Guild Wars 2

This isn’t the game I bought.

I could catalog everything I’ve noticed so far, but y’all probably know all of it anyway. I was particularly annoyed when I made a new toon to check out the changes and made a ranger.

No pet controls. Pet does whatever the kitten it wants. Runs off, attacks what it wants, and I can’t call it back. This is ENTIRELY unacceptable. Every other game I’ve played (since 1999, starting with original EQ) has allowed me full control over combat pets right from the start (with the exception of enchanter pets in EQ — NOT the main pet class that was mages who did have pet controls — but even that was mitigated later on with advanced achievements because the players hated it so much).

Whatever class you make, you spam 1 in the opening instance. yawn (Because, you know, having more than one weapon skill is so confusing.) Then you get to spam TWO whole skills for another couple of levels. But what really got to me was when I looked at the wiki and saw you don’t get F1 until lvl 5 (just how does that work with elementalists?) and you don’t get F4 until lvl 24.

For rangers, F4 is pet swap. For elementalists, that’s earth attunement. Level. 24.

I bought this game only a few days ago. My mesmer is lvl 21. I have zero inclination to make any more new characters, with the tortuously slow unlocks and the popups that I can’t turn off.

Sorry — actually no, I’m not sorry. I’m going to go get a refund. This isn’t the game I bought, and I don’t like it at all.

Before this feature pack, I was 200% sure no other MMO could take me away from this game. But now? The weapon skill unlocks have turned it into another grindy generic WoW-clone, and ArcheAge is looking a lot more appealing now than before the feature pack.

I left after the old man showed up in SWG so I never even got to play JTL in Star Wars Galaxies. I am glad I got all the classes to level cap. The new stuff(from what I am hearing from guildies who like to level new toons) is deplorable at best. It’s been a whine fest in my guild.

For me it’s been 50/50. The stuff in there I love, I really love. The stuff in there that I feel was handled poorly just makes me scratch my head.

I played SWG waay back in 2003, Unlocked Jedi….went through the CU, the NGE….this is nothing like that debacle xD

Well Anet you successfully ran off one of the individuals you were Aiming to Keep…. Good Job!

terribad patch released same day as Destiny….
coincidence????

NO. Stop using NGE for every little thing.. this is NOT SWG NGE level change.
