So while the mainquests are just awesome, its not enough to keep me happy and playing the game.

 

I have played less and less during the last week and am wondering if this is just me or that there are also others having this same experience?

 

(Even SWTOR did get a hold of me for 4 weeks, in which i got to max level.)

I dunno. I find many of the sidequests rivalling the main quests. I got tired of SWTOR in two hours, so I guess to each to his own.

No, just some trying to imply such. They've just had to add another server.

If you read through the whole thread, you'll see that there are actually 6 people who claim to have left the game already. The vast majority of posts is from people that are saying they HAVEN'T left the game, hehe

 

Of course, by making the title of the thread "Why did you quit this game ?", the OP can now say that the "leaving thread on TSW forums" is already 13 pages long !

 

It's the oldest trick in the book. Along the lines of: "Have you stopped beating your wife yet ?". You may only answer "yes" or "no"....

 

If you have been reading the TSW forums for a month or more, you will also notice that 4 of these 6 alleged "leavers" have been some of the most negative posters since closed beta days. Why they actually bought and played TSW (if they ever did) is a mystery to me.

This is nothing, check out this thread from the official forums:

I am leaving this game.

The utility and elite skills are all weapon summons. Each summoned weapon, gives you 5 weapon skills when equipped. 45 skills total. 49 if you count attunement switches as skills.

Edit: it's definitely not the best way to play an elementalist but it is possible to have 45 (49) skills total.

yea, naming a single class and call it the "basic" number of skills in game sounds like an excuse to me :)

GW2 is NOT about elementalists. it's just one class in the game.

so please bitches, if you wanna talk about gw2, tell us why  you stopped playing *G*

I didn't quit the game.

I have been playing (for only a short time, furthest I got was like 20 something ability points) but still has been a pretty enjoyable play experience. Idk how end game will turn out however.

I'll have to wait and see if I make it that far.

This game has been one of the better experiences of recent MMO releases possibly.

In my experience, 2-4 weeks is about how long it takes me to figure out that i no longer want to play an MMO even though I bought it.

 

Took me about 2 weeks of TOR, about 4 weeks of Rift, 4 weeks of FE, etc.  So your 2 weeks sounds about right for figuring out that the game just isn't for you.

 

I'm still very much enjoying it and while I'm only halfway through completing the Blue Mountain zone, the 3 instances I've done so far and overall game design have shown me that I have good things to look forward to.  Can't wait for the raids to get added in as the boss fights in instances are some of the awesome combat experiences I've had in an MMO.

its not jsut mmo its any type of game, times we are living games have short life thats how it just is.

Was so looking forward, but box price and sub with cash shop is just taking the piss.

 The cash shop has clothes in it. It also has pets as well. Nothing "game-breaking" that I know of.

Doesn't have to be gamebreaking. People can dislike it simply because a sub *should* give you the full monty.

I agree with that up to a point, since I simply wouldn't use the shop rather than not play the game.

EDIT: Which, I know, doesn't quite make a statement towards a developer.

Yup cash shop has lame clothes, in game clothes are far better.

Also there are lame deco pets, birds and such.

Dorky titles...

Oh and fireworks.  You can make those in game though.

Also for $5 you can buy serveral items since most cost between $1-$2... with the packaged outfits costing around $10 i think.

Yup a cold hard pay 2 win money grab imo. lol

I would actually use it if the cash shop items were better looking that what was found in game.  Or at a minimum they offerd weapon castings so i could craft unique looking weapons or something.

I quit the game before purchasing it because I feel that only a select few games are actually worthy of being Buy to Play + Pay to Play these days.  I'm sorry if the game is actually great or something, but it just looks mediocre by todays standards and seems like it would see much greater success as a free to play title. 

Really, none of these games are going to provide a better experience than something like say, Skyrim, so you're just paying for the social aspect.  That's another complaint of mine and truly a shame though, because MMORPGs are becoming less social with each iteration.  I think developers can try to make the games cinematic and try to make them fast paced, but there are so many obstacles to overcome due to the networking that it's not really possible to compete with single player titles in those aspects.

This marks the end of a pointless and completely off topic rant.

It's a big joke thread.  I even think i participated claiming i was leaving due to the lack of real-world advertising, or something like that.

Ive quit playing after two weeks myself ...just not interested in running around looking for quests (just doesn't cut it anymore for me).

I've already gotten to the point, after two weeks, where I am considering not subbing after the first month.  It's unfortunate too, because up until Transylvania I loved the game.  Now that I am near end game I am sort of disappointed to realize that the game offers nothing new for me.  It's bascially a gear grind for purples that involves doing dungeons over and over again.  The same thing I have done since 2001.  I had some time off from work the past two weeks due to holidays/vacation etc, so I guess I just blew through the content I enjoy too fast.

 

The story is fantastic, I love 95% of the missions.  Hell I am even an odd one that actually likes the combat and isn't bothered by the animations.  However...once you do the missions, the story--I am having trouble finding any motivation to go do them again.  The crafting is pretty worthless, pvp just isn't cutting it for me.  So I guess grind for gear?  No thanks.  I guess these types of games just aren't for me anymore.  I miss games where it would take months for me to even see the end..or better yet, not have end.  I should know better by now, but the story and atmoshphere of this game just drew me in.

 

I am not giving up on this game yet.  I was planning to at least play until late August (you know when).  Not sure if I will make it though.  I don't blame the developers for making the game, it's my fault for thinking I would enjoy gear grinding again.

This is more or less what im feeling, but then again im getting older and i have probably played to much MMO's over the years. Pvp in this game is uninspired. I was hopefull it could copy DAOC pvp but its just stupid BG pvp.

The only challanges i can find in MMO's that can keep my attention is char progression with pvp in mind, and a FFA PvP environment were guild fights over land and resources etc. This game has nothing but pve content and im not a PvE gear grinder either....so i cant see its going to hold my attention much longer. That said, its worth its money just to play through the story.

Im in Egypt so far, and i liked the story, maybe to much darkness overall...dont get me wrong i understand the setting, i just like the sun to pop out now and then ;)

All in all a good game so far, and to all you GW2 fanbois out there, i dont think that will hold my attension long either.

Think ill wait for Darkfall II... like all other PvP oldtimers out there.

Well said.  I found myself in this situation after two weeks as well.  Haven't felt the desire to log in since then- what's the point? There is no exciting and engaging story left, and the TSW gear progression is pretty terribly designed and unable to hold my attention.  No quality upgrades during the last three zones of content (only sidegrades), finish the story, now you can grind elites for blues and nightmares for purples...where have I seen this novel system before?

I did read it, my linking to it was largely in order to mock the present thread.  I assumed it would have been patently obvious to anyone reading even the first page that it was a parody / joke.

I quit for a few reasons:

1. The combat did not really appeal to me, I really liked the idea of making your own spec and that you can in the end unlock every skill. But the feel of combat seemed dull. 

2. Too many annoying "atmospheric" graphics. There were points in the game, in Blue Mountin where I literally could not see anything because it was either foggy or there was "filth" on my screen.

3. I really struggled to find a Cabal I liked, probably my own fault but it was a draw back on the game for me.

exactly...

One of the main reasons why I've stayed away from TSW. If it was F2P or even B2P I would consider playing it, but I just don't think TSW is worth monthly subs; just my two cents.

TSW must be like the only MMO ive really stayed away from due to people's input about bugs etc and "booring combat"..

then again some say the world is really immersive so maybe ill give it a try next weekend when its f2p just to scratch my itch for GW2.

Off-topic, some people in this thread mentioned DE's in GW2 doesent need any real commitment to get the same rewards as others, I just have to say that may be true lvl 1-15 (tutorial zones) and on events that might not be tuned right yet for huge masses of people but come lvl 20+ there are some damn hard events, dont wanna spoil anything but if anyone played the fire elemental event last BWE they know what I mean ;D

Someone even said that the world in GW2 was bland and unimmersive, what game where you playing? (you have the right to have that oppionion just dont know what you are comparing it too)

Hopefully people find a good and meaningful MMO to stick with, be that WOW, RIFT, TSW or GW2 (for example) come launch I would hope people could stop bashing others for playing another game, its just so damn childish, but im guessing there are alot more trolls on this forum than maybe we would like to think.

I just know Im tired of the gear threadmill in other MMO's and will gladly spend my time in GW2 exploring, crafting, pvping, www:ing, puzzlejumping etc ;D (all with the ability to jump in anytime on any toon helping my friends and still getting something out of it, breath of fresh air is an understatement)

Ps. havent had this amount of fun playing with others since maybe Daoc or early wow vanilla, and Ive played almost every "new" MMO that have hit the market come the last 10 years.

Its not complete, hell man chat don't work well. The bag sucks. I'm done but would ome back if a few things where finished in the game. Some people seem elitist in this game. Hell the game at endgame is elitist. You can play upto a point and then if you dont have purge, owell you cant get past the Gatekeeper, re spec. F that. I played for weeks and I dont get tested on my skills in what got me to the gatekeeper, well F U , EA. I'll respec, my CC to support this game. bye!!!!

Still playing....

No time to talk, gotta log back in.  Have a nice day
