Guild Wars 2

I love the art style of GW2, but this one is too fuzzy

If you have 5k hours in this game, over the last two years, of course there’s not going to be anything to do. No developer in the world could ever make enough content for you.

Ever play WoW? Everyone takes a break for months until the new content comes out. Happens all the time.

I’d like to know where this mythical game is that has more content and keeps coming out with more content that can keep someone with 5000 hours happy.

My guess is only a sandbox MMO can do that, where content is continually created by playing it. Themepark MMOs will never support 5000 hours in two years.

WoW has lots of content and its fun in its way and it has a lot going for it thats why its such a big deal. GW2 has just been a fake hype. Anet doesn’t have forever to make things right.

Who knows maybe we will get major content in this month or the next. Or maybe nothing will happen and this game will still be the same thing since release which will cause the player base to leave.

Also The ‘’ I quit’’ threads that pop up from time to time happen because those people want to let anet know what was wrong. Sure some people just make those threads to announce their departure but over all you can see the damage that no major content has done to the player base. I remember seeing 4-5 ‘’i quit’’ threads withing one week before. Think of the people that quit without any heads up or reasons to what is making them leave.

WoW is eight years old, of course it has lots of content. There are also I quit threads about WoW. WoW has lost millions of players in the not so recent past. They didn’t leave because WoW has lots of content.

I have two sons that used to play WoW religiously. They played the new content, finished it, got bored and unsubbed until new stuff came out. Usually that was a period of months.

So if it has so much content, why did they always end up unsubscribing?

Apart from WoW and Lotro, this game has lots of content! ( and better features imo, on some things )

Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you know that we are aware of the lag issue and that people are working on it. It’s possible that one of the sandstorms got a few geodes lodged in the servers , but they will find out and fix it as soon as possible. Hang in there with us, and thanks for being patient!

thank you so much!!!

I also bugged it right now.

Wouldn’t call it a sick joke, but I do hope they fix it.

First time I had lag in my years of playing GW2!

This is not an expansion, it’s free.
That’s where it differs I think.

Aspects don’t work at all, setbacks….

Can we have some word on this please?

It is really unplayable, where as other maps are no problem.

I agree, unplayable!
Please fix the lag

I had lag yesterday, but today is really bad!!
I dropped dead, then I was suddenly back where I fell and other weird stuff

Also loved every bit of the story and can’t wait for more! :-D
I really hope we won’t have to wait 4 weeks excited

Asmodeus.5782:

2 weeks? I somehow remembered that the serious content packs will be released each month now and in the meantime we’ll be getting features and balance.

Really? Mmm I was rather hoping it would still be 2 weekly.

Rym.1469:

Sometimes I don’t understand people. Many of them just rushed through whole story, did everything else following guides, farmed a little bit of materials and say they’re done.

I mean, why not ignore all guides and figure out things by yourselves? Why not talk to NPCs, enjoy the view?

This content, unlike previous, won’t go away. Sit down, take your time, don’t rush and have a good time. We’ll have more in 2 weeks.

Couldn’t agree more! Enjoy the ride

Talking to npc’s is really rewarding and gives you a sense of immersion.
I’m loving it so far!

All of the music has been great so far I think

This soundtrack sounds awesome as well!

It probably means the zephyrites won’t return with their festival next year which saddens me, I think it was awesome.

A Heart Grown Fonder

I’ve been playing ESO for the past few months. There’s a lot I like about it, but it needs a lot of work, so I let my sub expire and was taking a game break.

Then I heard about the Story Journal and had to come check it out along with all the other changes ArenaNet has made since I left, and lo! they are legion, well-crafted and splendorous to behold.

Next thing I knew I was back in the game puttering around. With modest effort I finished off my first daily in a long time, and found myself rather enjoying being “back”.

I’ve already played the hell out of the existing content (since BWE2), so I’ll need more to keep me interested, but based on what I’m hearing from Colin and the gang, I have a good feeling about Season Two, and plan to be here for it.

I think I would have been bored to tears if I hadn’t taken a break, so my heart is with you, players who’ve stayed here.

But I must say, coming back after a few months away really makes me appreciate that — various and sundry concerns and irritants notwithstanding — GW2 is still a pretty awesome game, and only getting better.

Totally agree with you and same story here ;-)

It’s amazing, I can log in and dailies, the world bosses, pvp and wvw.
No other mmo but lotro has kept my attention and gave me something to do.

Also almost at 100 % world completion.

I do miss the living world atm, so anxious gor the 1st of july.

Got all rewards I wanted from the current event :-)

Uhm I hope there will still be open world bosses and zergs cause I love those

I kind of like the temp content :s
It makes the world “living” as intented… but we’ll see what they do with season 2.

Thanks a lot

1 ) I just came back since last summer, played a few other games and it’s refreshing to come back to this one I sure hope season 2 will be awesome!

2) Dailies, and the current festival

3) Still completing the map, at 80 % now

Hi,
Anyone know where I might read up on the living story?
Since last summer (end of festival of the four winds)
Thx! :-D

I could not do it on a second char I think, due to the obligatory 4 WvWvW maps, and the region of Orr, which I hated :p

Or if I port back through the wp, do I get into another group of people?

Hi,

the reason I ask this is because of the pavilion,
is it possible to see whether it is full, or can I change to a different layer?
It’s really annoying when there is just a few people so I cannot make 6 groups for the “gold” event..

reco.8531:

I got 100% world completion on all 8 classes and started a 9th and 10th just for fun. And there are dungeons and WvW that are always there even if you dont have world completion done yet. So I think there is plenty to pick from after you are done.

I agree that there is plenty to do! I just don’t want any other characters.. I think

Azrael.4960:

going for my 3rd and 4th runs

I read a very interesting article about goals and processes.
If you set yourself a goal, once you reach that goal you end up at a loss. Setting yourself a process gives you more freedom to do different stuff while you move towards a goal but the process itself is more important than the goal

Good point
I did love the process of exploring though, it is that that I will miss

Events you can do at any time, hearts themselves are not really exciting for me. JP’s you still get a chest every time you do any of them. Meta events, running around with people you know, being able to wp anywhere on the map, there are lots of things to do. Sounds like you need goals, so I suggest you set a goal. It does not need to be a hugely time consuming one but something like get all ap or ascended backs or all ascended accessories or if you like the skin go for legendary (be prepared for a long wait and a lot of gold reuired).

Thanks, I will definitely set myself a goal
Which meta events would be interesting to do?

I personally enjoy most of the world bosses. You will get lots of rares to either break down or sell depending on what you want. I also really enjoy Tequatle, you need to show up about 30 min before or else your chances of defeating it are very low, teamspeak or organized guilds are not essential but if you find one great. I also enjoy wurm which is done daily by several guild and guild groups (biggest areTxS in eu and TTS in NA, but there are several that do it outside of these) almost essential that you join a guild/group with teamspeak.

Ok, good to know, thanks!

I figured most people just do Map Completion for the Title/Star/AP, you might actually be in the minority that enjoys it. You can always level another character and do it all over again if you want. If you like the exploration and story tryout the other races and play through their storyline. Theres always PvP/WvW which will give you something to do if thats what you’re into. Theres not much to really do in PvE outside of the usual (WB farm/Dungeons/Fractals/Dailies). It starts to get pretty stale after awhile and hopefully the new Living Story will give us more to do. It’ll probably be some time before we get a full expansion.

I do enjoy it, but I also love my current character and I would prefer to just keep playing her
What is the WB-farm you speak of?

World Bosses. Can be farmed daily for Dragonite Ore and Rare/Exotic loot. You will need the ore if you ever plan on making Ascended gear.

Ok, thanks a lot!

Jonny.6013:

I wouldn’t know. Still stuck at 99% with a handful of POI to ding in Eternal Battlegrounds. If I do decide to redo this on another character, I’ll be doing WvWvW first…

Agreed, I only still need 1 poi in one of those maps as well, I didn’t quite like that these maps count towards the completion, but I do like wvwvw.. so it’s not that hard in the end.

HI,
I will soon be at map completion and I am sad that there won’t be any more heart events, vista’s, jp’s and dynamic events apart from the living story.
I do love pvp and wvw but what do you guys do after the map is at 100 %?

There will still be enough to do, I’m sure, but I think I’ll miss the things I described above

I would prefer “light” places
But any content is welcome of course!

A few weeks a think?
And perhaps a second part next week?
If it’s like last year…

I went for the gas mask first, it’s really cool Seems watery inside
and today I’ll get the panda <3

It’s fun, not sure it’s the best yet though ;-)
Although it’s a lot of fun,
I hoped for more activities..as it stands there is only “the zerg” in the pavilion, the torch run etc,
what I mean is special vendors, special items, food, stuff you see at festivals.
Maybe that’s just me though ;-)

Very good update indeed
