Guild Wars 2

I’m mixed. I haven’t decided and probably won’t until more time goes on and I can see the log on rewards etc. . .

I do miss the old system but look forward to the new. Logging on today, I felt like I couldn’t keep playing the way I want. I haven’t been to QD or done Jungle Wurm for ages because I’ve been either in SW, or PvP with my Guard. From those two things I could just play the game how I want to play it and ignore all those other things going on today.

Today, I had to put those things on hold and go hunting for events in QD, or check the timer for the wurm and found out that I missed it twice so far. It’s not that big of a deal because it’s only 3. So I’m not whining, it’s just different than what I’ve been doing for awhile. I felt like I had less of a choice and had to try new things – which isn’t so bad. But there’s little choice and that part is what bugged me the most.

I’ve playing PvP on my Guard. Sure I could play a thief or engi, but I don’t want to so I opted to not do those two achievements. Lately I could get my daily out of the way just after 3 matches of PvP and not have to worry about the class I was playing or how many times I dodged or revived. I could just play and do the daily without really trying to do the daily. That was nice.

Now I have to choose to sacrifice what little time I have to pursue something out of my way or just play the way I want. Seems like the old system fit better by allowing those two things to exist simultaneously.

So, in the end. I’m still mixed. Let’s see more of those dailies come through and then I’ll have a better opinion. However, who here likes this new version and why?
