Curse

farmerfez · May 11, 2010, 12:55 AM // 00:55

So I've sort of outplayed anyother games I currently have and I want to get back into GW but everytime i log on I run around for about 10 mins then log off...Is there really anything left to do? Completed everything on my main, got all the armor and weapons I want, don't really feel like title grinding but I guess I could if I had nothing else to do. Considering i've been out of the loop for some time I have no idea about any farming groups or runs so that takes that out of the question....Not saying I couldn't learn if I had enough motivation :P

Read up on the WiK stuff that's been happening lately.

If that's not interesting you, wait around a few weeks for the next update to roll out.

If that doesn't bring you back, uninstall and come back when something comes out that peaks your interest.

You say you've been out of the loop for a while; why not start another character in a class you haven't played before, perhaps in a different campaign so the starting areas at least would be new to you? And take your time with it too, learn to have fun with the game in the same way you did when you started, before titles, elite gear and moar golds ever "mattered".

some of the newish farming builds are fun as far as the team stuff goes. i miss solo farming but i am having a lot of fun with the SoOSC groups and such. Like a fast paced version of Ursan with kiting involved.

Just quit GW, it's dead. Go fine a better game like MW2 or SC2, or even arma. There are lot's choices out there so you don't have to waste your time away on a dying game. You play for fun, no? Then don't force yourself to play a game that you're already bored to death with. And title grind? that's just an excuse to waste your time on GW, in the end, you really don't feel like you had much fun. (Finally....10k exp till this title, 3 more areas till XX vanquished, you'll feel like shit, i'm talking from experience)

Missing HB · May 11, 2010, 07:26 AM // 07:26

Thing is GW2 was first announced at end of 2008 , and since that time ( or even after EotN release ) , we got very few content updates , and not many " good " ones ( very few efficient skills updates aswell ) . That's why more and more players quit game , or just log to go kamadan .. .
Actually , i'd rather say we should wait for that promised " war in kryta " content , but in my opinion we can't expect much from it, regarding how much they cared about updates since september ( henchman contest fiasco , codex fiasco , last skill update ( SW ) fiasco , etc .. ) ( at best , it will be 4-5 quests ) . Maybe i'm wrong , but well , they re being so predictible in updates ( with costumes especially ) , that's it hard to believe the opposite.

I could try to declare GW2 dead hoping to be the first, but i bet i'm too late for that too.

Yea? then how about checking the amount of people GW had at its peak and the amount of people that actually plays the game now? It's a downward trend hon.

but really, it's a game, it's your choice whether it's getting boring(aka time to move on to a different game) or it's still worth playing.

I used to spend a lot of time in areas like Fort Aspenwood, Jade Quarry and Random Arena(and occasionally going to HA back before people started blocking out those without a fame title). These days I tend to go for vanquishing, dungeons and challenge missions when enough of my guild mates are interested. I hope that helps give you some ideas on what to do.

I just started up again too. Everywhere is deserted

I thought to play some AB, but there was no one there! It used to be packed.... I can't even find a pug to play with in pve.

I only started because I heard about this kryta business. I hope it is fun. I wish it is going to be the same as or better than the sorrows furnace update. That was wickedly fun.

Try International District. I have no problems finding a group there.

Totally cliché but GW is what you make it, especially now, and none of us really know if you will still enjoy the game as we all have differing and subjective ideas of enjoyment.

New content?

Not really hence it's a question of whether you want to roll a new and unplayed class, grind titles, farm or PvP.

As such there's nothing literally "new" to do but there are ways of revisiting the same content in vastly different ways.

I've spent the last few months helping newer players on early quests just to revisit missions I haven't played in years and have thoroughly enjoyed it.I've also dusted off a few old chars for PvP which has also been enjoyable as much has changed.

In the end it's all up to you really, try to avoid the grind though.

It's not, it might be to you or some people but that's not a "fact".

Switch to US districts.

I never wanter titles, but it only gets really grindy after the 25th title and all the other ones are quite fun actually.
Atleast I had fun

Voodoo Rage · May 12, 2010, 12:27 AM // 00:27

I'm surprised how many long time players really have only played 1 or 2 professions. Branch out, try new professions. Try playing unique builds. Try playing unique hero combinations. Start from a campaign you aren't overly familiar with. You'd be surprised how much enjoyment you can still squeeze out of this game.

Check Birthday Presents > do easy Z quests like A Time for Heroes > Do Traveler Weekly > Wait for content

I know I'm really weird in this regard but I absolutely love making new toons and taking them through all the campaigns and usually getting them a single set of nice armor. I literally have 19 characters across all the professions that I do take turns playing fairly regularly. Yes, my title tracks are all pretty mediocre but it's just the way I enjoy playing the game.

I am sort of like you in this reguard. I have taken all my chars through the campaigns, working on each of them. The ability to take any char to anyplace at any time and run any build gives me just as much enjoyment if not more than title progress.

Same for me. And, also, you learn much more from the game if you play it from different points of view. Titles are just...a graphic line

Returning to the original question, did you really really do everything? Apart from titles and simple campaign finishing you can try new builds, do challanges, zaishens if they're funny enough, and there's all those things in EotN if you have it (polimock, norn tournament, brawling and drinking contests etc). Or, as from what I read you're left alone after all this time, find a new guild and do all the funny things a guild does.

MagmaRed · May 12, 2010, 11:05 AM // 11:05

If you are bored on your main, and have done everything you can or want to do, then make a new character, or use a different one you already have. My main has done everything but a few account titles. I work on other characters and the account titles at the same time. My 'main' has been used extremely little over the past year since I have been playing other characters. Depending on how much time you play, it may get to a point where you have several 'main' characters. My Ranger is my 'main', but outside of account titles, there is nothing left to do on it. My Monk and Necro have little left to do now, as they only have account titles and the consumables left (Drunk, Sweet, and Party). My Ritualist and Mesmer are coming along now, as those are the ones I have been using. When I complete the Vanquisher, Guardian, and Cartography titles on them, I'll move on to my next character, unless GW2 is out by then.

If you enjoy the game, keep playing it. You don't have to spen all your time on one character. And if you play PvP, there are certainly options there. But to make the most of PvP you will want to make sure you find a guild that is active in it, as PUGing PvP is a lesson in futility.
