Guild Wars 2

Anything Pve based open world or dungeons if pushed..

Nothing PvP based or raiding based, fotm etc is horrible…

No more tree people..

*12 new legendary weapons and associated collections added to the game.

You must really enjoy grind..

PvE content (Cantha?) (at least 300 hours worth) new weapons, armors and well coop dungeons, extra character slot… i’d pay 90AU

Another HoT expac and i’d pay $15AU?

No more tree people please…

Couldn’t care less about fotm, raiding or pvp of any types.

Yeah there is a lot of that going around it seems, no healers either xD

I don’t get it either op, its pretty horrible from what i’ve played.

Hes terrible, his heal is horrible, personally find Demon far harder hitting..

Started a new Revenant since coming back to Guildwars 2, was ok in dwarf at low levels and Shiro is terrible imo.. Now i’m at 25-30 Revenant has become tedious as

Tried Centaur but my healing is so pointless at low level it just hinders me and gets others killed…

So i decided to use Demon, which most builds are saying is terrible, but i’m doing ok with.. weird huh..

From trying Rev till 35 i must say the whole experience has been lackluster and well tedious, my main gripes with the class is its a jack of all trades master of none, its weapons are well kinda crap..

Mace is ok but cone skills, low damage..
Sword/Axe is good but horribly single target,
Staff is O.o
Hammer could be great but far too slow..
Sword/Sword again single target…
Spear is the only underwater kit…really..

Honestly this class could have been amazing but so far its been pretty mediocre, no idea at 80 but at low levels its like watching grass grow, while dying everytime more than two enemies attack me…

Honestly i’m dying more than i did on my ele..

Not what i’d consider incredible fun..

Capes were great in Guildwars 1..

I don’t really need Marvel in my Guildwars 2 though.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

Ten times the work; would you pay ten times the price?

Likely would not be big sellers at that kind of cost.

From what i’ve read in these forums Anet seems to say that about nearly everything lately, are they not interested in their jobs anymore?

Well this is probably a sore point and been said a million times but Guildwars 1 they had some fine content and it kept me happy for years on and off, while it had some a proper direction and a proper PvE system setup.

Guildwars 2 seems very mish mash and honestly seems to have no goal for its future..(Grinding for weapons and armor for months is not content or a direction) I don’t understand the whole not enough developers issue they had hundreds at release and well they let them all go or what?

I really hope whoever is steering the ship at Anet has a destination at some point.

I kinda dislike the Flailing on my blue mace, i never realized the others don’t do it..

But if i’m a minority i’d kinda be ok with what the populations wanted..

I only use Short bows, but i’m PvE ranger.. And yeah i’d never bother with the Dreamer either, who ever thought that legendary was a good idea should be moved on from Gaming Design in my opinion.

People ask this every time it turns up, and every time they take it away again, i doubt this time will change anything..

Sorry to say.

I would be happy with an acknowledgement that HoT was a mess, and promise to make it right. They did it in FF14, and it’s worked out well for them. However, all we got was “HoT was a full expansion” and no acknowledgement of the mess they gave us.

Well they acknowledged HOT didn’t fit with their core philosophies and it was more grindy than they anticipated, so they’re taking the time to fix it. I’m not sure how different that is.

When are these fixes due may i ask?

And why is it my server (Sea of Sorrows) is so dead these days, i’ve only just returned but the populations seem smaller than i’ve ever seen them.

My Guilds i’m joining have less than 10 online a day..

Aerlen.5326:

No.

HoT story was awful ‘too hard’ content that made me sorry I ever looked forward to it. If this is the future of the game? Psssh… nope.gif

Yes this bothers me as well, I’m noticing my server seems dead these days as well, keeps asking me to jump servers because no one is in them…

Im 53 and disabled and dont like taking abuse from elitist teenagers.
Its not the raids so much as the people and attitude they attract.

If I came into this debate without knowing anything about either “side,” I would find this comment incredibly dismissive.

What have you found “abusive” from raiders? I lead pug groups every week. I have not encountered any abusive behavior.

You join and they kick you because your gear is “bad” to them, they abuse you for supposedly wasting their time, they abuse you if you make a mistake, they abuse you because they enjoy it.. They even abuse you if your build is “wrong”..

There is not friendly raiding, its all elitists groups trying to be better than other elitist groups and if anything at all effects that out come they let you know it..

Anchoku.8142:

Ps
This game does not train players in PvE or even WvW for advanced team strategy and tactics like other games. Most of GW2 is very casual so there is very little team play tutorial content to teach tactical and role skills.

A lot of players enjoy that, its why i play games, to relax and enjoy, not challenge and frustrate me, The more content gets hard, the more populations die..

I understand there is a small minority that like Hardcore raiding but the rest of us just like a casual game to play daily with our friends etc..

The open world is so old now we need new content like team play etc, just less of the challenge thrown at us, being 42 my hand eye coordination cannot cut raiding anymore, at least the type you want..

I used to love SAB but they made it too hard… I used to love Jumping Puzzles but they made them too hard..

It kinda puts me off the whole thing when you just cannot pass content anymore.

Hello to all, been a while since i’ve played but i joined back up to Guildwars 2 three days ago and have been finalizing my level 74 Necro.

Obviously not playing for two years there has been a huge amount of changes to the game, one of which is Lions Arch.. but when i do the story its still set in the old lions arch, is there any plans to address this as its quit a disconnect to play them, like a big one..

I understand this may seem small to many but to me this feels weird..

Another Issue is i’m not getting any loot dropping in my story missions is this some sort of bug or something else as they are quite boring to play with nothing to loot, and it makes making any money insanely hard to level up.. not to mention getting some new gears..

Thanks all on a whole i’m enjoying the changes apart from the above..

Personally dislike raiding because the time they generally take to get ready, time in them to deal with, the issues with getting everyone on at the same time, the gear score stupidity, the elitists etc..

As a carer for my father i just don’t have time to spend in Raids for hours on end anymore…

Drakz.7051:

Good thing I don’t care about Legendary weapons xD

You and me both buddy.

Obviously depends on whats in it and what it costs.

Cantha would be a buy for me.

Asuras, its always been Asuras, since Guildwars 1 first showed them and i got my free Asura minipet.

Never ever understood the whole legendary drag out grind thing people seem to worship, even at release it seemed over done, i am glad they are focusing on content over some grindy shinies..

Blue weapons were the best

I agree with you. I think a roll back to before you owned HoT is reasoanble.

I’ve spent money on gem store items that would be wiped out, that’s atrocious business from Anet.

I don’t get you, I’m agreeing with you and you’re still arguing with me. Force of habit maybe?

Wow you guys are still playing this, that’s dedication.. I left years ago but just purchased HOT now i’m a bit worried what i’ve bought…

And the prize for most pointless comment goes to Dante! Congratulations!

Wow i see the community hasn’t Changed, kudos..

What the heck is scribing :o

New crafting profession introduced with the expansion for guilds to craft decorations etc. Overly expensive.

I see… so only really cosmetic then?

What the heck is scribing :o

Wow as a player just returning this is very disheartening, ascended gear, legendary gear…. how will i even play the game now, i’m screwed..

I’m playing this game for a total of 1 month and i’m kinda bored and without new things to do… Probably my worst deal was buying out this HoT expasion. So does anyone knows when new content will be released?

I’m sorry, how in hell do you not have new things to do, having played for only one month total? That literally isn’t possible. There is no way you’ve done every single thing in the game in only one month.

I’m guessing what he means is, he’s already done everything he’s interested in doing on the game. Not all players approach an MMO with the intention of doing literally everything in it.

But if he’s done with everything in the game he wants to do in one month, how is any new content going to help him.

Game is out 3.5 years. He finished everything he wants to do in one month. A quarterly update isn’t likely to help them guy no matter what is in it.

Man has it really been 3.5 years… I left just after the karka island was added (pretty disillusioned back then), i even heard Lions Arch got changed..

I guess when i install HoT i’ll have a lot to see and do..

It was bad two years ago, it seems like not much has changed..

Jski.6180:

Honestly reading these forums brings me the most down. Its why ppl are out right abandoning them. The game it self not that much brings me down i find my fun when i want to and can and i do not get huge up on parts that i do not like.

You are right they’d be smarter to abandon the game instead, i’ve had far more enjoyable mmo experiences since i did, wake up people.

People forget its not just legendaries that are grind its Ascended and any items that require stupidly high amounts of resources and rare resources, make an insane money, time and farm grind all of which are far far higher than most other mmorpg’s.

Even some Korean grinders i’ve played do not even come close to what Guildwars 2 grind asks for. Its optional yes but so is playing Guildwars 2.

ronpierce.2760:

Just because some games have even worse designers doesn’t make the rng and grind in gw2 acceptable…. It just means it’s not the worst contender. Also GW2 is aimed for a us/eu audience, the audiences who least enjoy long terrible grinds.

Name one MMORPG that has better RNG and grind?

The Secret World
Defiance
Rift
Ace Online
Anarchy Online
Champions Online
Firefall
Guildwars
Marvel Heroes
Neverwinter

Just some off the top of my head with better RNG than Guildwars 2, some obviously have other “issues” but they are way less RNG heavy..

She has very nice Assets, always loved Norn Women.

I really hope Lions Arch gets leveled, its ugly and a travesty to the Guildwars version, i’d actually login to see it totaled, which says a lot as i really dislike Guildwars 2.

Lions Arch in Guildwars 2 is an eye sore and needs to go asap.

Stormcrow.7513:

Q: What would GW2 be like with trinity?

A: Much better

^this.

Bagel.4598:

1 Word. Disappointed.

This said it for me.

Dwarves emerge

Gold Farmers aren’t allowed to talk, their prison wardens beat them if they do.

IndigoSundown.5419:

It’s not good for my blood pressure.

This^ is why i stay clear of all PvP not just Guildwars 2 PvP.

Berelious.3290:

Simple reason, I’m not the least bit interested in PvP. I never buy games that pit me head-to-head, and never play that aspect of any game that has it. I’m simply not a PvP’er.

This too

Mireles Lore.5942:

So what your saying is yes, because ascended armor is not easy to get… by your definition makes it a gear treadmill.

No, because it is a better best-in-slot then the previous best-in-slot. The previous best-in-slot was obtainable with regular play while the new best-in-slot require grind. And frankly, I find my daytime job more fun then MMO-grind.

Sorry not all of us feel that way, if they had said they planned to add more tier

They never said they planned for the current tier best-in-slot and I doubt they’d be announcing the next tier (or many would be waiting).

Ascended armor is not restrictive to content.

It will be, eventually. They’ll add new content (they already have added new content) balanced for the current best-in-slot.

The game needs some type of progression to be rewarded for playing or it wouldn’t even be a game.

You are contradicting your earlier statement about there not being a gear-treadmill by saying there must be progression for it to be a game.

On a side note, completing interesting challenges is enough for me, I find it a silly notion that there must be (gear) progression to make it a game.

Really great post totally agree, this is why i moved on as it was not the Guildwars 2 i was sold.

• When you promise stuff and usually deliver, but can’t once in a while, it’s ok.
• When you promise stuff and usually can’t deliver, but do once in a while, it’s not ok.

Anet is definitely in the “can’t deliver” department.

Personally i see it more as “Wont deliver”, can’t means they are unable to do something, won’t means they don’t want too.

Honestly not so much…

I’m waiting on EQN mostly.

Its not you OP its Anet, they went in the wrong direction, and a lot disagreed with it, but they continued on anyway.

If they hadn’t we’d still be enjoying Guildwars 2 for years to come like players did in Guildwars, but they didn’t.

You don’t play the game, every post you make you emphasizes that you don’t play the game. Your opinion is known.

Doesn’t make it wrong.

Mordremoth = Scarlet

there it is out..

Deli.1302:

The reason why people don’t play gw1 despite the obvious fact that it’s superior to gw2, is because the can’t. The population isn’t there. Gw1 is playable and fun when there are others to play it with. GW1 is still an online game and while a lot of the content can be soloed, the fun comes from playing with others. It’s not easy for a game that receives no support from its developer to continue thriving, neither is it easy to get a significant amount of people to go back to a game they were forced out of, due to said negligence from the devs.

Also, why do you people still bother to respond to lordkrall? Didn’t you already know that he’s Anet’s ultimate fanboy?

What happened to Vayne? i thought he was the ultimate Fanboy?

And Guildwars to Guildwars 2 is so big a change its off the scale of upgrade…Just Cause to Just Cause 2 is an upgrade.. Guildwars vs Guildwars 2 is more like Final Fantasy 7 is to Final Fantasy 12…

Wow Azure you lasted way longer than i did..

And i noticed your posts all have little Thumbs up and the people disagreeing with you do not, so take heart in a good percentage agree with you

Happy new Year..

Before i left it was mostly Alone.. why, because all my friends had left before me.

Why must they be useless town clothes? Armor is a lot more appealing.
