Guild Wars 2

Unfortunately with there being no end game not many people hang about after reacing 80 I went on the other day and the guild I was in which was once very busy had been disbanded.

Such a shame, it has nearly everything going for it for an MMO apart from nothing to do when you get to level 80, fractals and stuff just aren't enough to keep you playing and they are very frustrating to complete.
 
Great eh, more boring Scarlett ****. All that is is a feeble attempt to distract the player base from the fact that there is no end game content and no expansion on the foreseeable horizon by drip-feeding us the same tired old things wrapped in a different bow.
 
Haven't touched it for 2 years. I mean to get back to it, but there's something about GW2 that bores me to death, and I just don't quite know what it is :)

I love the first GW, I thought it was more focused (small skill bar, instanced group, very specialised classes and roles). I miss playing my monk. GW2 is too MMO for me. Too many things to do, too anarchic, too much farming, crafting and distractions. I just haven't got the time nor the patience for it. But it's definitely a very, very well crafted game, and well worth the money if that's the kind of games you are looking for.

Yeah but all they did was replace it with worse tedious crap and then didn't give us anything to do once we had done all the tedious crap.

agreed, end game was absolutely shocking. people just ran round in massive groups doing the top level events to grind gold/items = Pointless.

and to be honest most of the game was structured in a pretty bad way.

GW1 was an incredible game and I stopped playing it literally 6 months before GW2 beta. The beauty of GW1 is that 99% of the quests you could find a group to do it with EVEN so late in its life, and it was just fun to mess about on for a few hours a night. GW2 is just so ****ing boring, christ even TERA held my attention more and thats an epic korean grind fest.

Agreed - GW1 I put in about 1200 hours, 800 of those with a monk who must be about 9 years old now?!

I love being the saviour and protector of my party in GW1 by being a highly skilled solo monk. People appreciated you and it freed up a slot for an extra damage class

Last few Scarlet events have been really good. The whole Tower of Nightmares thing was very good.

Anyway, only 4 updates to go until the end of Scarlet one way or another as the story wraps up the first week of March.

And they are apparently pulling out the stops over the next few updates to make them as epic as possible.

Then mid-March there's going to be a huge Quality of Life and rebalancing patch before the next phase of the living story kicks in.
 
Have about 2k hours clocked in on Guild Wars and bought this game a couple days ago.

Levelling seems really slow, and I'm always finding myself way behind my storyline level-wise, even after doing the side-quests and occasional events.

Anyone got any levelling tips? I'm a level 19 Asuran Necro.
 
I haven't played it for quite some time but I always mixed in some arena PvP whilst leveling up, I'm sure that gave some nice added XP ?
 
Is anybody playing on Fissure of Woe? I've been playing off and on for about a year and am looking to really start playing properly again.

Just constantly explore. Never 'grind' on monsters, it doesn't get you anywhere. Try to get 100% completion in each map section, if it starts getting too hard move to a different races starting area where things will be low levelled, join in any events you see (orange circles). My girlfriend and I just started playing together as she finally got her own PC and we both got to level 18 over a weekend (Saturday afternoon-Sunday evening).
 
Got back into this recently after purchasing it at launch, and not getting too far with it.

New Engineer at 60 and am loving it. Bought the supporting books and am quite lost in the story and amazing surroundings. It's the best looking PC game for me, I am often left gob-smacked examining the scenery.
