thats fair enough but once you’re at 100% map complete there’s no point in repeating anything…can’t redo heart quests (not that I can see why anyone would want to) which is the point of this thread ;D

1) I for one never touched gw1 and will not adopt the same mentality that most gw1 players are trying to force feed everyone; It’s all about looks.

2) So many other mmo’s borrowed from WoW model, why didn’t Arenanet?

While I agree with most of what you say, such as there not being enough to do at 80, there are some points I disagree on:

1) If you’re not going to adopt the ’It’s all about looks’ mentality, you can’t expect the game to change around your mentality of ‘I need bigger numbers as incentive to do stuff’. There’s a reason why they didn’t go with stat progression, and I for one am thankful for it. Not to mention you said you waited 6 years. You should of expected this, to be honest.

2) What’s the point of trying to ‘innovate’ if all they’re going to do is borrow the WoW model of end-game gear progression and just running dungeons and raiding? Not only that, there’s no guarantee that copying WoW’s model of end-game will result in success.

More skins, more fluff and more variety of stuff to do that will take people back out into the world (as opposed to just Orr), and I think the game would be set without needing WoW’s model.

i didnt mean it to sound like I wanted the WoW pve model copied exactly, just the gradual progression of acquiring loot and the prospect of possibly bigger and better instances/content but yes, I do see your point

There’s alot Arenanet failed to take into consideration when it came to GW2.
Other mmo’s have a gradual loot progression via dungeons which intrun make them worth running. Once you’re geared at 80 in GW2 there is very little incentive to run them again. I and a group of my friends can vouch for this as we have absoultely no interest to run them again. We’re pretty geared. I have 3sets of different gear which I have nowhere to use them.
Once you have 100% map complete all zones besides Orr become useless unless farming for certain nodes or drops but even that is negligible. Would be nice if certain items say weapon/armour, mini pets or certain vanity items dropped off certain mobs but instead everything is basically the same.
Explore modes should be a gradual progression loot wise in my opinion. Arah should have better stats which reflect the epicness of not only defeating Zhaitan (the main protagonist) but the journey through it’s explore modes too. Arah shouldve been ‘end game’ instead it’s just another dungeon.

I for one never touched gw1 and will not adopt the same mentality that most gw1 players are trying to force feed everyone; It’s all about looks.
Yes it is all about looks but there comes a point where you’ve got your look and need to show it off somewhere but really have nothing to do but stand in the Bank or Trading House in Lions Arch and hope that somebody notices you -_-

Level 80’s need something to do other than run around the dismal Cursed Shore or run dungeons until their eyes bleed or zerg around in WvW. So many other mmo’s borrowed from WoW model, why didn’t Arenanet?
i can say i’ve completed the game and came away with more than a little disappointment for six years worth of waiting…
I wholeheartedly agree with the OP 150% The urge to log in has declined. guess the Novemeber content patch will be my calling?

downed state is a pain in the rear imo.
Warriors are all but useless when downed while other classes can leap around or vanish.
Specially annoying in spvp…

more drawn back camera is needed. We play with a blind spot incase you havent noticed.
I dont understand why during some dungeons and events does the camera pan out but we can’t manually set it that far back?!

i see.
doesnt make sense how people have purchased weapons but can only access him from the instanced area at fort tirnity.
You get the token after defeating zhaitan but dont have access to the instanced part of fort trinity where he is located?

So did some hunting on the AH for pact and lo and behold I find some pact weapons listed but nobody seems to know where they’re bought from to begin with.
So im hoping somebody on here knows.
Anyone?

wish it was November. Got a heap of friends who have stopped playing since hitting 80, geared up and map complete. Just not enough to do at 80.
Hopefully this draws us back in.

little thought was put into how things are acquired in the game. It’s evident with commander book being purchased via gold instead of Battle tokens or Glory.

looks like you’re a victim of the famed bug that’s been around since they nerfed/introduced Diminishing returns and crap to dungeons

garbage feature.
Seems Anet likes to smother every feature in this game.
From Diminishing returns to this idiotic suppression.
