Guild Wars 2

TSW is very much a more involving game. Whilst the missions can be paused, a full main mission can take upwards of an hour. It isn’t as casual as GW2 by far. It also has a much darker atmosphere… there are few smiles or happy characters in TSW for sure.

Now I am getting back into GW2 a little, I use them both for their own merits. GW2 for a casual jolly, TSW if I want to play something serious.

Overall though, with the changes to GW2, TSW is the better game and I couldn’t really vote for GW2 in this arena in good faith. GW2 has the fun, TSW has better storyline and delivery, so much so that I feel GW2 vs TSW in that regard is like a one-armed man in a boxing match.

Let me know how you feel in two years. It’s always easiest in the honeymoon period.

Both games are the same age, give or take a couple of months, unless I misread what you meant

TSW = July 3rd, 2012
GW2 = August 28th 2012

Looking back through the thread, I see that Guzzi is still relatively new to TSW. That’s undoubtedly what Vayne meant by honeymoon period.

Yeah not much in it as I said. Makes for a good stand off against each other as well considering they are the same age

Sure but a guy playing it for a couple of weeks won’t have seen the flaws (and there were plenty). Not to say it isn’t a good game, because I still play it occasionally.

But as when someone posts how good Guild Wars 2 is when they just start, and people come on the forums to tell them just wait till you’ve played a while, the same is true of other games as well.

Guzzi is definitely in the honeymoon period.

I’ll go vote for a game that deserves it.

Ah my bad, I missed his earlier post about being a new starter to the game, hence my confusion

TSW is definitely a slower levelling process, and there are things I prefer about each system. Weapon skill levelling for instance… if you think NPE is a grind…

I have to admit though that whilst I have had up to 14 characters in GW2… I can only see myself having 1 in TSW. Partly because GW2 has taught me that alts are a liability, partly because TSW means doing the same attack combos over and over and over again.

My major problem with TSW was its alt-unfriendliness. I was hoping for more distinction between factions, in terms of faction-specific missions, but it wasn’t there.

Alts are my end game.

Unfortunately, anet seems bent on making GW2 more alt-unfriendly, as well. /e sad

GW2 is alt unfriendly too. Just because they are quick to level doesn’t mean that they are not a time and cost liability. I just deleted 6 80s and may delete 5 more because of this.

I would love to vote for Guildwars.
But unfortunately they will have to wait for next December for some solid voting.
Just like we shall have to wait for some solid content.

I can’t really talk about whether or not I will vote for GW2. I am working hard…on many things right now, and while I would love to tell you that I will vote for GW2, I can’t violate the NDA. Suffice it to say that what I will be doing will be fantastic and I hope Anet sticks around to see the exciting things that I have in store.
