No GvG in Guild Wars 2

[Deleted]

I think you're not understanding what the word fact means. Fact means that there's a basis for the thesis (commonly called a "source") to be cited when stating said fact.

Oh damn you internet and your witty toasters. /wrist

"and it is a fact that it didn't was even close to playable"
This is false. I even have facts to back this up; this random YouTube video clearly shows GvG being played. Hence, it was playable (in case you've missed it, "playable" is made of the words "play" and "able", or in other words, "able to be played").

Christ, I worded that horribly - true. I deserved that :P. It is the fact that it was very poorly balanced - in every large GvG tournament people were using only 2 comps with almost no variations. And when you have millions and millions of possible combinations of skills and only 2 are used it means you have flawed system -> unbalanced.

Facts are not facts because you say "this is a fact". Facts are not facts because you say "I feel this is a fact". A fact is not a fact until it matches one of two criteria - either it has to be common base knowledge that everyone should know (such as the sun is hot, or water is wet), or it has to be backed up by evidence.

Everything I said about CoD it is common knowledge. You may not be familiar with it as very possibly you don't follow FPS games - it's ok, everyone likes different things. But few minutes with google (much shorter amount of time than what you have spent on your post) would tell you it's a simple truth. New CoD is a flag example of what's wrong with gaming industry (and players): the more dumbed down, less innovative and streamline game is - the better it sells.

I'm still not seeing any credible sources...

Also, common base knowledge was defined in my post as well. It was even defined in you quoting me. Something that everyone should know; base knowledge; examples being that the sun is hot and the water is wet. Something that you could head out on the street, ask random strangers about, and always get the same answer. If you ask people about Call of Duty's budgets and realism, you would not be able to get a constant definitive answer from it.

No GvG??? Wtf?
This was seriously the best thing GW1 had going for it and I assumed it would be a part of GW2 from day 1. Just preordered it this morning and I stumbled upon this thread. Verrrrry disappointing

I had some great times with past guildies and the sense of comradery was what made the game unique. A loss was tough but a win was exhilarating even if you weren't a part of the elite top 100 guilds. Really hope this gets implemented...

Am i only concerned about GvG in Guild Wars ?

Guild wars has always been based on Guild vs Guild

I stopped reading there. Sorry.

In gamescom interview Aidan Taylor answered on one important question:

Q: Will there be Guild vs. Guild fights in GW2?
A: We didn't named our games Guild Wars without a reason...

So yeah there will be guild vs. guild when they make it after release

I loved to spend hundreds of hours in my Guild Hall having fun with my guild mates planning and configuring a lot of team aspects guild wars offers,

Has anybody heard what the guild housing will be like? a building? an airship?

Itll be a guild hall, I'm assuming, like in GW1, it'll be on an island.

[DrakeWurrum]

Nobody knows.

I personally hope for airship.

an airship would be awesome :3
