GW2: Random Complaint Thread: Complaining about Complaints since day 1

[Shiyo]

There's a reason everyone I know except 1 person(who is a psychopath) doesn't play this game anymore. I stopped playing because I got burned out, and I was expecting there to be a ton new content by the time I come back to the game. Apparently, that isn't going to happen before every single form of content they add is temporary, the fuck?

[Katlan]

Pretty much what Kiarax and Shiyo have said. Maybe temp content is some people's thing but it's not mine. The fact they think that achievements are a big thing in this game is a joke when there are infinite achievements. I'm a big achievement whore, but this game has killed my desire to push for them in GW2.

Not to mention there has been no new gear (aside weapons) since launch that havent been exclusively town gear and from the cash shop

[Corrderio]

I got to admit this temp event bullshit is getting old fast. So far it seems like the only permanent content in the game since release was FOM and guild missions. Though I feel like I'm stretching it a bit with the guild mission statement.

Why is that?

[Corrderio]

Rewards for Guild Missions reset weekly instead of the usual daily. That and a few people have mixed feelings on how bounties work.

[Shiyo]

Wait you only get rewarded from guild missions once per week?

[Katlan]

its about 30-40 minutes of content once a week.. if you call it content.. and if you actually participate it in all. For example on bounties i usually just tag the first one then afk until they are done lol

[Shiyo]

Wow, that's garbage. I thought they were epic 5 man boss fights you had to do multiple times per day and got rewarded no matter how many times you did it. Seriously fucking time gated by ONE WEEK? Jesus christ Anet, you're retarded.

[Corrderio]

And just for kickers, guild treks don't give any individual rewards. Just merits for the guild.

Anet still demonstrating that they're fucking idiots. Props to sticking to their design choice I guess...? Shame nobody wants the game to be run that way.

People want minigames and fluff to extend past the time where they are relevant? News to me.

I don't know how you pros get guild missions done in 30-40 minutes though, must be in some baller guilds. Took us several hours to successfully complete a puzzle this week. Sometimes Challenges take multiple attempts, and Rushes are literally impossible to complete in less than the allotted timeframe (which is 30 minutes). Challenge, Puzzle, Bounty, Trek all in 10 minutes? I gotta step up my game.

[Kachiko]

Depends on how many people are participating; the more people you have, the faster stuff gets knocked out. Still, 30-40 isn't realistic unless you're only doing Tier 1 stuff, which is possible, if you've unlocked all guild content and don't care about the guild currency buffs.

[Kiarax]

Let's not pretend it's just minigames and fluff. The grand majority of the content they've added has been temporary and they're showing no intention of changing that pattern. They put a ton of manpower in to content that disappears within weeks, it's a complete waste of resources. They introduced a bunch of fun minigames/PvP modes, areas, jump puzzles and multiple dungeons and haven't bothered to integrate any of them permanently. The sad part is shills actually defend it by claiming "they're different dev teams" as if Anet isn't paying these people too or something. The game's been out what, 9 months now? If someone came back to the game now the only noteworthy new thing to do is Fractals and the ability to dick around in a dead Southsun (here's hoping the new living story can give this zone some purpose!). Now think of all the content they actually put out in those 9 months. Pretty fucking big disparity right?

[Celeras]

I like the temporary stuff (that actually matters). SAB was awesome. The Molten Facility is awesome. Am I supposed to have less fun because it's gone in a month or something? I said what I said because the quoted dev comment was pointed towards a minigame called CRAB TOSS. Boo fucking hoo it's temporary, I dont think anyone cares. Or do they?

"If someone came back to the game blah blah nothing new blah blah" << supposed to be a negative? Incentivizing consistent play rather than building up content for people who quit?

Are you retarded? Since day 1 of this game being announced you have defended this game with a vicious tenacity that has been incredibly taxing to anybody trying to have a discussion about the game.

Yeah bro, that content WAS awesome. So awesome it's not even in the game anymore, and that's bullshit. Are you supposed to have less fun because it's gone in a month? No, but imagine all the fun that could be had for EVERYBODY if that shit was permanent.

Temporary content in any game is a horrendous idea, get the fuck over yourself and admit that ANet makes stupid decisions. If you're defending those decisions then you're part of the fucking problem.

[Katlan]

It's about 40-50+ ppl who do the guild missions: generally, not always, get t3 bounty done in one attempt. Trek I don't bother w/ since its stupid and gets done in 5 minutes anyways. Rush is about 10-15 minutes depending on w/one we get. Puzzle we usually do on the first attempt. Challenge length depends on the one we get since some are shorter than others. And like I said, I don't do all of the bounties. I usually show up to one > go to the next zone and afk there until its all done

And while some may say temporary content is great, my friend summed it up best.. "Once I miss a few temporary events because of real life, vacation, or w/e, and realize I'll never get the chance to do that shit again, I'll just say fuck it to the game." Because as it sounds now, if you miss the temporary content then your missing any new content they put in the game. I mean even living story is finally a little bit of content.. but nobody can say that the 3 months leading up to this instance has been content. Running around a few zones collecting a few things to turn in is not content

[Arcana]

I have pretty much given up on the game. Partly due to IRL Stuff but mainly because its just devolved into a monthly shit on the player base with what they bring out. Nothing since fractals release in November has been permanent, what has been given is doable in 10mins.
The past 9 months worth of game updates has been adding shit in that should have been there at launch or fixing shit that's been wrong since launch. Ok first 3 months of an MMO launch is understandable fix all the bugs that you didn't pick up in testing phases. They are just now adding spectator mode to spvp, a function that iirc was available on GW at launch. Guild missions have gotten to the point where its a chore for merits and after you unlock everything, whats the point?

No personal story progression is terrible at this stage, fuck the temporary shit, let me get on with the dragons.

While I certainly appreciate you throwing out the insults right away so I know to disregard your entire argument, I'm still waiting for a valid reason why I should have less fun doing something because of the knowledge that it is going to disappear in the future. Or why I should give a shit that people who don't play didn't get to do it.

Plenty of people like the model, and that's why the game is as active as it is. If you want to kid yourself into thinking otherwise because of your own personal feelings, then that is your prerogative.

[Shiyo]

I hope they make an expansion next year that's as meaty with content as GW2 at release. The release of this game gave me over 5 months of content to play with, which was incredible. A shame their content updates don't prolong the life of the game at all, hopefully $40 expansions will. Will gladly pay, hell I'd pay for a $60 expansion that was basically GW2 : 2.0 80 more levels, as many zones as GW2 release, as many new classes added as GW2 release, actual changes to classes weapons that are weak/underpowered and utilities/elites/traits that are weak/underpowered(since they outright REFUSE to do this in actual patches for some unknown reason), etc etc? Sign me up.

[blindSharingan]

I actually still play the game actively and enjoy it quite a bit.

That said the temporary content is an awful idea. I enjoy the content that is out while it's available but taking it away is not a good idea. I don't think the idea that it's temporary makes the content itself less fun but taking fun content away from the game makes the game less fun as a whole. More fun things to do in a game isn't usually a bad thing.

You're constructing your argument around something that nobody ever even said. You shouldn't enjoy the content less just because it's going away. Nobody has said otherwise so I have no fucking idea what you're on about as far as that goes. It's not even about whether or not people who didn't play during that time didn't get to play the content. It's that they are spending developmental resources on shit that just fucking disappears while adding no lasting content to the game that isn't a complete and utter joke.

You can't disregard my entire argument when you are clearly not even paying attention to the argument and spouting shit that you conjured out of thin air to "argue" against what we've all been saying.
