What keeps this game alive for me is that it was buy to play. It's replayablity is very low, but its bought and paid for and new stuff comes out so I log in and check it out. I suspect many others do the same thing. At the end of the day, I think weapon swapping and a lack of readily available skills is just not enough to keep me entertained, its boring.

I got bored before beta ended. I play support classes so that might have something to do with it. |

I am not impressed by the "living story" so far, I rather have them put the work into the next expansion instead. I do play still, even if it is nowhere near as much as a few months ago. As I see it do the game needs more content, more skills, guildhouses and guild Vs guild PvP. 45 minutes of me helping some fugitives just didnt add much to me. Then again, maybe things get more intense later. |

Good to know the "Flame & Frost" prelude has its own dynamic event - I didn't come across it while lighting campfires and repairing roadside signs! I hope we get the promised choice of daily achievement components soon, dodging I don't like, and reviving NPCs is tedious. At a high level it costs a lot to move around the map from waypoint to waypoint, so moving from monsters you can use dodging on to places where there are dead NPCs, and on to a crafting station or a lake for aquatic kills, is a bit expensive... Different races, different alliances, different choices - one can go through the game to level 80 quite a few times finding different bits of the story, so things are definitely replayable. |

I too lost interest in GW2, after grinding my ass off in TA for the marks needed for the lvl 80 set, there seemed like nothing else left to do, but grind here and there and do more of the world exploration. And we all know how buggy and ridiculous dungeons are in GW2 so i guess i was left with world exploration. I enjoyed the story series of quests and i think that was the best part so far in this game, but on the other hand i hate it how in terms of class/character progression, after lvl 30 you get nothing new. All you do is change gear constantly without having any new skill to uncover and try. At least in GW1 we had elite skills to get, in GW2 it all ends after you hit 30. No more GW2 for me and no more buying gems for a long time, not until they bring something worthwhile.

If this was a sub game, I don't think people would be complaining as much. The reason being, you feel you have to play to get your moeny's worth out of it. Many of the GW2 complaints come from people who only seem to play games as jobs, meaning 10 hrs a day - 7 days a week. It is all they do. They feel they are entitled to more, and that is a big problem.
Back to the OT, it is a little weak but this is the beginning of it all. Soon they will also have a PvP update, which will, hopefully rectify many of the problems there. |

Mount? I have never played any game in less need of mounts then Gw2. Barely sometimes I'm even using some abilities that increase speed as there is no really need. So far was worth every cent. Rarely have seen such beautiful and complex world with miriad of jewels like gw2. My alts will have long jurney before will need detour. |

You can see them load faster than before since they're using placeholder models on enemy players. Same tech has not been applied to allies, but the bleeps on the map would let you know that someone has your back. |

Originally posted by botrytis Having now developed 5 lvl 80 chars and no room for any more, I am over gw2! Yes, I have made some very negative posts on the game, not because I hate the game, but in the hope that they would fix it. I see now that they will never do it the way that I would like it. I even tried leaving hints on their facebook page, but these were deleted and I am now blocked from any further input! Being a member of an active guild, I will still play the game, but most likely not as much as I have been because I no longer need to get any chars to level 80! Edited to add: In a game that requires the player to dodge, why is it that dodge never works for me? If I double tap the Q key, instead of jumping to the left, all my chars do is step to the left twice, Also tried the V key, but nothing hapens. The only time dodging works for me is when I am not in combat! |

Originally posted by Scorchien with the sea of F2P and increasingly B2P type games really don't see how you could come to that conclusion.. manyp lay because its a well made and fun game.. B2P helps keep people who normally couldn't afford a sub or multiple subs but if the game was a pile of trash it wouldn't be as popular as it is... I play games because they are enjoyable being B2P is nothing more than a bonus I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg |

Originally posted by Scorchien i'd say population wouldn't be as high for sure but overall the sheer amount of things to do at launch far surpasses most all sub based themeparks ever released. Can't see how GW2 isn't worth a sub if you could say any themepark is worth a sub at launch I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today.
