GW2 was a much needed worthy mmo, my time playing it matches only my skyrim time, 1000+ hours.

Good for you that you got so many hours out of it. I'm confused you say it's a "much needed worthy mmo" and then turn around and compare it to a single player RPG. 

I know what I would say if I held up to the one MMO I played for the longest.

Here's hoping this next game i find will be a proper sandbox that will give as much as i want from it while waiting for gw2 expansions to come!

Okay, so a pretty positive thread all around.

What do you hope of getting out of this thread? Or is it only meant as a way to cheer for GW2 a bit? 

I ask because people usually stop playing and you never hear from them again. 

Here's an idea. Do something else for heavens sake. 1000+ hours is stupid. I play video games to much and I'm not even half that.

There is a difference between a healthy hobby of gaming and making it your entire life. 1000+ hours is not healthy.

Well you made it 4 months OP. 

Come try Wushu with us!

After many many hours of invested game time, i've finally hit the dead end wall that often goes along with themepark games.

Logged in today, and sat looking at my screen wondering what to do. Nothing enticed my palette.

I have all dungeons cleared, an armor set for each almost, and the Greatswords from all of them.

Legendaries are far too much grind for too little reward, but i have a sunrise. not interested in chasing more.

Grinding DE's in cursed shore has no appeal.

Running frac's more has no appeal( have gotten all my ascended/infused gear for two characters). Stopped at level 37.

Alts are mostly done, need some exotics for a few. no urge to go further there.

Have 176 gold. Ya, im poor, but i dont need anymore, and grinding it has become boring.

 

All in all, i foresee the end of gw2 for me. They will release a little content in the coming months, but nothing that'll keep me going until they give me more. i'll be back to snooping for new games to play while waiting for this one to churn out more content.

 All your ascended gear? Exactly which pieces do you have out of curiosity? I'm still trying to decide what to focus on, right now eyeballing more damage oriented in lieu of toughness/vit...

click to make bigger:D

I am running power/vit/toughness everything, with precision runed in from superior eagle. the rings for this char are ruriks royal signet ring and aldeberns royal signet ring, they give power tough vit each in abundance.

My ranger has two infused Vine of the Pale tree rings, one belongs to her in the pic, too lazy to send it over. She is my WvW char, mostly wall defense, so max hurt was needed.

I also have a infused snaff's gyre for both of them, for farming.(gives nice magic find boost)

Both have tier 2 capacitor backpieces(the not infused ones) as i dont need to waste the ectos yet on upgrading them.

25 agony resist between the two +10 rings and the +5 backpiece is plenty AR(max is 30, i have 25)

 Nice, that's more time fractaling than I've done so far... need to get back into that after the holidays. I couldn't see if you got the quiver or book for the backpiece... sounds like the book? (I think you meant exotics on the gear aside from the rings and backpieces however.)  Appreciate the shared info!

 Wushu. Sounds like it belongs on a cheap buffett.

I'm surprised it took anyone this long to hit the wall, it took me roughly a month. Just goes to show, that themeparks aren't the way to go these days. Missing the days when i'd still happily log in after a year of "faithful service".. pretty much everything since WoW has been a 1-2 month treck with no depth.

inb4 "alts", i don't do alts, and after all, that'd just been recycling same content with slightly different skills.

"wow..i,m still on my first char at lvl 55..but 1000+ hrs in you definately got your money's worth.but do you think you rushed the game and thats why you hit the wall or is that just your normal pace?.reason i ask is i,m an extremely slow player..and with the game going nowhere i dont feel the need to rush."

LOL. I have level 61, 51, 41 and 40 characters and I have played at least 2 hours a night and 16 hours on weekends. I don't mind. I do not pvp and I do not do dungeons - I am too much of a noob. I still enjoy the game.  Like the poster above I am enjoying the journey.

I can't even wrap my head around that...  10 hours a day, every day (average)?

wow.

Yea i would hit a wall doing just about anything that much...

No, it's the fractal capacitor backpiece from fracs. Grind out tokens, buy with tokens. Who wants to waste gold? pshhaw!

I know what I would say if I held up to the one MMO I played for the longest.

I havent played any MMO for 1k hours. Had been looking for one that would last that long for quite some time. Hence it was much needed. Compared to skyrim because it is the latest game that released that i put serious time in.

 

Here's hoping this next game i find will be a proper sandbox that will give as much as i want from it while waiting for gw2 expansions to come!

Okay, so a pretty positive thread all around.

What do you hope of getting out of this thread?  Or is it only meant as a way to cheer for GW2 a bit?

Not hoping anything comes of the thread...and yeah, am kinda happy i found a game that gave that much. So cheers to gw2 i guess! lol

 

I ask because people usually stop playing and you never hear from them again. 

What forums have YOU been browsing? lmao. MMORPG.com surely doesnt operate in this manner, eh?

Must be nice not to have a job and focus all your time just playing! Yea, some of us remember those days and times invested.

Unless taking care of my kid doesnt count as a job, i have a very busy one.

But yes, being a stay at home dad affords me quite the time to play.

 Oh, right, nearly forgot about that one.

Wow with that much time investment, no game will keep your attention for long. I mean there is just so much you can get out of a game. 1k hours is crazy especially in 4 months. No sandbox or themepark MMO, actually no game for that matter can last you for long if you play so much.

You must get bored of single player games and regular multiplayer games in less than 1-2 days.
