Why did you stop playing Guild Wars 2?

I stopped because an hour after launch I could immediately tell it was trash.

I just lost interest. After capping a few characters and running dungeons, there wasn’t much else to do. Wasn’t super into fractals or w/e it was called, the infinite scaling dungeon. I didn’t have a group and pugs was suffering. Especially since I didn’t know enough about it to explain/carry the group. I thought about getting back into it when HoT released, but just never did.

Still play GW1 from time to time.

Game was pretty shit, and that’s coming from someone who has put over a thousand hours into it.

I liked it as an exploration game then I burned out at like 75% map completion

My one friend that I played with quit playing

>like the fanart
>this image in particular
>nothing in-game looks like it
Fucking fan artists do better advertisement for the game than anything the devs do.

I didn't. It's currently the best mmo out there.

the gameplay wasn't engaging

PvE was awful and boring.
Took the amazing and complex GW1 combat system and replaced it with WoW with dodge mechanics.

GW1 had an answer to the holy trinity with mesemers. necromancers armies, etc.
GW2 removed all of that. The fuck were they thinking?

Yes, we all know mmos are dead.
There are no good mmos.

pve sucks

The GW1 necro was way more fun to play than other games' necros.

GW2 is a good mmo

>Put no limit on summons
>They just lose HP over time
>Blood of the Master drains your HP to mass heal summons
>Monk can just focus heal you, keeping your 40+ minions alive
I loved GW1

That got removed in the first year of the game's release.

There was a limit, tied to your Death Magic stat.

I was still doing it right before GW2 launched.
Not that exact setup but I definitely still used minion master a few times to clear some of the story missions. I don't remember the setup. :(

I think its cash shop model should be the norm. Nothing but skins and visual flair, with no exclusive gameplay advantages

Why? There are so many places to find lewd these days, why would you need to hang around an imageboard waiting for somebody to post it?

Yea, you are right I had like 4 necros or something. Also had some way of restoring party energy but I can't remember.

Bought it for the hyped WvW.
Turned out it was garbage and the rest of the game was meh.

Who is this? She cute.

Every single improvement was ten steps backward. The combat changes/changes to how unlocking shit especially basic skills was fucking stupid.

I hated EOTN cause it forced my character to work with the Charr. My character was Ascalon so having to work with those kingdom burning fire worshiping primitives was incredibly distasteful. I ended up getting 30/50 on HoM anyways

Played the sequel, as a human engineer. Didn't really feel the same. the writing was really off. Felt the narrative was a lot more shallow. finished the base game, quit, came back for heart of thorns, played that a bit, and quit around ember bay. Haven't come back since. Maybe I'll come back to try out the last expansion but at this point I don't want to pay for two expansions so I'll just wait until next expansion comes out so I don't pay twice

This could apply to a lot of mmos
>warframe
>wow
>maplestory

I got to max level and didn't know where to go from there, also I've lost access to my account so whatever

Just bought Guild Wars 1, but will continue play both.

btw thoughts about upcoming update?

Are you neet? Weel then why don't you bump our dead af thread for free?

>Episode releases
>NEW MAP!!!!
>it's just 1 hour of horribly written storyline with some barebones minigames tied to it and maybe an okay boss fight you can't lose even if you try
>you are then expected to play 3-6 months of that absolutely nothing new map for pointless achievements and glorified fetch quests shoved into jumping puzzles until another 1 hour of storyline comes in
>all the actual rewards will be put on the gemstore anyways
>log in, do 1 hour story step, leave for 6 months.

Rinse and repeat.

They obviously thought WoW did some things right and wanted to implement those into GW.
It seemed like a good idea at the time; in retrospect, not so much.

That is the most attractive thing I have ever seen in my life. Jesus.

>you don't even get to play your own damn character anymore
>stuck playing as furry OC donutsteel for the shitty retarded charr subplot nobody gives a flying fuck about

Just when you thought it couldn't get worse.
Amazing.

Counting upcoming one they released 4 of them in past 6 months (Grothmar in September, 2 parts of Bjora Marches and Steel and fire soon).

Friend got me to buy it, only for him to stop playing shortly after I started. Lost interest because the game wasn't fun without a friend, and I didn't want to bother trying to get interested in an MMO that had no staying power compared to the obese fatass taking up the entire cafeteria table that is WoW.

BECAUSE IT WAS FUCKING BORING LIKE EVERY OTHER MMO THESE DAYS

It's only in Darkrime Delves part I think.

>being attracted to a rat

its much too late lol.
sorry your furry bf died.

Because devs ruined an already flawed game

because there are no guild wars.

Did Zojja come back yet or is she still in the Felicia Day coma?

>stop playing Guild Wars

Hey guys, you seem fond of this city with verticality and Easter eggs, let me fix it by turn it into a plain and bland hub.

It's the eyeliner

Nothing fun to do after exploring the map. Dungeons and PvP were pretty shitty.

>was so distrought i stopped playing
What? How autistic are you?

Never seen a better example of SOUL vs SOULLES

I tried, a few times. I'm not willing to put money into it and it seems like the game is significantly better with the money in it.

But the core gameplay loop, the just plain ass grinding out events and shit, it bores me to tears. I wish I could get into the RP scene but it seems really locked up.

because it's a directx 9 mmo and runs like absolute dogshit with every PC upgrade I do

Odds of them ever making GW3 that's more similar to 1? And with playable Asuras

I have more hope in another company making a spiritual successor

You did it with max 11 minions and at that time.

it's impossible at this point
the story and devs are too fucking dumb to fix and think adding more homo characters will band aid everything

The levelling process and the class I played were fun enough, but the endgame blows ass and PvP disappointed me. Not being able to properly customize your hotkeys is shit too, so I left for greener pastures.

This. I don't give two shots about the more. I love the skill system

>is it too late to get back intot the game?
No
>can i still get all the bonus shit from buying the expansions?
Depends on what you mean by bonus content, every story and its maps that got released under the name "living story" won't be included and you'll have to buy them separately.

>it's impossible at this point
It's impossible but not for the reasons you listed. GW1 was an experiment that worked well for A.Net, GW2 was when they tried to experiment more while creating a more mass-market appealable game. It is in NCSofts best interest to force A.Net to create more cashcows and thus you'll never see a game like GW1 ever again. Just remember it being a part of the golden age of pc games.

Because they laid off the femcharr VA
Also it was starting to just get samey. I liked Joko while he lasted though
