What went so very wrong here?

40 DAYS OF TIMEGATE

For me, it was that combat felt mostly unimpactful and being forced into skills depending on your weapon made building your own personal build so much less interesting.

People got that under a week, though.

tried to copy wow and threw away their own originality.

trannies

Something went wrong? I mean I don't play it religiously but I tend to like to solo my MMORPGs and I had a blast. Even liked the expansions. I know there was drama cause of some staff shit I figured they will kinda plateau untill they drop their next DLC

I still don't understand this complaint, you act like you can't change your weapon once you equip it

Post Asuras, faggots.

Why are gw2 threads still popping up on Yea Forums btw? I distinctly remember there was a /vg/ thread in the past week where people actually got off their fat asses and reported the spambot and had a clean thread.

I've played since beta and the problem has always been lack of clear vision and a tendency to abandon new ideas at the first sign of trouble in favor of new ideas that then get abandoned at the first sign of trouble, etc.

Management has no spine and devs aren't talking to each other. The worst part of all this is the game being as good as it is. It could have been much more.

the bot is unbannable

Didn't she also get fired?

Nope, there was a thread where people reported it and the thread was clean. I was surprised by it too.

the endgame. honestly the game leading up to that point is pretty fun, but then you start crafting your first ascended set, you run through the boss gauntlet with all of the people online through the portals, and then you get to tequatl and work together with everyone, eh. there's only so many times you can do that before you wanna quit.

They should never give people cosmetics for raiding PvE and for PvP. You ought to get overpowered girl to one hit and shit on people who play less than you.
Instead they went for artificial system of dailies that give you fuck all and cosmetics that mean nothing. The whole thing about "if everyone has the same gear it's about the skill" was bullshit. They took any sense of progress or reward for playing their game. Idiots. It was always Skill before Gear. But you need a difference in gear to show off how good you are if you can beat someone even if he's in better gear.

that's the exact same thing people said years ago and the bot is still around today

We should build a wall around Korea and Japan to keep the gaijin out.

I'm confused. If these bots are so unstoppable, why isn't the rest of Yea Forums teeming with them?

the bot is always going to be there. the point is the thread was clean, people just have to not be lazy and report the posts.

they are

She did but the fact that they hired that trash fire shoes they had no standard for writers

I miss it's dye system. in all the other mmos I've tried either the gear is undyeable, it has too few color channels or not even half the colors GW2 has.

Optimization

I loved guild wars 1 more than any mmo ever. So much time spent on it, bought all expansions, played through each one at least 6 times including hard modes, and the pvp was good even though I was shit.
I tried gw2 the day it came out on my friends account and hated it instantly, they seemed to change everything that made gw what it was. It felt more like everquest with a dumb weapon/spell gimmick.
Never bought it. My maxed out in anticipation of gw2 Hall of Heroes sits stagnant, never being transferred over.

GAMERS!

Gw2 will finally die if the lootbox legislation passes

According to a lot of people here it was going to be dead one month after launch, we're 7 years later and it's still going strong so not very much I guess.

It's more or less as hated as GW1 was in its time by everyone outside of the community but 7 years after its launch GW1 was pretty much dead for years.

This is why we need Gamer Gate 2.0. We need these gamer girls to go home and get in the fucking kitchen!

fuck I really hope lootbox legislation goes through. I bet corporations will find bullshit loopholes but I want all of em to feel at least some public disdain for their shit.

It has nothing of what made GW1 great.

game was perfect on release

Levelling was nice, world was gorgeous, jumping puzzles were cool. But when I got to max lvl, dressed my guy as I wanted did all zones 100% completition I quit. There was no more to do. Dungeons and PvP were ass

Price is worse because price has connections hamburger helper doesn’t in ttg and can use those to continue to do damage also she’s considered cute due to her one off angle shot, no one is thristing for McCoy

I really didn't like the combat and not really being able to set up your character exactly like you want them to. The weapon system is a decent idea, but it needs a bit more flexibility.

This was all fine and valid at the time but have you got anything like this post 2017.
Mccoy's gone, as is , and the game is immeasurably better than it was in the first year.

It doesn't matter. All the horrible things they add to the game is still being use in the current content. Team SJW are still your "friends", the story telling has gotten worse, and they keep reusing shit from the previous LS.

This
Jesus I still get fucking mad about how it all ended up
Not to mention they fucked their cash shop up by pandering to ERP furries. They ditched cash shop armor sets for set outfits because making modular textures is HAAAAAARD-uh
They basically made nothing but wrong decisions with every new feature except mounts and some of the elite specs
I’m gonna rail against the Elite specs especially. They could have actually saved the game if Arena Net bothered to focus on them.
Elite Specs could have been the equivalent of dual classing for GW2. It could have been Dual Classing+. Take aspects of one class and filter it through the core philosophy of another. It could have saved PvP by having more build variety. It could have saved PvE if ANet bothered to make Elite Spec quest lines that let you acquire them in the story, fueling your interest in doing the rest of the new PvE content.
And it would have been a reason to buy an expansion.
Instead they became a grab bag of fused classes, the same class but better or just a WoW Trinity class
It’s pure bullshit

Can you explain what makes the Sylvari a mary sue race?

>suddenly capable of doing all the same shit as other races despite being basically uncivilized children
>has super special connection to dragon
>basically just Elves but better and different
I wish we got the chance to burn them all in HoT

Remember that time when they put the game on life support to work on mobile games that got scrapped?
Oh wait, that was the last 2 years

Is that a knit PRINT? Jesus fuck.

>they retrofitted the game into being a WoW clone
It's nothing like WoW though. That also means it's currently good.

her whole twitter feed is basically

>VIDEO GAMES, KILL THE PATRIARCHY AND PRONOUNS!

Holy shit, and this is just a quick example. ArenaNet's talent is fubar and I hardly doubt they'll be able to recover.

The other sad part is that this is the majority of the industry, which is why we get the garbage we get.

Cute, with hips made for child birthing.

I’m happy Colin got out. He’s working at Amazon Game Studios now I think.
I just get mad when I remember how much potential GW2 had. Not as a GW1 successor but just an MMO that had a vision I really agreed with. Remember, before GW2, you had WoW on the decline in quality And FFXIV 1.0. Shit was fucked and then comes an MMO with a more restrained, focused approach to combat and a less tiresome approach to stuff like crafting or gathering. Early GW2 was actually really enjoyable
I just want to stop feeling things for this dumb game altogether

I just bought this harvesting tool.

Feels good to support proper game devs this day and age.

Will they ever be able to put out something that isn't shite?

i really enjoyed walking around and exploring the world, along with the general pve. pvp is garbage, and wvw got pretty stale after a while. not to even mention the shit optimization. story is fucking garbage too. cash shop is fucking gay, along with all the glittery rainbow trannies and furries running around. nonetheless, i think gw2 is still a solid mmo and scratches that mmo itch one might be looking for.

Oh and they get to choose their own gender before they are born

>we at Arena Net are proud to have delivered in our Living World updates across Season 4 an expansion worth of High Quality content!
>some fairly good story instances plus window dressing

Are you really wasting your weekend shilling? You'd get paid for it if you just waited until monday. I WANT to pay you fuckers for content, but first you actually have to make it.

40 days if you're a poorfag or a retard who doesn't charge his quartz daily
t. got mine yesterday

After HoT: they actually are dragon minions that got de-corrupted. They are meek because they got severed from the hivemind and were raised on the teachings of a dying hippy centaur.

The writing in Season 1 was indeed rubbish and the tone feels like 60s Batman with quirky and unique villains with strictly established villains. 2 was still trash but not quite as offensive, just kinda boring. HoT is like the best MMO theme park maps ever made mixed with kinda bad story. 3 started getting better but not quite good yet. Nice maps, though. PoF is kinda same. Season 4 map quality varies but the story was kinda decent for change.

*with strictly established themes

Man, made me remember the early preview trailers, those got me so hyped up for the game. The BWE's were amazing too. And then... nah. The game was truly, supposed to be the chosen one.

Dont forget the Chinese Gold Sellers and account thieves in literally every channel!

Plus, Treehearne! No one should ever forget how IMPORTANT he is!

I'm convinced that the original development team was replaced after closed beta. Live game was absolutely soulless after they got done with it.
I'm still mad, Colin. Even your brilliant smile will never take away the pain.

I do it for free, actually.

I quit when Tybalt died

I like GW2 a lot, but I think it's broken in a lot of ways.

They dropped the itemization reward structure traditionally associated with MMOs, but didn't really replace it with anything meaningful not found in other games. Furthermore, by insisting on elaborate skins for every armor piece, they've made new skins too time consuming to create at an acceptable pace.

They decided to segment the world into maps, instead of creating an open world. Not only that, they decided that all maps needed to be drawn directly on the map. This eliminates a lot of the draw of exploring in MMOs. There's nothing like the Karazhan crypts in GW2. Everything is tightly packed. Any single map can be fully explored in 20 minutes.

Almost all the content in the game involves you joining a faceless blob of players to hammer away at a health bar with no risk, and boring rewards.

This means your time in GW2 is spent killing boring enemies for boring rewards, without socializing despite being surrounded by other players. And since the game is B2P, most of the cool shit goes into the gem store. The worst example of this is when Balthazar's greatsword was literally just a single skin in an entire set, added to a loot box.

I enjoy the game a lot, but it hasn't been my main time waster for years. Now I pop in with every new update for a couple days. I have long since stopped spending any money on it. Hopefully ANet considers a new installment with better thought out features.
