Luclinraider.2317 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) PvP- No SPvP mention at all..... No WvW innovations, just Alliances which is really just a matchmaking formula..... No Mention of Arena.... No mention of any kind of Open World PvP.... PvE No Raids..... No Dungeons...... All replaced down to the bare minimum of Strikes and Challenge Strikes. Features No player housing..... No underwater content...... No new weapons shown..... No new races....... No new classes...... What we got..... Instead we got fishing.....you know....that thing from 25 year old MMO's where you stand there.....you know....the AFK farm activity in other MMO's....what a big game changing feature! And Skiff's....which is literally a mount we already have........ A turtle.....1 mount...you know....that thing we got multiple times from just patches Specializations.....this is always fun....but it's basically the one feature included in the entire expansion. This whole expansion so far from the Live Stream just seems like a minimum possible delivery to grab money. Do they expect people to pay for this?

WindBlade.8749 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 As yes some content cleary missing, raids etc.. Some were just asking and putting expectation on things that we already know will not happend. New race ? already been talk to the death and the anwser is it's too much work there is no way to implement them cleanly. Player housing. Why we are entitelted to this feature ? i mean sure it's nice but not like they promised us unlike already existings contents that is already in the game that need update. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with so many MMO's coming out in the next 6 months and people leaving WoW in mass, they had to deliver a reason to come to GW2....they didn't. 4 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante.1763 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) Im not gonna say money grab, yet. HOWEVER. Previous expansions had massive game changing features added. Mounts, Gliding(Masteries as well for HOT that introduced it.) and a new class. EOD didnt announce anything on that level yet. Alliances has been talked about for much longer than the expansion so it doesnt count, Fishing, a new mount that can fit two players, and..thats it really. My question still is, what is this expansion going to offer on the level of previous game changing features. Things that would blow people away that would be new: New race(Yes its alot of work, thats what would make it so mind blowing), New class, New base weapon type/s for all classes, Housing. Those are selling points. Everything so far shown is an expectation duo to previous releases. Including the new maps. And no, i dont think its such a bad thing. I just hope they do have something big. Edited July 27, 2021 by Dante.1763 3 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This expansion doesn't seem to add anything except the specializations..... 4 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fangoth.4503 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 strokes are too hard for casuals, not enough for raider.

I agree as I love the game and am still holding hope...but they REALLY need to deliver. The Announcement Live Stream for PoF was HYPE and showed tons of game changing features....this showed us a boat and 1 mount......oh and fishing...lol.

We don't know anything yet about armor sets or weapons, so your assessment might be a little premature there as well. New races - I admit, it seems unlikely at this point, but we still might be pleasantly surprised, who knows? Why don't we simply wait until we have received all the information? Just a thought...

I agree...there could be stuff left out yet to be announced, but I doubt it will be anything big and feature heavy...why would they leave that out of the big reveal? I mean...fishing? That's like a patch....that's about as big as sitting in chairs......c'mon. Edited July 27, 2021 by Luclinraider.2317 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general, I would agree on that (wasn't part of my wishlist, either). However, they did make it sound like fun - so I'll wait and see for myself. Also, I thought co-op mounts and the return of the Aetherblade were both quite interesting reveals. Again, it all depends on their final implementation, but until I haven't seen them with my own eyes, I can't say whether it's "nay" or "yay." For now, I think the former (co-op mounts) sounds like a worthy expansion feature. Besides, the best feature of every expansion is always its overall quality: exciting new locations and activities, a thrilling plot, and overall excellent writing and design. If those aren't present, no "special feature" can save the content. Since those cannot be judged until we have actually played through the content, I am not going to prematurely badmouth the expansion just because something I badly wanted to hear wasn't mentioned (yet). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both sPvP and WvW offer different flavours of PvP, anyone who is interested in PvP can do those. Adding Open World PvP will immediately ruin open world by plauging it with players who can't do well in proper PvP game modes trying to stroke their bruised ego by ganking and griefing other players.

Raolin Soulherder.3195 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Yea, I didn’t catch the stream, but after watching the trailer, it felt kinda meh, & OP’s list confirms it. Hardly a glimpse of anything, & it was a bunch of random. We waited 3 extra months for that?? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
