I watched Sodapoppin play this game and it looked really cool, then I went to check it out and there was that 75% sale going on so I couldn’t pass on it.
So far, I’m really liking GW2 a lot. Probably more than World of Warcraft (WoW) which is insane! I’m a WoW Vet, and so I had a few questions I wish some could answer for me:
#1: I’m still skeptical of the “one-payment and play forever” thing. Is this really true? I’ll never have to pay again to log in? Because if so, I’m guild master of about 600 people in WoW and I swear if I tell those 600 people to come play GW2 they will as well as 1/2 my server that would follow me.
#2: I’ve always been a PvP Hero – What’s OP in PvP? And more or less, I like thief/guardian right now i have both near same level: Is either thief or guardian good in pvp?
#3: I feel so noob walking in Divinity’s Reach at level 15ish and all these level 80s have such cool looking armors etc (probably transmogrified etc.) —> I notice there’s some gems you can buy with real money, BUT --> in the long run, can you save up gold and buy gems with gold (so you don’t have to pay IRL) and get some transmogrification charges/etc (still not very familiar on how this gems/gold system works, but basically, can you do everything in this game with gold if you save up and would it take a lot of effort)?
#4: (This isn’t a question) I don’t know if it’s the server that I got into, but I haven’t run anywhere close to 8 year olds spamming servers/“map” chat. That’s a good thing!
#5: (Money questions): What professions are good for money-making etc? Can you make money off from PvP? What would you consider in-game to be poor/medium/rich? (For example, in WoW I’ve had like 250,000 gold which is considered wealthy, but some people with 800,000g++ are legit rich). Here in GW2, I went to the AH and the most expensive thing I saw was about 4,000g, thus, what are player’s gold savings range like?
#6: Though I normally get high achieves etc., and do lead a large group of people, I’ve always been a casual player – I do my own things, and simply support my fellow guildies etc. in other ways. Would I still be able to get in a little competitiveness (specially in PvP) simply by playing casual? As well as be wealthy simply by playing casual (2 – 4 hrs/per day, every other day is usually what I’d do).
#7: 1v1 is always a big thing for me… If you’ve ever heard the “1v1 me bruh” that’s how I settle sometimes lol. Is guardian/thief good 1v1, and what are some best 1v1 professions/what counters who?? —>>> Or can any profession beat any profession assuming they’re equally skilled (so it’s totally based of skill)?? Can you also 1v2 if you have better strategic skill than the other 2 guys you’re fighting? Or is there one profession that’s “OP” above the others per say. If you find this question odd, is because in WoW you can roll a Death Knight and 1v40.
#8: I’m really loving gw2 a lot right now! @Devs put out some more advertising! If I hadn’t watched Soda play gw2 on twitch, I would’ve never ever come to know of gw2. Like I’m glad I watched his stream specially on the date when the 75% off sale was going on lol (success!!)
edit:
RIGHT, of course I would forget to ask about guilds…. lol…..
#9: (GUILDS!) Is there a population cap for guilds? Such as you can’t have more than 800 people in guild for example? Guild bank —? any fellow guild masters with solid guilds out there? how do you run your bank, tips What are ranking systems like and what bonuses do guilds offer? What determines a casual guild, a solid guild, a competitive guild, and a popular guild in your opinion? Is there any special guild feature I should be aware of? What do guild masters and their members like to do casually in gw2? How do you interact with your guild and how do you like your current guild and why?
Thanks for everyone’s help! Any tips for new player welcomed too (not THAT noob though. Well maybe we’ll see)
