Guild Wars 2

Well, in regards to the title, after playing AC, CM and TA explorables (I haven’t done the other 5 yet). It just felt like Dark Souls in a way… in terms of difficulty, yes, combat…..ehh, in a way and the feel, most definitely!

But that’s just in my opinion and what I think.

Feel free to leave feedbacks and all that.

P.S. Not sure if this is the right forum category to post this kind of topic.

Sounds interesting. Can’t wait to get into a dungeon.

I disagree. Dark Souls was fair. There’s too much cheap damage in the game (like getting hit by melee attacks at medium range). At least in Dark Souls when you got hit it was your fault and not just a matter of RNG.

Remind me what’s RNG again?

This game is in NO WAY like Dark Souls at all. Please stop saying that because it is such a poor comparison they are hardly alike. This game has so many bugs in instances.

And RNG is random number generator. Guessing your not from an MMO background as you don’t know what RNG means and you compare this to Dark Souls.

I don’t like saying this but, you’re wrong it’s nothing like Dark souls

Range doesn’t work this way.

You are definitely RIGHT ON topic, as OP said “in terms of combat, difficulty”. So I guess according to your logic GW2 is more like a casino, fair enough.

Oh hai, fancy seeing you here.

Thanks for taking one of the few threads that isn’t hating on the game and turned it into one. If he feels like it does. It does. While I agree that sometimes mechanics are a bit odd and the tactics are just ‘tank n spank’ with huge amounts of damage, I do like the most of them. Like the OP.

If you can’t keep it civil, just take your indecent behavior elsewhere.

As a Demon Souls and Dark Souls player I can tell you that GW2 is way easier.

They all have a rather steep learning curve, but once you get used to them, you realise GW2 is way easier than Souls series.

Why do I say that? Well, after you learn to dodge and use your skills, you are able to get away with most of the things in GW2, but not in Souls. You can skip almost all trash mobs or get hit repeatedly and still get away in GW2. Try running through a bunch of mobs in Souls… you’ll get stun locked even by the most low lvl enemies. Unless you are full heavy armor with lots of poise, in which case you won’t have the speed to run through them. And this is only one aspect.

Healing is another, you can basically heal infinite times in GW2, not in Souls tho. After you burn through your flasks, you need to start using humanity, which has a longer cast time and is not so easy to come by.

And you can take all this into consideration IF they could be compared. But its unlikely. You can’t compare games like Souls, that have a well thought and implemented combat and reward system with a mmo that is more action oriented and is in any and every way more easy.

LE: maybe i’ve misread the OP, in the way that he says this game FEELS like, which is not a direct comparison. But in the same way, you could compare playing Tetris, upside down, with Dark Souls.

If there was a Dark Souls MMO it would demolish GW2 and all other MMOs out there that take pride in their combat system.

Luckily for the other, less… skilled companies, From/Namco will most likely never make an MMO.
