They spend a lot of effort on setting up new systems instead of just making stuff. Living story season 1 was tied into the Story Journal, Dry Top and Silverwastes were sorts of precursors to the map rewards system and event flow used in HoT maps, collection achievements are driving a lot now, raids apparently warranted the squad UI, fractals got a re-work and new ones are now in consideration, sPvP got the league system but no new maps, and they're supposedly busy working on WvW changes. Meanwhile we can only speculate whether Colin is constantly steering the hype train in a circle through the sheer force of his radiant smile, or if the game is coded in a language that none of the current developers actually speak.

Maybe someone just needs to tell them their game is actually pretty good. They should make more of it. Honestly, they could have just said the game was feature-complete in august 2012 and I'd probably be fine with it. Stop loving around and start making content.

We already told them their game is 'pretty good' when we preordered the expansion at full price and all the gnashing of teeth here is probably a futile attempt to counteract that.

I've sunk way too many hours into the game to pretend it's not good, there's just nothing making me want to play it anymore. They didn't even really add any new armor to shoot for dressing up.

Game's aren't statically good or bad for their lifetime, it's totally fair to think that something once was good and worth your time and money, and isn't anymore.

If any new people are reading this I'll point out that the game is actually good and most of the posters here are probably sad and depressed for reasons unrelated to minor design decisions in the expansion.

Was reading the reddits and saw another useless WvW post. Chimed in on it there, will share here as well. Pretty sure everyone is aware of how broken/abandoned/neglected WvW is at this point. During the "adopt a dev" promotion our guild CERN on TC was selected as one of the winners. Welp, what we got was this douche hole https://www.linkedin.com/in/hugh-norfolk-57760963...this was right after he got promoted to WvW content design. He showed up probably twice in WvW for about 5mins each time and any other time he was online was in spvp arenas. we barely knew ye wuvwuv, may u rest in pieces.

Cao Ni Ma posted:You'd think a company the size of ANet could pump out content at a faster rate. Are they just very design/artist heavy and just lack the engineering backbone to get things done? From what can be heard said by people who have worked at Anet, it largely seems to be a organizational problem that slows down the updates to a crawl. Johnny Joestar posted:the game is still fun to whatever degree but it's really obvious that a-net is bad at managing their time or talking to people or whatever the gently caress. Basically that. Games still good but you can burn out doing the various daily stuff, of which HoT added a bunch, but these days people are spoiled by every major game being updated bi-weekly with major content and balance shakeups, so it feels weird when guildwars remains static for so long, or introduces something neat that is swiftly abandoned, or leaves a gamemode like wubwub to remain stagnant and empty for so long, or elite specs in Spvp turning it into a turtlefest not seen since release.

So are there any good levelling guides in terms of what skills are recommended while levelling? Like both what weapons are recommended and what skills to use alongside that. I know reddit's got some guides but they're all listed as outdated. Also like, are there good guides for what to do when I approach or hit 80? Like, how to gear up and what content is appropriate and poo poo like that?

I know reddit's got some guides but they're all listed as outdated. Also like, are there good guides for what to do when I approach or hit 80? Like, how to gear up and what content is appropriate and poo poo like that? I can't point you at a guide, but don't worry too much about levelling, it's really loving easy and by 80 you'll have all the skills and traits unlocked. It's actually a pretty good time to try out all the weapons and learn your skills so you're ready for 80. If you still wanna optimise it, it's fine but honestly you can't really put together much of a complete build and you'll be upgrading gear pretty frequently so it's kind of hard. In terms of gearing at 80, just wear whatever greens you can get to drop until you can get yourself into exotics. Probably prioritise weapons first. In terms of what to get, it's going to depend on the class, but I suggest picking a build from metabattle for your class. Ignore infusions and stuff, and just look at the traits and stat types it wants. If it wants some crafted poo poo, there's usually good second choices. Once you've got exotics, start jamming runes and sigils in. To get this stuff, you can get gear through dungeons and the trading post, crafting if you've levelled it, lucky drops, karma, probably a whole load of other places I'm forgetting too. If you're interested in fractals, start looking for ascended trinkets with guild missions, fractalbux and laurels. Eventually you'll probably want to look into ascended weapons and then maybe armour. Content at 80, you can always do open world stuff, but expansion content is a bit harder so you might not want to jump in until you've geared a bit. You can do dungeons with basically anything. Lower level fractals are fine, and you can start to climb once you pick up a few ascended trinkets. When you get into exotics, you're basically good for anything except raids and high level fractals. Once you get ascended weapons, you're good for basically everything except the highest fractals, which you won't have the AR for.
