Guild Wars 2

Please Arena-net I play 30minutes a year and am best player in universe unrivaled superstar, please do not add anything to your vidjagame and continue to let it spiral into disparity so I can read about how Mike O’Brien burns down his office building for insurance money.

People should relax about them putting out new gear after this gear comes out. I mean if we look at guild wars 2’s track record it would take them another year to even think about releasing a new weapon.

Guild Wars 2 shouldn’t cater to kittens just because they want things handed to them. Theres a difference between casual style and being catered to.

Go solo Arah.

People have done it. It’s possible. You’re just too casual.

kitten . Arah is still easy. These people are too casual. Go solo AC.

kitten, this game is too easy. Go play solitaire.

So let me get this straight- you don’t just want harder content for players who want a challenge, you also want better gear stats to show how hardcore you are?

Sorry no

Say what you want but gear progression is a terrible idea ( remember the Ascendant storm?)
I think that the Liadri mini is a great example of reward for hard content- it is cosmetic and it showed that you completed the content- hence the bragging rights. That is how it should be in GW2

As for your need to have large group content- no problem with that at all as long as the rewards are cosmetic.

The thing you forget when you complain about casual content is that many people bought this game because they are burnt out from years of playing MMO’s as a second job.
Many people came here because they are sick of that and the inevitable gear treadmill that goes with that kind of game.
Many people have real life commitments that only allows them to play an hour a day if that.
Those people play to have fun, kick back and blow off some steam- not to show how uber/ better/ pro they are.

I think you need to come to terms with the demographic for this game

Ok first of all thats bull, this game wasn’t supposed to a casual dumpster fire. It was supposed to be something fresh and original with 0 farming on their manifesto, but surprise surprise; everything in the game is farming. Every contest ever released from this games launch is more farming even achievements SSSensational.

Whens Blade & Soul coming out Arena Net. I mean Guild Wars 2 is just a temporary game filled with temporary content to hold that off for NcSoft right?

Actual content and not more bait and switch garbage

People in china aren’t going to play this casual game lol

If you’re looking at Ncsofts report does it exclude the trucks of money they rake in from Aion?

I’m sorry by the way. What I should’ve said was “this game has 0 permanent content or end game content” but I guess thats what you would expect from Angry Birds the MMO.

The thread title is kinda weird because GW2 does aim towards casuals, there is no question about it. 99% of the games are doing that because they want to generate money and the biggest demographic are in fact casual players.

This game would generate more money if it didn’t base its game around just casual players. An MMO also shouldn’t just be treated as a business thats pitiful. A developer should take pride in their own game, but this game has literally just recreated farmville on a 3d scale. Literally the only playerbase this game has left is like 25% White Knights and 75% Roleplayers RIP

Well they make $3Million in sales every month, so they must be doing something right =D

it is ok that you do not like it, I am sure there are games that cater more towards your taste out there.

Well I guess you would know a good game that caters to players considering you’re so transparent with your white knight stance towards guild wars 2 – which caters to kittens who live in ignorance about how terrible guild wars 2 is managing itself with every following month.

again, all of that just a matter of opinion.

Lets see its a casual game, no real content a year into release, uses outdated hardware (dx9) and claims to make a good amount of money per month (Allegedly). So If this game really is raking in alot of money like you say it is, why is it they still use Dx9 and have 0 content. Is it that they cant fund the developers required to make content or optimization? And by the way 1million dollars is not alot for a big MMO title.

Guild wars 2 doesn’t have “achievements”, it has “Tasks” that they wrap up by calling it an achievement they you actually achieved nothing but farming

This is the biggest bait and switch ever btw

#Guildwars 2 #2014 Still Uses DX9

Happyfool.8951:

sure, harder content, but the rewards are only slightly better than the regular content as to not create a gap between the casuals and the hardcores

Lets be real here, this game has been out for a year now and the only content its released has been catapult mastery and fractals (Im not counting temporary content because they can make that in their sleep [Along with any other game])

The casual of this game is sickening to be honest. If the development team is really aspiring to make a casual MMO (Which is a contradiction in itself) why wouldn’t they just make an I-pad game or something.

Uh…I suspect that there was an element of business strategy involved. From the looks of it, I would say that it was a good business decision.

I guess thats why Arena Net laid off all those employees and Ncsoft was breathing down their necks, because they were making SO MUCH MONEY and making GOOD DECISIONS

darkdomino.9578:

It just baffles my mind when people say GW2 is for “casuals” …

Are we even playing the same game?

How isn’t this game casual? The game has diminishing returns on farming and promotes farming to get anything in the game, while at the same time contradicts itself by stating they wanted to make a game with 0 farm. I honestly have no idea where guild wars 2 is taking their game because I’ve watched almost every person I knew who purchased GW2 just give up all hope on this game.

NOOOO, Now I have to use the rest of my items that no one knows about!

The jumping puzzle is my property k NSP and BP

Lost 37gold by a hacker and was told by GM Lloyd that the support staff wants to follow Diablo3’s business strategy by not restoring gold or items to the players no matter the circumstances…
