ANet lost touch.

I dont really have a problem with the grind of titles and things in EOTN, cuz theres gonna be ppl who play the game differently and at different speeds. But I do think (as is confirmed by many of my friends in game) that specific things in the art department of guild wars were lacking in terms of effort. At least it feels that way. Maybe they worked really hard on it, dunno, but i highly doubt it by the fact that we see recycled skins nearly everywhere if you just recognize it. Most of the dungeons have a recycling of sorrows furnace or UW, and the northern shiverpeaks have nothing unique to distinguish them by in terms of landscape. I used to take this part of guild wars for granted, but now i see that it was a big part of my enjoyment out of the game. who knows, maybe it was our lack of enthusiasm for great graphics that made anet figure that they could take an easy approach in that department.

They have to include Hardmode at some point.
Some people have pointed out that faction ranks won't level above 8 in normal mode.

I disagree with the grind complains, and pretty much all of the OP, except for one fact.

God, why do they give Heroes such wonderful good lucking armors?, I don't care if they leave them with one set of ugly armor or if they run around naked for that matter, but they should give us that kind of armors U_U, even if they can't be dyed i wouldn't care U_U

Other than that, i have had a lot of fun in gw:en.

The problem is that Anet introduces high titles and no way to get to them except by grinding. I am very glad Anet put this out though, saved me money since I wont be buying GW2

What's really concerning me the most is how many of the respectable people on this forum are actually in agreement with this. That really gets to me, and says something.

All I can say about GWEN is I can't believe I paid 40 bucks for this... damn, I got owned. This tiny expansion should have cost 15.99, as clearly minimal effort was put into it.. Clearly they are working hard on Gw2.. EOTN was more disappointing then factions, but what can I expect.. It was only an expansion.

If this is the way they are approaching the planning of GW2, I'm glad I'll have the choice of better MMO's before then(Age of Conan, Hellgate:London)

The armors for players... Are kinda lacking. The heroes seem to have all the shway armor.

I love the "universally equipable armors" that are now available. They need to make them rediculous prices, too. I might eventually get one, but they should be things you strive to get. Chaos Gauntlets on Monks just looks cooler than hell.

Overall, I am very impressed with GW:EN. There are still alot of glitches, but they'll all be worked out over time.

HoM still sucks. I'm staying away from it.

There's nothing new to be excited about. Wow...armor that looks pretty much the same as all the other ones...great...it still functions the same as my current 15k armors so why should I care about them? The game can apparently be finished VERY quickly, seeing as how it was beaten by noon the same day it was released. New skills? Are you kidding me? Most of them are generic and useless. Look at the warrior skills. They don't fit into any builds. I tried Grapple + "I Meant to Do that" and one skill is better than it...Shock. Monk isn't much better. Cure Hex? Wow lot's of thought there.

What the hell was the point of GW:EN? Sounds like they're stealing money from us. New campaigns lasted for a long time...brought new skills and ELITES to all the professions...hell even introduced NEW professions and armor that actually looks different. Way more than GW:EN...all for 50$. They expect me to pay 40$ for a quarter of what is in other campaigns? For a crappy story? (Seriously, the whole some power wants to destroy everything and we have to stop it montage is getting OLD).

ANET just wanted money. That's it. GW:EN is nothing. I haven't even got it yet, and I see no reason to do such. PvE in GW was already lacking any real bases, and without any PvP side expansion, well this is just a pointless addon.

I'll say what I say on all of them

I found the armor, the weapons, the minipet, and the dungeons dissapointing. I also found the dngame boss and the cheap tormented weapons- err, I mean, destroyer weapons, to be jokes.

Again, as much as I agree, enough trolling.

You only do PvP, don'tchya? No, I PvE, but there isn't any reason to it. Why the hell are you going to devote 100hours of gameplay to get armor that just looks different but doesn't function different? How is that fun? You could devote that 100 hours to working and earn real money. The only reason I PvE is because it's one of the only RPGs that I can play with my brother/friends easily. But after you beat the campaign, which is very short, there isn't much left. At least PvP has the purpose of fighting other players. Even that has its limits. But really, no one cares if you have full obsidian with chaos gloves and req 8 swords. So why spend the time on it? And why release a PvE only expansion that really isn't decent enough to be called that? I thought this game was created based on PvP...hence the whole guild WARS. They should have at least added new elite skills, because there is just nothing that I see that condones FOURTY dollars. Campaigns were 50$ and you got a lot out of them...40$ for just more of the same old PvE, with no new PvP? How do they condone that?

I really hope that ANet goes back and adds 40 new sets to the game as other options to make up for this. This is supposed to be the only expansion and they have 2 years to get her done.


Lack of HM? I think it'll pop up in another month or two.


PvE skill balance? I really don't see the point if it isn't a SB type exploit.
