Guild Wars 2

much enthusiasm, i hope you do not end up like my little pony here

OP, I had that feeling once, but with GW1, and that was the last time.

Welcome OP! My husband and I came from Everquest 2, as well, when this game launched 2 years ago. Have fun, and let me know if you need help with anything. You can message Little Ace or Collametta.

I hope you all don’t mind, but I just have to say that this game has been the best mmo experience I’ve had since the first day I logged into Everquest 2 and WoW. Now, I am not here to promote those games, but out of all the mmos I have played, few have given me that sense of epicness like GW2 does. I am a new player and I am currently playing as a Norn warrior. I am about level 13 right now.

Frankly, and I think we can all agree on this, there are a lot of crap mmos out there. Thankfully, GW2 is not one of them. I just want to say bravo to the devs for putting together such an amazing mmo experience. Most mmos grab me for about an hour before I get tired of playing. This game, with the story arc, I was riveted for several hours as I worked to finish the story quest today.

What a fun game you have here.

Welcome to GW2. There are some people on the forum who are kind of upset with the game right now so your post ruffled some feathers. Just let your own experience form your opinions and I’m sure you’ll continue to have a positive experience.

It’s good to hear new people excited about the land of Tyria! Most of the people actually logged into the game instead of logged into the forums are also enjoying the game.

Welcome to GW2. It’s a good game for many different play styles and player attitudes. If you have twenty minutes to play or twenty hours, you can log in and find something to do.
I’ve been playing it for almost two years and just recently hit 69% map completion. WvW can do that to you. I have not had much time for gaming lately, so sometimes I just log in to whack a boss or open some chests, or play a round of crab toss. Lots of options are available to enjoy.

I have 6 lvl 80s (and a few lower levels) atm and I’m not bored with the game. Of course that there are things that are repetitive and become boring (see Silverwastes for example) but nobody really puts a gun to your head to keep doing them. I have my characters spread out throughout the map, each of them being involved in something, and if I get a tad bored of doing one thing I jump on another one of my characters and do something else.

And last, but not least – GW2 has such a wonderful immersion, everything is so detailed and beautiful, that sometimes, when real life gets stressful and harsh, I just go on a stroll and get on top of a mountain and watch the horizon and the sky. It’s beautiful and peaceful. And of course, the GW2 music is so awesome that I never felt the need to mute it in order to play something else in the background. I have played dozens of MMOs, big names and small names, casual player or alpha/beta tester, and none of them gave me this experience.

So, welcome. I promise you, if immersion is what you are looking for, there is this whole beautiful land of Tyria here that you will never get bored with. May the Six guard you in your journey.

Welcome to the game, OP! I’m glad you are enjoying it so far and hope you continue to.
I’m going to reiterate something I said a long while ago, but it still exceptionally true…

My biggest piece of advice to you?
Don’t take anything said here in the forums /too/ terribly seriously.
Just play the game. Enjoy the scenery. Learn at your own pace. Get out there and explore Tyria.
And most important of all.
Have fun.

I’ll totally second this, love the game, been playing since ???, but still think the potential i there to keep me “entangled” till the next OMG update. This is a really great game for the purchase price. Ignore the rest, seriously, just enjoy it for what it is, it does amazing for immersion, prolly the best there is!
