Wintersday is coming!
More content is on it's way. Not sure what it will bring. Probably some silly daily quests for loot and what not.
The nights may be long and dark, but Tyrians of all races keep joy alive during the ancient holiday of Wintersday. While each race celebrates Wintersday in their own unique way, children all over Tyria share a common love of one thing: toys.
This year the city of Lion’s Arch will host the asuran Toymaker Tixx as their special Wintersday guest of honor. Before Tixx arrives in Lion’s Arch in his massive airship toy workshop, he’ll visit every major city in Tyria to deliver Wintersday toys and holiday cheer.
Yay, another event... I'll likely be traveling while this takes place anyway so I just hope they finally come through with the class fixes they've been promising for so long. Some new content for PvP and WvW would be nice.
I'm hearing that a Jesus patch for WvWvW is in the works. No info yet. I'd love to see some organization features built in. A way for Commanders to communicate to sqauds. Mindless zergs are pretty gay.
I'm also hoping for the promised Ranger buffs. I'm really digging playing that profession and would like to continue it when I hit 80.
The patch on the 14th will include a 25% run speed on Signet of the Hunt as well as improved arrow speed for bows. These are the only confirmed buffs for Rangers so far but pretty nice to hear. I almost exclusively play my Ranger now as I find Thief and Warrior kinda boring so I've been eagerly awaiting some fixes for the profession. While I don't thnk they are as bad as the whiners on the forums claim they are they definitely need help/reworking in several areas.
WvW and sPvP need something new added because right now both of these features are dying. I've given up on sPvP along with the majority of GW2 players and though I still love WvW the population here is slowly disappearing. Even on a Friday night right after the reset on a Tier 1 server there is no queue and quite often an Outmanned buff.
I'm still loving this game. I just wish I didn't have so much other stuff going on...I'd actually be able to sit down and play more.
On another note, I finally hit lvl 24 the other night! At this rate, I may hit 80 w/ my Elementalist by Christmas 2013!.gif "92")
I play off and on a couple of times a week. I try to make one of the nights of WvW. And I'll play this if my kids are hogging the xbox.
Sounds like some "encouraging" of said xbox may be in order..gif "160")
I saw those buffs for the Ranger class. I figured they'd buff them before I hit 80 (I'm 46ish now). That'll be nice. I found a new WvW build for my Warrior that I want to try. It's similiar to the YoJack build but I think will put out more DPS.
I'd like to get into sPvP but I'm just not crazy with it's current set up. They need new maps/objectives. They should copy what SWToR did as I really think they nailed it. They had some really good Warzones. Also, one of sPvP's biggest issue is just rolling with a random team. pPvP is supposed to fix that as you can go in with a team.
WvW is great but I think the 4 battlegrounds may be a bit much. The other big problem is there is no rotation on Servers. Teir 1 has been the same for weeks now. Hell, we've fought Jade Quarry for how long? I still like WvW a lot but it seems our guild has moved on for the most part. I think it'll pick up once they put in Ascension gear (or some WvW only gear).
All in all, I still like the game. I play part time (mix between this, Black Ops and Halo). There's a lot to do and the subscription price can't be beat.
