A long time ago, there was an MMO that advertised itself out there to be “the” casual player mmo. This mmo promised it would create content that would be designed for relaxing and open social gameplay, the ability to play with friends without having to, the ability to do dungeon runs that werent frustrating or tedious, a massive world vs world vs world pvp mode that encouraged thousands to play. Huge map wide raids were also a big deal in these casual event systems designed to help casual gamers play with other casual gamers.
Non-hot maps, dungeons, world bosses are still very casual. Maybe not TT, but the rest is.
Now, I feel like the game wants me to rush into content, get my ascended mats, aquire legendaries, 5000 acheivement points minimum and alot more content thats just locked behind farming for content so that an kitten group of stowaways from other MMO’s can have their moment to shine.
You are very, very wrong. It’s like crying that world is forcing you to work because you need money. If you want to do things at your own pace, do it. This way you’ll get your gear/whatever slower, but eventually you’ll have it. And why do you tell us game wants you to get ascendeds or legendaries? Asc armor/weapons are optional, you dont need them unless you do fractals, but then it’s something for something, you dont have to go into higher fotms than 20 lvl, nobody tells you you have. And legendaries? gw isn’t nicknamed as skin wars for nothing XD
Next thing… How long do you play since, I guess, you don’t have 5k ap? Really, doing random things should give you kittenload of it.
Can we please, PLEASE go back to what MADE GW2 special in the first place.
Going forward, GW2 needs to abbandon this “challenging group content” kitten and “e-sport pvp ladder” system and just focus on what MADE GW2 special.
Its a game, people can play at their own leisure for fun, with nothing overly complicated about that at all.
GW2 was special in way you picture it long time ago, when community wasn’t this experienced… if you’re kicked from dungeon/whatever because you don’t have berserker armor, but, let’s say, shaman’s (who uses this kitten anyway XD) find group that isn’t “elitist piece of kitten” or quit playing. if you want have your own pace don’t force others to abbadon theirs, because your is better. as someone wise said “community will find the most effective way to deal with content, no matter what designers want to implement”
Easy example, today bunch of pugs killed vinetooth without breaking it’s breakbar, just using kittenload of damage. Idk if it’s not nerfed tho.
Next thing, again… Why do you want ME to pick YOUR pace? I like “challenging group content”, it’s really fun when I spend kittenloads of my free time on ts, chatting with random french guys who laugh at my pronouciation while trying to kill boss. Core game was too easy and i’m very happy with HoT content in this matter.
Season 2 did this ALOT better than HoT did.
Going into Season 3 and future expansions, I would seriously hope A-net goes BACK to what made the games CORE gameplay special.
I want a game that isnt just another WoW clone, dont become another wow clone, A-net.
2nd season… you mean storytelling or what? And, don’t forget, HoT is harder, not hard tho, we still have some tough stuff like… Okay, my bad, it’s still too easy and too nerfed if we can ignore mechanics because we can stay in meele, But the thing is HoT is harder because community wasn’t happy with difficulty of 99% of core game.
If you want easy content go for core game, play on world bosses, do jumping puzzles, gather potatoes. If you want to get experienced come for harder content, watch few guides and play.
tl;dr —> it’s kittened to want to have easier game because it doesn’t fit your pace, because easy game won’t fit pace of at least part of players. If you want some nice skin farm for it, do content, buy gems, whatever. If not stay with you current gear. Simple as such
