Quality. Speed. You can pick one.
But seriously, once every two weeks is pretty damn fast. It works out great for my friends and I, since we get one weekend to do the story content together, then another weekend to get all the achievements in the story missions.
I remember when Season 1 ended, everyone was like "oh thank god, a break, now I can catch up on some other stuff I wanted to do". And then a few months later, everyone was like "I miss the Living World two week schedule, I have nothing to do."
And now, I see people saying "this two week schedule is too fast" and "this two week schedule is too slow".
Yeah, it's just like that episode.
Kicked.
I just invited you, unless someone already did. Don't forget to press represent in the (G) guild panel
I don't currently have an issue with it, they keep creeping up on me really quick. I still keep thinking that the next update is next week.

The speed is fine, but I don't think we should just accept that the quality is there. The presentation has improved so drastically since the personal story stuff that it's kind of a shame to not see the content follow suite. The open world stuff is great, but most of the instanced stuff leaves me somewhere between occasionally surprised and disappointed.
Obliviously this is all my personal opinion, YMMV etc.

And that's always going to be the barrier here.
Some people are going to like the style of writing, storytelling, tone, etc of the Living World story instances, and some aren't. That will never change, no matter what, because all taste is subjective. I won't deny the quality of some of the writing isn't that great, but the tone and tempo of it has been, for Season 2 so far, pretty damn good for me. But then again, I'm not expecting high prose or Tolkien-level high fantasy wankery, I was pretty fine with cartoon-villain shit like Scarlet. Because I'm in it for the fun.

Looking at that list , i am so below casualness that a new word has to be invented to properly and accurately describe how casual i am .

Damn. We are a guild of casuals. Welp, time to uninstall everyone.
Unsubscribed, uninstalled and dismantled my computer.
I don't play much save for content updates, so the pace of LS updates are fine. There's not really enough to keep me around for more than one day, though.
Thing is, I think people want more toys. They want game changers; new weapons, new classes, new races, etc.
For most people, this is a silly thing to want given that most people don't play more than one or two classes as it is (like myself). For others, I understand the desire for expansion style content.

Seems the word "casual" makes people foam at the mouth.
My job is done.
No seriously, I shouldn't have used that word in my post.
My bad.
Too many different definition for most people.
Anyone else miss though the feeling at launch when you know you got 10+ zones to explore, 6+ dungeons to conquer, new races to try, new pvp modes, the endgame, etc all at once ? This is what I want again, and the LS will never give me that (even if some parts are good).
BTW, I don't give a shit if some 24/7 poopsocker finishes such content in 2 weeks and complain. Those guys will never be happy with either expansion or LS.

I just want to see more deliveries and fewer promises. They can add expansion like content with the LS. Well that would be nice to see more of.

I guarantee you, no matter how hardcore someone thinks they are, they're a casual to someone else. The labels are meaningless, and usually only used when someone is trying to bring some kind of stupid hierarchy into their argument, as a misguided "appeal to authority" style fallacy. "I'm hardcore, and thus my opinions are more valid!" type crap. (Not meaning to imply you did that)
That is why I relentlessly mock anyone who uses the words casual, or hardcore, seriously.

I remember a time when video games were played for fun. Then some dude said he was more hardcore than some other dude, who said he was more hardcore than another. Before you know it video games have turned into a race to see who can elevate to the highest level of hardcore and leave all of the casuals in the dust. Where they can sit on their throne and play with themselves all alone.
I'm being facetious obviously. I agree completely with your sentiment that it's ridiculous.

Are you still in the guild? I am sure I culled you because you never play anymore.
No, I quit the game and sent all my gold to your son.
Last night I tried some pistol/dagger action on thief instead of shortbow. For the purpose of trolling stragglers in EotM, pistol/dagger would seem to have the edge conceptually: stealth, control, and retreat for when my prey is more formidable than anticipated. Now I ought to test sword/dagger for this purpose as well.
My gf just found a parody of Pirates of Penzance's Major General song, which I didn't even know was a thing:

Original song:

Is there any other MMO with nearly as many elaborate easter eggs as this one? Sheesh. Didn't even come across that mission in all the time of playing.

To WoW's credit, it's full to the brim with reference, pop culture, and stuff like that. Then again, they've spent the last 10 years filling it with such things.
Wow that's pretty awesome!
Btw for anyone who is doing/considering doing key farming, I had a quick look into it and it seems 15 minutes is a good run: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-a66hc6u6g
To me, WoW takes it too far, where everything is a reference to a TV show, movie or internet meme. GW2 can be genuinely funny on its own without having to name drop Star Wars or the Simpsons every other quest (see Harpy Aphrodisiac, etc.)
A thief tried to fuck with me the other day in WvW with that skill set. He was really fun to fight, as I kept chilling him and he would stay that way even in stealth. Love love my WvW PvP spec.
God dammit double post
A Thief tried to screw with me when I was out on my own in WvW too, I was Sword/Warhorn'ing to get around quicker which they probably picked up on. Little did they know, I had Rampage slotted and I sat on him mwuhaha.

GW1 Beyond was a bit like the Living World. It was just drawn out way longer than the Flame and Frost Arc in GW2.
Missions were meh in GW1. You were only rewarded once (usually 2 plat, 2k experience) for Normal Mode and then something for Hard Mode. It wasn't until later that they added campaign books, Zaishen stuffs, titles, and weekend bonus events (now weekly) to get people to play them.
I remember Prophecies missions to be a lot of running. Canthan Missions were speed clears imo, lol. Eye of the North was fun.
I can see Anet adding new races via mini-expansion packs, since the only differences between the races are the first part of the PS and cosmetics. Payable new classes will bring its own problems, like whether if it's intentionally OP cause it's an additional cost, or nobody buying it if it's not. Any other content packs will just fragment the playerbase.

The same thing you should always do with any set amount of money that you acquire.
Mail it to me.
That's basically the same thing
Buy a lap dance from Braxzy.
