Don’t get me wrong, i love guildwars, but 2 compared to 1, feels empty… besides the story which was disappointing to me, i feel like the game doesn’t have much of a progression beyond dungeons. Guild wars 1 i always felt like i had things to do and such. One big thing is there isn’t as many secret unlocks and things that came off as mysteries. The underworld in 1 was kinda exciting and you could get a black widow from it. Or the hall of monuments where i could display my achievements and see what was missing. I had group missions to do, where i needed a party to get through some very tough missions and they gave me reasons to do them such as having my armor infused. I could also go grab parties to take out tough bosses and gather elite skills from them. It always seemed like there was something i could do. While in 2 there is much to do, it just isn’t near what 1 offered. I understand 1 was out a lot longer, but some of this was released when the game launched.
I feel like in 2 after i complete my story and grind dungeon armor sets, there isn’t much to do. The legionaries are cool but i am not doing back flips over them since they are just cosmetic. Spvp, i greatly enjoy but it doesn’t feel like its for anything. In 1 you tried to group up and make it through to the end with your team. 2 i think it would be fun to have a server vs server set up like WvW but a score board for servers competing for control. The one big thing that bugs me is WvW. While its very fun, i think its still very unbalanced and needs to be set up how Spvp is that way we don’t have 2 shotting thieves or a warrior hitting 18k with kill shot.
The main thing i do not like, which i understand will probably not go away, is the armor set up in the game. I feel like if everything was toned down and the difference between power and condition builds was much more narrow, it would greatly increase the game play for all.
Once again, i am not trying to complain or cry or anything, i just wanted to put in my opinion in hopes we may get some constructive discussion from this or others input.
Thanks all.
