Oh the horror that a game is trying to attract new players rather than catering to old players who have already achieved pretty much everything in the game and want to play the game more casually. Shocking

Atleast they are advertising. What's your problem?

I feel great about everything. Let's hope this expansion attracts new players. I want GW2 to be more popular.

Hard part should be the activity itself. Prolonging it artificially by gatekeeping content which take days to unlock isn't hard. That's what I meant. The only hard part was the jumping puzzles. Everything else can be done while you chill watching Netflix or some stream in the background. For me it doesn't matter if others have the same mastery as I do as long as I have more players to play with and healthy population. I want to see more new players in this expansion.

Worked hard? I got skyscale in few days following guides on YouTube. Nothing about getting Skyscale is hard. Time consuming yes but not hard. And i don't feel special for having a skyscale either. If this new system means new players will join GW2 I am all for it. The population of this game need a serious boost. Stop gatekeeping potential new customers.

Like one of the recent youtuber Dottz Gaming said "if it doesn't get fun in start i am not going to wait 100 hours for it to get fun". For all those who were telling him it gets fun in the end. He gave it a fair chance and didn't like it and he isn't the only one. I believe that's where most new players will get turned off.

Been playing this game for a decade and not once i saw someone in legendary and thought he is some tough or epic dude. What are you even talking about here?

A game which encourages you to try new builds for different game modes and has specialised class system. Having to pay to unlock build slots never made any sense to me.

It is outrageous though. If could keep my jade bot out as long as i want i might even spend 1600 gems but for something you see for few seconds at a time it's crazy price

If the DE meta didn't made me quite in frustration this patch surely will. I might come back in few months and see if anything changes.

How to solve the problem? Let's just all roll a firebrand and rifle mechanist. No point playing any other class now.

ANET be like "we want everyone to experince raids with our new lfg system" Also makes most classes/specs useless. /Claps

It's a dead horse at this point. ANET doesn't care. They had plenty of feedback since release. Time to move on.

They do and this has been even discussed several times on discord and content creators like mighty teapot and others. It's very toxic way to look down upon on casual players

OP didn't and yet hit a nerve with you for some reason

EOD for most boring masteries. Befor EOD release it was IBS. (except for EMP)

Every single day on EU servers? Please feel free to send me a friend request and invite me when this magical group clears DE every single day. I would like to join because i cant find it. I will wait for you in game

Last week i only saw one group in LFG and it was asking for raid only players so casuals had no chance. I am on EU servers. It's dead. I go there daily to farm jades. I hear all kind of excuses when some new players asks why it's dead. "Oh it's Sunday evening, oh it's Saturday everyone out enjoying, oh it's just Monday so people must be tired from work, it's too early, it's too late and yada yada. Funny how this never effects HOT maps and other three maps in EOD which are done daily regardless of time or day of the week.

This. ^ Those who got it done by luck and RNG at rush during release you are quite lucky. Enjoy your mastery points and achievs.

This whole discussion started with your comment that Drizzlewood is empty. You said the same about HOT that it's deserted. I am bored with going back and forth with you. Imagine thinking EOD especially DE is more active that Drizzlewood, Silverwaste or any of the HOT maps. 😂

On EU servers. EOD metas seem to be getting less popular by day. DE is run maybe once or twice a week by few guilds but they only take people with raid experience. HOT and IBS are the most played metas right now along with Silverwaste. I feel sorry for new players who missed the rush at relase and would really struggle to complete DE and all associated Mastery points with it.

I already provided you the link. I don't know how else to tell you this but EOD rewards are pretty terrible in comparison when you take into account gold made per hour. *Shrugs*. Also lol @ DE the dead map which only handful of guilds run nowdays with requirements that most causal players can't even fulfill.

You could have done your own search. Here is one link for example. Only thing mentioned from EOD is leviathan but that is also at the bottom of the list. We are discussing the reason why so many players prefer older maps compared to EOD for rewards by the way. Not just one individuals personal experience and feelings. You enjoying EOD has nothing to do with the trend of old maps being still best for loot and rewards and that's something ANET needs to fix. Make EOD maps more viable in terms of loot.

Since when it's getting personal to call out wrong information? Your personal experience sounded more like universal one. For last two weeks i am farming drizzle for mats and significant otter achiev. Its not deserted even on Monday mornings. South meta is always active. There is not a single map in EOD which makes you 30 to 40 gold per hour. Thars the real reward in GW2 and then you keep wondering why people say older maps have better loot. Go look at some YouTube videos and streamers which maps they recommend to players for making gold. It's never EOD. And these people know GW2 inside and out
