The first part of you response is precisely why some how we need to have more excitement .. more complex things to accomplish that do not, repeat, do not cost gems, dollars, yen, pesos, bitcoin or any other currencies.

( since they are complex you wont win right away you have to practice.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamazuki.6073 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Until we live in a world where games are developed by AI it will be impossible to release content quick enough. It takes a lot of time to produce, test, and release content, but then it takes only a fraction of that time for people to play through and complete it.

PookieDaWombat.6209 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Seriously though, I've been here since beta weekend and I STILL have things from the core game I've not done. Partly cuz i'm kinda meh about it and also because I don't have the time to burn through all that content so much that I'd be "bored" of it all. Sure I get burn out, but thats not the same as lack of content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQuickFox.3826 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I think you will need to diversify your gameplay a bit more. Did you do world completion? Maxed crafting professions? Completed all dungeons? Fractals? Raids? Do you have dragon rank on PvP? Silver rank on WvW? Titles? Collections? Achievement rank? Tried a new character with a different profession, race and story path? Not all game types likely match your style of playing, but there surely is so much more than just the story and the open world maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardenwolfe.8590 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I agree. I loved the speed of early content releases, but it's all good now. The lull between episodes and expansions gives me time to play Steam games. And God of War on PS4 is about to gobble up a lot of my time and attention. So I'm not complaining. ?

Endless Soul.5178 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Personally I feel the cadence is a little _too_ fast. As it is now I feel a little rushed trying to get things done in each new map on top of getting things done in other areas. (I realize that I'm an anomaly here) I do log on every night and I farm, craft, try to get an elusive achievement done, level characters, RP, get a dungeon or fractal done, work on that legendary. Not all of these are done on the same night, mind you, but I guess my point is that I'm constantly busy. It boggles my mind when people say they are bored and have nothing to do, when in my personal experience, there are a zillion things to do.

Pretty Pixie.8603 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I very much doubt that the release schedule could be improved upon in any meaningful way. It took four years for GW2 to get to a decent release schedule that provides lasting content. It took some major internal restructuring. You personally might exhaust it, but that isn't a measuring stick, judging by how populated many of the LS4 maps are. Can you cite a game with a buy to play model that provides a better cadence of free content? I would also like to hear if you have other constructive arguments apart from personal anecdotes and opinions, since they are a very poor basis to determine whether Anet's release schedule is actually slow, as you claim.

Demented Sheep.1642 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 "Only one map" Jesus, LS is one thing but how quick are they expecting Anet to pump out new maps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seinka.4823 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 As for the "updates too slow", I have exactly opposite experience. I started playing in February last year. I tried multiple characters, picked one and ran the basic story line with her. So far so good. Then the LS2 story line, that took some time too. The HoT and I could **slowly** start unlocking my first elite spec. But along that time, when I struggled through all that, there was already LS3 in progress and everyone was talking about things I didn't understand. OK, it's a new content, fair enough... When I started LS3, I felt so overwhelmed by the backlog of story and character progress, which I needed to get to the current "state of the game", I just took few months break from playing. I returned some time after PoF was released, got a raptor and... guess what... (please, this is not meant as complaining, I'm just trying to describe my point of view) Of course I understand, that people, who play the game for 5 years (or so) have no trouble to keep up with the game's updates. But as someone (relatively) new, I feel flooded with content, that I have no idea what to do with. (Which might have something to do with the fact, that I'm super slow person and incredibly bad player in general. If that's the case, fair enough.)
