[anyone else take long brakes?]

Yes usually about a year or so.. Play for about 2-3 months then i'm gone again.. There is so little open world content i give up. Currently on a break now haven't logged in since relics were shown.. i'll probably come back at the final release of Soto.. But honestly it looks a mess at this time so who knows..

[Gyala Delve is a dead map [Merged]]

This is why lemming farm loot trains are a bad design and devs need to stop, we need content that people can progress for the life time of the game. Not these things. At least scale it with smaller numbers.

[Poll: Do you have more or less fun in the game because of relics?]

Waste of code.. They said it was to fix the stats not being used and they add another type of exactly the same mechanics.. Pointless, just as bias as the last design and even more limited.

[So what happened to Guild Wars 2? This SOTA seems very ominous...]

I assume Soto never really made the gaming scene as its very small and obscure so the large gaming outlets never even bothered, coupled with the fact its going to be a year or so to actually finish it..

[Fishing in SoTo - What a disaster (my experience) [merged]]

I gave up on fishing when it was released, its chore and tedious.. Recreational Fishing is about casual meditation, not whatever guildwars 2 thinks it is.. After reading that i'm glad i passed on it.

[Afk farming, but actively...]

You know your game is busted when normal players consider afk farming as a legit option, to gain items and currency.

[How the new daily system in Wizards Vault reduced my enjoyment of GW2 [Merged]]

I wondered what FOMO was as well.. well at 50yrs old the fear of missing out is far gone from me..

Nothing in gaming is there anything really worth logging in daily to get.

[What kind of glider do you prefer?]

I like the ones you either stand on or sit.. the hanging ones seem to be less effective.

Yeah, Dry Top and the Silverwastes weren't popular at all....oh wait....

Yeah i never understood the appeal.. I tried them a few times and its really repetitive and pointless mostly solo. I still to this day never got the Tyrian masteries there.

Oh, boy, do I have some news for you 😂

I had a guild named "I Know What Pain Is [AION]" from the beginning because people were already complaining about GW2 starting on day 1, and I was alternating between playing Aion and GW2 at the time, and Aion was (and still is) even worse than GW2 could ever hope to be. Heck, if you do a search for some ancient GW2 forum threads (back on the old forums), it's the same stuff as people complaining now. Heck, I found a thread today about people vehemently not wanting legendary weapons to become account bound and that they shouldn't have been sellable in the first place, and it was from, like, 2013. 😂

I was never interested in Aion.. or most of any other mmorpgs.. i tried hundreds and they were all the same.. i to this day think Ascended was a mistake and account locking them was stupid. Legendary are pretty non factor but again ridiculous wastes of time effort and in game currency..

Yes, more GW1 style gaming! Make the game more difficult like GW1, tye titles and travel unlocks to character and add a gold storage in our bank so we can use it to store the gold we'd have above the cap and to move it across characters!.
Make the game like on release,  let's go back to some professions being in such a state that they are unwanted! Let's go back to only having repairs in a few places where we can pay for it!

At least it was better than what we have today..

I literally had almost no gold for a while because of how relatively difficult it was to make gold at the beginning + how expensive armor repair was. T_T And thousand blades warrior was busted in PvP. And a single mesmer could defend the underwater point on that one sPvP map. And gold was on a per character basis; you had to use your bank to move it between characters (made leveling crafting on my alts a pain in the booty). And changing armor skins wasn't easy the way it is now. And making builds was weird af because of how HPs and traits worked. And map comp required WvW maps. And legendaries were soulbound on use, and people argued against them becoming accountbound. ................

People have some serious nostalgia goggles for release. 😐 The amount of QoL and other changes we've had over the years have been actually really good. Is GW2 perfect? Absolutely not; there are a lot of things that need fixed, but, honestly, I prefer how it is now significantly more than release. 😕

People as a whole didn't care about any of that at release, they were enjoying Tyria as a game. It just went down hill after Southsun and fractals (around that time)..

[I'm lost - what do people want from GW2?]

What i want was what got me into Guildwars to start with..

At best more Guildwars 1 style gaming.. multiclassing and better  game play. At worst Tyria style gaming.. Not HoT, Not PoF, not WvW or PVP... Yes the "release style" Tyria fun Gw2.. Not whatever this crap is we are labored with now.. also ditch the 5000 000 000 currencies while your at it and stop with the ascended and legendary trash..

Guildwars 2 lost the plot.

[Good to remember that we're still figuring things out]

Whats to figure out..

The expac was tiny.. Lacking content.

The relics aren't very good and only a few are worth using (exactly the same as the last version)

The rifts are boring and aren't fun.

The grind required for the useless exotic set is larger than current legendary sets..

[Could summon rune effects be brought back as something else?]

Why not just add them to relics now this design is here i assume for good..

[What relics should have been...]

I have to disagree the jade bot design is horrific..

[Do we need to start a petition RE: Dailies]

Just don't do them take a break from GW2 until stuff gets repaired.. Other games out there.

4 hours ago, Vayne.8563 said:

IF you're the kind of guy that finds rifts boring you can probably deal with raids, WvW or PvP for your legendary armor. There's your excitement. This was added for everyone and believe me, if you add anything at all challenging, someone will start complaining.  This is the grindy base legendary armor for the people that asked for repeatable hearts.

Hearts at least felt some what worth doing..

[Poll: Arenanet focus resources on improving the core game or continue with expansions like secrets of the obscure? If you had to pick one.]

If Soto is the Future of GW2 i'd prefer nothing.

[Astral Amor Same Price or Maybe even more Expensive than Actual Legendary Armor [Merged]]

This isn't even a legendary armor we asked for in ow pve.. this is just some overpriced exotic set as gate keeping to get the Legendary at some point when we are 75yo.

1. Not entirely correct. Yes, we get to see Zojja again, but there's another important emergency and another chance to save the world. It's not just side missions.
2. Correct.
3. Correct. Although I wasn't aware that most of the rewards were locked for non-SotO owners. Sounds like another reason to buy SotO.
4. Three.
5. Correct.
6. I would argue that it's been changed, not destroyed.
7. No new specializations, although I disagree with your insulting attribution of ArenaNet's motivations.
8. Correct.
9. Correct.
10. Incorrect. The Wizard's Vault is an entirely new system.
11. Bonus! Also correct.

I spent more than $25 at lunch today. I'd say if $25 is an issue for you then you shouldn't buy SotO, instead you should look for a better paying job.

You spend more than $25 on lunch 🤔 What on earth do you eat?

No.

I'll just sell you on Baldur's Gate 3 instead. That game looks great. You could play single or with close friends. Go play that.

Good day.

Actually BG3 is pretty fun, the ending is kinda meh but the game is worth getting if you like D&D.

[Am I the only one not enjoying this expansion?]

Ah well better luck next time..

Seems like a lot of trouble for a silly armor set.. I'll give it a miss.
