Guild Wars 2

I’ve wanted to say this ever since the game came out, but THANK YOU for not including mana/health potions. This element alone would drive me away from so many games. Had to grind to get money, to buy potions, to do dungeons, to get more money, to repeat. I’ve included a funny Youtube video I found to show you how sick I was of all the potion gurgling in other games, and how much I appreciate the lack of potions here.

Very funny!! I agree, I seriously hate potions. Especially when all the games I’ve played online have them (except gw1 and gw2).

Although I do think there were “Energy Potions” back when skills required energy ( it’s like “mana” for gw players before gw2). But that was WAY before beta tests even came out.

I remember energy potion before the betas. I actually played the game the game at events with them in play. They were really stupid.

Haha, that video is great.

Hilarious video!

I agree with the OP. I hated potions and mana in other games.

I don’t like potions either. It’s such lazy design, and so overdone. Plus I never liked consumables in games anyway.=P

God yes, I was always the healer in previous MMO’s and usually the healer is the class with the most mana issues. I always had to decide to spend twice as much potions (and thus money) to help fighting in dungeons, or to just stand there and heal just to save mana. :C Annoying as freaking hell. Even more annoying when people wouldn’t bring potions themselves expecting the healer to work their arses off and go through stacks of potions just to keep both their HP and MP bar up.

Ive gotten so used to potions in RPG/MMO games now then when I first made an engineer I thought the elixir skill was a consumable.

I quite like it this way.
