When changing borderlands. Why are we even losing them? You’re still in wvw and changing borderlands to take a keep or whatever is kinda needed. No one wants to farm 25 stacks again especially those who switch borderlands often.

did it at 48 two days ago and it took like an hour n a half, what in the kitten are they thinking? You know they have no dungeon designers when the already poorly done, poorly balanced and the most boring fractal got,,,,,,,,, well it got additional enemies YAY, was this supposed to be an improvement? wtf…..

if it takes as much effort as it takes for a weapon per piece… forget it, i won’t even try because it won’t just take you a ridiculous amount of time (what am i building a house irl? wtf is supposed to take 12 weeks in a video game?) but knowing how omega fugly the armor looks, no thanks, take your ugly armor and gtfo.
If it’s like Ascended weapons it will take time, yes. Effort, no.
it does take effort because im forced to do all boring world events for ascended mats when i don’t want to.
What level fractal are you that you need to farm world events?
i stopped doing fractals about a month ago cuz i have all fractal weapons needed for my main. Now im forced to do boring dragons…
A quick comment… if you consider yourself “forced” to do something boring in a game (as in, something that in the end, we do solely for fun), I’d hate to know what you think of an actual job…
The update ascended weapons were introduced we had absolutely nothing else. So its craft ascended crap/level to 500 or do what you were doing before patch, nothing but wvw and stand in LA. Fun gameplay.
So, you weren’t having fun, you found what you were doing before patch boring, what you’re doing now boring…. why are you still playing then?
Just a little curious, I mean, nobody pays us to play (unless you work on a gaming magazine/website or in game development/testing, that is), nobody forces us to play… why still playing something you find boring instead of just going to any other MMO or game you might have fun in?
i swear the amount of ppl asking this same question to me and everyone else displeased with current gw2 direction is just kittenedup. Tired of answering the same question…
Fact: every Thief tells you to “l2p” when the subject is to nerf stealth.
its really bad now. you reach level 80, do certain dungeons for their items if you like skins (which looks plain ugly for the most part) and then you’re done with this game. Nothing to do. spvp is not fun at all, wvw only fun for short bursts and in pve you can’t even grind skins because there’s none and other things such as lodestones have drop rate of 0.00209920%

LS would be fine if the content would stay and not be taken away 2 weeks later. It’s bad for new players cause they end the main content and then realize that soo many things happened before then started playing and now there are 2 more dragons dead, and they didn’t even have opportunity to fight them.
No, LS wouldn’t be fine, far from fine, 1 million years behind being close to acceptable fine. I want new regions, new dungeons, new weapons/skills, dungeons with more than 5 ppl… LS brings me two things, achievements i don’t give a flying ^%$% about and NPC’s to which you wp across the map, talk to them and enjoy an extremely poorly done and unskippable cutsceen. If this is what they’re calling “content worth of an expansion” then when an expansion is released, its better cost 50 cents.

Pretty much this and only thing. MMO standards when it comes to story are as low as it gets in the gaming industry.
I’ve seen worse genres for story. Heck, there was once a time when story was not at all important to the game; I should know, I lived through it. I really don’t quite know WHEN it was decided in the west to focus on story in games . . .
I have a hard time calling the writing worse than GW1 though. I think the personal story is, actually, a smidge better than Prophecies (from Pre-Searing to Hell’s Precipice; the post-campaign material is much improved) . . . in that while you can see a lot coming, it’s not quite feeling like four stories strung together at the ends to make a whole. It feels weak, but it does feel like one story.
Which genre has worst story telling? The only i could think of is sports games lol which have no story at all.
First Person Shooters have had consistently terrible storylines with a few exceptions. As a runnerup, Roguelikes, for which a storyline just gets in the way of “kick in the door and kill stuff for the loot”.
lol fps’s in general have waaaaay better story telling unless ‘fps’ title is CS to you. Just look at the latest such as Bioshock Infinite, Metro LL and so on. When was the last time an mmo had a story worth having a conversation with your buds? Never.

At this point no1 but Vayne is happy with the direction gw2 is taking. For casuals its getting too grindy, for ‘hardcore’ audience there’s absolutely nothing to do but wvw (who the F wastes time on old boring dungeons to gain 1g per run lolz). So, anet, what’s up? Where you going with this game? Can i please have my original gw1 team back and send the current team to build Zerg Wars 2: Facebook Edition?
No one but Vayne is happy with the direction this game is taking. Really? No one. How about Vayne’s wife. There’s two right there. Immediately, you’re mistaken. What about some of Vayne’s guildies. We do have 120 people in the guild and most of them seem to be happy with the game.
What you’re really saying is players who want what you want aren’t happy. Players who want very specific things may not be happy. But for people who do a bit of everything, I’m not so sure that there’s much of a problem.
Absolutely no one but you, im sorry. Its just impossible to like their direction you know why? Because it leads nowhere else but gem store. Do you buy games to wait twice a month new gem store items as ‘new content’ while nothing worth mentioning is added to pvp/pve? They’re adding nothing else but items to their shop and a generic quest for 120 brand new hot n exciting achievements with every single patch for how many months now? I don’t even know anymore and don’t care. What do you think will be added next patch? I’ll use my crystal ball, gimme a sec!!! at least 10 new n hawt gem store garbage, generic quest that makes you WP across the map, ~20 new achievements and some crappy weapon skins. This is your next patch, enjoy.
I like the game and the GENERAL direction.
Most people on the forums, even the angry ones, like the game.
However, every patch is not for everyone. Those who the patch did not appeal to tend to get upset.
And I like how you say nothing worth mentioning is added to PvE/PvP. Short of scrapping both modes and starting over, I don’t think anything added would appeal to you.
Just as nothing can make Vayne truly upset, nothing can make Nuka Cola truly happy.
I love watching you two quote each other, btw.
i just want my gw1 team back, they build content for players to play instead of creating gem store overpriced items for players to buy, go in LA and spam flute or Boom Box. Nothing changes with every patch, its the same kind of copy/pasted content over n over again. If i wasn’t happy three months ago because anet was on a jumping puzzle rampage spam with gem store items as ‘content’, how am i supposed to be happy when its the same thing in September 2013? They don’t improve but stay below average while milking everyone with gem store
You’re saying the T’quatl update changed nothing? Really?
Why don’t you go play Guild Wars 1 with your old team?
Yeah teq changed something? like what? all i see is overflow fails that can’t drop his HP below 70% most of the times and after ~3 minutes of fighting teq everyone is just starting to swap overflows hoping to find one that isn’t braindead. Teq changed nothing else but bring a time sink to the ultimate money sink game. Teq changed something lol you’re funny. GW1 is dead, if it was rebuilt on a new engine i wouldn’t be talking to you right now but play the game cuz it had something gw2 doesn’t know or have seen,,,,,,,,, gameplay.

adding a skin as “new content” is much easier and faster than a brand new elite zone people been asking for a year. This is how they roll, spam skins/mini games/jumping puzzles while promising “big changes” in the years to come lol they’re trying to keep you busy with kiddy content and new skins that have nowhere to be used in.

I ignore them completely. Looks ugly (not all tho), clips with my hair/body/armor. Waste of programming power in my book. Just the way to make them sucks. I would have np creating legendary weapons if 1. there was a dungeon where ALL what’s needed (including precursors) were drops and not 1 lodestone per 100h kind of thing and 2. do i want to 100% map all boring zones just for a skin? I don’t. People always bring the “but then it would be too easy” BS… NO it wouldn’t be ‘easy’ it would be fun as fun in playing a dungeon while progressing into your legendary and not mapping deserted zones half brain dead.

This is the sole reason I do dungeons. They are the most epic content I ever played in any game to date. Especially if I expect guests, and see the timer’s up, I boot up the game, just so they can enter my apartment while a huge battle between dozens of players and
Jormag/Tequatl/Shatterer is on the monitor. Even people who aren’t into video games at all acknowledge the awesomeness of these events.
“They are the most epic content I ever played in any game to date” you don’t play many games, do you? Don’t limit yourself to mmos and their low standards to epic things. Nothing in gw2’s dragons are epic. You can stand still spamming auto attacks and win. They don’t even move lolz go play Dark Souls/Demon’s Souls and tell me those stupid dragons gw2 has are even half decently epic. EPIC doesn’t fit a creature that doesn’t move and have 2-3 attacks lmao.

remove this completely from wvw/spvp (leave it in pve tho). Rushing to rez your teammate isn’t gameplay or a strategy, just stupid game mechanic everyone does. If downed state wasn’t in the game, more people would actually use strategies instead of mob rushing in zerker gear half braindead as currently seen on scepter/dagger eles everywhere.

Im always amazed by how stupid people can be..
Did you even bother reading his posts..?
Besides why do you care what he ll do with his own paid custom arena?? :S
Or are you afraid of seeing those pve arenas in your server browser? What he is asking has nothing to do with spvp..isnt it obvious? kitten people..
yes i read it.
no wouldn’t be just cosmetic. Im talking about EVERYTHING ascended gear and mods such as Cavalier included.
thats why its stupid.
but if he meant just unlock the skin, thats another point.
i cared about skins when i had fugly spvp armors, now its not skins i want but to run builds you can’t make with amulets. Please explain to me what exactly is stupid in bringing pve gear in CUSTOM/PRIVATE servers? i really want to know cuz you make a lot of sense here. Did you knew that in all gw1 pvp you could bring your pve gear? and i clearly stated that if ascended gear would unbalance spvp then it could be downscaled to exotic tier… Now, a person comes with its pve jewels/weapons/armor and plays against one that never set foot outside spvp, how the F is he overpowered? Tweaking your build for your likings with available rings/backpack/amulet/accessory is OP now?
And if you’re against playing against people with pve gear (for some laughable reason) no one asked you to join a server that says PVE ITEM /ON, play what you’re now… its not like current servers are gonna vanish.

Let me take a guess. GEM STORE 800gems.
Better than
RNG CHEST,120 gems, 0.00000001% drop rate
yes, but what about adding it to the game and no gems involved? You know, how it used to be in gw1? Why is it that every time an armor is added its automatically has to do something with gems? wtf
Fact: every Thief tells you to “l2p” when the subject is to nerf stealth.
Max damage weapons/max armor on every1 is nothing new and that is from gw1. I don’t need to have better stats than what exotics have but i DO want much more skins because one armor set and 1 weapon skin for each weapon genre is pathetic.

Why should I watch a GW2 tournament? The game is broken and boring to watch. When I feel like watching competitive gaming I tune in to SC2’s streamed tournaments or the Dota 2 International. GW2 is just a pathetic joke in terms of its pro scene (doesn’t exist).
i watched for like 15 minutes and for the duration was just laughing how poor and boring it was. All there was is aoe spam with pets running around. It was absolutely pathetic and anet should just stop even trying to push this to esports. Even if they add gvg, its still gonna be aoe fest because this game has no strategy involved. There’s not “shut their monk while i burst their ele”, here its “spam aoe /win”. Its pretty sad lol and for those who’ve missed it, you didn’t miss anything

What happened to Guild Wars? Every month some crappy mini dungeon is added with zero challenge or longevity? Been waiting for the one we got today thinking it ‘may’ finally be decent since you first need to unlock it and its ONE ENEMY!?
Why are you even calling this dungeons? Its a room with enemie(s) so call it as is, a room. A brand new room for us to explore…
Tbh molten facility was pretty good (and i’m one of those who asks for challenging content, but still better MF then nothing) but this is just a joke, and pretty bad/bugged one too.
The one we got today (which anet calls as a dungeon), what exactly is this supposed to be? Its a tiny room with one enemy, wtf? Its so disappointing when they give us crappy stuff like that and nothing is done to current fractals or a brand new dungeon. Is a brand new dungeon in 9 months too much asking?

I am taking my breather during the SAB content addition. It’s not that I dislike SAB, but the major reason I did it before was for obi shards and not so much total enjoyment of the content. The ascended weapons/crafting to 500 has left me disappointed and disheartened. My guild left en masse over a couple of the issues on the latest patches.
I log in to do the dailies and kind of wander around. I do a scarlet invasion if one pops up. Or I log into a little alt to level and not worry about all the high level gear I won’t be getting for my mains.
I wouldn’t call it burned out yet. I would say it’s just a loss. I’m a little too low on time, a little too low on mats, a little too low on gold, a little too low on guildies.
The game has changed and my playstyle is not really supported any longer. (Multiple main characters, changing builds/gear to refresh the older characters, getting max stat quickly as possible and then work on cosmetics slowly)
I don’t want to give up or give in just yet. I have accepted it and am going forward. It just feels like such a slog compared to the wonder and enjoyment it once was.
I never thought I would agree with you on anything but I feel pretty much the same even if the particulars differ
The game has changed, some of it has been for the better but the focus of the game seems to me to be worse.
I have been called a fanboy and white knight so many times on these forums but this last patch just knocked the stuffing out of me.
I have lost all desire to log in.
I can do all the things I have been doing- my question is why?
I can see that the game will eventually not support my play style anymore.
I didn’t even buy the permanent tools for my other main that I have been waiting for, simply because I couldn’t justify buying gems- that is a first for me.
I would love to hear some reasons- honest ones , not press.
wow that coming from you its like the apocalypse is coming or what.

As much as I might agree with your individual assessments (and I largely do agree), I am not convinced that we represent a majority of players here.
Why do I think that?
Well, most players who left and think this game is crap are not posting here. Just a few like myself who still have an interest in the discussions. Also most people who are positive about the game do not post here, they are playing the game.
So as much as I know that I would need some changes for me to play this game again, I do not presume that I am part of some majority. In fact I consider myself a minority compared to the people who are enjoying the game as it is.
Perhaps on the total of the 3.5 million copies sold I might be part of a majority who got disenchanted with the game, but that’s a guess. And even if more than half of the players quit, most of them have moved on and stopped caring about GW2 entirely. So they don’t matter for GW2 anymore because they are mostly lost for good.
In spite of the big numbers posted, the current numbers are smaller. Smaller sales in 2013, lower concurrency, slow growth of player numbers after the big dip etc. It’s all about stabilising what is there now.
The next big numbers will come from China and if they stay big they will determine the future of the game more than we do. Dunno if you ever considered this, but if China is a success then that’s where the money will be for them and the opinions of those customers will inevitably have to become leading. Not yours or mine. So China could be a great thing for the game, but could be a bad thing for the players depending. I’m not sure yet either way.
Then we will be getting a lot of endgame/difficult content because i don’t see Chinese players standing in a city for months and tell others how they enjoy standing in it.
