The wait was not worth it

BloodFallsSilent.1703

I bought this game in 2012. If I play right now, with the exceptions of fractals, there’s almost exactly the same things to do as there were back then. A few bosses have been added, one mostly empty zone, and the odd tidbit here and there. The focus on LS has made this game empty, painfully empty.

I was very excited (if a person can honestly be excited about gaming at all these days) for this update. I leveled two characters to 80 specifically to take advantage of the account bound legendaries and skin swapping. Now that it’s here, I have no more desire to play than I did before. In fact, I have less, because at least before there was anticipation, some hope of things actually being fun again, and not just tweaked.

I’m tired of killing the world bosses on repeat, running dungeons on repeat, and waiting 2 weeks for a LS update that sometimes is as minor as “have a single conversation with a single npc, and then wait another 2 weeks”. I’m beyond annoyed that most of the content that has been added since release has subsequently been removed “for story reasons”.

I feel like, in many ways, I am the ideal person you’d want as a customer. As a retired adult I have unlimited time and plenty of cash to throw around on things I really don’t need. I have bought multiple copies of gw2 at full retail and given them out to friends, so my goodwill towards this game should be proven. I have over 1200 games on steam alone because it’s enjoyable to me to be able to buy all the things I couldn’t have as a kid. If I felt like I was getting anything worthwhile here that had any value, it would be very easy for me to be putting multiple charges on my credit card to buy gems each month.

Instead, you’ve never gotten another dime from me, beyond the initial purchases. Every time I have been tempted to buy gems, I think about how greedy it felt during the 2012 halloween event when the BL Chest drop rate for the halloween weapons was stupendously low. I remember all the content that was removed. I think about all the minor (unvoiced by me, but pointed out many times here by others) complaints I’ve had that were never fixed, and the fact that there is not going to be any expansion any time soon, when it should have been here or have been announced, at the least.

I’m thinking of the tree in the movie poltergeist. I doubt that minions of the jungle dragon will look all flowery and nice.

Plants with vibrant colors can easily be very deadly. If you’ve seen the movie Jamanji then you’d know. :P

Dear ANet writers,
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.

Those zodiac armor are really the ugliest stuff I’ve ever seen in GW2 … At least Evans version with a blue silvary made it cool again. WP.

The Nightmare Within Preview Video Parody

So I don’t want to get in trouble for posting things I shouldn’t…. but this was just too good to pass up.

Like a lot of people, I believe parody is the highest form of flattery, and though I liked the new preview video I wasn’t a huge fan of the soundtrack behind it (nothing wrong with metal, it just didn’t fit the video to me at all really). So when a friend sent me this I felt I had to share it with the world. Please enjoy, and take it for what it is, harmless fun ^-^

Clearly, this makes the game pay 2 win.
A rich guy can make a new char and instantly get an outstanding hair-fashion advantage. Everyone will say “oh! just look at his hair! we’ll kick that unstylish guy from the team and take him”.
I’d suggest a full-out forum riot over this.

I could talk ages about the ALL STAT combination items, but I don’t think thats a problem in this game, no one is stupid enough to use those items or forced too (though if u get an ascended drop with all stats, too bad).

So I’m stupid then … not only that, but I was happy to get my celestial ring as a drop. Saved me 10 daily runs. Guess I could report you for calling me stupid.

Lets talk last thing, the community, I don’t mean to insult the average player, but over all our look at this game is pretty bad. Like I mentioned, too many people are defending bad players because “its ok to have fun and not be elitist”, I suppose gw2 is a casual game at that regard but just don’t go with it, try and play more risky to get better experience, it will be more fun.

Sorry mate but I work my kitten of for 10 hours a day. When I get home and boot GW2, I want to relax. I gear up celestial because I can do that relatively braindead (cause my job requires a lot of thinking) and still do reasonable damage.

That’s my idea of fun. Not putting in any effort and stay within easy zones such as Queensdale and particular bosses (Maw, Fire Elemental, Shatterer, certain dungeons). Your idea of fun might differ, but don’t judge me for relaxing after work. I don’t judge you for risky play either. I have respect for people who manage to do fotm48 and SAB tribulation mode but I also demand respect for having a job and contributing to society. Thank you very much.

I will use world of warcraft as an example here and people hate it, but this is a good example. In wow you won’t get in to a good raiding guild if your stats are incorrect, and that means things like haste softcap, prioritizing correct stat on gear selection, maybe you class needs 700 crit and above 800 would be a waste. If it would do things like gw2, it would be ok for dps to stack a hole bunch of stamina so they would survive longer. I’ve mentioned that in gw2 some dps do almost 10 times less, and thats not over exaduration when my warriors auto attacks with axe can be like 4k were some one hits 600 with a slow weapon.

I am simply not interested in that nonsense. Celestial allows me to not do calculations. I’m doing plenty of those during the day. Come on … if you spend your day fixing complicated stuff from customers, calculating integrals and 3D models by hand to find the error … do you have any idea how tired your brain becomes by doing tgat … do you really expect me to waste even more of that energy and intelligence on a videogame? Isn’t that a bit far fetched.

I do not want to be in a raiding guild. I do not want to play WoW. Maybe, just maybe, that’s exactly why I play GW2 … in celestial gear.

That’s not to say I don’t like more difficult games in my free time, but that’s more in the realms of chess and triathlon. Those demand far greater concentration and endurance than ever necessary in WoW or GW2. So again, why would I waste that energy when there’s superior ways to stimulate my brain. To me, videogames are just that … videogames.

If I can’t play Guild Wars 2 at work, I won’t work in Guild Wars 2 either.

I mean doing more damage is always good, but at this point I would only go for an ascended weapon for cosmetic reasons. What do you guys think?

Ascended trinkets + Ascended weapons + Ascended armor set =

Wow speaks volume about the player base.To think that someone would need to post on the forum to look for a dungeon party.Good job ANET.Good job.

About three hours ago, you asked the question “Well if you don’t like complain threads why read them? Since they are not for your eyes….”

I would now like to ask you: why did you read this thread? It’s not a complaint thread and thus clearly not for your eyes.

Most overrated legendary weapon?

RedCobra.7693

The greatswords without a doubt. Also, the amount of times you see them just puts me off. I find my Greatsaw more legendary than those (or at least for a little longer).

Twilight gets my personal vote for the ridiculous black sludge dripping off your character when they walk. Kudzu is my follow up because it’s footstep effect look like puddles of vomit from a distance.

It upsets me a lot to see that people hate on twilight just becuase its the most common legendary, Do you know how childish that sounds, just get what YOU like, and tbh i love the twilight, i saw it before i purchased the game and knew even before HOW to get it that i HAD to get it xD

basically read my signature xD all i need is my gift of Exploration and im 85% :S

Oh I’m sorry, I thought this was a highly subjective topic discussing tastes. I didn’t realise that makes me childish.

For the record, it’s because I am of the personal opinion that the greatswords look lousy and overdone that I’m close to finishing my Flameseeker Prophecies. I want this legendary because I will use it on my main who inherited the name and legacy of my GW1 main who in his turn completed the Flameseeker Prophecies. I will thus treat it as an heirloom.

well i apologise for that the childish comment was aimed at people who say they are too common, i may have replied to the wrong person :P

It’s because people were creating characters, logging in and sending their free tickets to their main character. They would repeat this and get hundreds of tickets for little effort. I imagine it also caused problems for the game engine.

You’d think they would do the sane path and just make the mail account bound (like the letter from Kiel, it was only sent once to your first logged in character, then never again). But I guess they, yet again, took the completely silly outrageous path and screwed over players who enjoy alts…
