Guild Wars 2

Yeah its worth of playing,and dont listen those people that saying how game has no end game,it has endgame same as other games-same as WOW.You do dungeons,PVP,explore,crafting and World Events.Game gets patches every 2 weeks.Im lvl 80 and i have things to do unlike those other that says that there isn’t .

The view on the forums is likely to be skewed towards a “no don’t bother” answer.

My advice to the OP would be to check out some reviews, go check some youtube videos, and take anything said on the forum with a large grain of salt. If you like what you’re reading in reviews and game articles, and like what you’re seeing on youtube (and even twitch, they have their own channel), then try catching a free trial and investing some time into the game that way. They are having like a week long free trial right now, which should net you quite a bit of game play, upon which you can base the final decision of whether it feels like the game is ‘right’ for you.

It’s nothing like GW1 that’s for sure. It has a lot of problems, and things that aren’t appealing to me as a massive GW1 fan. That being said, it still is Anet, and I am still hopeful that they will get their act together and make this game better. So buy it, and if you don’t like it at it’s current state, then you can wait until it does.

At the moment, I’m feeling that it isn’t the right game for me anymore, with how they’ve introduced so much stuff that detracts from their manifesto.

In short, No. I’m stuck with the game as I’ve already paid for it but with the way ANet is botching each and every patch again and again I might even stop regardless.

Keep in mind any reviews will be of the game before ANet decided to pump out crap updates every 2 weeks to spur gem store purchases so will be unreliable.

I would say it is worth a try, this MMO feels very different from all the rest and it takes some time to get used to.

Once you get used to it though it is amazing, and content every 2 weeks (actuall content as in new dungeons and new places to explore that is playtime worth for many days) will keep you busy :P

But yeah, a positive responce from me. The game is good but these forums are full of people who just want to complain.
Complain about easy content and then complain about hard content. Have even seen people complain about too much content.

So yeah.

Few days ago I’ve seen topics such as “Why only new TA path in next patch?”
So, yeah.
People just love to complain, nothing new here. Been for centuries like that.

There have been articles and reviews and interviews since then.

Just because you do not like the living story updates, does not mean that everyone is of the same opinion.

In gw2 you stay in place and watch the auto attack animation while drinking coffe.

SOOO ACTIVE.

Go into a dungeon with that kind of playstyle and you will be destroyed.

No, not really. That’s exactly what I do in every area of GW2. Except I’m spamming 3 on about every one of my weapon sets (thief). Totally active gameplay, lol.

There is nothing amazing about GW2 combat because the skill system is garbage, it has a ton of potential but they haven’t done anything with it.

Now if thief had GW1 assassin combo’s it would be a ton more active instead of spamming 1 button forever. Would be nice not to be confined into what skills ANet deems us allowed to use also. I have a useless button on every weapon set that I can’t change out.

Someone really compared WoW to GW2 rotation… ?? Clearly you haven’t played WoW because the effort to get your DPS going is about a billion times more than GW2, it’s not especially difficult but in comparison this game has no rotations just spam whatever.

And on topic.. if you’re a GW1 fan I would suggest not disappointing yourself, it’s pretty much the exact opposite of GW2 and ANet have ignored every concern the vets had with this game and added a ton of grind, vertical progression, and add to that it is still missing the most basic of features that GW1 or any other MMO had/has.

If you like blinding particle effects and being a legendary garbage collector go for it.

This game does have skill rotations, claiming that it doesn’t just shows that you’re bad at the game.

Please, show us a video of you spamming one button against Lupicus.

GW2 is a mediocre MMO with pretty character models.

Maybe, just maybe, there is a reason why the boards are leaning in that direction.

MY Opinion:

Don’t bother, It’s nothing like the good old GW1. There’s no end game and I have a feeling that it’s turning into a grind fest even more everyday. Like you I was very excited in the beginning, now I barely play actively for more than 2 hours.

In the end GW2 for me isn’t any better than all those F2P games I’ve played and quit always for the same reasons – grind, monotonous gameplay, greedy developer.

As already been said, don’t trust the reviews they’ve been written before the game was like this, best of all, reviews are based on the opinion and view of the reviewer. If there’s a huge negativity here on the forums, that in itself says something.

If I had to review the game 10 months ago I’d have told you buy it now. But now I’m just telling you to avoid it.

Trying the free trial might give you a good impression of the game but keep in mind how would the game be in the long run and if it’s gonna be worth it in the end.

Run away! run away like it’s the plague! It was too late for me but at least I can save someone else!

I think you’ll find that the forums of every AAA MMO is slanted towards negativity. Humans as a whole like to complain more than compliment and people certainly dont go out of their way to post compliments on forums.

For me personally there isn’t much to play. So no, not worth it.

If you like GW1 is defeinitely not Worth it.
If you lik old school mmorpgs like lineage, wow etc this game is for you.

A slight correction

If you like GW1 is defeinitely not Worth it.
If you lik old school mmorpgs zerg and grind mmorpgs like lineage, wow etc this game is for you.

My advice gw2 are desperately in need of new players because their player base are dropping like flies.That’s why they are giving out free trials now and dolling out more cash shop only items.

Its because the majority of the people who like it are playing it so yes i agree there is a reason .

Yah, same exact line that was repeated while AAA MMOs couldnt keep enough players to sustain P2P model, went F2P and layed off half of their staff.

Same line that was said when WoW lost 5 million players.

Carry on.

Depends on which MMO. You actually make more money in a F2P model than a P2P, but initially going P2P is a good way to take back some of the money you invested to make the game from the initial rush of new players, so a lot of MMOs start with a P2P them go F2P.

You need less people to keep developing content for a game than to make a game, so of course you get a lot of layoffs.

Yes, im sure all those planned on losing 80-90% of their players, going F2P and laying off half of their core staff. oh wait…no they didnt.

Blizzard said WoW will evetually go F2P. Do you know when? WHEN THEY LOSE ENOUGH PLAYERS SO ITS ACTUALLY MORE MONEY.

One thing i assure you: all thos games would still be P2P if they could keep ENOUGH players, but they couldnt.

And posts like Adines surely didnt help all those games keep players. Players that bought a box and WERE WILLING to pay sub.
