Early Thoughts on Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure

These were my first impressions from the content that was launched with Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure. It took way too long to finish this video, since I was learning how to edit, and the video ended up being pretty long. Since the writing of this video, my thoughts have changed on a few things, since more of the expansion has been released. But overall I still hold a lot of the same sentiment about the expansion and the direction Anet is going with the game.

I assumed you had like 10k subs from the quality of the video until I actually checked 😳 well done

@wyldlibrarian3549

So glad that you put this out and i thoroughly enjoyed it. I do hope you will continue to make gw2 videos. You have talent and a great take on things. Well done friend.

@AzureRoxe

Fast forward to the World First race, where it's very clear that the new challenge mode strike is tuned around DPS benchmarks, then the powercreep is absolutely here to stay and going to get worse in the future.

This feels like the only honest review unlike other youtubers who praise this DLC like it was on par to HoT, PoF and EoD. Thanks for the honesty.

@MusPuiDiTe

This video is really well made, editing experience not being an issue for sure. Would love to see more constructive criticism videos like these, that propose solutions and highlights/pinpoints the things that can be improved! Hope to see some more in the future if you feel like sharing your opinions 😉

Randomly came across this video. Nice job! kinda makes me want to try the game out, never played b4.

@joshuaherring9674

So glad you also said maps are laggy! I just assumed it was my potato computer. It I don’t that issue anywhere else so I was confused

@WordsOfTheTeacher

Since no one asked I'll share my two cents (for perspective, a 9 year player who's loved this game so much I've never even really taken a break lol)

Locking content behind raid stile missions is killing the game. We told them when they did it and blocked so many from getting the turtle. Now they did it more and many can't finish the current end game. So many will quit, some will just not return to that map and so many who want to finish will again be left behind to languish behind raid content most don't care to or don't have the time to learn how to get past. WTG Anet.

Great review, I've pretty much quit the game a few years ago but considering buying this, going through it and laying the game off again.

@EliferetaX

Soto honestly feels a little more shallow than i prefer tbh. I hope they put more into gw2 in the future.

@rafaelteles4161

Tbh my biggest motivation to buy soto has been the vault special unlock

@TheTrawojad

Finally, someone pointed out the problems this expansion faces. I agree with many of the pros and cons. In particular, I like the close comparison between the expansions that have been released so far. SotO does not exist in a vacuum, only in a game that has been operating for a long time, and the price of this expansion, although lower, is only slightly lower so it should be assessed accordingly.
