Guild Wars 2

So . . . I recently returned to another game—that shall remain nameless—and started to play between downtime with Guild Wars 2. Let me tell you . . . it was a huge wakeup call.

Between the huge amount of bugs that stopped quests, with promises to fix it ‘tomorrow’, server crashes, maintenance downtime, rubber banding, and other nonsense, it made me realize how put together Guild Wars 2 is.

Perspective really is something else.

Thank you for maintaining a pretty smooth game. You never know how good things are until you experience all the things that are so very wrong somewhere else.

While it’s nice to see something positive for a change (most happy players are just in the game, enjoying it, after all), Guild Wars 2 isn’t exactly free of long standing issues requiring fixes or connection problems. I stay here because I enjoy the game; but oddly enough, this is the game I see more problem with when I make comparisons.

Still, it’s luck of the draw depending on what you want to do, when you want to do it and where you are. This game isn’t free of issues, but it’s still a pretty good game.

I alt between a few MMO’s but less and less do I play them. Virtually everything in GW2 ticks the MMO itch I want and I don’t feel penalised for playing in old maps and content. Plus no continuous gear and level grind!

There are no less problems in other MMO’s, but most contain less content or repeat playability for me compared to GW2. Long may it last!

Every MMO has problems however…

I’m not waiting in queues to get into the game. I’m not sitting and waiting each week or two with four hour downtimes. My patches go live pretty fast when they come out.

I’m not fighting over kill tags for static quests.

These are issues that Anet addressed years ago, that are still coming out in current games.

For me it’s not about a bugged quest. I’m not going to wait in a queue for two hours just to get into a game. Not after playing this game.

People take the basic stuff here for granted and focus on the minutia. With the exception of WvW, which is getting some fixes hopefully, this game has solved a lot of the problems that other MMOs seem to be okay with.
