OK this maybe seen as a rant but what I say is thought by more than just me.
First is the Armours, they are (bar a couple [Norn Ranger for instance]) re-skins of exsisting armours. Did ANet really think that we wouldn't notice? Asura armour looks like a remake of Kurzick Armour And the Norn have gone all braveheart with the woad. What really annoys me is that to get any of these armour you need to rank upto Rank 5! Thats 26,000 points in any of the titles and unless your willing to grind for a long time that ain't coming soon. Now think of doing that with EVERY character you want to get the armour with... But ANet was finished insulting us there! Here are the Heroes:
Now you no where all the good armour went...
My next gripe is that Lack of a Hard mode. I actually e-mailed ANet about this and the reply I got was "Due to the high level of the monsters in the game we would need to make them about lvl 30+ to make a Hard Mode." This amybe fair enough but the fact I've gone through two areas already with just Heroes and Hench I wouldn't say it was that tough.
Collector Items. Well these are just plain stupid to be hounist. Yes I agree they are cool but they are stupidly "priced".
I mean 75 Ectos for something that is simply going to make your hands glow?
I just really feel that ANet have lost touch with gamers. I mean the game isn't difficult, it isn't that fun and the amount of time it takes to grind is unbearable so I say poo to you ANet!
ANet lost touch.

I will admit that if they give great armour for hero's why can't they give the rest of us good?

I can't wait for this on a Gaile log;
We have seen that players want new armor in GWEN, we are working on that now!"
Don't worry, we will see it,
And for the grind, go clear 3 zones and do some quests NOT HARD AT ALL!!

You people who say grinding to rank 5 is soooo easy are being ridiculous. How many of you have jobs? How many of you have to take care of kids yourself? I'm a part time student and have a full time job. I cant sit at a computer for 10 hrs straight, 2 days in a row. One of the reasons I bought GW:EN was for the new armor, but as a casual player, I dont even have the time to get it. Finishes the story in GW:EN is faster than getting rank 5 for armor. That makes NO sense to me at all.
And the argument "You don't have to get it" is such a juvinelle rebutal. I spent $40 on this game, new armor was advertised, days worth of grind for new armor wasn't. The way GW:EN is right now, if I could, I'd return it for my money back and buy bioshock, like I should have. It is lacking in real content.

I do have to wonder what moron decided that putting all their art resources into really attractive hero armors while taking a giant shit on the player armors was a good idea. I would hope that person is no longer receiving a paycheck from Arena.net.
Seriously, who made the final decision on that? They should be fired so it doesn't happen in GW2. Most of the retextured combos dont even look good together. I almost hope GWEN get's bad reviews, just so they might actually fix this screw up.

It was called questing to get armor before. You know... doing missions to get to where the armor is. Not going around doing the same repetitive stuff for hours and hours. The main story of GWEN is SHORTER than the the amount of time needed to grind for armor. Does that not seem like BS to you?
street peddler
the armor for heroes is better because they cant take it off, they cant mix and match, and they cant dye it. So this means anet can make it as nice as they want without worrying about problems stemming from the above things.
GloryFox
Although, not everything of GWEN sucks. There are somethings that are just bad design issues like they had in Factions (I wonder if that was the same team who did GWEN).
The major things are.
1) Grind - I don't care how you look at it. ANET has changed its policy of Skill over Grind to Grind over skill.
2) HoM Valor - The weapons that my character currently has are the best there are. Gold with the right perfect mods for the right builds. Another Option should be the option of setting Green items in placeholders. Any perfect weapon with perfect mods should count towards this completion.
3) Armor reskins - That was sad of you ANET, NO HERO of mine should have better looking armor than me. Also you could have done some great armor sets that were all Magma or all Chaos or All crystal, etc. You chose NOT to do it.
4) PvE skill nerfs - Fact is you had over 4 months to public test these skills after release. Why now? You were so afraid of making your game easy so you nerfed the two best passive skills in the game. If your game was THAT HARD why did people who did not use these skills still beat the game in 13 hours or less? PvE only skills were for PvE fun, did you forget the fun aspect of the game? Also if you thought they were overpowered just don't use em. Set your own challenge.
5) No new guild Halls - nuff said
6) No new PvP - even though its right there in front of you. You could have had PvP Polymock arenas even timed Solo Norn Fight arenas where you gain faction or money for every random consecutive wins. You could have had another type of PvP team based Aspenwood CTF using Siege Devourers and such. You had all kinds of possibilities, but missed it.

Please. Making the models for armor is not that hard. Even if they just started with an already existing mesh and played with it. They dye thing is a lame excuse, it wouldnt be hard to change the color of the texture for each dye color. Heck, they retextured a bunch of old armors anyways.
Have they worried about clipping with mixing and matching before? Doesn't seem like it, since a lot of combos can create clipping issues.

Wow, if you don't like the game, don't play it. If you don't like the armor, don't get it.
I'm actually ENJOYING the game. I'm having fun with new goals to reach. People need to quit acting like 12 year olds. Oh wait, they are.

1. Yes, I am complaining that most of the armors are bad, or just reskinned random combos of existing armor. Where is the new content? If the end game weapons are just reskins.
2. Yes, I'm moaning that I have to grind for armors. Repetition for hours is not fun for me. Do they assume I like watching paint dry? Some I like (dervish monumental armor for instance). It's not the time needed to aquire it, its how that time is spent. I dont find hours of repetition fun. If it was time spend questing and doing missions to get to the area where the new armor is (like they've done in the past) I would be fine with it.

Because attacking people and not their argument is really mature. There's parts of GW:EN I like, there's a lot I dont, like I said, I paid for it, I can't return it, I'm going to complain about what I dont like. At least this way people on the fence about buying it can read other peoples opinons, good and bad, and make an educated decision. wolfwing
Okay to all you whiners about grinding. 1-2 hours a day, clearing a few zones you get the armour in less then a week, heck you could be just now finishing one of the armours.
But let me understand, grinding to get 26k reputation is bad, but grinding to get ehcto's/materials/gold isn't? You had to have already spent hours days weeks farming to be able to get some of this armour even if your doing something easy like Wurm farming.

It's been confirmed they are working on a Hard Mode version of GW:EN, but just like the other Hard Modes, it will take a little time. Though I do agree with the hero armor being better than our armor. Hell, I would pay 10000000k (well maybe not that much) for the Hero's Necromancer armor. My Necro just wants to wear latex!

God, yes. 20 second recharge on TNtF? At 10 second recharge it was hard to keep up indefinitely anyway because it's friggin 15 energy!
Anyway, that's really what pissed me off the most. But the armors are a close second. It was actually shocking to me that they just rather blatantly reskinned them. ANet has some sickeningly FANTASTIC artists working for them.. or at least they used to! This makes me think they fired their concept teams or something! If not, then what the heck. Would it have costed Anet too much to get a few more designs made? Did they fire all their modelers? Is the president of Anet's kid a texture artist? What am I supposed to think, other than ANet didn't want to dish out a few extra bucks for new designs? As an aspiring concept artist myself, it just makes me shake my I head. My female warrior is especially upset. The reskin of the combo 1k and 15k templar armor is especially embarrassing.
Strider Howlfang
The reason I'm having to spend the few hours I have per day grinding is because I DO wan't one of the armours. I want the Norn one for my Ranger but I don't want to spend what precious time I have in game fighting though all the areas killing everything over and over. The vast majority of the armours suck (I think pretty much everyone will say that) but for the one that doesn't I have to grind out for about 30 minutes a day (because I want to actually get through the game as well) and I don't think that is fair on the casual gamer one bit.
Takuna
I remember looking in the concept art booklet and thinking, "Why didn't they leave the assassin Elite Imperial like that? While it's good as it is, I prefer it that way."
Now they've brought it back as the Asura armour. I am very happy. The dwarven one? That's no rip-off... However, yes, the assassin's hero's swords look incredible. :P I REALLY want them. Boris De Pig
I'm still of the opinion that requiring 26k points to buy the armour is an attempt to stave off e-bay gold buyers and farming bots.
Can't be bothered to farm some cash, well just get out your credit card and wait for the delivery, elite armor is yours in no time. Can't be bothered farming some points? Ah, well then, looks like you don't get the armour. After completing the primary quest arc on my warrior, and doing a few of the side quests he's got about 18k points. I've not intentionally gone out farming hard to get the points on him, so there are plenty that you can get. Also, dungeon crawling is pure win. Crawl the dungeon, get the reward, trade your book in for title points (2,500per I believe). Some might see dungeon crawling as 'grind' but for me it's a lot of fun (and lots of free dwarf points along the way). BdP wolfwing
Yeah dwarf will be the slowest to gain, but the easiest since your going to probably be dungeon spelunking anyway.
As mentioned before too, your probably going to get 14-18k for each faction just doing the storyline, I didn't really farm Asura, but I did kill alot along the way through areas, and explored a bit and made sure to go to each shrine and I ended up with about 15k.

Heh I still need to get the final map piece for that.
Question, has anyone found the map pieces anywhere except Norn? I have like 10 extras in total for the other 3, but still no last piece. And not seen any since I started, not even heading to Charr lands through the norn lands. acidic

recycled Armors
recycled Mobs recycled NPCs recycled Pets recycled ideas from other game HoM deny those high-end weapons like DoA we got before EotN Custumized Minis rather than account-custumized. It seems: wait Guild Wars 2 ,you dude! vergerefosh
Would prefer R1,2,3 for the stuff, as it's all obtainable through gameplay, possible exception to dwarf as not going to reach that point until end game, so more likely to have more points, so R2,3,4 or the current system could work there. Picked up 12k points going through dungeons etc just this weekend

Ok, so by your own admission it takes roughly 20 hours (2 days, 10 hours) to obtain the armor. Others have said it weighs in somewhere between 7-28. Where's the problem? Do you want it right out of the gate?
Even logging seven hours a week (which seems to be the low-to-average end for casual players) will get you the armor in anywhere from a week to a month. Is that too long?
Remember, this expansion is designed for characters who are already level twenty and (assumably) already have max armor. Having or not having this armor will not hamper you in the game. This is armor to WORK for.
As an assde, I remember how long it took me to get max armor in Prophecies and that HAD a mechanical advantage.

Nothing is stopping you from getting your armor as advertised. You just can't have it right away. That would be Burger King. Obsidian armor is obscenely expensive, but obtainable. It just takes time (or sadly, wealth.) This way takes time too, you just can't buy your way to your armor, you have to earn it. If your concern is not having max armor, its obtainable obscenely fast in any the Chapters (though Prophecies is the slowest one) you're required to have in order to play the expansion. Stay in there, you may not get it right away, but its easily enough to get in in a short amount of time. Zahr Dalsk

Well, I suppose their reply is proof that they have not actually played Eye of the North yet, seeing as it's difficulty is around that of the Wajjun Bazaar / Bukdek Byway area of Kaineng in Factions... I suppose when they said it was intended as a challenge to existing high level characters they were talking about the hours needed to grind for titles, not the actual difficulty (or should I say, easiness) of the game itself.

Honestly, I'm most pissed off about how easy this game was. When I read the hype reports from mags and the internet, I heard 3 acts, and it sounded cool. It sounded like we'd get a TON of new stuff to do. Instead, we get 3 very short segments that hardly explain anything we'd like to know and a fairly small game. The dungeons are also lacking as many simply use a single level from another dungeon(I'm looking at you Secret Lair of the Snowmen!) Also, I'm P.O'ed at the claim you "witness the birth of the silvari".. PFT a 2 second cameo of a tree TOTALLY counts. The armor sucks, but the weapons are cool, but bugged.

 They kind of remind me of Dxun in KotOR2.

No job at the moment, but I have to spend 11 hours at my college every day. I was still able to get my Norn armor much faster than 20 hours. After the preview event (a weekend I spent moving to a new apartment, I might add), I needed only 6,000 points more to hit 26,000 and was able to get that in a mere two hours clearing Varajar Fells... Two hours playing the game, collecting loot, trying out new skills and having fun. If you want to call it a grind, there's always Droknar's Forge armor.

All I have to say with these rep grinds is that they are not that bad. Get WoW, get to lvl 60+ start all those rep grinds, then come back here and say all these rep grinds are horrible.
Although the amour and such are kinda disappointing, although I have a feeling everybody is starting to get moved over to GW 2 already and more weapons/amour will be added slowly just to appease everybody till GW 2. lunksunkunk
I have one thing to say and ill let the chips fall where they may.......
I work for a living, i study to make a better living, work is repetitious grind, but at least i get paid for it. The fact that i paid for a game from a already repetitious grind with money only to engage once again in repetitious grind to enjoy a product is just saddening. At least one type of grind i get paid for and make a living out of, the notion that my free time and leisure is spent engaging in another form of repetitious grind is something that i paid for makes it feel like im working all over again. Oh well, this game is going in the trash for now because i honestly have better things to do. By GW:EN, maybe ill finish you when i get a son to finish it for me when he's bored out of his mind. |
