I want it all to be introduced at once. I want a whole new world to explore like in GW1.
Not just log in, do the half hour of content, and wait 4 more weeks to do it again.
Well, you ‘wanting it all at once’, and it ‘not happening at all’ are two completely different things.
Also, who’s to say these event will be like the smaller filler stories?
At the end of the day, at this moment in time it’s all speculation.
The past updates have given me little reason to have faith. I want to get on a boat to Elona and have a whole new story, new skills, and just new everything to explore. I’m starving and I don’t want to eat crumbs.
This just killed a bunch of my excitement for the future of this game.
We’re never going to visit Elona or Cantha now. Any future Dragons will likely be killed off cheaply if we even get to fight them at all.
I’m tired of fighting unrelated side stories that feel like filler. What happened to the other dragons?!
1. Why not? Southsun was introduced. If they got people working on things outside of the Living Story, there isn’t anything to say they can’t or won’t be working on these places.
2. I’d argue it’s better to try things out and gain feedback on unrelated filler than major world plot points such as the Dragons. I mean, look how well received the Zhaitan fight was.
South Sun was extremely underwhelming. And it doesn’t even hold a candle to how much we could get if we got an Elona or Cantha expansion.
Regardless of the quality of it, it was still introduced. As I pointed out, it’s better to try things out on unrelated filler. I must say though, I enjoyed the push onto Southsun. It was the follow up that was lacking.
And who says that it all has to be introduced at once?
Elona has been divided into 3 provinces, and no-one knows much about what’s going on in Cantha.

Yes I did. The living story has been extremely underwhelming.
Well then you didn’t really digest on what the article said. We can still very well get Elona or Cantha or any other unexplored area.
Visit Elona or actually go to the whole place like in GW1?
When they say “larger content” do they mean an expansion worth like in GW1? I’d much rather pay 40-50 bucks for new skills, new story, new places to explore, etc, than little little drips and drabs of disconnected story events introducing more and more lame characters , with lousy gaudy cosmetic rewards that don’t fit into the aesthetic of GW at all, and all the good looking skins are gem store exclusives

+1 for my guild and my friend’s guild.
Get a test server ANet for the love of god.
Guild decided to not do dungeon until this is patched.
The RNG is ruining my enjoyment of the game. I want to deck out all my gear in Jade weapons because they look great.
But to do so I have to shell how much money on a CHANCE for ONE? Just let me buy the darn skins. I’ll gladly pay 5 bucks for each skin.
But no, we gotta have gambling instead because suckers fall for it and makes Anet…I mean NCSoft more money.
You know there’s really no harm in taking a break right?
In fact I’d argue this game encourages it.
I doubt making new dungeons AND new weapons is as easy as you make it sound.
I’d hate to be an MMO developer, because no matter how much content you make it is never enough.
I was there, at the event, and I STILL had to see it on Youtube.
Know why? The Mad King never actually spawned on my cutscene! All I saw was a giant hole appear… and that’s it! I was like, “THIS is what they hyped up?”
Then I saw the Youtube video and saw what I actually missed (despite being there). I should’ve just looked it up on Youtube to begin with. :P
Kind of vexes me, since I got the day off for this. Was kind of expecting one of the Mad King’s super long “LAUGH OR DIE” monologues from the GW1.
You took an entire day off for this? You got your expectations WAY too high.
Good god people, what were you expecting? Zhaitan to swoop down and teleport you to Cantha?
I had a ton of fun.
Signed. Took a while but kitten it was worth it.
Yeah because its not like Zhaitan had a bunch of minions to do his dirty work for him like Eyes or Mouths or anything….
But what do I know?
I’m apparently one of the few people who actually enjoyed the story.
Getting the problem too.
Shame too. The mission is awesome as hell.
Robert, the system is clearly not working as intended, and all its doing is upsetting fans.
Why not just put it on the dungeons that can be abused for speed clearing?
I’m glad the game is not addicting.
I hate the skinner box. Its sad to see how attached people are to it.
Its really great to hear developer responses so quickly now.
I"m really happy to hear some developer feedback, not to mention one willing to admit his mistakes!
I hate to ask for a suggestion Robert, but do you know if dungeon rewards will be upped? A common topic I see is people thinking dungeons are simply not worth all the effort.
Heres a question.
How do you stop botters but not punish people who lightly farm?
There are rough spots certainly but 3 weeks do not make for an entire MMO.
And no monthly fee means i’m in no rush.
Which is why I’m takling more than just tokens. Up the silver rewards, up the items you can get to vendor or salvage.
Make the dungeons WORTH the effort. I’m not asking everything be handed to us instantly, but when I ask my guild to do a dungeon they all go “Nah, just not worth the effort”
The way to fix the problems people have with dungeons is a simple fix really.
Just up the rewards for doing dungeons.
Perhaps chests with set loot tables, or a higher chance of getting rare gear, or higher token rewards.
Thats what people are complaining about in a nutshell. Players don’t find the ratio to effort to reward all that good.
If they up the rewards, people will want to do them (or lower difficulty, which I doubt will happen)
(edited by Thorn.7963)
Just up the rewards and I think players will be happy.
So just up the rewards and everyone is happy?
Which is why if they improved rewards and lowered costs of dungeon armor (While still keeping the effort and work required) then it wouldn’t be much of an issue!
Its that simple ANet! Just up the rewards!
People don’t want to have fun or work for things Robert. They just want to farm.
All they have to do is lower the token costs and I’ll be happy.

Trying to get my HoM account link changed.
It was updated 2 days ago only because I asked why they closed the ticket with no answer.
Did Caudecus Manor Butler Route.
Incredibly Hard, incredibly frustrating, and pathetic rewards.
They really need to tweak the dungeons big time.
They’re focusing on account and security issues right now.
Events should be harder.
The Shatterer was a complete push over and most events end up turning into brainless zergfests.
Swap the difficulty of Stories and Events I say.
Maybe if the events stay in the “winning” state for a long time the difficulty keeps ramping up until the players finally lose it. So if you’ve pushed the centaurs all the way back and you’re just defending all the territory now, they will keep attacking on a timer and each time they are defeated it will increase the difficulty.
I love this idea.
The main reason I’m not doing exlporables right now is simply because of how much you have to grind, yes grind, to get even one piece of gear.
I dont mind working for something, but doing it that much is just a plain grind.
