Waste
PostedOctober 9, 2013
I played Guild Wars 1 for 8 years, and that WAS a fun game, one of the best PC games I ever played in my life, and there are only 2-3 "best PC Games I've ever played".
We who played GW regularly expected GW2 to be basically GW1, with different skills, professions, better graphics, fixed bugs and glitches, the addition of a Z axis (Swimming/Jumping), new items, new storyline, new maps, etc.
Instead, since some of Arenanet was fired from Blizzard (the makers of WoW) they decided to copy WoW pretty much Verbatim in mechanics, storyline, character creation, loot, and everything else.
I built my desktop computer just so it could run GW2, cost me just under $2000 (Like I bought the xbox 360 just to be able to play Halo 3 when it came out), and it was a complete disappointment.
But then again, members of Anet are brain damaged, we know this from some of the patches to Gw1 that helped destroy the player base and the game itself.
How dare they make an MMO. In all seriousness though it does have the same MMO trappings as any other MMO ever made, the draw of this game is leveling a character, getting gear, running dungeons, and playing with friends. I think GW2 does what it said it was going to do, but to each their own. never go into a game expecting the same thing as in the last one, that is just flawed thinking on your part. To draw in new players they needed to make something new and more inviting. GW1 was not user friendly for people new to MMOs.....nither is GW2 but at least it is an MMO and you can talk to people out in the open world, and not just in cities/instance areas.

Nothing special

I don't really see all the hype about this game. If your into pvp then this game is for u, classes are unbalanced. The game only really does pvp and not really pve very well. In pve if your the one doing all the damage then your the one that's going to get targeted, once targeted there is really no way to taunt off the unlucky guy that is targeted. No really dedicated healer or tank, self heals just are not enough to keep u alive. if a player dies any one can revive a fallen player so there is a lot of that going on in dungeons. the game don't have any 10 15 or 20 man raids it only 5 mans that's it. the bosses have no mechanics really u just dps them down and hope it don't target u. the pve is really boring in this game there is no end game content for pve. the game is really all about pvp. And there is no lore u really don't care about the main characters in the game if they live or die. To me the game seems to be all pvp and eye candy. there is really no need for a guild in this game kinda of ironic the game is called guild wars. If they would really put a great effort into pve this game would be all that it would have the best of both worlds.

Greatest MMO since WoW
PostedJune 5, 2013
This MMO is the best to come out since 2004. I mean there is so much to do. The PvP is SUPERB. Your having big PVP battles and its just amazing. Even questing is fun to do with this immerse world. Whats also interesting is the combat is surprisingly well fit. You could be playing this game JUST for the combat! Try this out even if you don't like MMO's!

Dead MMO
PostedMay 16, 2013
Yes it might be fun for leveling, but when you hit 80. Absolutely nothing to do afterwards. I literally see hundreds of people at the main city just sitting there. If you want an mmo that has beautiful graphics and sound, this one is for you. But I promise that you will not play this after you hit 80.Sure there maybe dungeons to do and pvp to do, but it gets too repetitive. I just don't see how people can do those dungeons everyday/week. PVP...no dueling??? It looks like guild wars 2 messed up on that one. The first thing I wanted to do is duel my friend, but I guess you cant do that!! Also if your a pvp fan and like to pvp with a friend, well guess what the chances that you will be with your friend in a game of PVP are slim. The only good thing about this game is probably WvW. After play WvW for about 2 hours that to gets really tiring. Overall yes the game was good 1-80.
