    In Guild Wars 2, raids failed-not so much because of their difficulty, but because accessibility was the far greater problem. The gap between regular pve content and raids is too wide, and players don’t have a proper progression curve. Anet wants to flatten that curve by providing pve content that is more similar to raids, as seen with the Janthir Syntri meta and the New Convergence
    If the target audience for raids-players who regularly engage in them-is happy, then this is a great success for Anet.
    If Anet were purely focused on making money and attracting more players, they wouldn’t have created a new raid in the first place. They created content for a niche group to enhance the quality of the game. That’s something worth applauding.

    nicely said Darren i totally agree with your sentiments about this latest update , too short by a longway ? and raids are wilbe as you say , people will not play . i feel your frustrations and most players will feel exactly the same . JMO .

    Honestly it’s not so dramatic. Not every patch has to be huge. The quality of the content is good and that’s the most important thing. I’d rather have less but higher quality then more but lower quality

    I've had this feeling for quite a while, I feel like A-Net know what the majority of the GW2 player-base are engaging themselves in and in turn the greatest percentage of players who spend some amount of money on the game. I'm referring to open world casual enjoyers, role players and fashion collectors. For A-Net, as long as they deliver new maps, metas and skins, they'll do just fine, the rest are just sprinkles on top.

      Im one of these open world enjoyers who got his account up to 130k gold worth within 1 year so I’ve spent quite a bit of money lol. And janthir is the worst expansion so far. I spend 99% of my time in HoT, PoF and wvw and even in soto because they are loaded with metas wi is cool.
      Janthir has absolutely nothing, I’ve finished it within a week, the meta is boring and non rewarding and so is the rest of the expansion. The spear is not my taste I wish we would have gotten. A gen 3 spear instead with all variants since that would give much more content.
      I’m super disappointed so far

    I agree with some people the patch doesnt need to massive but I feel like all the budget for this patch was spent in the raid/convergence/final part of the story. We got three chapters which it could've been all in one chapter, the 2nd chapter is laughable its literally one instance of talking and that's it you finished it and the mastery was also an afterthought 100% its such a non thing to work towards specially since housing is so damn expensive... If this patch was on JW release it would've been so much better

    Just completed the story yesterday and I'm absolutely shocked at the low effort. I can't believe they took 3 months to build this when I get 5x more story content every 6 weeks in Genshin Impact. The dialogue writing is still fantastic but everything else from the story quantity to the presentation (less than a dozen people fighting 3 Titans? Really?) is just shocking. This is so far from the AAA standards GW2 had set before and comes across exactly like the understaffed indie budget it was probably on.
    They've had the technology to make everything feel way more epic.
    They could have used the "True Ending" achievement to guide the players to do convergence to fight the 3 Titans before the final story instance so that the fights feel way more epic and difficult.
    Then they could have implemented the path voting feature from Dungeons in the convergence for the squad to choose which titan to fight so you don't have to rely on RNG to clear all 3 Titans before doing the final story instance.
    And finally, they could have had a more intimate and realistic final encounter in the final story instance with a weakened Ura or even all 3 weakened Titans via a post-convergence fight like Mordremoth in Hearts & Minds after the Dragon Stand meta, or the fight with Ryland after Dragonstorm.
    It's just effin tragic.

      It seems like nowadays the story is just an after thought unfortunately.. didn't feel anything,.. They either need way more manpower to flesh it out on time, or need way more time make it good. I was worried tight deadlines will kill the creativity and it came true sadly.. First with SOTO and now this.
      I would be much happier if we get an epic adventure every 2-3 years after a content drought rather than getting fed with a constant mediocrity throughout the year.

  • @McMarc_1993
    @McMarc_1993 หลายเดือนก่อน

    As an avid gw2 enjoyer, there was nothing interesting about this patch for me. I don't like the new spear visually, I am not interested in the raid because of them reusing the titans which I thought were already poorly designed in open world, no real masteries (not a homestead enjoyer), no new map, wvw changes are ... weird (especially the new time it takes to upgrade objectives). I didnt log more than 2 hours since launch and don't see myself playing much outside of wvw the next 3 months. I will play the story at some point, but won't happen any time soon.
    I get that not every patch has to be huge, and I totally see why some people like this patch, but I certainly am not one of them.

    Siento que no le pusieron mucho esfuerzo a la raid, poco dialogo, poco lore, solo bosses con muchos millones de vida y un monton de daño que puede ser mitigado llevando mas healers (enfrentamientos aun mas largos), comparado con las raids anteriores, esto no se merece ni el nombre de raid...

  • @traviscue2099
    @traviscue2099 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    The raids 100% need to be nerfed for new players, I got down Greer finally after 2 hours.. And its clear that they need to balance it a little.. But if we want more raids in the future, this raid needs to have pugs getting down at least one of the bosses. Since when you look at this patch for 95% of players, its just the convergence. If statics are having issues with the raid, so is everyone else.

      i think it's just clearly obvious that they are compensating for the current power creep the game suffers from, i feel too many people in this game don't even believe that it is even an issue, but if you go to older content, things are getting melted, new players don't even have a chance of getting to said content in the first place, i can name a few, mordremoth is dying in 3 minutes right now, patriarch and matriarch in Verdant Brink? getting absolutely wiped instantly, i could go on and on, it's obvious the game needs to be revised, especially because a new players experience of the game is HoT and PoF.

      @@Raindrop511 Oh for sure, they need to add more health to the HoT/PoF metas when they scale to max players. But the content they add also needs to be completed by most of the players when its all their adding. If no one can beat or attempt the raids, we won't be getting anymore.. That's my issue, I want people to do them and have fun.. Like I had fun for the challange of beating Greer so far, but most players won't get that far.

    I call bullshit, you're comparing or weighing this patch to that of previous ones that had way more time to cook. 3 month increments are better and keeps people playing more consistently with less gaps in downtime. A bunch in my Guild have done w8 and enjoyed it. I get being critical and we have to be, but you often do more critisizing than praising.

    • @MoonBearBush

      You could also look at this way. People can only come back so many times to be let down by the lack of actual content. The truth is, they may as well just release a full expansion in one go at this rate as I can tell you right now. There’s players that won’t even touch the game until it’s all released at once.
