1) Is the population decent? I’ve heard way too many mixed things on different forums and games
2) How is PvP? I keep hearing something called “sPvP” is dead and I’m all about the PvP in games, especially loved GW1!
3) I’ve heard a stupid amount of bad and good reviews for this game, can any actual players give their quick opinion about it?
4) And lastly, endgame, mind-numbing or okay?
1 = You will hear “Areas are full” to “Dead” – Saddle up and decide for yourself!
2 = Never Tried it – I only do Pvp when crosshairs are involved.
3 = It’s not GW1, it kept me interested for hundreds of hours though. By comparison GW1 kept me interested for several thousand.
4 = Mind Numbing – Imho – brings me back to not being GW1. Dungeons were fun back then (in GW1). Now, I wouldn’t even touch them with ‘your’ barge pole.
1. Depends on your server, of course, but most are full/high population limits. Zone-wise, the early zones are usually fuller than mid, and the last zones are pretty populated again. Just depends where you are, but I’d suggest finding a guild you like, so you can at least talk with others there.
2. I’m not into pvp, but from what I’ve heard, it’s dying, because of only one type of pvp right now. They’re working on more play types, though, and wvw is always going strong.
3. TBh, that’s something to decide for yourself. It also depends what you want to know about. Story wise, it’s pretty unanimous that the beginning is pretty good, but around level 30 ish it gets somewhat bad, and declines from there. But I thought it was alright.
4. Endgame, can be surprisingly fun. It’s a lot of grind (only real endgame is ascended items or legendaries, and money is really what makes these possible), but if you just do a variety of stuff, you won’t get bored
wvw is a blend of pvp and pve. Pvp because you play against others, there are rankings, all that good stuff. But it has pve elements like npc mobs, gatherings, it has the option to not face other players. Of course, people will still kill others that are minding their own business, for whatever reason
