Guild Wars 2: The One Thread

[Kouki]

Guild wars just raped Swotor, Underwater combat zones cities monsters and different skills weapons for water combat.
And its going to work good in pvp too.

Swotor wont even let you swim.

[Valeron]

Keep game-bashing out of the thread please - this isn't a competition.

Seems to be a strange phenomenon, competition from fans of video games.

You got a beef with SW:ToR? Strange as I didn't see "SW:ToR vs GW2" in the topic or something in those lines.

Yes it is. And my dad can totally beat up your dad.









(Seriously though I agree with you)

[Kouki]

Its not a beef with swotor, don't put words in my mouth.

I like under water in games, i liked Vashjir and i knew going in blizz was going to have trouble but they overcame it to a point.
pvp in underwater could not be done, and why did fire spells and guns etc still work under water in wow?

Aion Didn't let you swim until long after i quit.

And now Guild wars has the best underwater, this is not to bash the other games, they tried and failed.

This is a guild wars 2 thread i cant congratulate them on beating the competition?

The way you said it was bashing swtor. If you said something along the lines of "Well done GW2 for making the best underwater combat i have seen to date" then you would of been congratulating them and not bashing at the same time

Heaven forbid people act like GW2 fans in the GW2 thread.

[Blznsmri]

We like to keep the competition bullshit out of this thread, that's all.

[Drakhar]

Yeah, or point out that the devs of the game in direct competition with them basically said "we're not going to touch that with a 20 foot pole," while ANet seems to have produced the proverbial lemonade out of lemons. Also love how he got flamed for saying basically the same thing I did not even a page earlier. It's not so much a pissing contest as much as game 1 didn't even bother with issue #23, while game 2 came up with a fantastic solution to the problem. GJ game 2! ... Sooo pretty much a microcosm of the way both of these games are playing out. Creativity and innovation vs. stale game design and risk-aversion.

Oh wow, looks like I have some catching up to do tonight with those updates. Thanks for being stand-up guys in regards to people that wouldnt mind a war.

Just in case anyone hasn't seen them, check out these two articles:
http://www.massiveonlinegamer.com/pr...wrap-up-part-1
http://www.massiveonlinegamer.com/pr...wrap-up-part-2

They're detailed and well written, but the best thing is they're written by someone who was pretty sceptical of the game. Something to point people to when they accuse us of being fanbois

Eric then answered a question in a guru thread confirming he will be buying GW2: http://www.guildwars2guru.com/forum/...ay-t18269.html

[Edge-]

Yeah, there was a TON of good information that came out of that event. And from what I've heard from people who went (media and fans), it was a blast, especially the media day held on Thursday.

[Mothhive]

Awesome! Good to see that even the sceptics are coming around when they actually get to experience the game.

Another positive dungeon review

This is another that is fairly even-handed (he does have some criticisms) but I actually take his main criticism - that story mode seemed kinda easy - to be a good thing. He says explore mode was tough. So to me, those dungeons are balanced just right. Story mode is pretty gentle, so everyone can see the story, experience the lore. Then those who have more time/want a challenge can do the explorer mode.

Honestly, reviews like this and the ones at Eric at Massive, which don't simply scream praise, but are still positive overall, actually make me more psyched for the game. These are guys who are ready to criticise where they see faults . . . and GW2 is scoring well with them

[Relente]

This game just keeps looking better and better. I am glad you will actually get decent experience from the dungeons, some people from fan day said they ran the explorer mode of the Catacombs and leveled from 35 to 42 in 5 hours, but a lot of the time was due to wipes because the explorer mode is suppose to be hard.

[Trollsbane]

As someone who has always hated underwater combat, that looks pretty good. Still not appealing to me (the underwater aspect), but way the fuck better than any other game I've seen try to tackle it.

I personally love being able to make use of the Z-axis, and GW2 just... you know, I can't find a none water related analogy so... blew every other water combat thing out of the water.
