| wow thats quite alot of text you've got there, i have played like a hundred hours before becomming borred with it, might be because i played alot in the beginning so i reached 80 in a few days. quests and events are to fast over give to little reward and they are all too alike so doing them fells like grinding, and i am really bothered by the fact that i lose my level when i go to lower level areas. its lame to play around as level 10 when im actually level 80, its not like the rewards get much better, so why do low level stuff when you are 80 when it is just as hard doing 80 level quests and the reward is so much better. it is not a difficult game which made it a bit borring for me, the only part that is hard if when u try to solo some events or doing some dungeons. Jumping puzzles are actually quite fun and entirely different from what you would else do. graphic was alright, though nothing compered to BF3 i have never understood why all rpg's are so ugly in comparison with most fps games, but its a bit better than most other rpgs. crafting was borring but its a good thing you can just skip over that part, though it might be a bit more fun when you get to the legendary crafting or the stuff in mystic forge Trading Post is the thing i hate the most i think, i really hate that it crashes all the time and that arena net takes 15% of you sale in a freaking fee, its not like its real money that are being traded, a bad copy idea from blizzard it seems. the best thing in the game is the big boss battles, if they are a little hard at least, like the 80 level dragon in the ice, it was so cool in the beginning, but doing the same dragon a few more times became really boring cause it takes like 20 min to kill it, and it does not have that many different moves to make the battle more entertaining. last thing to extremely dislike is the failed mechanic, if you are at a diffrent level on the Z-axis and you shoot an enemy that enemy becomes invulnerable, that is such a lame fix from anet's side. even worse is the bug or whatever it is, that does so that when you pull an enemy too far from it's startingpoint it will regenerate to full HP of go back to its startingpoint. for a game i'd give it 6,5/10 it have some things to improve. |

| Guild wars 2 is the first MMO I've ever gotten into, so far I have enjoyed it, although it definitely helps that I have a friend who plays, makes it much more exciting. Still need to pump a few more hours into it before I can have a fully realised opinion, but so far it has been really fun, and that is all that a game really has to do. |

| It's good for the most part but it bothers me somewhat that there is only one action bar for all your characters. = / |
| Did I seriously see someone compare an mmorpg's graphics to BF3? |

Oh, my sides. i don't know why the graphic is as it is, i figure its because it is faster to create it when dealing with such huge maps, or its because its easier for the server to handle or simple due to performance stuff. i know no rpg's are anywhere near most fps, but that was only a short point in the post. In which i also pointed out that it was better than most rpg's |

| I enjoy it, but I think it's too easy. You don't get a lot of XP for killing monsters. But virtually all the XP you get comes from completing random local events and instances. You also get half-decent chunks of XP from completing daily tasks like gathering resources and killing enough monsters. Exploring and discovering locations and waypoints are also good. And the game's graphics are sub-par compared to games that use very advanced engines like BF3 because they need to create MASSIVE worlds for LOTS of people to roam around in a the SAME TIME. Servers would start lagging if you had thousands connected at the same time and extremely detailed graphics. Not to mention you'd need a beast of a rig to handle it all in some cases. |

Angel_Beats said: i got bored after about 2 weeks. really nothing special. This. I think it may be though because I've been a huge MMORPG guy for probably a decade now(played tons of different P2P, F2p, etc.) so it's really hard for me to find an MMORPG that really sucks me in for awhile. Anyways though after awhile I just got kind of tired of it. I think what did it is that it tries to set itself a bit more apart then other MMORPGs, which is good, but actually I think it does it to much. I mean GW2 golden point is that it's different from your standard mmorpg. However, it felt so different for me that it took me awhile to get the hang of it. Then when I did it became like a schedule. "Go to this area around this time for this event, then here, here, here, etc." I like that I gain XP from crafting, exploring, events and such but it's missing traditional questing for me. I know it may sound weird but one of the best ways I leveled in a lot of mmorpgs was just accept all the quests and do them all in one go. In GW2 only a handful of quests in the area which don't really give as much as I could get doing 2-3 events in the same amount of time. I kind of wished they still had a lot of quests to throw in my face along with events, crafting and such. Another thing is I wish they had more variety to the events. The first couple of events you're like "awesome!" then I began to realize that if I kept coming at this location, at this hour the same event would pop up over and over so it became like more of a schedule.(Like someone said as well it's a bit to easy, but that's not a major issue.) "Go to this location at this time, do the event, now go here, here, here and of course doing the same events over and over until the next area so that kind of got me down. Love the persistent event system but I kind of wish for more variety instead of me doing the same events over and over til I'm high enough to go to the next area. It just felt like they were just disguising the repetitiveness. I mean it's a good game but it just didn't stick to me. Might be because I'm more critical about more mmorpgs or just not my taste. |

| I like GW2 ~ It's refreshing and very different from your average MMO. It brought questing, exploring and character customizing to whole new levels! Even the world itself and its NPCs upgraded! Overall, the gameplay has been kicked up a notch. From fighting underwater to interacting with townsfolk, this game is more than your average game. (1) What I like about it (and what others might not) is the freedom you get. You don't have to wait for monsters to respawn because you can do other things than kill a specific monster. You're also not obligated to party just to defeat a boss or go through a dungeon to complete a quest. Now in my opinion, these things that are present in other MMOs tie you down. It's as if you're not free to do what you want. BUT! That doesn't mean it doesn't happen in GW2 because it does! If you want to just kill monsters, you can. If you want to form a group and enter dungeons, you can. There's also WvW so if you want to fight alongside your guild and worldmates, you can. My point is: It's you who decides what you're gonna do. And there's a whole lot of things you can choose to do so it's actually not boring for me. (2) I also think that the idea of maintaining a level cap is a clever one. That would mean you would still get experience from low level places even if you're already in a higher level and also, you wouldn't be imba(lanced). So there's still a challenge in fighting a lvl 10 monster even if you're lvl 80 because instead of maintaining your current stats, they actually go down to suit the place you're in. Genius! (3) What I probably like the most about this is that you don't have to grind to gain a level because leveling up is actually pretty easy. I guess the only challenge here is map and achievement completion (Which is still very hard!). Anyway, GW2 is fun and exciting if you're into something new and different. Playing this game is definitely a good experience so I recommend it to beginners and old-timers ~ |
