At least when it comes to in-game / gem store purchases because we all know that the game went free to play shortly before the release of HOT and caused their revenue from sales to tank to the bottom because the core / free game wasn't good enough to force conversions (also identified by NCSoft themselves)

> Also, given how meta events on HOT maps were always well populated, and still are, we can say with a certain degree of certainty that the "mass exodus" you claim to happen had no effect to the game's in-game activity and popularity, nor on their financial state, so even if it did happen it was of no consequence at all. Losing players that play once a month for 20 minutes and not buy anything from the gem store, didn't really hurt the game.

Considering anet nerfed their content "because it was overtooled and hard on customers" yes there was a mass exodus, do you really think anet would nerf whole expansions (past released content) if there hadn't been a massive backlash and a lot of customers leaving..

When else has anet ever nerfed whole content expansions in the past before HoT.. Never.

Remember at hot release customers mass exited GW2 (i was one of them) so i'm sure that is in the back of their minds daily.

Tedious fetch quests does not equal interesting content, just saying. For me tyria was fine i still play there 8 years later.. Not all of us are content locusts.

To a point yes and no.. for me the grind in guildwars 2 is just different more like a mobile game type grind, things like ascended, legendaries, mounts etc.. yeah they aren't strictly needed but they still are a tedious grind.. I like GW2 a lot but i miss the day to day leveling grind, thats why i have 18 characters i love the leveling up aspect.. I just wish it wasn't just to 80 more like 160.. I do play other mmorpgs Fallout 76 and SWTOR are all excellent these days to me.

ESO is far to painful latency wise and unbalanced classes worse than here, i enjoyed it but their megaserver is not friendly to Aussies.

Gw2 is just a different type of grind.. Nearly all games have their merits.

The mindlessly boring part is 100% accurate, and for the record i hated the Griffon one as well.

Only time i do hot and pof is for hero points then i'm out again, its not fun at all.. true it was nerfed apparently at release cause so many customers quit but it wasn't even remotely nerfed enough.. I mostly play in tyria as its a lot better gameplay experience. If it had not been for mounts and hero points in hindsight i'd have never even bothered with the expansions.

That said i hope they learned from their mistakes with cantha.

> You never unlocked the skyscale. How would you know whether or not the griffon is superior to it? Rent-a-skyscale is not the same thing as fully unlocked skyscale with bond of vigor and leap of faith. The skyscale is better in virtually every way as a multi-purpose mount. It completely replaces the griffon in this role. However, the griffon is still useful for its dive maneuver and the skyscale makes it easier to gain sufficient altitude to use it.

I used the testers, they were atrocious even max tier they'd not be as good as griffon speed and maneuverability, to me. I am glad the op got theirs though it was a crazy challenge to me but to them i congratulate their work.

Thats exactly my take but i don't even bother anymore its just way to much work for such a small gain.

Sorry open how? I've been on SoS for 8 years or so so i'm not sure what you mean by open?

Skyscale is not worth it after getting the griffon.. Griffon is far superior to Skyscale to me. The grind required to get such a lackluster mount was insanely over the top so i gave up.

Taimi its always taimi, so sick of Taimi being left out... Jory makes the most sense lore wise.. Ogden would make sense as well. #Bringbackdwarves

Please no more Rytlock, Rox or most definitely Braham they are all horrible to listen to and painful to deal with, the rest are pleasant enough.

Sea of sorrows was always the unofficial Oceanic server.

As a PvE customer Meta is one of my most hated things in an mmorpg.. Partially why i avoid pvp, wvw Raids even etc, because i play for choices.. PvP is so shoe horned into meta you are literally forced to play certain builds or not play at all.. Nothing else is ok..

I kinda equate meta to a very long hallway with no doors and something behind you pushing you forward, playing a game like that is just not fun at all for me.

See you are ok with arcdps but you are not ok with people never dying and flying around in WvW which is also a script mod.. just not a friendly one.. But they still use them to screw others over just like arcdps.

Its a bit clunky and to play best you need a subscription, you can play free but its limited a lot like here (not as bad as some) that said yes its very fun and heaps to do.. The SWTOR cash shop is a lot cheaper than Guildwars 2 to buy stuff.

But since yesterday and for absolutely no reason, I get a lot of issues (can't login, infinite loading, can connect but get disconnected after few minutes, ...). It's unplayable. I did a complete troubleshooting and tried absolutely everything I could find in Support section, Google, forums etc. The issue is not coming from my side, every single other online game works fine, I have a ping of 12 ms, 0 packet loss, a really good connection from my ISP, my computer is wired to the router etc. It makes me wonder why I came back on this game, I want to quit already ...

Same here can't play at all.. i'm in brisban wildlands server is a mess.

Terrible just like longbow, ranged options are about the worst in the game on warrior class wise.

Playable servers...

Well then Raids can stay niche and i'll avoid them i have for years.

Yep 1377 ping and now i cannot even login anymore, Australian here.

Gave up its unplayable gonna play SWTOR it can have my money and time this is not worth it.
