Hi every 1 ,,,
i did read some subjects here from time tell i deside to reg. here
this is my first post and i would try be fast <3
first of all i would thx all players who add like this subject , and pls forive me if my english is bad cus it is my second language <3
what was gw2 for me? it was a game that i had been waiting around 5 years and i was so so exicited about this game i even make many friends come to gw2 or intresting to try it ( i even help some of them with payment by my card )
any way the game is lanuched now and we try it in beta and when it lanuch , so what is happen?
i am dispointed and i never never feel that i lost my money on a worthless game ,,, i am an old gamer and i have buy manyyy conoslt games and some pc games ,, i am not new in games beacuse i did play from old consolt like first nintendo tell that keyboard conoslt ( i think it called atari ) , sega - ps1-ps2- etc
this game is realy bad , and it is not a revoltion as we expect ,, it takes MMO backsteps
unfortanly i am still scared beacuse this media and lights help Anet in selling without even showing the full content
we was expecting good game , good content and the most importnat thing is quilty !
the quilty in this game is like a shadow
they just did the same crap other company did with adding some action part that make player at begging say ( omg omg omg gw2 <3 )
i am sry guys if my words did not feet some fanboys or people who like this game
actually i do not have problem if a person love this game , i am happy for him but i am talking as MMORPG player and old gamer and this is my opinion
i even think this game is not full RPG ,, it is just mixed and make u lost some time u think it is 2 style game in one as LOL and WoW but i tell you what Anet sould did at begging :
1- they make it PVP only just login you find every thing ready for u ( gears - lvl ) and u just do match .
do not hate me but i think it is must part that make people love MMORPG is accomplishment .
what is accomplishment in MMORPG ,
is like working to have your pvp gears , jewels and weapons
this game is just a crap ,, some people say ( aw well it is skill game ) i say IT IS NOT SKILL GAME i swear to god i have seen skills more than gw2 in Aion and WoW
let us stop here at skill part and i tell u why people feel it is skill game ( even me at begging iw as think it is skill game ) :
1- the media and light from Anet that telling people GW2 is skills not about gears
2- when u see that your lvl and gears is same to every one wich mean lvl 80 and same gears
3- ability that keep players say it is skills
in other hand let me tell u this , what make it realy skill game after we try the pvp ?
srsly?
the number of skills are few and u just keep press skills tell your foe loss hp and what ? Aion have much better than gw2 when it come to skills ability and kiting your foe
i am not try compared aion or wow to gw2 no gw2 guys
i am just say We were tricked , we expect more from this game cus the media and light make it as the best game ever and it will make the revoltion to the MMORPG games ,
some people still live inside that trick that telling them it is skill game
pls guys try to understand what skill game mean ,, it is a game need you to study your foe and try reflect his movment back in same skill he did - same time ,, not just pressing hearstrik posion ( 1-2-3 )
i Yazeed been playing diffrent mmo games would say it is not that much skill game
when a warrior kills you using a skill with a gun that mean he hit you from far that mean u give him abiltiy to kill a ranger who basde on RNG ! and try to kite you
i will not go deep on calss problems beacuse i think we need a big section to talk about class problems and ability but let me tell you this guys
Anet did take advantage of that they will intrduce a game for fun a game did nott required u to work for your gears and pvp stuff
they say it is skilled base and i say again it is not that much skilled game
other game got skills better than gw2
i know some people will be mad at me , but as i said this is my opinion and i ask you guys and girls
just try understand my points without been a blind fanboy
we are a gammers 2 , and we test this game with enough time
i would say again , i am afriad about what will happen in future for mmorpg game
lets see what Anet write on the website and i will write it now as in meaning ( if you are MMORPG player we advise you to try gw2 and if you are not MMORPG player then we also advise you to try gw2 ) !!
get this from me ,, i did see that happen b4 in other games when they target other players who like fps or any other type of games
i did see Resdient evil become and action game and how far they try did as CoD in the version racoon city on ps3
the president of capcom say the harror games is weak marking ,, and action games as CoD style have huge fans !
my point is , if capcom want action game then just make action game with diffrent new seruis name but i think they want a RE name on the box
any way
gw2 is B2P that make it cool for people
i am 100% sure if this game p2p you will find many people canceling subs
Anet did win at the end ,, they sell many copies
marking + high light what make must people intresting in this game , i did see manyyy players not even MMORPG players buy cd keys just beacuse they see the youtube or what ever and say omg omg so so amazing i love this game
i will say the true even me i did expect much and more from Anet .. 5 years to creat this game and the result was suck
i would give Anet 10/10 on one thing only , is marking by media
peac

Yazeed, Bad troll, 0/10.
- Skill is not equal to gear grind. Gear grind is not equal to accomplishment.
PS: I'm enjoying my game. I have alts and friends who I play with.
Entire video is about PVP. He'd just as well be talking about any run-of-the-mill action game.
Could have just said, "GW2 is more twitch based than stat driven MMOs."
Too much emphasis on PvP. Where's the PvE? I'd rather play League of Legends or FPS if I wanted 'PvP' as it can never be balanced too much in MMOs. This doesn't excite me in GW2.
A MMO should be about the complete package, that doesn't underlook everything else. I loved wvw for a while, but it all turned into a clusterfest pretty quickly. I have a level 50 at rank 15 in pvp and a lvl 30 alt, and I'm already very bored of it.
Perhaps the game isn't for me, but one thing is for sure, I have played it to a level that a lot of others who generalize have not. A MMO should also focus on PvE and the gameplay, and I gave a big thumbs up to Arenanet for leveling scene, but the end-game is too repetitive. Sure, you could say that for WoW, but WoW has focuses on both aspects of PvP and PvE.
Just for the record, I've also played Rift for 6 months and Aion for 3 months when I decided to take a break from WoW. It's safe to say that the game is slowly declining is nowhere near as populated as it is before.
Iryne , idk if you are srs about this video or jking !
realy u call that a skills ?
avoid - dug ?
well bro go see this video again and see how that person keep press 1 must of the time to hit his foe and about avoiding or what he call it
i see a weakness in this part and btw it is not new
other games got better , avoiding + kiting + keep the righ right distance all those thing are founded in other MMORPG games
tera got better combat system than gw2 does ,, and also tera got that avoiding part lol
i did say it in my first post and i would say it again ,, try to understand what skills game realy mean
dudg and avoiding does not make it full skill game ,, when we talk about skills we talk about time to practice to study your foe and become better and better with time even if it takes player months or years
Yazeed, I do not waste any more of my time about replying to you. Btw, your English is fine when you are replying to "Thread: Should I get Guild Wars 2 or Mists of Pandaria?".
---------- Post added 2012-09-24 at 05:10 PM ----------
You are right, I said gear grind when I really meant: Skinner box is not equal to accomplishment (for me... anymore).
I actually wrote about this when we were still pondering what GW2 will bring and what will be different in it.
Sorry for off-topic.

This is pretty much what i got from that too, problem is that the pvp feels "flat" to me and just repetative and with pvp i mean the actual combat, since there is no real goal to work towards on the whole. The actual fights are far from satisfying as they are so slow and in some fights it feels to me like i might as well watch TV while im trying to bash dowa generic defensive geared and specced character#2153 to make a flag change colour.
From my time spent in GW1 I am alright with the way things are going. I also am an alt-a-holic so I have plenty to work on and keep me busy (almost done with second 80)

Online games are like drugs...those who make the most addictive one hits the jackpot. Blizz is the only one that mastered it so far. Some try to do the same, but for example ToR has performance problems, but all other mmos have one big defect: thier interface is not as reponsible as in wow. While I find WoW outdated and won't play it anymore, I still find it's fight mechanic to be easier and more convenient than in GW2.
If ANET will focus too much on the fun factor and get rid of addictive factors, then population will decrease in time until expansion comes.
When u step aside and look at wow etc, u will see that it is really pointless to waste tons of hours to get gear, stats, etc. Because its a damn virtual reallity, computer program made by others, who just put this and this and ppl mindlessly follow them thinking that it's fun. But GW2 doesn't have such traps, it has just fun. Well, mmo's were always about rewards. Even MOBA games are rewarding players with new champions/higher rank/more points to spend on smth etc. U play online game because of the reward and competition system. At least 90% of u.

I have only focused on the main aspects, where I wrote that they all run around panicking "OMG LOOT, FAST, GEAR!"?
Blizz and not only them, has an departament that is gathering all the data they have, all trends + some psychologic guys and they all sit down and decide what will be the best to keep ppl busy, what baits they need, what is appealing, etc. Nowdays MMO's are serious business, not a "lets make this game, its fun, ppl will love it". Nowdays there are investors who only care about money, income, they don't care that some ppl will just die because they played too much. As long as their feats will inspire others to play (like Paragon and other guilds inspire some to raid etc) they are happy.
And u have community managers who talk with u on the forum and PR + marketing + CM and they all made a special code "how, what, when" we tell to the players about changes, games, everything.

Heh. That's why I'm usually an eternity on my character creation screen. So I don't make mistakes. If I do, well that's still my character and it gets incorporated into the RP as a trait she doesn't like about herself.Wow, I've got almost 180 hours in and rerolled about all my toons looking for just the right "look."
My little Mya is now completely exotic. Age: 117hrs in 28 days.
4hrs a day.. heh writing ones thesis gives a little free time I guess.
PS: l just realized you have more playtime than me \o/
Isn't that a good thing? I don't really like WoW anymore, and I'm pretty annoyed with Blizzard, in terms of what they've done to WoW, but I will always give them credit for being good at communicating with the playerbase
Other MMOs I've played only had developer interaction for a few weeks, then they would only really communicate with the players when big updates were coming
Rest In Peace, World of Warcraft. Subscriber count doesn't matter, WoW has been dead in spirit for a while
Rest In Peace, Star Wars the Old Republic. SWTOR is a fun RPG, but a bad MMO
If you aren't playing GW2 for fun then you aren't going to enjoy it. It's about the story, the environment, and the sense of completion and achievement. It's not about keeping you going for years on end, it isn't a sub-based game. I said early on that it plays more like a single-player game in that once you complete what YOU want to do, you are pretty much done. There isn't a ton of large-scale group content that you have to repeat over and over to get the full benefit of the game. That really is all there is to it. Just play it because you enjoy it. If you don't enjoy it, play something else. Have fun!
I hope you haven't forgotten my role in this little story. I'm the leading man. You know what they say about the leading man? He never dies.
If you give in to your impulses in this world, the price is that it changes your personality in the real world. The player and character are one and the same.
I'm kinda torn on it. On one side I feel that the PvP is very well done and have (mostly) a lot of fun doing that. On the other side dungeons feel very badly thought out and are just getting more and more frustrating to me lately.
