Agreed!
But many people who cares about the story want it because of lore
And how you know this? Sure it’s a lot of work, but keep in mind that they can have been working on this for years in the background without our knowledge.
I really hope that we will get all the content at once.
We have had small patches for so long now.
I’m curious if Living Story was meant in the beginning to be the “expansion”.
Or maybe not?
They have said a long time ago that they people working on a “big project” in the background.
If we find out this saturday that we will get a expansion with loads of new content, enough to be worthy to be compared with GW1 xpacs, then I think I will begin to appreciate the LS much more.
The worst thing about LS so far for me have been the thoughts in my head “is this all we will get”?
But in the future if I know that an xpac will be released later on, I think I will be able to enjoy those small 2 weekly patches much more
So basicly my question I guess is:
Do you think that they came to the conclusion that LS wasn’t the way to go, and decided to release an xpac instead?
Or do you think that LS was always just meant to fill the gap untill they released the “big project” ?
Well .. Take a break then, no reason to continue if you are not enjoying it anymore. But stay tuned for the upcoming announcement though this saturday. We might be getting an expansion soon.
Well expansion could help a lot but maybe if they introduce holy trinity and something like raids or whatever. Gw2 had something and its gone for a lot of people.
Guild Wars 2 is not a game for everyone. We wont ever get holy trinity.
Well .. Take a break then, no reason to continue if you are not enjoying it anymore. But stay tuned for the upcoming announcement though this saturday. We might be getting an expansion soon.
If they add legendary armor I hope they will add more than 1 for each weight class.
Gonna be worse than with current legendaries, when everyone look the same.
It’ll be an expansion. No rage will come from that.
However, the rage will come from Anet’s definition of “expansion”. No matter what, expect Twitch/reddit/these forums to rage by their take on what an expansion means in the gw2 universe.
Looking forward to saturday.
Well, every patch that adds content is an expansion to the game ^^ No matter how small.
So it’s actually: "However, the rage will come from our definition of “expansion”.
:D

Probably just continue to be disappointed with the lack of new diverse content in this game. January 26th will just be another day.
Honestly, I’d love to see an expansion or something significant, but looking back at the last two years…well, it’d be rather foolish to get my hopes up, eh?
Well, they have said for a long time that they had a big project working in the background, that they have never discussed. So that we haven’t seen anything significant in 2 years could def mean that there is reason to have hope this time around :P Since this is most likely that big project. But yeah .. Always better to just expect to be letdown to avoid dissapointment
Edit, because had some more thoughts:
But if we find out that Living World was always meant to be a way to fill the gap inbetween expansions, I will be a lot more forgiving of the lack of content received in LS
(edited by jokke.6239)
I have been in this situation before, and asked anet about it.
It’s not possible. Best way is to sell your incinerator when you get it. And farm the rest gold you need to buy bifrost. While you farm you can place a buy offer.
I was lucky to get Twilight pretty cheap on a buy offer actually.
Nothing. Just keep playing like I always play. Even without an expansion I still have so much left to do, I have for another year of content to go through that I plan to do.
And I have 22,5k AP. But there’s still so much left for me to do I feel like an expansion now would be to soon, a year from now in January 2016 would be the perfect time for an expansion imo, because that’s when I’ll ’’finish’’ the game and be done with everything there is to do.
Really? How do you have “a year of content”? You mean REPLAY content for achievments/collections?
I’m just curious what content i’m missing, since I only have 10,2 k ap, but already seen everything way to many times
That is not complete.
It should hide the face in darkness.
Then offhand swords with staff should be added for guardian and elementalist. Replacing the 4th and 5th skills.
Then we’ll finally have this .
GANDALF!
Magicka
If your lvl 80 and Heart of Thorns comes out with new content, quests, dungeons,living story etc what would make you keep playing the new content?
The same thing that keeps us playing now ?
Imagine the storm it would create though haha. People spend tons of gold on asc armors. It’s not gonna happen
grrr, wish they would design it so you could dye the animated part. YELLOW? no ty .. I like the skins, but just not the colour
But you did take the time to make a comment. That’s exactly the kind of attention this organization needs! And it’s ok if numbers confuse you, we need your support, not your intelligence.
:D
.. And I would love a penguin mini aswell ^^
I read that translation, and all I could think of was the poem Ozymandias by Percy Byron Shelley
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shatter’d visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamp’d on these lifeless things,
The hand that mock’d them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
“My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!”
Nothing beside remains: round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
I’m familiar with that poem from Breaking Bad <3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TU-PXfzsj4o
Gratz If you gamble all the gold you earn from it away i’m gonna slap you
I dislike MMOs without tab targetting. No, this simply doens’t fit my playstyle. If I want to have something like this, I can go play God of War or DMC.
You are gonna hate the future.
Mounts
I’ve never seen that, but now I want it ^^
It’s B2P. I love MMOs but I live in a poor country and I can’t afford monthly fees.
Yeah, and I didn’t even know that before after I had bought it, was such a nice surprise ^^
So, since we might get an expansion soon, arena net probably wouldn’t mind some tips for their advertisement.
I remember surfing some RIFT videos on youtube, and fell over a recommended video of the anet developers presenting Tequatl the Sunless. I was absolutely baffled that the boss I was looking at was actually from an mmorpg :P Then one of the devs said “This is one of our little dragons ..”
And then I put on my shoes and jacket and went to gamestop and bought the game ^^
.. So, if you have some epic new boss battles in the upcoming pax presentation, don’t hold back
What made you empty your wallets and insta buy Guild Wars 2 :P?
(maybe mostly directed to people who didn’t play GW1, unless your answer is different than “GW1 made me buy it” ^^)
I would rather have the jumping puzzle all year
But I love snowball mayhem to
(edited by jokke.6239)
I couldn’t care less about the box. But I see how there could be advertisement advantages from this.
I actually bought gw2 in a shop, because I didn’t want to wait on the big file size to download (and I remember it wouldn’t install from disk for some reason, so ended up having to download it anyway ) but besides that I haven’t purchased a game in a store in like 7-8 years. Steam ftw ^^

no thanks, let’s not make it even easier for the annoying guild recruitment spammers and gold sellers.
ctrl + v + enter / arrow down + enter VS remapped key + enter
BIG difference
I would also like to see this.
I very rarely use TS. Did it for a period when I played a lot of pvp, but I prefer to just chat with people. For many reasons. I speak very bad English, and I guess i’m just not the most social guy in the world.
I see no harm in making it easier to organize without the use of TS.
It’s not an expansion, it’s just more Living World. Anyone who expects differently is being deluded. There is absolutely nothing about the trailer that even remotely indicates anything more than Season 3
Quote related to the “Heart of Thornes” pax presentation: “Living World was just the beginning”
.. a 90 min presentation at the MAIN stage ..
The fact that they’ve trademarked “Heart of Thornes” ..
These all reasons to believe it’s very possible we will see an expansion soon.
It will def be big, not just a preview of living story season 3, no way ..
They stacked in the corner when the bombs fell
People please the dragons are the real enemy! :P
Why? You racist again dragons?
This will not be tolerated!
I don’t understand why people will turn against slyvari… We spent the last two years having to have our cities destroyed, our homes burned and our people killed because Humans, Charr, Asura, and Norn all became minions of 4 different dragons. Meanwhile only the steadfast Slyvari have prevailed in resisting the dragons influence.
Norn are willingly and openly joining Jormag, yet no one is trying to wipe out the Norn. Asura with their deep magic awoken Primordious yet no one is trying to wipe out the Asura.
It is time for Slyvari to say enough is enough. It is time to cleanse the world of the lesser races who have continually fallen under the dragons influence.
Why can’t we just live in peace :S ?
If payed I hope it will be released in february Would make a great birthday present ^^
-1
Sure I wouldn’t mind if it became available again soon, but so many other things I would rather see
I think Heart of Thorns is a good title for LS Season 2.
So maybe, after the final chapter gets released, there will be a boxed bundle including all 8 chapters that players, who pick up the game after LS S2 finished can buy.
Instead of paying 150 gems for each episode, they can buy it for 800 gems or 10 bucks, if Anet decides to put out a box to put in stores (for extra visibility).
This is part of current speculation and it’s admittedly not necessarily a bad idea. I just don’t think that they would promote a large panel to announce content that players have already completed.
Maybe i missed it but how is trademarking Heart of Thorns in any way related to PAX?
Cause they have a 90 min presentation. And saw a link before where they said something like “Living world was just the beginning”
Still not a confirmation ofc, but it’s def plausible to think that the trademarked name could be connected with the upcoming content they are going to present at pax
They have amazing customer service.
Very fast and helpful.
It’s like a very bad version of Dungeon Defenders ^^
Same here .. Frostfang also looses its icy breath after a couple seconds
I haven’t noticed anything on my sunrise, but it’s seems like it’s a problem for multiple skins.

I never farmed this, myself… but I honestly don’t see why it needed to be fixed/nerfed.
It wasn’t hurting anything.
It’s obv you haven’t farmed it then. I’ve never seen so much drama in one place.
New players who came to the instance got yelled at just for going near the spawns. People even threatened with reporting them.
Then you had the trolls who loved to come and make the 30 people standing there angry.
Then you had the people farming there getting angry at eachother, since people rolled guardian/war to get tag, then the rest of the people didn’t get loot.
Swear words, report threats.. That happened every second at that place lol.
And I could go on ..And just in general. Making 30 g in one hour clicking 1 on candy is absurd. When you earn 40-50 g a day running dungeons etc.
The few times I was there I only ever saw 4-5 people and there wasn’t anything you described above. But then again, different times of day & different crowds.
That’s because the instance have been full of people farming, and you got placed into an overflow server.
In an instance with few people this wasn’t really a big problem, unless a troll decides to pop by ..

I wish you the best <3
You must be going through really though times now, and I know we can’t make much of a difference, but I’ll leave you with an inspirational quote
“I have spent my whole life scared. Frightened of things that could happen, might happen, might not happen. Fifty years I spent like that. Finding myself awake at 3 in the morning. But you know what? Ever since my diagnosis, I sleep just fine. And I came to realize it’s that fear that’s the worst of it. That’s the real enemy. So get up. Get out in the real world. And you kick that b*stard as hard as you can right in the teeth.”
(edited by jokke.6239)
I farmed there everyday because it was so kitten rewarding.
But THANK YOU anet for finally nerfing it.
But you should still just remove the maize balms in general, because it’s the worst designed farm ever to be put in the game. It’s anti everything GW2 was designed to be.
It’s like it was designed to make people angry at eachother.
In CoD you had to shoot up an airport as terrorists. I might add that it was very realistic. Now that was messed up ..
I agree with OP 100%.
Though, even more importantly I wan’t a feature to lock items.
If I could get what I want, anet shouldn’t focus so much on storytelling. Give us some good replayable content instead. Dungeons/world bosses/pvp modes etc.
The zones added with the Living Story is greatly appreciated, but still lacks dungeons/world bosses.
1. More weapons to each class. Either new or just more of the same weapons usable to every class.
2. New legendary weapons and hopefully legendary armor and legendary backs
3. New dungeons
4. Raids
5. New worlds bosses
6. New pvp modes
7. Just an all over more rewarding pvp experience.
8. Mounts .. Haters gonna hate
Hopefully at least some of these things will come true
I just tell people like that something like:
- You are a God and we all worship the ground you walk on.
- Your shining magnificence makes my life seem shallow and meaningless in comparison.
- My inability to move pixels as quickly or precisely as you has left me bereft of hope, a devastated shell of a man.
- My entire concept of self-worth is videogame-based and my failures in the virtual world taint my life in the real world.
- My wife told she was leaving me for someone who plays GW2 like “a real man” and my children tell their friends I died in an EVE Online conspiracy gone wrong.
Then I point out that instead of practicing virtual combat, I make love to my wife and parent my children. Haters be hatin’ people with actual accomplishments.
haha this is to good
I never understood why people rushed to do EVERY single daily when there is a cap on the points anyway?
The cap was introduced because at one point in time it took 4-6 hours to do all of them every day. It took them quite a while to add it and I was almost capped by the time Anet released the cap. Anet reduced the required time significantly after also adding a cap, so reducing the time it takes to get all daily AP even further was unneccessary.
Thank you. Didn’t know that.
I never understood why people rushed to do EVERY single daily when there is a cap on the points anyway?
Can you give us an option to not see those overly red items once I want to salvage something. After 2 years of GW2 I think I know what to salvage and what not, without being confused by disturbing red flashlights all over my inventory. =(
Give an option to turn it off, please!
There is an option to turn it off. I for one am very pleased with this feature.
