You do realize CDI threads are pointless?
They’ll still do what they want to do.
I’m willing to bet that most of the people are unsatisfied with Living Story, but do you think Arena Net cares? No. Just add more gem store items.
I haven;t touched LS since Tequati, I couldn’t care any less what’s happening in Lion’s Arch.
I’d be impressed far more if they released a new PvE map, or a new hard dungeon, or new USABLE skills.
I still remember Arena Net claiming that Traits will drastically change your play style and skills. Back around the time when they started to release skill videos.
Trait system is boring, It doesn’t matter what traits I use as a guardian, my GS skills doesn’t change.
GW1 system was far more better.Harder to balance? Perhaps, but neither is GW2 balanced with 100 time less skills.
Liadri is the best boss in this game so far, too bad all bad players were whining so much.
The thing is, the PTV/Clerics/Whatever, are probably offended by Zerkers for being able to clear the dungeon so fast.
What elitism?
If I’m putting “80 Only/Exp/DPS” message, I simply want to finish the dungeons as quick as its possible.
If you don’t like it, you don’t have to join, you can make your own LFG.
Where’s the problem?
I’ve been playing with Pugs and speed clear teams all the time, and I’ve never been kicked.
I’d much rather play my heal Guardian (full cleric) than a Zerk Guard, but there’s no need for it in PvE, it just slows down everything and everyone.
Here’s a question.
After almost 2 years, do people still find these dungeons fun?
I know I don’t, I just want get my loot asap and go back to WvW.
Haven’t given a single $ to Arena Net since the release.
If I were to buy gems with real money, where would my money go? In supporting mediocre 1 hour bi-weekly Living Story content I haven’t even touched for 6 months?
Happens to me both in home BL and EB.
Where it goes from here?
Well, certainly not Cantha.
Which one? Cantha Dragon? If not, couldn’t care any less.
I doubt that I will play the living story, didn’t play the last one, and have no desire whatsoever to play this.
That being said? Did we get any tease about the upcoming content? Cantha? Tengu or something?
The end game of GW2 is gem store.
Ok, so the patch notes talk about a new portal. Please someone tell me that it goes to Cantha. I’ll gladly ally with Scarlet if we can go there now…
Portal entrance 200 000 gems.
Or 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% Chance to get combining 4 Unlocked BLTC Chests.
The grind in GW1 was horrendous
The average player (not rich) could gear out a new character with the best stat armor and weapons PLUS get the max level in less than 4 hours.
I don’t like running Zerker gear, but I want to finish the tediously long boss fights as fast as it’s possible.
Those Boses probably have tens of millions HP. It’s ridiculous.
Not to mention bosses are static, doesn’t move, just soak up the damage and use badly telegraphed one shot mechanics. (Can you actually see the incoming one shots through the skill effect cluster*?"
I always PUG.
" X Path/EXP/DPS Only"
I’m willing to bet that most of the GW2 players would fail in Shadow Form tanking, dungeon running, because it would require much more than pressing a single skill.
There’s NO build diversity in GW2 whatsoever.
Changing armor, weapon and retraiting doesn’t change your build.
I’ve been running same Guardian GS build since the beta, for almost 2 years. You know how boring that is?
Just wondering.
I heard people disliked him.
Why?
What big could they reveal?
I’m willing to bet people would be rather disappointed if Arena Net came out and all they said were that there’s going to be only Living Story this year.
You do realize those red circles are purely subjective?
I play pretty casually, I’ve been working on my legendary for last 6 or more months, I’m not rushing anywhere, but I would like to make it as soon as I can.
I log in for perhaps 2 hours max/day, and not every day, and I hate mind numbingly easy spam auto attack content, that’s why I’m mostly playing WvW or Fractals.
This game doesn’t reward hard content properly.
Just a few minutes ago I finished another FOTM run, 38. and I got less than 3G in money this time.
Perhaps there’s nothing major to look forward to in 2014?
Would you work for the 1/4 of your current salary?
Even if you loved your job, sooner or later you would lose your motivation and move to a better paid job.
Just finished FOTM scale 44.
Almost 2 hours.Did you have fun?
There is NOTHING fun about Dredge, not a single thing. Of course you don’t know you are going to get Dredge until you’ve already spent time doing the first 2 fractals. Used to be able to get a PUG for any level of FotM in about 3 mins before the “amazing” fractal update, now you would be hard pressed to find one at all.
Exactly. We had 2 people quit right after we got Dredge.
I’m willing to bet that I could get more money spamming auto attack on that new invasion thing.
It’s just absurd. They don’t reward difficult content properly.
Leave the RNG if people really want it, but at least increase the guaranteed rewards.
Just finished FOTM scale 44.
Almost 2 hours.
Swampland, Cliffside, Dredge, Captain Mai.
Around 6 rares, which I salvaged and got 1 Ecto.
Around 3 Gold money.
No Ascended ring. no Tier 6 mats.
I could do full CoE run and AC P1 and P2 in 2 hours earning x3+ times the money.
What where they thinking?
People advocating for a realism in a unrealistic game.
Rainbow Unicorn shooting bows break my immersion more than bare skin on legs.
WvW has gotten updates through LS like EOTM, loot, etc..& I hope more to come as it’s one of my favorite things to do ingame.
Please elaborate.
You mean the Supply addition to spawn? I fail to see it being a great game changing and refreshing addition to the WvW.
Not having to pay for all the content? What content? As far as I know, I can’t play the content that was released a year ago.
Look at Diablo 3. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel just for the sake of it.
I guess it’s a trend with all the new games: extreme dumbing down.
I tried Marionette, twice, bad players failed everything.
I tried Invasion once, it’s a huge cluster*, kudos to Arena Net if that’s what they wanted to achieve. But Why should I play it? I don’t care about anything that’s happening over there, I most certainly dont need those achievements and rewards.
Individual skill doesn’t matter.
Queen’s Jubilee was done great, there was content for zerging, and challenge arenas for those who wanted it.
Basically, last half year, I’ve been only WvWing and running old dungeons over and over and over again, and to be honest I’m quite bored.
Am I the only one?
Honestly, I don’t care about any of the new “stuff” that has been released (and gone) lately.
I didn’t play the SAB, new Dungeon Path, Halloween stuff, Tower, Winter events, Edge Of The Mists, Marionette and Invasion. And I certainly don’t care about the achievements or backpack skins/tonics, titles.
All these temporary updates seem uninspired and boring, the lore is below mediocre, and all the new content is too much zerg oriented (FOTM updates were done poorly and rewards are still laughable, not worth the effort).
Tequati and Wurm updates were great, they should have been instanced though, but then again, rewards are still bad and not worth the effort.
Are they planning on ading anything new to this game any time soon? And I don’t mean new story, I mean new dungeons, instances, refreshing additions to WvW? Or will they simply continue the LS?
What about adding new challening content? What If I dislike running with zergs? What If I don’t want to rely on random pugs in open world content?
Returning GW1 Skill System.
Returning GW1Class System.
Returning GW1 PvP System.
Scrapping the living story.
Expansion.
So, why not make them instanced instead? Those 90%+ aren’t doing Teq and Wurm now, so why should they care? At least make them more convenient to others.
Because the current set up makes it easier for an individual to try the content out.
“I don’t like raids and instances, and I wouldn’t be doing them, and I don’t want them to be added for those who enjoy them.”
More like, “I am not interested in large instanced raids and don’t want existing open world content taken away from open world PvE.”
And exactly who would stop you trying instances?
I’m willing to bet that more than 90% of the GW2 population aren’t playing these events.
So, why not make them instanced instead? Those 90%+ aren’t doing Teq and Wurm now, so why should they care? At least make them more convenient to others.
“I don’t like raids and instances, and I wouldn’t be doing them, and I don’t want them to be added for those who enjoy them.”
A quick reminder.
You could get best stat armor and weapons and max level in less than 4 hours without being rich, GW1.
All builds worked with any armor.
And you could get BDS (Bone Dragon Staff, and other rare skins) running speed clears faster than you get a precursor in this game.
Guild Wars 2 is more of a generic MMO than Guild Wars 1 ever was.
It’s not a sequel, It’s a completely new game.
Almost all core aspects that made original game unique were removed.
I’m sorry for generalizing, but, Chinese or Japanese, for most that would make no difference – architectural styles, culture, etc. Make the Cantha based on China.
They don’t want to make challenging instanced content, they don’t want to add open world skilled content, they could at least return Liadri challenge arenas.
Imagine all the things Joko could do with Orr undead zombies, Risen, or whatever they’re called. Zhaitan is dead, no one is controlling them anymore, right?
I wonder, did Chinese or other Asian nations find Republic City in Legend of Korra offensive? Of course not.
250 year, perhaps Kaineng has subways, Skyscrapers, electricity and everything.
Tunnel to Cantha.
Or if that fails
Tunnel to EQN.
GW2 is not WoW and sadly it neither is a sequel to GW1.
What’s the point of the new site?
Extreme RNG or Gemstore.
Which Nation do you think is the most powerful? Armies, the most skilled fighters, etc.
Which one do you think is doing the best in fighting the dragons?
Since Cantha was called the land of the dragon (or something similar to that) wouldn’t that give them an advantage in fighting the elder dragons? Perhaps they’ve already killed the water dragon for all we know?
Or maybe Elona with Palawa Joko’s army?
The heroes of Elona managed to kill a God 250 years ago, while Tyrian heroes are unable to kill a single leaf head.
It’s really sad to see Arena Net ignore Cantha.
People are asking for it, people would gladly buy it, but no, better make all their people pump out as much mediocre content as it’s possible.
There’s nothing realistic about this game.
More armor variety is welcomed though.
