Curse

Alright, well I haven't played Guildwars since about EOTN came out. To me, titles and fancy armor that I have to grind for, really just don't appeal to me, as if I am going to grind I would at least want some sort of reward stat or power wise.

I capped most of the useful elites on my Warrior, Necro, and Ranger, and then I just really didn't know what to do. Sure there is pvp, that was fun but if that is all I'm going to do, I'd rather play an fps like TF2.

I guess it is just the blatant lack of content that made me quit.

So has anything new happened or do you guys have any suggestions on what to do to keep the game somewhat fresh?

I am not trying to say Guild Wars is bad, or anything of that nature. I was just stating what made me lose interest. (Just to clarify)

Nope it's still bad, and it isn't getting any better.

Don't bother broski, buy Cod4 if you want competition.

Slaine · Feb 17, 2008, 02:48 AM // 02:48

yeah same reasons why i quit. just boring, already did everything.
nothing has changed, still sucks

Sweet Victory · Feb 17, 2008, 03:02 AM // 03:02

I couldn't tell if some of that was sarcasm or not.

It's a shame, I really enjoyed GW. But I guess ANET hates content adding updates.

Let's just wait for 2009's Christmas' Guild Wars2 X(.
Let's just hope it's worth the wait X(!
Ones they show Screenies of the Game people would be blabbering bout GW again XD.

Sweet Victory · Feb 17, 2008, 03:05 AM // 03:05

I guess I fail to see how that would liven up playing GW.

Bryant Again · Feb 17, 2008, 03:07 AM // 03:07

Nah, nothing new has happened. Same as it has been since you left, really.

And go TF2 for competition >: ) or even better: Pick up le Orange Box.

Sweet Victory · Feb 17, 2008, 03:10 AM // 03:10

Nah, I bought it bundled with garry's mod, I don't really care for SP games, although I do love coop campaigns which is why portal and HL2 series didn't cause me to want to spend more money.

Games change and so do people.

Sometimes you interest diverge, sometimes converge.

I'm lucky and every single change was one I wished or suggested. Insignia, PVE skills, Heroes, end-mision chests...

It's like with a couple. When the charm is broken, you can either accept it or find another couple.

Sweet Victory · Feb 17, 2008, 03:20 AM // 03:20

So what keeps you interested?

MithranArkanere · Feb 17, 2008, 03:52 AM // 03:52

Updates!

As long as there are updates I will never leave the game! If I put gw.exe /image and the download bar appears, that thrilling!
I go to the wiki and check what's new.
And when I find that they fixed some worn translations I reported... yay! That's superb!
And when they added something I suggested or supported... that's wondrous!
And when they add something absolutely new I never thought of... that's the best!

Once updates stop, the game would be dead for me.

Songbringer · Feb 17, 2008, 04:07 AM // 04:07

Meh I wish that would add some new areas and keep expanding the game so there would be something new to do. ^^. Once you have beat the games and grinded out the titles you want. Done all the farms there are. Nothing exciting left. I don't know, maybe bring out another high end area. That would get people excited for a month or so. Then it would just be ursanway through it again.

However I still play. Not for the game but for the people. Nothing like getting on logging on a guild's vent(that I am not really in) and saying hey u Bast**** wana ha? Then we go own ha and hold for a few hours(like last night). GO FINE!!!

I stopped playing for about a year and restarted about 2 weeks ago. I did find some new skills that I had to have, so I bought the eye of the north expansion. And after reading the build wiki, I had to try some of the new builds after so many updates since I left. So, if you enjoyed playing GW before because you liked playing around to see if you could find the Perfect build for some of your favorite missions, then it's definitely worth coming back. If you liked GW because of the style of play, then nothing has changed. Even with the new expansion, it's still the same old guild wars.

Crom The Pale · Feb 17, 2008, 04:27 AM // 04:27

Games get old, that stops some people from enjoying them but not others.

While I still enjoy playing GW I find that my time spent is greatly decreased from what it was 2 years ago. I rarely stay online for more than 1hour at a time now and that limits some of what I can do.

If you left after EOTN because you were bored, don't bother coming back, because nothing has changed radically. Worse, it's not going to, since EOTN was the last major content update, from what Anet have said.

Well, Guild Wars isn't really meant to "keep you interested." It's no different than any other single-player game, only that this one can only be played on-line. You're supposed to play it and have whatever fun you'd like with it until you're bored. Guild Wars isn't made or tailored to addict you.

Oh man, get portal. It's so damn good.

GrimEye · Feb 17, 2008, 05:00 AM // 05:00

I guess from the GWGURU posters, GW sucks.

I guess people playing GW should stop playing GW for a while, and do more posting in GWGURU.

My take.

Believe him, just the credits is worth the price of the entire game. Imagine the rest.

It's an award-winning game too.
