One of the hurdles for some new players is the cost of the game. I think free weekends are a good idea. It’ll mean they can try Guild Wars 2 first. Hopefully the servers will survive the extra load.

Ugh, cannot convince my best friend to come here.

“Trying to not get addicted to any new games, I’ll enjoy guild wars vicariously through you” lol

My hubby wont try it this weekend after he saw my frustration and disappointment with the game tonight. I did 3 jp:s that didnt count towards monthly. I only need 3. They were discoveries. They were pitas to do.
We both laughed when I asked if he wants a free trial.

Lol…

Lol don’t get them started :P

At one point I offered to buy the game for friends and family, that way I didn’t have to play alone, but it didn’t work. Other gaming communities already look at this game as being a fail(mainly in pvp).

That is because they are defending the game they love. You can see the reverse effect here, how many threads say that GW2 ruined other MMO’s and is so much better in every way? Try and ask those people to play WoW or some other MMO aside from the upcoming AAA ones. And peoples expressions of “fail” are opinions only, not statements of fact.

Pretty poor timing. Wonder how many trial baby Norn and Charr will get wtfpwned by periscopes and molten spawns and decide this isn’t really fun.

If you buy a game for 1 sole purpose that you seen then possibly. It was mentioned that it was a goal to achieve this, not that everything would be added. Even in the beta registration of every game it says “features are subject to change or not be available at any time”. taking that into consideration people should have seen the warning and enjoyed the game for the many other things it does right. To base an MMORPG off one aspect is just silly. I understand some players will just PVP, PVE, WVW, or whatnot, but your seeing a small scope of the game and making it sound like the game is terrible because of it.

Er, what? You seem to be conflating my posts with someone else’s.

Still, PvP could have been released in a much stronger state than it was.

But that doesn’t mean the game is garbage because it doesn’t have what you want right now. Every patch we see things added that people on forums mentioned and stuck up for. They haven’t given up, they are simply working on many things. 8 months in and everyone expects the game to be the last MMO ever, it won’t happen. In TESO and maybe FFXIV people will find things they wish were in GW2 and vice versa. It just takes time for change. And if you want something that wasn’t stated, stick by a suggestion and get people behind you. Instead of rail on the game and its creators because they don’t meet your speed requirements.

I didn’t say it was garbage.

If I didn’t still hold out hope the developers will change PvP for the better, I wouldn’t be here. For example, I left Diablo III and haven’t looked back; I don’t even check for updates. That is a game that was garbage and that I gave up on.

I gave up on Aion because it turned into a cash game. You really spend more time on the cash store than in game.. It’s kind of sad. Not everything was directed at you ^^, but just saying in general. Forums are a very dark seeded place for people who complain just to complain… Again not pointing, just in general :P

Several postings that were off topic or otherwise against the rules of the forum have been removed. Please keep these rules in mind when posting.

Wow, threads went all over the place my bad lol. I’m hoping to get friends to play this weekend. I posted all over twitter and FB lol. Hopefully the ones that maybe join come to my guilds and others. And beyond that hopefully they buy the game and come back.
