Anyone else bored?

I've played one character completely through Nightfall and another about halfway and I'm just bored with it now. Is anyone else experiencing this? With the farming nerfs, AI nerfs, and now it seems there are fewer chests in zones, I just don't have any incentive to continue playing this game. I have eight more characters and there's no way I'm playing them through. The new AI and stuff was fun the first time through, but there's I have no desire to continue playing now. I have several guildmates who feel the same way, just wanted to see if we were the only ones.

Sort of bored, yes. What I'd normally do is farm but like you said, farming isn't possible. I did chest runs which were painfully dull - good loot - but boring.

A new elite area is scheduled between now and Christmas but until then, weekend events would be fun (like the double dyes, triple greens).

i belive this can best be put into light with a reference to diablo 2..

that game is STILL around.. and i dont know how old it is.. but i do know why it is still around. farming.

people love to farm for super rare items. it keeps people goin.. thus when they released the nerfs and updates and nightfall.. a huge group of folks.. stoped playing this game.. the farmers..

i do not know what anet is intending to do with all the changes and such.. but here is a very simple fact..

if they want to make gw last they need to do somthing different..

people are not gonna stick around very long after a chapter is released if the gameplay is anything like this.

nightfall is a KICKASS game.. maybee content wise better than prophecies..

but sadly even that is not stopping the game from getting boring only a few weeks into its launch...

in prophecies there was so much to do even after you beat the game.. farming was only one side.. running all the places like droks and grotto was another. buying and selling was another..

all these "side" aspects are being killed by the devs wanting a better storyline.. but i really think they dont understand that a storyline is only good a few times through.. hell i havent payed attention to either of factions or nightfalls storyline.. but im just a farmer

i guess what i am getting at here is.. ya story is great and all.. but they are KILLING any long term intrest.. and it only gonna get worse with upcoming chapters.. how many people are gonna be willing to quest for another six months before the next chapter comes out?

even skillcapping is being effected.

i for one completly agree with the opps post..

and in the opps deffence because i know some jackasses are gonna get on and say something lame like "stop bitching" or somthing..

this is a legit question.. and a great one at that.. so lets try to make this as good a thread as we can.

yea as soon as i did the mainland 2 times and got my derv and paragon off the nooby island it got a little too repetative, but hey look at the bright side, factions was worse, only we had sumthing to do when we were done, farm

Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be around to see that Christmas update unless things get fixed. It's just pointless.

I'm bored right now mostly because I've been playing way too much since nf came out. I'm gonna go back to Tyria now or either stop playing for a while, getting 3 chars through NF in a short time can make you hate this game (same with any other game though).

Yea i kinda bored of it atm, am playing mtw 2 its fun

I hope, by that, you're not critically ill.

If you're fed up you can always return when the new stuff crops up.

this game has unlimited possiblities, the onyl reason you are bored is you haven't explored guildwars to its full potential

its been almost 18 months ive been playing guildwars..i just finished nightfall storyline yesterday with my paragon, but i wont do it again...yes im bored as hell and i agree with Narutoscryed. Farming was one of the things i liked alot
it is still possible but...i dont know its different than before...i wish that i could forget all i know about guildwars and become a noob so i can enjoy it again....or maybe go back in time wen prophecies was first released...yes the game has greatly improved since then but there is somethig that i miss alot and i have no idea what it is.And something that i noticed with nighfall is that the social in Gw is diying...but thats my opinion...Back on topic: Yes im bored.

And you know this how? I've been playing almost from day one. I've been in a top 50 GvG guild, been in PvE guilds, completed Prophecies and Factions with all characters, farmed, penis spiked, you name it I've done it. Don't assume.

yeah you should focus on pvp or focus on getting titles.... If u get really bored you can go for defender of ascalon title, wich is getting to lvl 20 in pre.. (wich is really hard now) you can go to www.xoohq.com and read a guide about that

Rofl at people not clever enough to farm after the update...QQ...

And GW is essentially the same game as when Prophecies was released, of course you'll get bored sooner or later. Just take a break.

I have no interest in attaining more titles. That has to be as boring if not more boring than pushing all ten characters through Nightfall.

you can still go for Fow armor or something.. if u havent already

Whew, you flew through that lol. I would take a break if you're bored.

Ok first of all I don't farm so I can't see some of the posters point of view. But, is farming totally screwed or isn't there a way to create a different farming build? I've read this forum a Lot so I've read many posts about popular farming builds not working now, but I can tell some of you are really serious gamers so it seems that if it is possible you'd find a way to work around the nerfs and create a new farming build.

Personally I enjoy playing some of my favorite missions over and over with pugs. A few of the last Tyrian missions normally have great drops and plenty of chests. Have you (the bored ones) tried playing any missions for drops and gold items? I've gotten many sup vigors and great gold items monking Thunderhead Keep.

I realize people play the game the way they enjoy it and getting tons of plat and greens and 15k armor is what's most important to some gamers, but do you think you could enjoy playing through your favorite missions or creating new builds or helping guildies through missions/quests?

I'm not against farmers and I've read that many farmers find farming relaxing or exhilarating. I was just curious if you have really tried to find other ways to have fun after you've beaten each new game.

Got it already. That was actually very fun to work for, but will never be again because of the nerfs.

I'm getting bored, too.
Gone through the complete campaign with my Paragon and my Dervish is just half through, only because I play it just with my guild. After our guildteam has finished the story, the boredom will fill me completely :/

What shall I do?
Clearing an explorable/mission again?
Doesn't pay off, my Paragon found two (!) golden and equippable items and no greens while playing through the complete game normally and if things go the same way like in factions the quality of drops will just go down, not up.

Farming?
Enjoyed famring in very small portions, like two or three ettinruns a day, when waiting for friends to go online. But farming isn't supported by Anet anymore, even if new grounds to farm are discovered, they will be nerfed fast.

Getting PvEs ready for PvP?
PvE-characters are subpaar and worthless in PvP thx to the vastly improved PvP-creation and the high factiongains.

Playing PvP?
Gets old at the same rate as the campaign and without being able to build up PvE-chars for PvP it's not the real fun. I really hate it that ANet more and more transforms GW into a fantasy counterstrike with a point&click adventure added to it. Also the class and skillbalance are completely...erm...I'd call it broken.

Going for Titles?
Most will require insane amounts of gold (drunkard/treasure/...) and even more time, that's the ultimate grind...but with no reward. Nobody really grinds for nothing. It's either to get an advantage of some kind or for profit.

Playing the campaigns with all classes?
There is a limit on the amounts of characters you can get through all campaigns until you start hating each map. Different numbers for everybody, but I definately won't get my ten toons through all campaigns. With the next campaign it will get even worse.

Playing to chat with other peoples?
Most of the time the local chat can just be turned off...poor community

Solutions that would keep me a customer?

-make PvE-Chars playable in PvP again
-put the instancesystem to use by implementing randomly generated quests with rewards like a random gold when finishing, something like in anarchy online, where the mission terminals gave you quests after paying a fee and you got an item and cash as reward.
-remove the goldcosts of skills at the skilltrainer
-reimplement funny gimmicks, something like the skillcharms/rings
-maybe let rpg-chars use unlocked skills for their secondary without buying them
-random spawns of mosnters in explorable areas (size, type, classmixture, position and skills of mobs), would result in a less predictable experience, currently it's always and everywhere the same mobs in the same locations...just with very few exceptions
-more different victoryconditions in PvP.

Just some thoughts...

Edit: forgot to mention, another major annoyence is the implemention of "new" skills for the six core professions with every campaign. If the coreclasses shall be playable with each chapter as standalone then make the skills core skills. Three versions of heal area? Crazy...and doesn't add to the game.

Bored? Then go take a break. Go do something else. Anything. And then later if you feel like playing then come back. The great thing about GW is that you're not wasting money if you take some time off.

Not sure what the point of this thread is though....
