I appear on these forums often as the guy who criticizes the game. That’s true, but it’s not the case of hating the game. That’s the case of loving the potential in it, and being disappointed it’s not even remotely realized.
I still manage to have some fun playing GW2 (it doesn’t grasp me as it should though) and I really, honestly believe ANet will listen to all the suggestions we give them to improve on GW2 in the near future. That’s why I am still splitting harpy heads with my warrior.
I felt the need to mention one aspect I absolutely love about GW2, as a “compensation” for all the flaws I pointed out recently. It’s the amount of detail ANet put into caves, houses and forts.
Caves have all that scaffolding, tents, drilling machines etc. Houses feel like houses, not just some boxes with roofs on top. And the forts… Oh man, the forts. They FEEL huge, they FEEL like buildings which are meant to keep you safe and the enemies outside. I love the fact that they have so many ways in and out, ramps, trenches, secret exits… They truly feel epic.
No game does this better, and for that I congratulate the team responsible.
