I think it's getting borring too. I'm pondering weather or not to go back to CoH. I quit WoW too but even tho it's doing pretty good on the charts i still dislike it. Same endgame problem on CoH but it has a longer longevity.

It is getting repetitive. The only thing I have to really look foreward to is looking better and recruiting people for my guild.

That and trying smite runs by myself to get the challenge back in PvE.

I've had a BLAST with pvp the last few days; I almost won the hall of heroes with a randomly assembled spike group in tombs yesterday - that was one of the funnest things I've done in this game in a very long time.

Yes definately. Although I haven't gotten bored of it yet and the excitement hasn't started to fade either, I can see that eventually there will be nothing to do but pvp. Don't get me wrong, PvP is great fun, but I can't do PvP constantly, same as I can't do PvE constantly. Have to take a break and have fun with the other.

Lets hope this summer update comes through soon and is fruitful.

I feel kind of rejected by ANet...I mean, the french get a tournament before the americans? I mean, if it were koreans I would understand (seeing how they're korean based), but french? Why, ANet, why?

come to think of it, im bored too, my character is level 16 and im still at Frost Gate. For some reason, i just didn't feel like doing the mission and the damn bonus over and over again till i reach Lion Arch where i do quests and mission after mission till i get ascended. We definitly need something new to this game, whether its new character class, or new quests or even new events and storyline. They need to change the pace of this game from Mission to Town to mission! Also i'm enjoy playing the PvP side with my guild but they should put in more mode (or even custom mode) to make the PvP endless and fun to play over and over again.

I want a war.

I love the idea of PvP in this game, but unfortunately there's absolutely no motivation at all to continue to PvP...just "Oh yay, I've got this new build---I'm ub3r sweet now in PvP!" "Blue team won!" and stupid countdown timers.

I want a war that never ends, a war between two or three sides, and enviornment where all players can join and pick a side, and then wage war on the other sides towns', outposts, or just have a huge battle of like 40vs40 in some mountain terrain. No timers, no "this team won", no crap where your build and your items make the match, I want a war where you can just fight the good fight and have it mean something. I want to be able to win a battle, and watch the remaining players of the enemy force limp away as we shoot the last one down...as I turn to my left and see another enemy force coming through the valley---"get ready damnit! we've got more battles to fight!"

A never ending war between factions in a HUGE area of tyria, an enviornment with outposts and landscapes all set for the factions, and the war that takes place among them.

I know that would make me want to keep playing.

Arenanet didn't make that tournament. The french community organized it up by themself.

The organizer were:
- Proteus Fr War
- Miss Moky
- Luna Barlotti
- Sendai Lame Blanche
- Merlin Noir

SG Diffusion distributeur NCSoft France Provided 8 T-Shirts and 8 posters for the winners.

Arenanet is not letting you down. The french community have imaginations and ambitions that's all.

And good for them. Instead of moaning and whinging on an internet forum, they've actually done something about it. People here could stand to learn a thing or two from them... *Glares at several people in particular*

By the way, if you're looking for challenge in PvE, try and go solo without any skills in your bar. That's... fun... kinda...

Well i've stated before about how bored i was with this game and how when they killed farming it ruined the pve of the game. The Pvp it's ok, but gets repetative when your fighting in the same 4-5 maps (or however many i don't count). I took a break from thkis game for about a week went and played RYL (another mmorpg) kinda fun but i missed my GW (mainly my characters). Came back Played again and im back into it i guess, i been mainly focusing on coming up with different builds, different skill combos to see if i can find the ultimate pvp character. It's Fun, but i can see that too will wear thin very soon too, i might just go make a monk and level him through the game seeing as i havent made a monk yet, just secondaries. Problem is i dont want to delete a toon, oh well =/

RYL? I remember that game, I participated in the open and closed betas of both the original and the path of the emperor version of the game.

Just a shame they took a good game (original) that needed a few tweaks, and turned it into absolute and total crap. If they would've kept it like it was in the betas it would've been alright for the second version, with the high xp rates and quick lvling up through like lvl 70-80. Then when they actually release the game they make it more like the original, where it takes you two weeks to get one level. Also it doesn't help that they screwed the armor along with it, now instead of looking like a noob for 20 levels, you get to look like one for 60 levels! I did download the new game and purchased a few months to try it, to my surprise I had no wall textures when I loaded the game, had to uninstall/reinstall 3 times just to get some textures, and then I find out that their "beautiful screen effect" is to blur your entire screen.

*sigh* It used to be so fun in the original...a few bugs, no big deal, they took care of it. Then they redid it all and now it's got even more bugs, and it's not as fun.

That's when I bought GW!

And...yeah...about the RYL thing, don't like, take offense to that. Just my opinions mate.

And to actually post something related to the topic.

We CAN do something like this.

We just haven't yet, because SOME people don't sleep at night, they sit here and read forums and play games all night.

I wonder what time it is...

PieXags, That is the greatest idea that I have seen on this forum yet. To have a war that looks like it came stright out of Braveheart or something. Huge groups that have to hold a certain town or outpost and you can join in at anytime and have as many pvp or pve toons as you want on each side. A never ending battle that keeps the Guild Wars raging. None of this gvg type. Where anyone can join and u can have vast army fight with as many toons as the land can handle.

You should start a whole thread about this and see what all ideas can be made of it. You never know who is listening, maybe with this summer update they can add something like that. This would be the greatest thing that guild wars could ever do. And it seems to me that they have the perfect engine for it. Props on the great idea.

I thought developers ANet is American based? it's only NCSoft that's korean which i thought was only a distributor. But i'm still having fun guess i'm not the hardcore players cause since i've got it during the release i've finally ascended two days ago! yeah i'm slow with the game but too much outside life stuff. But I've done most of the missions on henchies my N/W. and running another character with RL friends only when they are on my M/R. But to make things interesting if i make a third to complete the skill sets i'll using PUG only, that'll make it really interesting with a E/Me. probably after all that i'll get into pvp, i still do random groups for fun to test out pvp builds but going to take it slowly no rush cause it'll be next year before an expansion comes.

But to the people that are bored, just go play another game for the time being. GW will still be here and it's not like you have to pay monthly so chill out with other stuff and come back to it when it's calling for you. That's how you should be playing this, GW isn't supposed to be an addiction like evercrack or wow. But it's a great thing to have fun with once in awhile when you have time.

PieXags, that sounds like the battle in SWG. When you get enough Rebel or Empire faction points, you can enter the open arena and freefight. IIRC you don't gain anything and you autorez, similar to UT04.

Oh believe me I've tried, there've been two threads on this in the suggestions board...both of them just died off after a couple pages. Which is odd because NOBODY disliked the idea.

You'll tend to notice that the only threads that get alot of comments are those where there's alot of arguing and flaming. If everyone likes your idea then you'll get maybe a few posts of praise but that's it.

Here's a challenge. Unlock all the skills - all of them. That should keep you busy for a year. I'm serious. It's quite a challenge. Good Luck

Yeah, I kinda agree with you all. The game is getting boring. I got all the stuff i need. godly weapons, superior runes. SUddenly, there is no meaning left in the game. One day I found myself playing CSS again. They better update the darn game, and fast. People are quitting the game as we speak.

And yeah, why did they started with the French?

Sad enough to say I'm getting bored too, all I really do now is farm just because I'm bored of the same missions over and over again. I guess I can go UW or fissure......too bad I can't dedicate 10 hours of my time to A. Find a good group to go down there B. Use the rest of that time to attempt to beat UW or fissure *coughdropsarecrapcough*.

They did not start with the French... The French did it on their own.

I enjoy my ranger, and my necro. I've unlocked all the skills for the warrior, necromancer, mesmer, and elementist on one character...and now I've unlocked all the ranger skills with another (whose secondaries both times were of those whose skills I already had)

Only skills I don't have are the monk skills, and I don't care about being a monk.

Slowly moving back to DoD. PvP in this game is alright...but I don't see how anyone can play it for a long period of time, there's just absolutely no motivation to PvP.

Well, I'm not up to my umteenth charactor or anything but this game definately has it's limitations. I cannot play for more than a couple of hours.

I often wonder if a casual players MMO or MMORPG is even possible. Any game that is good is going to be played to death and hardcore gamers can play through it really fast.

What is interesting is people who have played through the game and want to play another character tend to want to skip (or make it easier)the parts they dislike only to make the game even shorter.

If that's true, well done.

If you want a challenge I suppose you can get into PvP, get to #1 on the Ladder, get to rank 9 and a sweet tiger head fame emote and win the favor of the gods for our PvE siblings to get access to FOW and UW. If you like PvP that is.

I agree that having something to do for characters who finished the storyline would be nice. Like having more useless money sinks like the 15k armor...
Or some areas with truely random PvE encounters to keep the challenge up. Like the PvP arenas, just for PvE.

The PvP aspect could be developed further, too. Maybe more tournament houses like the HoH just with different kinds of rewards. I like the large scale war idea mentioned above, too.

PvP just doesn't get boring for me. Whether I am playing serious or just messing around with different builds in tombs it is pretty much always fun for me. PvE in guildwars is pretty easy to outsmart. The game is obviously a pvp game because of how balanced out the classes are and such. Someone posted about the french tournament I think. There is another tournament that is open to registration.
