Guild Wars 2

Im not a fanboy but I wanted to make a post of my insights into GW2.

Came from WoW, I still play, but had purchased GW2 to play during WoW maint/downtime/done with dailies. waiting for Raiding.

SO, i jumped into this with a very casual attitude. Little did I know the “Crack” i was pumping into my veins. 1st. i was able to jump into the story fast, and get a sense of my main direction at the start. which .. is good. also, found that Combat was AWSOME! compared to WoW, you learn your skills for the diff. weapons u use. which is nice to swap weapons when mobs come in for meele. that makes sense. very nice..

over all. i could spend an hour writing what i like, sure a few things are dull. im not sure how to begin crafting, but i was able to get the 3 items needed to harvest the stuff around the area. which was nice, plus i got a few item drops that i was able to upgrade during my adventure. the combat anamation is really nice, and combat is fast, which is something i had been missing.

Now i find my self, spending extra time, just exploring, the world is much more robust and visual than WoW. imo and engageing also. i like the little side solo PvE stores that kind of make the game Mine. . .

i also was able to get into a guild and group with a few ppl. one was a higher lvl player, but it pulled their lvl down so we could all have fun and him not 1 shot everything. very nice. this is a cool thing in the game, allowing higher lvl ppl to group with lower …

im still trying to get a feel for underwater combat… but i like the wet look on my screen when i come up from the water. lol anyway.. 9 out of 10. imo im hooked and will devote much more time to this game., hopefully the end game is as much fun as my journey.

peace.

End game isn’t what you expect from WoW.
Appart from new instance becoming available, there is no new capped level characters features.
However, getting through the top level zones will consume some time, if you’re aiming at 100% map exploration.
Also, I find crafting very nice with the need to use discovery and not having to learn new recipe at the vendor since these just become available as you level up. Crafting will also take some time.
Completing all explore mode instances isn’t a 1 day task either, especially if you’re aiming at a specific dungeon gear and weapon sets.
There is also new content patches planned for mid November and sometime around December (I guess it’s the christmas event), so there will be plenty more to do.
