I have been playing Guild Wars for almost as long as it has been out. I own any and everything that NCSoft has allowed people to buy that involves Guild Wars, so I like the game a lot. I expected a lot out of this game but I feel that it fell short. First of all, the big seller for this game was going to be new armor, weapons, and bridging the gap between GW 1 and GW 2. The story line is nice and enjoyable. I feel that Guild Wars turned out great for that. My complaints come with the armor, weapons, and titles.
The armor is a big loss. There is not much new about it. Most of the armor looks like other armors. You have to play for a very long time before you are allowed to buy it and then the fact that it costs so much, you have to save everything you get and that within itself will take a long time since earning money in Guild Wars takes so long.
The weapons are nice so far, a lot of them use skins from previous campaigns but there are a few new ones.
The titles are fun but not worth earning except for the armor which more and more people are complaining about as they get the capability to purchase it. The titles that you earn are only usable in the area they are earned in. An example: Earning the Norn title only helps and benefits one that uses the Norn title in the Norn lands. If you leave the lands to say... anywhere, the blessing from the title is no longer allowed. My problem with this is that this game does not benefit any of the other campaigns much. I thought that it would be beneficial to benefit the players that all ready play the game by offering blessings or skills that can be used outside of Eye of the North.
The skills earned are usable, but just as the other PvE only skills; they are short lived and easily forgotten. There is not much need to have PvE only skills if people won't even use them in PvE because the skills are more of a wasted slot than a benefit to the game.
I have heard from some players that GW should not make the game have capabilities to be easier because it might then be too easy and become boring. Well, I thought that was why Hard Mode was intoduced so that players that thought GW was too easy for them would have more of a difficult time playing?
All in all, GWEN turned out to be a nice expansion to teach us all about the story line. The problem is that the "special features and new material" turned out to not be very impressive. I feel that GW has let a lot of people down in that way and I do not believe that GWEN will be as remembered as Prophecies or Nightfall.
Not so pleased with GW:EN, dissapointed even.

I just can't believe the amount of people complaining over how the freaking armour looks. Who gives a crap? Except for the vain, of course.

Prepare for flames from fanboys who have nothing but "if you don't like it don't play it" forgetting that you paid $40+ for it. Anet screws up. I know it's amazing, but the fanboys have to get over the fact that the game isn't perfect and plenty of people have tons of legit complaints.
wolfwing
The armour complaints are valid...I think many would like some really nice armour to showcase their chars with.

Most people do actually. That is why there are so many different sets of armor in Guild Wars. ArenaNet knows its customers, and clearly you do not. I guess that makes everybody vain then.
Kinn
Eh, I don't give a hoot about the armour, anything more expensive than Drok's is a waste of money in my opinion. I don't find farming or power selling fun. The little money I do save up goes on real stuff like elite tomes or weapon mods.
That said, I'm dissappointed with GW:EN's lack of challenge when just running a cookie-cutter hero/hench setup. For some reason Anet chose to push PvE towards a primarily single-player experience. This is a highly flawed concept, when you, the player, are just one in a team of 8, and with the right hero/hench setup you can pretty much C-Space then AFK through most mobs, because now with more hero combinations possible and better henchman skillbars, 7 AI and you doing nothing is still pretty sodding powerful.

Lol, 10-15k armour is a waste of money, but you'll pay about the same for an elite skill tome when you can get the skill yourself for 1k? Right...

It would be nice if some MOD could take all these CRY ME A RIVER threads and merge them all together. It's becoming nothing but forum litter at this point.

You're oversimplifying things. Those who crave good looking armours, I think, are driven by a deep-seated psychological need. As young boys, they weren't allowed to play with dolls, because societal expectation, even through that's what they really wanted. GW gives them a chance now to fulfill this long-repressed desire, in a context that doesn't call into question their sexuality. It's liberating and healthy.

I'm doing that right now as I type this. Grinding for asura points is no fun at all so I figure i'll let the ai do the work for me.

Yeah you're right. 10k is too much. I guess it's more cost-effective for me to just spend the next month ploughing my brand new necro through the Prophecies campaign so I can cap Aura of the Lich.
Cheers for the tip

There are plenty of legitiment things to complaign about in GW:EN, but armor isn't one of them.

GW:EoN is one boring grindfest in summary. Highly dissapointed here also. It just doesn't feel exciting at all.

That is one of the funniest things I have read in a while. Thank you Zubrowka!
I would like to add to this that I care about the armor because I do dress my characters up and I like it. If I am going to spend hours looking at my characters, I want them to look good.

Thats fine for your first character, but if you like to play them all , it gets very tiring and very tedious very fast.
At the very most I will choose one of my other professions to take through , but just like factions, the compulsory grinding turns me off completely.
Personally I am presuming that they are trying to keep people occupied in the game by requiring the grinding, so that they dont leave Guild wars and play other things before GW2.
All I can say is I will only update one of the four main accounts I use, and Anet lost $90 of my money by doing what they did.
You only need to have 1000 more like me out of the millions that play to see they lost $90,000 or more from their game play design.

It's a great expansion. I don't know where everybody is getting the impression of a so-called "grind", the expansion only came out just last weekend, and people are already complaining they can't get the high-end armors because they can't reach r5 Reps in just a few days...
Angelica
If the "grind" is only required to get new armours ..... well it is fine by me because, I don't care much about armours.
What I have already satisfy my vanity and, if I really want a new one, I will have plenty of time to get it!
What I noticed in EotN is the scarcity of drops, even white one! No gold coins either, and the purple items you get from chests are #@@%##!!! Not worth the cost of lokspick.
I reached the conclusion that I'll be never surprised/pleased by a really nice drops again. Pity tho.
I think GW-EotN is a beautifull game with breathtaking scenaries, it makes me feeling the same way as the first time I started Prophecies in pre-searing!

You seem to forget that PvE skills rely on that Rep also. I'm sure you meant to say that before you put your foot in your mouth.

I think if I wanted to see breathtaking pictures I'd go to an art museum. Games are about playing and, in the rpg case, advancing your character in different ways. SO the logic of scenery doesn't really cut it for me.

Not logic, it's difference of opinion. I think sceneries, gameplay and just about every factor in a game are all just as important. A little bit of shit is all it takes to ruin a barrel of whine.

I don't play GW for hours upon hours a day. I play to enjoy the game. When the game turns into a grind, I usually find something else to do. This is the reason I do not play WOW or other games like it. GW bills itself as a non grind game in the past. This has changed. You may not look at it as a grind, and for you it is not. I respect that.
For me, I look at $40 wasted. I have 1 character through the game to ensure I was accurate in my descriptions. For me, I am. It was a waste or time and money. The FUN value is not there for me. I will not take my other characters through the game, no reason when I can get all the skills I want right in the beginning. As for the titles, I have no desire to even try for them. Heros? I have plenty of them already, why bother going through and opening up even more? Play areas, well, I have already said enough in other posts about that and how disapointing they are. Chests that require lock picks? I think I will take my chances on hard mode, better drops that are more useful. So, with all of that said, I will not be playing EON as it sucks to me. It is not FUN, has no useful skills that I can't live without, is a waste of time in grinding that I swore I would never do again in a game. I look forward to GW2 as from what I am being told is being done by the Prophecies/Nightfall team. I hope this is true as both were fine products that I felt I would pay a whole lot more for the fun I get. This expansion is disapointing. The graphics are great and I look forward to DX10 graphics in GW2. See you in the other 3 areas as this is where I will be. Where the game is fun and I enjoy myself. Just one quesiton for you that I asked in another thread, do you work for ANET? Asking only as you support the whole game completly without seeing any flaw that I have seen you post about.

I already had my share of grind... for my Fow armor. Grind isn't fun, but its a synonym for "work", as anything we wan't in life takes some "Grinding" to get to. We go to work, we grind, and it overloads on us when we become fixed on the goal that we forget to just take a chill pill, and relax. It's not a competition... that's PvP, and this... is PvE. Everything you can achieve for will always be there, and it's the rush to be #1 ASAP that's whats sending us to the battlefields 3 am in the morning. When the game becomes work, we need to take a break from the break itself.

They have to try it out for themselves to be the judge. If you ask me, I say it's worth the money, but neither of us can indoctrinate that opinion on anyone else.

Well, this game has been out for 4-5 days. Based on the initial half-thought reactions towards Nightfall and Factions, I'd say that we'd expect everything that was said in all threads like these become totally irrelevant in about a month. What a bore...

Whether they do it in 2 days or 20 days, the total amount of real time spent actually doing the repetitive mob grinding is the same, so I don't see how that is relevant.

If I didn't have anythign good to work towards (like armour) I'd just stop playing, and I know a lot of people are just like me. If enough of us stopped playing it simply wouldn't be economically viable to even keep GW running anymore, so honestly, making crappy armour was a REALLY bad move...

because killing 10,000 monsters in 4 days will feel more like a grind than killing 100,000 monsters over the course of 4 weeks, doing dungeons, finishing missions, and doing random quests.
If you're grinding for the sake of grinding, then there's no way around it, but most of the stuff that requires you to grind are not time sensitive, nor are they so mandatory. It's when you're rushing to get something are you forced to sit down, ignore everything else, and just do that boring thing. Why the rush? Vlaamse Leeuw

Bonuses from titles : FAIL Hall of monuments : FAIL (not necessary at all) Story of GWEN : OK New weapons skins : OK Droprate : BIG FAIL That's the reason I quoted the post bove. Used about 50 lockpicks by now and oh boy, big OMG feeling. Wellcounted 6 crappy Golds, old skins btw, rest purple crap. 1.5k for 1 key too get totally crap....

Some peeps are disappointed in armors, some in titles, well I can understand that, after 2 years gameplay its hard too make something fresh and new but damn for Christs sake they can surely work on droprates. They changed dropsystem so that money is harder too get, but with droprates for weapons like this the price too pay if U want such item isn't low either. Some peeps will laugh now and think, dude just use a bot. Well I am not laughing,I dont use bots or have every day free too play. Asking around in our guild, I figured out most of the guy's were complaining too about the droprates and I bet a lot more peeps.

I've got to say, that is one impressive run on sentence. But if I read your post right, I think I agree with you. People like to play RPGs to experience the story, advance their characters, feel the hero, and gather awesome loot from beating up on bad guys. The story in Guild Wars I so-so, there is no character advancement (which we were told would happen in GW:EN), you don't feel the hero because you are so dependent on other people, and they keep taking away more and more loot. The armor in GW:EN could have been the greatest armor that they had come up with yet, but unless you are lucky enough to find a "rare weapon" and then even luckier to find a buyer or just like to power trade, you can't get the money to get the new armors. |
