Popular Post Luclinraider.2317 Posted July 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) Their big features are a mount.....you know....something we've had multiple times in a patch already...... A skiff....something that already exists as mount...this isn't a new feature. And, Fishing.....something that is literally a patch....about as big and feature heavy as our sitting in chairs patch. The only thing that seems new is specializations....so we have a one feature expansion with the rest being patch content. People leaving WoW in mass and multiple new MMO's coming out, GW2 needed to deliver a reason to come to our game...instead they told everyone to steer clear because they charge expansion prices for patch content. What were they thinking? Also, it's true, there could be tons more they are holding back on....but if this is the case then they need a new Marketing Director. Whoever did the PoF reveal needs to be brought back. Otherwise, there just isn't enough content here to warrant a full expansion and the price that comes with.

Faridah.8431 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I think the thing here is that we haven't yet heard about the rest of the expansion in terms of features and gameplay. This was literally called a "first look". Guess we'll see if that ends up being true or not. 21 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you honestly believe that is all that will be in this expansion? I do have to admit though that having 3 of 5 stated mastery lines being devoted to mounts/fishing is a little disappointing though. 11 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually kind of absurd you would conclude it's a $30 patch based on this. From what I heard, everything I would expect from a GW2 expansion is in there, based on already have 2 expansions behind us. But even if you are right ... what I said is still true. You don't think it's worth it, don't buy it. Nothing to complain about ... just don't buy it. Edited July 27, 2021 by Obtena.7952 27 5 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChronoPinoyX.7923 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 How many threads are you gonna open over the same topic? Last I checked this game is going strong to the point that it's prequel is still kicking, so I have no idea what you're on about this game shutting down in a year... 16 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many threads do you need to make about the same thing? 2. "Just a patch"? Yes, you'll need to download it, just like you'd download a patch, it will be bigger though. Technically a patch, just like any other expansion 🙃 3. How can you say what "fishing literally will be" when you know nothing about it? 4. What exactly did you expect there?

Mizuira.8245 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 This expansion is a joke. Nothing really new, any content with replayability and even story gives less hype than HoT/PoF...

I mean, this is literally you judging content of an upcoming expansion you have never experienced based on the production value of a previous expansion reveal. You realize how absurd that is right?

That's what I was expecting..... I think you are being purposely obtuse here. PoF was revealed in a far different manner than either HoT before it or EoD today, a reflection of how the studio was run at each given time. The EoD reveal was literally just called the "First Look" which implies much more to still be revealed between now and February which is half a year away.

You have seen literally nothing of the elite specs, the story, the maps besides a peek and some information here and there, the two undisclosed mastery trees... you must be trolling. 20 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loboling.5293 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I'll be honest, A-Net has a habit of selling a story in a way it seems like a lot more is coming, when it really isn't. We need to accept a few things: 1) New Maps are coming with EOD 2) 3/5 of the Masteries have been revealed. (Fishing, War Turtle, Boats) 3) There is still 2 more Masteries to be revealed, with new ones usually being added with every patch. So more to come. 4) New elite specs are coming to the game. (Being revealed every few weeks) 5) A-Net seems to think that players still care about the story after IBS. (Maybe like GoT, they sort of forgot they butchered much of their lore...) 6) "They haven't forgotten WvW" 😂🤣 I'm actually really excited for EoD, but only because of the delays and bringing back some good people to lead the show. A-Net has been like a chicken without a head for a while, with how they produce content. Not dissing much of the team, as I think they continue to produce polished content, even if that content makes very little sense narratively, or if the elite specs they make just break most of the game... I hope we don't see a repeat of PoF style specs. Mirage and Scourge especially were design nightmares, with Firebrand not far behind. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came from World Of Warcraft - and before the kitten show that is currently going on over there, Blizzard has not delivered and you are paying a monthly fee. How you can complain about a one time payment... i don't get it 10 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crono.4197 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) Ah, the doom and gloom people are back. Predicting the end of Guild Wars 2 since 2012. "The expansion doesn't have the features I wanted, it means the game will die!!" 30 dollars for a one time payment is good. And you forget other games ask you more money + monthly subscription.
