Futa.4375 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 I still gave you the benefit of the doubt after EoD and again after SotO but I'm sorry: you haven't learned anything. This time it's an immediate refund for me. 3 1 7 32 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's completely unclear what you're talking about, which makes the complaint -or the refund announcement- pointless. 20 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babak.3654 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 I haven't bought Janthir Wilds yet (I don't preorder games as a rule). Watching Teapot's stream and seeing rifts with a different flavour of trash enemy and 'fill the green bar' type content has lowered my enthusiasm somewhat I must admit. 4 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maket.7529 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 (edited) Also been watching his stream. Back to WvW i guess. Gona wait for whole thing to come out and decide. Atm not promising at all. Edited August 20 by maket.7529 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashantara.8731 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 I would understand the "lengthy dialogue" complaint if I was on my third playthrough. But for starters I found said dialogue very well written and exciting, the story seems well executed. Liked the writing a lot, and it made me really curious about what's ahead of us. Plus, a lot of lore -- and the best thing about it: a lot of new lore, too! I am currently enjoying myself. I have just reached the first explorable Janthir Wilds map and I will continue tomorrow. So far: two thumbs up from me. 👍👍 P.S. I like how detailed everything looks. Hope the whole map(s) will have me in awe. 🙂 22 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurfiness.3714 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 some people don't care about story. They are the ones complaining about lengthy dialogues. There should be a skip button to suit these people. There's nothing wrong with the game. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is recommended you set aside sufficient time to view these scenes in their entirety." God, ARR's unskippable cutscenes are pain and suffering. 😂 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemi.5267 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Kinda love this expansion tbh, lots of old faces with some updates on their storylines. Soto was a lot harder to get into. This feels like a warm bath imo. 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dami.5046 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 (edited) I get it. Gw2 is a story based game. My issue after 13 odd years remains the same - i feel the story could be told in less sentences and still get the point across. If you love story and lore then there should be points where you can listen to more while the rest of us who want more action can carry on with a basic knowledge of why i'm here, what i'm doing etc, because TBH old faces aside, after a while I found myself switching off.

Dean Calaway.9718 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 How dare Anet not have Janthir Wilds running split screen with some doom scrolling and sounds with lights galore to cater to the 3 second attention spawn of modern audiences. 2 3 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkwombat.3695 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 (edited) Quote I get it. Gw2 is a story based game. But it wasnt like that at creation. Sure you had your little personal questline but that was mostly it. I swear I dont know why MMOs need a story. It makes no sense that YOU are champion....along with a million other players... An MMO should be about lore and exploration. Let me discovery whats going on and the history by exploring. Show, dont tell. And to top it off these NPSc dont know when to shut up. I will say it again, GW2 died the day they release the "Living Story". Edited August 20 by darkwombat.3695 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashen.2907 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Exposition is the lowest form of storytelling. This is especially the case in an otherwise interactive and visual medium. I am not claiming that this is what is going on with JW as I am still at work and haven't had a chance to start it, but I understand push back against lengthy info dumps if that is what's going on. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkwombat.3695 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 (edited) Im "crying" because this isnt the game it used to be. Im not happy everywhere I go I cant do this jump, or open this because I didnt do that skill in a previous expansion. Or NPCs who wont stop talking. Or back when a zone had 12 hearts. In Janthir one heart for the whole zone which takes forever. Some of my issues are more than just the story. Oh and I didnt mean the game died that way. There are still plenty of players.
