Elricht Kaltwind.8796 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 I literally have no idea what this post is even about, what is a "F2P new player map"?

rune.9572 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 (edited) core maps are abandonware, they don't want you to play them. They could have easily added stuff to them if they wanted, they haven't for the past 8 years besides some insignificant invasion events that everyone got over with after 3 days.

Cernoch.8524 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Wherever I go, to any core tyria map, I see people everywhere, many people doing events and even outside the events, if I am just running arround I can see players every 10 seconds, how is that empty map? On EU atleast. Sure, sometimes you end up on empty map but that is most likely new opened map cause old one was full... 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danikat.8537 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 A lot of stuff has been added to core maps over the years, most recently kryptis rifts. There's also regularly collections and other achievements in new releases which require you to go back to core maps to complete them, including the new skyscale collections. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This "expansion" hasn't even introduced the main attraction, the new weapon system. Let alone any proper content. It is unfinished. At least the story mode is unfinished if you value the story highly. If not, then it is still worth it. Even without the extra weapon system. The maps are fun. A lot to do. The first map is great with all its different fractals. And from completing achievements it feels like Seitung (with more players). (Seitung was also very entertaining for me.) Your skyscale will get partly ruined and partly boosted when you do its new mastery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumpus.1234 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Guild Wars 2 is not pinin'! It's passed on! This game is no more! It's ceased to be! The new expansion is obscured and gone to meet its maker! New dailies are stiff, bereft of life, rest in peace! If you hadn't nailed em to the UI they'd be pushing up the daisies! F2P players are now 'istory! It's off the Twitch, kicked the bucket, shuffled off this mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' MMOs invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-PANSION!! 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does that have to do with new players? And those maps are extremely populated, I can't even remember the last time I was in a core Tyria map and there weren't other players at every event. Went to Orr for the first time in ages last night, every temple was under Pact control which was rarely the case even 8 or 9 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then quite frankly, you(& others like you) are completely unqualified to opine in this thread here. With the old 3 events daily you literally had ZERGS running across the WHOLE kitten map in the ORIGINAL MAPS of this game, that is commonly known as the F2P part of GW2. It was a glorious mess and to EVERY MMO PLAYER on this planet virtually unheard of for "noob maps". Literally any other MMO has utterly deserted leveling maps, or outright abandoned ones like WOW. So they can sell their insta max level boost. It was the initial shock that showed a noob that he was dealing with something different here. 🤯 That's gone now. ☠️ 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 That was also the 'new players can't get events finished in Core maps because 'vets' complete them too fast for Dailies' topic of a plethora of threads each week. You can't have it both ways. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vares.8457 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 (edited) F2P maps are still populated. I don’t know why you keep on lying. Nothing really has changed, there are still meta trains and you have to visit F2P maps for dailies and weeklies. This week one of my weeklies was to do the meta event in Caledon Forest, it was full of players.

The core maps aren't really in a different state than they were before the dailies change. If you think they somehow qualify to be described as "deserted" now then they also qualified for that before the change.

Nearly every event was deserted, or a lonely guy was running it then ran away when I joined. Clearly relieved somebody else was finishing it for him. Which I did as I'm a 🫶guy.

Quite frankly it was a lonely 💩show. And what population have you expected to see ? I started to play 5 years ago and core maps ( aside maybe from Orr ) never had many ppl there. As for your experience - here is mine. Recently I played on my lvl 70 or so asura elementalist and while running from story point A to story point B I decided to stop and participate in random bridge defence event in Lornar Pass. And you know what ? In 1-2 minutes 2 people joined me and we had 3 ppl doing useless event with trash rewards in 11y.o game on core map. I think this is pretty much incredible.

It is indeed incredible and I don't know why I'm still surprised at posts like this. During a 4 EVENT DAILY that event would have had 5-10 people, maybe even more. It's a fun event.
