Guild Wars 2

I don’t have my copy installed, so I wanted to ask if any of you are aware of the amount of people playing PvP in GW1 because I am considering re-downloading and playing GW1 Arena!

Just don’t want to download it for hours to find out the arena is empty.

thanks

Yup. Went back to playing GW1 and surfing these forums on occasion. Random Arenas is pretty much how it’s always been. That and HA is really the only reason I logged into GW1. That was what “GW” was to me. It’s still a populated game.

What this game is.. I don’t know but don’t like it. It’s missing TDM in sPvP so until then I’ve stopped playing.

Other than that, I’m waiting for DarkFall 2 on Nov 20th. The new content coming out for GW2 doesn’t interest me in the least… for sPvP they’ve introduced a new……. conquest map. /sigh.

Good luck with that Darkfall 2 release on Nov 20th. It got pushed back to Dec 12. If you want a dev team that has abused its playerbase more than any other game in existence, enjoy.

Well unless you have any other suggestions for a good game with PVP?
Where the main objective is to kill the other team.

Then I suppose I’ll see you in GW 1 soon enough!

I think what GW2 is missing is the RPG element. Getting rid of monks hurts the role play of warrior class who used to have to play both DPS and body guard. It was satisfying to protect your monk. Now there is no one to protect or rally around. Everyone glides around on their Mario Karts shooting turtles shells at each other and disappearing all over the place.

You won’t see potent spammable abilities such as reversal of fortune or vengeful weapon or protection spirit because there is no mana to balance them out. Because there is no mana limititation there cannot be powerful spammable abilities that the player has to decide when to use and when not to use. In GW2 u just basically use cooldowns whenever possible. No mana pool to manage or give a flip about.

Anyways gotta start downloading GW1 some time

It will flop all the same as darkfall 1 did;p

They tried to make original Ultima Online like game in 3d but failed;p

Its dead but there is always some players not enough to actually make teams tough if more people played it i would also. Pvp there is far better in my opinion but at this point you cant play pvp not enough players.

I’m planning to go back GW1 too.
GW2 sucks… a lot… worst game mechanics ever.
Is just looking good, but is a step back than GW1.

If you guys are planning to come back to GvG in GW1 then there hasn’t been a better time that now, There is a new League starting with some good prizes that has sponsorship for season 2. I will post below some info on it and you guys can take a look it it is being ran by players for the players the main admin of it are people from the top end of the scene for the past 4-5 years.

The Guild Wars League is a league that is going to be ran over a 2 month period starting on the 19th November 2012.
Matches will be played within 4 day period at where the teams will agree on a time to play, Teams will play 2 games during this time, One on the Home guilds map and One on the away guilds map.

Each guild will have a hall that is nominated as its “Home Map” which is where they will play their fixtures and will also have a member who is nominated as the team Captain and will be the main source for contact for their team.

Each team will play each other once during the season.

The point system that will be used is as follows:

- 3 Points for a WIN
- 2 Points for a DRAW
- 1 Point for a LOSE
- 0 Points for a NO SHOW

The HOME team will be the team on the left side of the fixture and will be required to provide a minimum of 2 times on 2 separate days ( For Example Thursday @ 7pm and Friday @ 8pm).

Prizes are not set in place at this moment in time and the likelihood of there being any real life prizes being provided for season 1 is minimal but we will definitely look into it. Saying this We have already spoke to a hardware company who have informed us that if season 1 is a good successful season in terms of activity in the league and interest in the league then they will be willing to provide hardware as prizes as of season 2. Most likely we will have zaishen keys and other things as a prizes for season 1 any donations to this cause are of course welcomed.

Any information that is not provided in this thread that you would like to know can most likely be found on The GWL Forums.

Very much agree! And GW1 pve is still alive I hear but pvp is probably dead as its been the last couple years. Maybe we could rally a bunch of people and get some GvG going.. that would be fun. I plan on logging in tonight to see how things are

I think the players this Ascended gear treadmill and associated change in game ethos hits GW1 players more than players that came straight to GW2 after all we were told for the years of development of GW2 it would be a different format of MMO (closer to GW1 than WoW). SPVP and WvW just hasn’t delivered either really. And it’s these players ANet is likely to lose so perhaps we’ll all go back to GW1 ….
