Guild Wars 2

Naus the Gobbo.5172:

Aleglast, you do realize that we got that patch two months ago, right?

The “really big feature patch” was the april 15 feature patch.

Lol i can gurantee you we are going to get something huge on july first, and then i get to say i told you so.

Hellafelon.5376:

I don’t think we will get anything big or new with the first update of season 2. After that, I think the types of content we could get will step up, and that could possibly mean a new race. maybe by the end of the year

read my post pal, we are getting something big, and it will be on july 1st.

jazzllanna.1278:

I am thinking of making an alt but wonder if I should hold off until the next patch. Do you think we might see a new race with it? It would be a great way for Anet to pull in some money from character slots, bag slots, name changes (if you like a name you already have), ect.

I wouldnt doubt it too much, Anet likes to keep secrets and does it very well, thats why its not out if it is coming. check this outDDDDD

“When [Living World Season One] ends [on 4th March], we’re going to take a break for a little bit and then we’re going to do one really big feature patch that is more akin to what people see from some of our [MMO] competitors,” said Johanson, "where they bundle a lot of features together into a really big patch every now and then.

“We’re going to provide that experience and have this huge feature build that has a whole lot of gameplay-changing elements, a lot of quality of life improvements, a lot of features bundled together into one big patch. And that’ll come some time not too far after Season One completes.”

it is

just do the reward tracks

and if you consider that you just get it while doing something fun anyway and increasing your pvp rank
then it is really the best way to get them

kk just wanted to know if there were other ways, pvp can get boring staking people over and over……

Persica.9728:

Its been “filler recycled content” basically uninteresting, hence the reason for massive player decline due to other games being released. I’ve been an avid player since pre-launch and the last 3.5 to 4months there has been easily a 35-40% decline in players.

Source for this info? because according to anet they are ridding the prosperity wave right now with an incredible player base after only being out for one year.

“If you look at any game ever made, a year after release, sales are always dropping – that’s just very normal,” responded Colin Johanson. "We’re also very happy with the rate the sales have been dropping down. It’s actually dropped much less than we would have forecasted.

“Something people forget about a lot is that we’re already the fastest-selling MMO in history, so even if sales are declining a little bit, that’s on the fastest selling MMO in history. We don’t really have a problem with that.

Later, he added: "Some of our players believe that because we are doing this Living World seasons, and these features or these big feature-builds, that it means that the features you would traditionally get in an expansion, or the content you would traditionally get in an expansion, is not something that will get added to Guild Wars 2. And that is not true at all.

“Not only are we doing those things, new features and content you would traditionally get from a boxed expansion are also things that will be added to Guild Wars 2.

“… but we absolutely are going to do sweeping new features that you would traditionally only get in expansions – large regions, content and progression additions to your characters in the form of growth and professions and races. Those are all things that you will see in the lifespan of Guild Wars 2.”

Title says it all. So far ive assumed that it is pvp.

Asmodeus.5782:

However, all your other characters seem to earn a millyun Tomes of Knowledge each hour now.

How do you get tomes of knowledge? im just been doing map completion lately so i dont know. Is it just from bosses or what?

StinVec.3621:

You can also temporarily re-bind your mouse scroll wheel as being “Mouse 1” and then just scroll your mouse wheel to consume them all in seconds.

Oh wow, nice tip! i didn’t know mouse wheel works.
Still being able to right-click and mass consume would have been nicer.

Did you not know you can combine luck using artificer? it takes like 2mins to go through 5 250 stacks of luck. I know this because when i salvaged hundreds of ectos I had inventories full of luck, combining the luck made it simple.

Prophet.6257:

Yes please.

I’m sick of account bound as well but let’s start with getting rid of soul bound first.

And well their at it why dont they just make legendaries free? like seriously why does it require hard work to do anything in this game? they should make everything easy.

rincewind.9528:

Well, I don’t even think about having a legendary.
I don’t have that many hour to play.

But I have my little fun. I only have one lvl. 80. And I’m loving leveling my alts. At my own pace. Taking my sweet time to admire the places. Joining other people for events and champions.
I dislike the PVP and don’t plan to do PVP in the future, at least for now. But PVE is giving me tons of fun.
Except Liadri, she only brings despair and sorrow. The rest of the gauntlet is cool.

And there aint no problem with that! enjoy it how you want! this is your game.

cheshirefox.7026:

maybe you should recommend people try out crafting actual items or doing a dungeon run without getting totally carried before suggesting this not so bad end game you speak of.. nice obscure legendary pitch though

I think you must have skipped through alot of my post, i made it very clear that this was only one tip for burnt out players. And this was not an attack on other ways to enjoy the game, just one way to have fun, for a certain type of gamer. I COMPLETELY agree with almost everything everyone is saying, this is just one tip.

Berelious.3290:

I’m forced to agree, making a legendary (or in my case 2) had me enjoying the game all over again… You know what, maybe I should make another 2… yes, I believe I will, and I know which two to make. Thank you!

haha np, hey when you made yours did you mystic luck the precursor or buy it?

A R W E N.6895:

Its been almost a year that I have everything needed to craft my legendary. Its just sitting in my bank except for one thing.

I’m pretty sure you know what the one thing is.

And I will not craft any legendary ever not until they (Anet) gives player a way to obtain that item without playing RNG wars 2.

talking about you precursor

Legendary should come with legendary feats. It should not be related to legendary luck

And honestly, this game lacks of content for level 80.

sorry about that, of course you are right! and yes i totaly agree with you this part of the legendary sucks, and they are very expensive to buy so i feel your pain!

I dont think you understand legendaries, and this is not meant to be offensive, but you dont need a precursor to craft the legendary, in fact, you cant use the precursor.

Edit: only luck part is the clovers

edit: hold on maybe im wrong, sure hope im not though!

winterchillz.2564:

Haha, good tip there, mate. I have my periods when I get bored of being 80 now and then. General reason for that is that I’m currently leveling my fifth 80 character in less than my 70 days /age.

Running dungeons all over again and generally doing the same things could get tedious but then I had the same thought and now I’m aiming at not only 1, but 2 leggies

Good luck with the crafting!

Exactly! isnt it great?

I like your idea pal, this could very well be something that anet has as a pet project, however, i dont think we would see it for at least a year even if they are working on something like this now. But still its great to get these ideas out there and heard!

So up until about a week ago you could find me constantly complaining about the endgame content and how gw2 loses so much flavor when you reach 80. Eventually i ended up stopping the game all together because i was so mad at anet. I have found that there are a ton of people in the same situation that i was and so im giving you a quick tip that should improve the game for a lot of players. I am not saying that every player will find satisfaction in this but i certainly did.

So, when i was about to delete the game from my comp, i had this random thought, why don’t i craft a legendary? Of course the task always seemed daunting and impossible but after spending a few hours beginning it, i found that it was very doable. Not only this! but i found that every single thing in the game was JUST as fun as it had been when i first played. There is something about a solid and high goal that makes all the things you do worth it. I used to hate doing hearts now i love them! As with every other thing in the game i found so much more enjoyment in them.

Now it might seem dumb to you when you think about it, but honestly, embarking on the journey to craft a legendary will make your game so much more fun. The best thing is, you don’t have to bother rushing it, because you finally enjoy the things you previously counted as miserable grind fests. Its hard to express just how much I enjoy this game once again.

One very important thing to remember is that gw2 isnt wow, it is designed to be fun from 1-80 just playing the game! and the only reason it loses that flavor is because of goals. but they put those goals right in front of our faces, we just got to go for em!

Try this, if it doesn’t work out for you, it doesn’t matter, but if it does, you just began the journey to re-experience all of gw2 all over again!

Guild Wars 2 is back in the game for me! well it is a game…..but its back in the competitive game of the gaming world! <——-hardly understands himself…..

Side note: This is just one TIP for how to enjoy the game more, im not discounting all of the people asking for more from anet, and especially dont want an argument. Im just trying to show people ways to enjoy the game NOW instead of 3 patchs from now!

Khyber.2693:

GW2 has been extremely uneventful lately, with that said, I’m wondering what you all are doing with your time in game.

I personally am trying to stock up on things that I think will be in high demand in the future and just in general trying to accumulate funds. I’m not really the rp type or “just walk around and take in the sights” type myself.

How about you?

Honestly if you want to have TOO MUCH stuff too do in this game craft legendary. Crafting legendary makes every single thing you do feel worth it and it makes the experience far more enjoyable when you find out that everything you do is actually moving you towards a common goal. I dropped this game for 2 months and when i came back on i still didnt enjoy it, but soon as i had the idea to craft a legendary it totally turned the game around for me and made it so much more fun.

Do it! enjoy!

I used to complain about this ALL THE TIME until one day i had this crazy thought. why dont i craft a legendary? i started having tons of fun the moment a started crafting it because it provided a crazy high goal with incredible reward and a general drive for the game.

Moral of the story, gw2 is what you make it, if you sit around complaining you will never truly enjoy it but if you just get out of lions arch and actually play with the thousands of others on the game you can have tons of fun late game.

And one more honest tip, just take a break for a month or two, and come back to the game and you will find even stuff you found boring like doing hearts and map comp will be lots of fun.

Please anet GIVE me something that will interest me for A MONTH. NOT A DAY. I am sorry for blowing off like this, i love this game, but if anet is gonna drop a crap tonne of cash on a full team that is suppose to keep the game “fresh”, why not release something that is fun, LONG TERM. ONE new PERMANENT dungeon would keep me going for a very long time. I know some people are very interested in the living story but it means nothing to me and a lot of other people who play this game. Of course the living story is a means of keeping the game from dying and keeps us on our toes every patch expecting something that will really freshen up the gameplay but it never comes. This is my favorite game that i have ever played period. but please ANET I want something new other than more living story……….
