My Bad,, ty vm.

It's bad, doesn't really worth the time, so i chose to consume all in order to dump all my luck (where did I heard this ? :)....). In process my Magic Find went to 301%. It's normal ?

I have deepest respect for how Anet is handling their cash shop. It's 100% skip able and still they make good money. For me it's amazing.

They are NOT opting. They garbage GW2 after POF.......working at somethinng else..but they failed and now milk this game to the end. That's why we dont have new content to play. Please don't go around with opting LW over espansion... it was a save ....a lame save after a big lie

Precursors are hard. For 2-3 years before POF I've got 1 precursor from MF-ing gold items(a lot of them from Siverwastes, man that map is a blast), but after POF my luck suddenly change so I got like 10 precursors in 1 year, 2-3 drops and rest of them by MF-ing gold items( gold unid. mostly). But since Anet remove luck from unid....like 1 year ago ..no precursor for me...but I guess i had my share(also true is i didn't play much due to dry of content). Ironic for you(sorry) is that I've got my Mystic Forge precursors in Silverwastes due to magic find buff.

We have to do all meta events starting with constructions. You lose construction no achievements. Pick your hammer.^^

What good are QOL improvements if you don't have content to play. Game stays off regardless new QOL improvments.

After I finish all the achievements, story/map with 3 chars, all collections playing like 1 hour/day (maybe less) since release I can say : It's not enough content, far from enough in fact. And quality of the content ...prolog and last LW4 episode were way better. This a surprise for me ? No.

I didn't but I would if was not so limited.

While I was fighting in Auric South Ive meet this veteran : https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Veteran_Bonebreaker

For me the animations looks the same..maybe I am wrong but looks like they reused an old asset ....

The guy who worked at build templates is working now at swiss style pvp tournament. So yea.....second project in his life. GL bro

200+ Anet's employee worked since february (when they so "refocused" on GW2) to :

1 prologue

2 LW episodes ( still to be deliver)

and....idk ...... build templates....

I didnt count here last episodes of lw4 wich was in february working progress.

So nice productivity for 10 months of work, tbh I would like to work at Anet. Must be a forever holiday there.

"LW episodes only" is maintenance mode. They are working with 20-30 devs to do these episodes and we will get them along with some other recycled assets until everybody leave.

I mean I've spent way more in those and even every other ls map that wasn't lucrative and by paying customers you mean what that we paid for pof what 3 years ago and haven't had to buy anything since. 3 years of wow or ff14 is 540 bucs. Am I entirely happy with gw2 content release probably not but Gw2 still easier to keep playing then many other mmos.

> > > > > > > I get that but it's optional. And yes you are supporting the game and can expect things but it's not a nightmare like the guy I replied too said. Of course only if you are buying gems with cash not gold like I do. And it also isn't a subscription that anet can depend on steady income to produce content. Even subscription games like FF14 got outfits/retainers they suck you in for more money.

> > > > > >

> > > > > > What he said was that ten hours of new content every six months is a nightmare rather than a dream. I doubt that many people would consider 10 hours of content per six months to be their dream. Nightmare seems a bit hyperbolic to me, but his point is solid. Keep in mind that he didn't say, "paid," customers but rather, "paying." Paying means current. Not paid at some time in the distant pass, paying currently.

> > > > >

> > > > > And I said no way it's only 10h content per 6 months. I really don't want to argue with a different person guessing that he's paying for gems and telling me what he meant. If you aren't happy fine. If you want more fine but don't tell me it's 10h of content per map and if it is for you or anyone then I'm sorry. I didn't even say I was happy and I don't pay at all so I get it. There is not a game I have played non-stop for years. They all die or get stagnant and all that time leveling and rl money is gone but usually worth the investment vs any other number of vices/hobbies out there.

In the next 6 months we will prob get 2 ls maps again for free(me) or optional fashion war purchases(you).

> >

> > No, you didnt contest the claim of 10h per six months. You stated that you personally spent more than 10h in istan or dragonfall. I have spent more time in the mistlock sanctuary than in the mentioned maps. That is not a reflection of how much content it contains. If I spent 100 hours in the mistlock sanctuary would that mean that it has 100 hours of conte?nt? No, of course not.

>

> So how would we measure content in hours then? Would it be the fastest person to finish all achieves. Obviously replayable content doesn't count to you like istan/sw/dragonfall/wvw. I don't understand what you want from anet. I finished all the festival achieves in 1 day does that mean it was only 1 day of content? Or because I played everyday there was it 21 days of content. What game gives you non stop new content. We have no 10 level cap raise so they can't hide content in quests. Do you want a super long story like ff14. I guess you go into the new map play for 2 hours and map complete and can go hey Im done with this content already anet so for you the next 6 months is only 10h of content even through you/I play 400 hours. If you beat the raid fast its too easy content. If it takes for ever its too hard of content. Gl ever being happy with any game man.

I have a friend who cant play week days, also he can't play more than 2-3 hours at once. So every time an LW episode is ON in weekend I play whole story and I do full map discovery with him. While doing these we tagging every quest/meta we come across. Usually we are finishing in 2-3 hours, maybe Istan and Dragonfall take as next day for another 2-3 hours. True I have already done these on another character so we are moving quite fast. But at the end the new content is this. How much time you need to finish an episode? Now if I chose to stay on that map to complete achievements or farm something there is my choice but I am repeating the content. And its fine. New maps are full of life therefore full of fun. The problem is until now every season was out after an expansion, so whatever short LW episode was I had something left to do in HOT or POF. Now without expansion there are not many things to do outside LW episodes. Right now I am logging only to farm my home and make the wood chest in WvW.

What did we find yesterday is that for next 6 months or so we will have 10 hours of new content, this is our future and reality. Its not personal fantasy but personal nightmare.

At the end is not about new content and how much it is, but Anet was dishonest with us paying customers with words like "refocused on GW2" or "expansion like content".

Anet, tell us frankly, GW2 is in maintenance mode, we will release some content whenever we feel so, we have better things to do.

You are calling this new content ? Your quality bar is very low.

2vs2 almost no one plays that,

cooking 500 : It's a nice addition but dont call it new content, 80 % of it was already ingame.

legendary runes and sigils....so expensive no one is making them.....

true gemstore is new content in strange way :)

Qol, build templates are not ingame and could take 2 years until you will see them if ever(see alliances for wvw)

New pvp conquest maps .....pvp has issues that requires attention but a new map is last on the list, check the pvp forum,

New WvW features....dont get me started

and yes we will get 2x LW5 episodes and a prolog but sound to me they will be like lw4 episodes..like 10 hour of gameplay in total

How about we should receive this year as new content if Anet would actually work for GW2 :

- an espansion

- 3 LW5 episodes

- alliances updates for WvW

- side stories

and many more

For me its clear Anet is not working for GW2, that " refocused on GW2" was just another smokescreen in order to milk us more

Living world episodes without an expansion behind is not much for a game. We players expected that Anet will bring much more content to keep us busy. Build templates are nice but is not new content, strikers are interesting but it uses already ingame raid bosses so its not new content, pvp thing nothing new , nothing new for wvw. 2 hours of new content every 3 months is not enough. Maybe the LW5 epsiodes are epic with alot of new content and it will keep us busy 2 months, idk........ but Anet didnt say this also. So ya we are mad.

A question : there are collections and achievements associated with crafting legendary runes and sigils ?

LW 5 right after LW 4 was something that Anet brought on the table when they realized that whatever they was working(we dont know what..for sure not GW2) will not be ready in time and they need to milk GW2 another year. Anet's plans was changed early this year so GW2 is again their main focus. With this in mind I can tell you that Anet need some revenues fast, so either they make LW5 episodes bigger and sell them like mini expansions or they will release an expansion this year somewhere in winter.

Looks like they wanted to automatize the events proccess, only press a button and the events starts, nothing to do for next 20 years. "not to work, not to work....the presentation"

The only unique feature Skyscale brings is safe AFK-ing while waiting for events to start and you argue that should stop ?? You kill the Skyscale man.

If you are like me with 99,9% LW4 achievements done, its easy. Only thing away are the astral weapons who was not tied with achievements back then, so now i have to farm them. I think Anet is telling us : we are working hard for LW episodes so you guys should complete the content.

Its a pointless mount. Also it costs a lot more than 40g ..somewhere at 200g if you add all the mats required. Peoples will say that mats can be farmed but I tell you gold can be farmed too. But to answer to your question : yes is worth doing this collection, its a well made collection, with a lot of fun things to do, a masterpiece really.

I can level a crafting to the max with 50 gold and mats i might have in bank in only 2 hours...others might do it faster...so i don't think crafting is a issue..at least not anymore. In wvw a good gear is needed, but ascended drops there, also you can farm ascended from rewards ...so if you have patience you will get gear without crafting...only not that fast.

> > Its not that simple, i am OK with 250 map currency required for Skyscale and another 100 same map currency required for Vision, the quantity : 350 its there, if you dont have it might requires 3-4 days to light farm those maps multiply by 6 maps id say its there, manageable.......but 3000 its different game so id like to have another way to get them. Anyway i think asking us to farm Istan its bad for Anet also, its split the playbase between 2 maps, its downgrading the Dragonfall becouse all players are now in Istan, farming old content. And not to forget the multi-loot squad for meteors made by rude commanders add more sorrow to Anet customers. And we are speaking here about collection, making legendary doesn't stop there and I think what It is after the collection make a legendary legendary.

>

> But you have lots of other ways to collect those 3k ores. Other than golden hearts and the meteor farming you can do GH and Palawadan daily to get some with other rewards and if you don't like Istan at all there are reward tracks to let you chill in other game modes while still acumulating ores. 3000 is not different game and also easy to acquire "light farming" the map and occasionaly stoping by, lets say one hour/day to get some meteors. The difference between them ? Time, of course players that want it fast will find ways to do it fast and others that want fast but don't want to go the same way will say it is unfair. What comes after the collection is just a gold sink, period.

>

True..and this is exactly what i am doing, 2 meteors, GH or Pala/day....reward tracks, cba for more farming. Is not that i need Vision tomorrow. Its ironic also. All that Anet was doing last year was to nerf Istan. Alot of effort was made to drive away farmers from Istan...they nerf the loot, change numbers of champions that drops, change numbers of champions, change the way champions spawn, change events, no MF for unidentified ...and now where are the farmers ??? In Istan...L O L

Also next events like meta train next week will be impacted by this. Unless Anet will not change something, people will stay in Istan and chase meteors.
