Guild Wars 2

wow so right ion

Ryld.1340:

I feel like the approach to this was done backwards. Instead of reducing the rewards for doing a dungeon over and over, players should instead be rewarded for doing a variety of dungeons, sort of like with the “Daily Kill” variety.

Just my thoughts.

Now theres an idea. But honestly. For me to ever step foot in any gw2 dungeon ever again. The reward better be awesome. B/c right now………

How bout some loot? Some reward for effort? How bout some exotic drops from enemies. Or from a chest! How bout a few unique skins i can sell for money. You know like the old dead sword farming and ele sword. Something to keep me engaged. That would be great. Just something. 287hrs in game and not 1. and i mean not 1 drop or story item i could use. And have never seen an exotic drop. or unique skin that would sell for more than vendor price.

i agree. the game is no longer fun for me. Nothing to do. But grind dungeons or farm orrs de’s for 35 minutes b/c of code. Im ashamed i payed 170$ for a game i had such high hopes for. What i didnt realize was everything Anet told me pre release was a lie. I HAD LESS GRIND IN WOW. AND I DIDNT EVEN LIKE WOW ALL THAT MUCH. tbh ill pay a sub if i can have a fun gw2 game. The lack of loot in this game is like playing diablo 3 all over again. What are they thinking. Thats what i really wanna know. Why so shady with the chests and rewards. You spent your budget on artists making pretty things. And forgot to design a game. A rewarding game. B/c Anet. your rewards for everything in this game sucks. <———- period. Any one who says otherwise is either a blind dumb fanboy or hasnt hit 80 yet.

Cephei.2610:

GW2 has the most fanatic item and progression hater I’ve ever seen in any MMORPG.

Someone dare to criticise the lack of rewards for certain activities in GW2, seconds later one of these fanatics chime in and instruct you how you play GW2 the right way – just for the fun.

It´s not that I partly understand this people, they don’t want the next raid item progression grinder but come on, this is getting aggravating.

Of course you should play a game because it’s fun for you but nearly everyone loves to get better items, it’s natural for humans and part of the fun, we like to get rewarded for what we do, even it’s a game.

I don’t need you to lecture me how I have to enjoy this game or how I´m wrong if I expect some reward I can use for whatever I do in this game.

/agreed

Where is the loot? Where are the random drop exotics with a unique skin that i can sell for some cash? Wheres my dead sword or ele blade. Wheres something usefull or nice looking? That doesnt require me to grind dungeons or de’s for karma till im blue in the face. Im all for elite armor you must seriously earn. But does every kitten piece of half decent looking gear need to be grinded for? I guess so.

Ket Malice.3195:

I have FULL exotic (Guild backpack) and I bought my buddy full exotic recently also. Sitting at around 67 gold right now trying to figure out what to spend my pile of gold on. It’s so fun swimming around in pools of gold like scrooge mcduck.

B/c thats hard to do. GJ farming orrs DE all day everday. And you talk like full exotic was hard to get or a money sink LOL. Obvious troll is obvious.

DusK.3849:

I’d add “to me” at the end of your topic title, because I was a GW player starting in May 2005, have played all three campaigns and EotN extensively, and I wouldn’t call this game a failure by any means.

Well since everyone is throwing up past gw1 numbers. Gw1 beta plar to launch. over 6k hrs in gw1. HoM maxed. So i guess that makes my opinion matter the most. So here gos.

The game is unique and fun. Until 80. And the more ppl that hit 80 the more what do i do threads are gonna pop up. There is NO end game. Fanboys can cheese it up and say oh oh but wvw and spvp and and legendaries etc blah etc. Dungeons are absolutely 90% pointless. There is no reward. World bosses? How many times you wanna kill the same event bosses that…..wait for it…..yield jack kitten. I get just as much xp & karma for a 5 minute DE. World boss= walk on by to that DE over yonder that takes 1/16 of the time and gives me the EXACT same rewards. – the chest of crappy blues. ( Big Loss there) But i have hopes that soon anet will introduce something. ANYTHING. to get my interest back. B/c the game was fun. But it feels like a single player and not an MMO. Wheres all the cool skins. Like the old dead sword farming and ele sword farming. you know. Something worth more than vendor price or the ecto you may or may not pull from it.

Dont you ppl see. They are banning and taking care of botters. Have you not seen the nerfs? Thats not for us. Although it seriously effects us. SERIOUSLY. They put in the farm code etc to help deter them. Which in turn is now detering a potential paying customer(me). But lets look at the core issue here. If ppl are gonna buy gold from botters, theres gonna be botters… imagine that. Also, the real problem for anet is that the botters are selling gold cheaper than they are. And you know how bad Anet wants our money. Look at the crap economy. Lack of gold and nerfing to anything to make gold.

Krimlin.3257:

Thank you for making this post! ArenaNet needs to see what they are doing to ruin their game by putting so many limitations on the game to scare away bots. You prevent bots, yes, but you ruin the game for your customers who paid for the game. Come on ArenaNet, you are ruining your game which will come back and bite you in the butt. Isn’t it clear after all the posts that you are driving your customers AWAY rather than keeping them.

+1

But has anyone noticed they dodge the real question. WHERES THE LOOT? Where is my reward. Why is there such a lack of randon drops that have a neat skin making it more valuble than just the ecto you may be able to pull out of it. 6 yrs in the making and no loot. lol. Visuals can only carry a game so far. It is pretty. But you should have spent less time on looks and more time on rewards. Oh. and your pitiful excuse for dungeons.

TwistedWarrior.8613:

You haven’t seen negative yet. I bought both SWtOR and Diablo III during their launch and whitnessed first hand what negativity really is. These forums haven’t even started to get warm.

Hahahahahaha. no doubt. The game is good. Not great. Great games have end game content. You know, content after 80 that is not pvp related. Or a seriously boring dungeon with no reward worth banging your head for. God loot is terrible in this game. Maybe it is diablo 3 with the crappy loot and swtor with the crappy ( or lack of) end game.

If you wanna give ‘feedback’ then just do it,

Who cares if a bunch of Anet fanboys jump in your thread and highjack/derail it ?, honestly, who cares, it’s your opinion, your entitled to your opinion, and they are entitled to theirs as well.

Just say what you think,

1-80 first time round it’s a fantastic game, after that it’s boring as hell.

It reminds me of SWTOR, you know that single player story game that pretended to be an MMO, but was infact just another instalment of Knights of the Old Republic dressed up as an MMO, ie a few MMO bits bolted on, (badly bolted on).

Yep, to me GW2 feels exactly the same, 1-80 it tells a nice story, and there is a ton of other people around, but there is no real reason for them to even be there tbh.

After that, its just a silly grind fest, all MMO’s are just a silly grind fest, so no shocker there really, only to be expected.

What is shocking on the other hand is just how buggy and badly put together the Game is -

Useless Skills and Traits
Vague Skill and Trait descriptions
Awkward and Clunky Combat
Bugged Events and Skill Point Quests
Eratic Camera
Boring and Ugly Armor

And last but not least, a complete ‘Zerg’ mentality brought on by the removal of the Trinity system, a trinity system that in itself was not a bad thing, it just failed because Game Devs ‘failed’ to make Tanking and Healing ‘FUN’, lol

Oooh ZERG, that reminds me, WvWvW, the one thing that I thought would be GW2’s best feature turned out to be nothing more than a Zerg fest,

There is no strategy, no tactics, no nothing, there is not even any PvP lol, it’s just endless Zerging, big groups running around, smashing gates and then killing a mini boss, lol

There you go, thats my feedback, fire away fanboys, and just see if I care.

lol

So true. I’m in the middle of leveling right now and its pretty fun. Most of the game is a total zerg fest tho. I can only imagine the zerging that goes on at lvl 80.

I think I’ll just end up treating the game like a single player game. Play till 80. Then if I get bored just move on to another game. Come back every once in a while and see if anything interesting was added. Still pretty fun game for what it is tho.

Thats what i did. There is no endgame and no reason to play after 80. Shelf it and move on. I dont understand why everything is so unrewarding in this game. I thought i accidently clicked on my diablo 3 start button.

@ six bock

Thats what i did.

They did the same thing to gw1. They focus to hard on stopping botters at the expense of their customers enjoyment. And omg the lack of endgame is incredible. No random awesome skin drops. no exotic drops from monsters. No monster specific loot. Your gear choices are soooooo limited. Theres like 8 skins in the whole kitten game. Wheres the loot Anet? Wheres my rewards. 287hrs played and have NEVER got a single thing of value from a dungeon, Mob or chest. Are there no exotics that drop in this game? I so loved the lvling up. But soon as i hit 80……game over.

Paul.4081:

I’m disappointed about being forced to play WvW for 100% map completion and haven’t logged in since I learned this or had the desire too. I loved exploring the map more than the story and levelling up (not yet tried the dungeons). Now my favourite part is all but pointless, I find myself reading my Kindle instead.

I could play WvW but I only play PvP gametypes when crosshairs are involved. And I bought this game for the PvE.

I actually just wrote a post on this.

Me too

So i have every zone done but the WvW exploring. Having this be a part of the 100% completion is a terrible idea. For several reasons.

1. Why is Pve Content mixed with PvP.

2.Why is my legendary tied to a gametype i dont like to play. Especially with how broken WvW is. It could take many months or longer to get 100% b/c my server never has anything. So why is my completion based on other people. It is indeed out of my hands.

3. What may be fun for some is a bore to others. Cheers to you if you love wvw and wanna sit in there and hope that castle gets taken so u can get a poi or vista. But forcing a pve player into pvp seems like bad design. I get they wanna fill their wvw games. But dont force me into a gametype i dislike. And then tie a major piece of acquiring my legendary to it. Its RnG.

4. The awful que times. Enough said. Then lord forbid that i get the odd sound bug that makes my sound go “woooo woooo woooo” so i have to restart and lose my wvw place.

I just disagree with making a gamebreaking decision like this for me. Something out of the players hands. Its a group effort in wvw. And one that nobody seems to have control over on my server. So instead of progressing. Im stuck . It just doesnt seem right.
You should have made pvp explorable title. And left that area to the dedicated Pvpers and gave the PvE their own. Instead of forcing them to sit in long ques on terrible servers hoping today the places u need are controlled by your team. Just my 2 cents. Thx for reading.
