Guild Wars 2

These are my thoughts on the Guild Wars Franchise so far and what i think three should kind of look like.

There are aspects of Guild Wars 2 that people like but it lacks any sign of the feel of Guild Wars 1. Guild Wars 1 had Henchman to start then later Hero’s so players could handle most small things themselves but still needed to have players for the big things. Also the game started off ominous in its feel in most of the beginning area’s for characters. This is what helped players to enjoy their game. Additionally players enjoyed the auto attack feature as it made it easier to take down their opponents while planning their next move. Also Guild Wars 1 was and is a skills based game despite the levels leading to 20. In short Guild Wars 1 with a face lift would have been a major improvement over Guild Wars 2.

Guild Wars 2’s features are the character creation, to jump, and to swim. Though flying is a nice touch it isn’t really all the necessary for players enjoyment. In character creation you try to build a story line using very basic ideas which is nice in its own way, however, More options could help the enjoy ability of the game. Jump well let’s face it players have asked for the since Guild Wars 1’s first year out. It’s a nice feature for the players and lets them get to places they would like to go. Swimming is another request players had during Guild Wars 1, and let’s face it if you can run, walk, back up, and jump why not swim? These three things add to the game making it possible for players to feel out their environments a bit better.

So one would wonder what would happen if these aspects were merged? Would it really be a better game? Would gamers truly like it?

I say the game would be better if these were merged with one exception drop out the levels and arrange for a skill point system and then a more in depth attribute system that would better help with health as well as the regular options. As for the players truly liking it, I think they would as it takes parts from each game and improves the overall feel and game play at the same time.

As some negative personal comments Guild Wars 1 felt like a fun and still enjoy able game even today, but Guild Wars 2 has the feel of World of War Craft to me and looses much of what made Guild Wars so unique.

Please post you’re ideas or a review of what you like and don’t about what I have to say.
