Guild Wars 2

Considering a the post-implemented changes like crosshair, do you guys think that the game will become an action-rpg? I mean that the combat system will be more similar to games such as Skyrim? (As it already has a feeling of it.)

Action role-playing games (abbreviated action RPG, action/RPG, or ARPG) form a loosely defined subgenre of role-playing video games that incorporate elements of action or action-adventure games, emphasizing real-time action where the player has direct control over characters, instead of turn-based or menu-based combat. These games often use combat systems similar to hack and slash or shooter games.

So, we already have direct control over our chars and there isn’t a turn based or menu based combat system. What more do you want?

It already is an ARPG, considering you can play it without tab targeting pretty much.

I sure as hell hope not. I bought this game and not Tera because the combat mechanics here appeal to me whereas I find “action” combat except with simple controls and controller compatibility (think Phantasy Star 2) repulsive. I really don’t like Skyrim it doesn’t have a tight dodging system whereas with a controller Phantasy Star 2 is fun. Big problem with that game though is it’s very grindy and RNG oriented. If you have a rare then you need to spend real life money on grinders and items to hedge against losing weapon progress (the higher the weapon level the greater chance of failing) and real life money on additional talent trees. Force and hunter are fun classes.

I don’t think Guild Wars 2 should move over because we paid for the at release mechanics with the expectation it would stay. If they wanna do something different they should make an entirely new game, if they wanna go the action RPG route just rip inspiration from Phantasy Star 2 (good player housing and scratch system.)

It doesn’t have anything that I would expect if a game advertised itself as an ARPG.

GW 2 is a fashion RPG.

All activities are for the looks like Winter’s Presence Shoulders, legendary weapons foot prints, Guild Hall Restorations, and many many skins.

So fancy like ..

Action camera seems to be what you ask for. Go to option and set your key blind to toggle Action camera on/off.
