GW2 content

[Deleted]

Will there be as much contect as WoW for example? I never played GW but i will deffinetly try GW2

GW2 isn't going to have as much content right at launch as a 7-year MMO veteran that is now coming up on it's 4th expansion, but it'll certainly outmatch vanilla WoW's content by far.

To put it simply: you could git 20 Azeroths, including Northrend and Pandaria, into Tyria's massive landmass. And, no, most of it is not empty space or impassable mountains.

Dont see how it could have as much as its a F2P game. Sure in the beginning but not with patches. Will come expansions but I dont think it will come as much new stuff as its F2P.

There is more relevant content in GW2 than in WoW.

It's buy to play.

Difference?

League of Legends can be downloaded and installed for free.
Guild Wars 2 requires you to purchase the client/account before you install it on your PC.

I would love to reply with a real answer so I can talk about how great GW2 is, but there's been a couple of these threads recently...so give me a sec and I'll just search for those for you.

Here's one, http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/1103204-PvE-in-GW2.

This is one of the things I say in the threads like this...

There will be 1500+ dynamic events at launch, several dungeons, big dragon fights, skill challenges, a personal story line, mini-dungeons, and activities

and then there's pvp, bg type pvps, and WvW.

Wait, what? 20 Azeroths? These four continents? 20 bucking times? Are you sure? Because that's a helluva lot of land.

I saw an image once comparing the world size of several MMOs with map images...

And GW2 was freaking huge. 20 might be an exaggeration, but only by a little bit.

I think it's an exaggeration. I'm pretty sure GW2 is about the size of Azeroth+Outland though, and that's without the Crystal Desert, the places north of Kryta, the Wastes, and the other two continents that were in Gw.

The image you saw was of Nightfall.

WoW has more filler content than GW2 while GW2 has more end game content than WoW.

[grandpab]

This right here is what makes the content in GW2 so great. Quest givers be damned!

[Arrowstormen]

I tried to google it, and it was said a lot of times that GW2 should be as big as all the GW1 expansions/campaigns combined, but can anyone find a direct source for this statement?

Please explain your reasoning?..... Would love to know what you think gw2 end game is?

I'm a source. Quote me!

The whole game.

Everything you run into in the entire world in GW2 is end game, plus dungeons. WoW end game is limited to dungeons and raids, while everything in the world becomes irrelevant once you out level it.

That's excluding pvp.

Due to level scaling, all content is always relevant in the sense that you will never "out-level" the content. So in that sense, there is more level appropriate content at level 80 (level cap) than WoW, or most other MMO's have.

[Larynx]

Please explain your reasoning?..... Would love to know what you think gw2 end game is?

BGs (In WoW), Competitive PvP (In Wow /snicker)story mode (in WoW), Explorable mode (in WoW), WvWvW, Meta Events, Minigames, Everything in the world scales

(Story mode would be the dungeon niche, explorable mode the raiding niche)

And in WoW, only one raid every 6 months is relevant. Everything passed a certain point in WoW becomes irrelevant. (questing zones after you get too high, dungeons after you get geared, every single raid after the next patch, ect.)

Well yeah, but it was still the continent of Tyria.

I don't think WoW has that much content since everything before DS is basically obsolete. That's Blizzard's biggest mistake IMO. So if you think of it, WoW's content is only DS and the new dungeons... Which isn't a lot.
