Anyone else feel like not playing until 2.0?

I'm a loss here guys! I got my Goobbue mount but after seeing a little of what 2.0 has to offer... I'm a little hesitant to level. Does anyone feel the same way? I know it's a little silly, but starting as a 50 feels like cheating! I could totally reroll I know! Guess I'm just waiting for the SEs anniversary to see the release of more jobs. I have this feeling that 2.0 is going to have more content for just leveling purposes rather than endgame content. SE Basically building the game from the ground up!!

What are your alls thoughts? Rerolling? What are your plans pre 2.0? Also, do you think SE is going to raise level cap before adding more end game content?

I pushed to get all the main stories done, GC's done, Livign on a prayer done, and last sub quest battle.

THen it's, well, maybe collect GC gear for jobs in case they go bye bye.

THe only end game content planned is the final battlement. The high level ones and GC related, then open world ones for various levels.

Then it's lights out.

yup, im waiting to level everything else when 2.0 comes out. until then GW2

the game feels like theres nothing in it now.

You know i've been really bored lately of playing this. i kinda agree, i pretty much just get on after updates to see more of the per-2.0 storyline. As far as leveling and stuff, levels 30-45 are sooo boring! Yoshi got me pretty pumped when he said there would be more quest/content to level from. I just hope he doesnt mean leve quests.

I doubt I will reroll. I have plenty I can still invest in my character. My plans are to prep by leveling the jobs I will want for 2.0. I have 7 more levels on Botany and I need to take Carpenter 1-50. I want to be able to make furniture for my Mog House. :)

I hope they wait a year or more to raise the level cap. With the release of 2.0 there will be plenty to do, and they plan on releasing regular patches to keep content fresh.

You still should go finish the main and GC storyline.
You can always level only 1 class to 50, leaving plenty for 2.0
And the story is a 1 time thing, so u arent cheating there...

From what my rusty memory serves me is that there will be options to do leves and/or do quest. Doing your quest from a crystal is a little odd to me and takes away from the immersion. I hope SE gives a little spice to leves...make it little more interactive or something.

I hear ya OP I have almost all things to 50 only have botany and fisher both at 44 to get to 50. I was trying to gear up classes with the class only gear that I make myself and finished the story stuff leading to 2.0. I havent beat Garuda hard or even started on relics but I honestly dont feel like doing that stuff right now.

I will keep my current char as Ive spent too much time to just dump her but I will reroll/alt a few other races and genders so I can experience 2.0 from the new player stand point. Like many others I too am anticipating more news as it is made available and can't believe the wait is nearly over to get a look see at beta.

Using this time to get as much progress on Relic (if not an actual weapon) :D

I've been playing since 2010. Too late for me, but you will miss out on some achievements, and the original story line. As a legacy member I can start I new character if I choose to. So I'm here until the servers go down.

Several of my friends have all dow / dom at 50 plus some crafts at 50. After all that work I wouldn't blame them if they kept with the same characters.

On the other hand though, I'll be holding off leveling until 2.0 hits. :)

Trying to get 7/7 on all primals before 2.0 as they'll no longer be obtainable. That's pretty much all I've been doing aside from leveling the rest of my craft. I have been getting bored and frustrated lately, though.

Re-rolling is not an option for me either, but I'll mess around since I'm a Legacy member.

I'm working hard to get my last luminary tools but struggling to finish Botanist and Fisher if the servers go down end of September so I desperately hope 1.23 stays up until at least end of October.

Working on my relic... stupid spirit bonding... :/

They haven't said the primal battles will be removed or that the weapon drops from them will be no longer optainable.

I do feel like playing and in some weird way I feel like 2.0 is coming way too fast for me. I feel like I have so many things I want to do in the current version! My personal to-do-list at the moment includes leveling last of my DoWs (3 to go), beating the dungeons with LS group (AV) and defeating Garuda.

I'm hoping they'll add a new class / job (ARC/SMN) for the release so I can experience the new content with that.

About to start that part ._.

I'm debating if I should take advantage of the stupid easy EXP and level other jobs while I keep farming Hamlet drops, or just pause and catch up on other things

like taking out the trash, eating, going for a walk, finding a girlfriend.....

Kinda yeah.

I mean, I haven't even gone into the moon controlling fort thing yet, but I feel like I need to.
Yeah, I'd miss out on the final fight, raven earrings, horn crown, and worshiper ring, but I don't feel much drive to try.

I will not reroll (maybe an alt though). I'm still working on those discontinued achievements, so I've been busy enough. And I spend WAY too much time crafting my already 50 craft, and generally milling about to be at risk of reaching all 50 by 2.0. So I'll still have some lower level stuff to play with.

I'm not hesitant to level, obviously from my signature, but I do agree, I'm bored as heck. I don't log in very often anymore, and it's not like I rushed to level 50 either. I have done the primals enough times that I have at least double weapons of everything for Ifrit and Moogle. Garuda is another story. You need a dedicated static party to complete that, and it just becomes a pain in the arse, really to even bother.

Also, a warning for you OP, don't assume or have a "feeling' that 2.0 is going to have more content for leveling purposes. You are raising your expectations without justification.

Bottom line is this, if you enjoy the game now, then play it. If you don't like the content now, don't expect any major changes in 2.0 anytime "soon". Hope this helps!

I'm going to try to force myself to level all those crafts I was too busy/lazy to level in the meantime until server shutdown. When I can, I'm trying to join PUGs to practice healing (never healed before <<), and other jobs that I play more often, to make sure I don't get rusty. I still think doing AV/CC speedruns, Garuda and Ifrit X, as well as Rivenroad (hard) are a lot of fun so if I get the chance outside of LS event then I take it.

Started playing GW2 on Saturday.

I can't see myself coming back till 2.0 now. I want to keep all the leveling fun for then.

I'll still no doubt be addicted to the forums though in case a new game play video or job is released.

Will probably log back in the see Black Shroud get destroyed.

I've only got one class at 50 and I feel pretty content keeping it that way until 2.0. I just log in and do a couple quests/leves and chat for awhile. I wouldn't really call that playing.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I log on now and again to craft a bit, but I really struggle to motivate myself to play at all. I was in a great linkshell (Save Point) but it dissolved a few months ago, so I don't really have anyone to do stuff with anymore. I've been invited to new linkshells, but it isn't the same, so at the moment I don't really do anything battle-related, unless I'm helping someone with Job/Grand Company quests or the odd Skirmish.

I think it's only natural that it is like this now, though. The end of 1.0 is close, and it feels like the only thing that matters are the Hildibrand Grand Company quests of each patch.

Well I still have too many things I want to get done before 2.0 hits. Plus like many players I have more than one job at 50 all ready. So yeah..I'm gonna keep playing. :P

Too late for this character but I'll definitely play an alt 1to50 in ARR just to try the low level stuff and get used to the new UI before I try the high level stuff.

ive got a serious case of Senioritis. Mostly just running out the clock lol

I feel a little the same, but I have a plan.

I leveled WHM and BLM to get into groups easier.
I Leveled BSM to be able to do DoH contet.
Leveling MIN to make money.

I have 2 classes I like and one meh class (Pugilist, Gladiator and Maurarder) left to play in ARR. So I'll be able to explore a lot of the world leveling away, And OFC every new class.

This way I can enjoy the current game to its fullest, Only things I've not done is Garuda (my PC was broken during the BLM days) CC win and Hard mode Darnus. I think it will work out quite well to enjoy all of 1.0 and ARR.

Outside of getting a garuda Kill, and possibly downing the raven in hard mode. I don't have much to do that is not a massive time sink. I will say though the main thing that has shot my drive to play this version in the ass was the gamescom game play footage.

After you see how smooth and responsive that client is you realize exactly how busted and screwed this one is.

I'm going to start working on the regional leve achievements that are going away in 2.0, but apart from doing Darnus Hard mode, I've done pretty much everything I've wanted to do. I'm working on getting my repair classes up to 40 so I can repair everything, and if I get REALLY bored, I might try to level some of the crafters further. But there are other games I want to play so doubtful that's going to happen before the game shuts down.

We still have one more lettered patch before the servers go down, but I doubt it's going to be much more than a day or two worth of stuff to do.

I've gotten every class to 50 so im a little torn now if i wan to go afk till 2.0. garuda is meh, the weapons arent very good and the effort to get them isnt worth it at all to have last another month or two then be replaced by 2.0.

Darnus hard mode is basically "hay guyz how good is your mumble group? lolz".

I find myself turning on my ps3 more and more, wanting to avoid this game. there just isnt much to it anymore.

My first plan about 7 months ago was to take a break until 2.0, but I found myself playing again about a month ago. I still have things to get to lvl50 anyway....

I plan on leveling my crafters to 50 between now and 2.0. As for combat classes, I only have 2 maxed out and wont be leveling the others until 2.0.

I've already jumped ship. Cancelled my sub a few weeks ago. Personally, for me there is not much content left in 1.0 that I find fun. Got all my battle classes to 50. A few crafting and even 2 DoL which I did out of boredom. Wont be back until 2.0. Best of luck to those who stay.

I just can't get into GW2. Played all alpha beta stages, and while it has come alogn way and some perticular things that urked me polished out for the release, I still just don't have the emersed feeling. Sorta happened to me with Rift as well.

I think I need to jsut cna jumping back and forth on mmo's till 2.0 Beta. I have a few single player rpgs to finish.

Remedies to your problem:

1) Make a new character

2) Save a job or 2 to level in 2.0

3) QUITCHERBITCHIN AND PLAY THE DAMNED AWESOME GAME O____O

lol Hey, I can cry, it's my party.

I'm finishing all my crafts to 50, working on relics... after I get Bravura tho.. what's to do?

I'm leaving a few jobs a bit lower so I can enjoy 2.0 when it hits (though I'm mainly going to be concentrating on the Arcanist/Summoner job regardless). For now, I'm just training my DoH up so since training it before and after wouldn't have much of a difference anyway. Plus, there's dated recipes I can take advantage of right now so using those while I can.
