people in total bought gw2 over the years? And what size is its players population at now?

I agree with op n other people, content is lacking. To many fan boys talking things up ruining the game for everyone else thanks a lot guys

Be more worried about the amount of content than the price it comes at, old rather pay $100+ n see some real content put in

Glad to know I’m not the only one who is disappointed with how little content has been hyped up so much

Let’s wait until it’s released, I wouldn’t want you to be disappointed when you realise how little content is actually going to be released

1. They said they would implement new spvp maps pre release
2. Precursor crafting just after release
3. Minus revenent and new w3 map the rest is just fluff

I see a lot of fluff but I don’t see much content? Why are people so excited about this expac when there appears to be no depth? Imo most of what there adding they said they would put into the game pre release 3yrs ago

Keep expectations real low, hope for nothing. That way when the expansion is released your only a little disappointed with how bad it is

No co ordination required just lay on the ground dead and collect ur loots after u rez

Lack talent or skills than complain about dungeons and rave how good open world is

Tbh the damage is already done, they don’t care, they don’t listen. To busy focusing on cash shop rather than making a enjoying game which would more rapidly increase their profits in 3 yrs.

1 new pvp modes that’s on rotation?

1 new dungeon path

Tbh this game started out amazing but I feel like all the talented ppl left or got chained to their desk and whipped into making this game a zerg grind fest and changing the community sentiment to not only like it but gobble it up like its kitten turned into wine

In my playing gw2 since launch one thing I’ve noticed least active players receive the rarest drops, in 3yrs of playing I’ve never got anything worth more than 10g with over 3k hrs spent in game if u want good loots be inactive my gf account played 1 a month gets lots of expensive drops consistently

I have 7 alts with less than 20% map completion all with less than 10 skill challenges completed who I lvled in dungeons spvp and w3 so yes I think having to collect kitten skill points is abit unfair

$250 worth of prizes? Are you guys going broke or just really cheap

Yes, of course they should spend millions on a single contest rather then spending those money on resources for the game…

This is why we can’t have nice things. People will complain about every single thing.

Where did I say they should spend millions? Some people are content with nothing and anyone who thinks $250 is a valid prize is crazy hell they have better prizes in primary school give aways or anywhere I guess where u come from everyone is cheap so it’ must be acceptable otherwise I don’t understand your logic

lordkrall.7241:

Consumer law != contest laws however.

It’s a contest with a total price pool of $250 not really a big deal, my work throws out bigger prizes, tbh i find it insulting that they would even hype it up n call it a contest/prizes

$250 worth of prizes? Are you guys going broke or just really cheap

Path 1 n 2 of Arah will net u 6g+ And loots

The longer the battle the more epic it feels when u win.

1 new spvp mode in 3 yrs…….. And ur all happy as larry

Believe or dont believe i dont really care how much u think ive spent, i have watched numerous people consistently voice their opinions on this forum to which anet never replies. Just hop on the dungeon forums and look how regularly anet responds never is the answer.

people are always going on about the majority of the player base does living story hardly anyone does dungeons, have you ever stopped to wonder why? what did people do pre living story in the open world……. nothing besides orr it was a deserted waste land. Anet has spent all its time and resources into the living world to get you there and like puppets you followed. If it had of spent a fraction of those resources in spvp or dungeons we would probably have an esports and much larger dungeon fanbase.

lets time warp and go back to launch into a time when anet didnt waste all its resources on ls, and insted created 2v2 or 3v3 arenas where people could actually see what was happening in the battles engaging the audience and made it actually enjoyable to watch rather than a particle cluster bomb.

what if anet had of created a huge arena where people could select from a list any boss in the game and spectators could watch people solo duo trio or full party the boss. what if instead of 1 boss people with elite skills could fight multiple bosses at the same time in front of an audience.

this game had the potential to be great rewarding and challenging where people felt proud in the sense of achievement from accomplishing things. instead they decide to create this unskilled zerg mentality where the only achievement people have is in chasing points.

I am someone who has spent over $1000 in the gem shop and have been a strong supporter of gw2 since head start, however if there are no new dungeons released in this expansion i will not be supporting this company any further. I will not buy the expansion or purchase anything from the gem store again.
I’m also pretty sure this is my first post i’ve made and i know of a lot of other people with the same mindset of myself who don’t bother to post in these forums.

Ahhh so the hardcore elitists are happy! Good for them, bad for everyone else…. wonder how many normal and casual players they lose over this?

i am a casual player and i for won love the new dungeon design and hope we see alot more challenging content, casual players really enjoy challenging content we just dont have access to as much time as “hard core” players. just because where casual doesnt mean we want face roll content i hope the make future dungeons which your unable to complete first attempt…. so to Anwar just because ur casual doesn’t mean you should want afkable content just learn the strat and man up

“Maybe you are not trying to be specific, but if I go condition build at level 80, I am doing a LOT more damage than 100/s. Try closer to 500/s plus the crits and ordinary hits I am scoring (and I never go full-out conditions, either). Comparing just the condition damage to just the direct damage of another character is not really a valid comparison since both are doing direct damage. Compare condition damage to the difference.”

lol your joking right 500/s maybe if ur adding you ticks up, but i highly doubt any 1 of ur ticks hits for over 150, theres a reason why everyone loves zerker because in pve cond is broken

heres 1 method that works but only if u want the type of look not stats, if you use xmute crystals and xmute ur gear to a low lvl white the item becomes account bound. you can then xmute it to have the stats u like on the toon you want

Vayne no offence but for som reason i really think your a under cover anet field operative, Idk why you would want to justify anet nerfing good ways of farming when all everyone knows there trying to do is funnel people into the cash shop to convert gems.

theres always going to be somewhere in game which you can make more money quickly so are you saying they should nerf everything until all you loot is whites?

lets have a quick look at what has happened since launch, cs farming nerfed into oblivion, you use to be able to get charged lodestones easily in coe, guess what not anymore, you use to be able to farm sparks for lodes not anymore, all mobs which use to drop t6 matts have had a huge decrease in chances of getting lucky.

http://www.gw2state.com/temples.html

have a look at that website which shoes which temples are open atm for all servers, atm i see 2, TWO temples on all eu and na servers are open?

hmmmm so that makes me think why doesn’t anyone want to do temple runs because loots have been nerfed so badly that the majority of players get funneled into a few zones.

i was in a guild at launch that had over 300ppl who were active now its a dead zone maybe 3 ppl still play, majority of bugs never got fixed and there is hardly and challenging content, the hardest thing in this game to do is whip out ur card buy some gems and loot some rng boxes to get some trash loots.

more people need to inform anet of what needs to be fixed because this could be a really great game and i do have high hopes for it, but atm i just feel disappointed and let down about anet’s attitude (not bothering to fix all the bugs and just throw in temp content that seems half done, hey wow look a new dungeon its only 1 boss and takes 3mins who needs strat anymore) and their priorities ( rng boxes and stealth nerfing ways people can make money)

another thread created complaining rather then the op taking the time to properly learn the strat, fights not even hard stop asking for nerfs n fix ur builds

ild recommend warrior easiest class to play and even if you just auto-attack

pretty much what title says does anyone know if the temple of bal is open on there na server

+1 to alot harder content and harder dungeon’s this game is getting really boring really quickly with 0 challanging things to do

+1 to raids or any pve content that is actually challenging in my opinion anet has made this game way to casual and made almost all the content afkable. It would be nice to see them introduce some really hard content.

Wow, Is everyone really that lazy they cant be bothered rolling another toon? it costs 4g to lvl a toon to 30 in crafting (artificer n cooking) n by that lvl the toon is fun to play so i dont know why your all being so melodramatic bunch of kittens

Said “toon” doesn’t have all the achievements my main has worked for.

achievements are account bound?

anet wont fix it, just say bye bye to the old days

Wow, Is everyone really that lazy they cant be bothered rolling another toon? it costs 4g to lvl a toon to 30 in crafting (artificer n cooking) n by that lvl the toon is fun to play so i dont know why your all being so melodramatic bunch of kittens

such a fail design, i spent so long grinding out to get a legendary weapon and it has the failest stats. Because of ascended weapons i dont want to xmute it in case it doesnt get upgraded anet could at least say something about weather they plan on upgrading legendary weapons even if they have been xmuted?

I’m really disappointed legendary’s are not account bound, you speend 1000’s of hrs to craft this weapon and now its stuck on 1 character, just seems such a waste. It would be nice if they made them account bound so you could share them between your different toons.

just a total block of progression, like all the perma bugs which they only temp fix to break again in a few days? makes me really worried with the direction this game is heading…..
