Guild Wars 2

I guess I’m just new to dungeons but this one was really nice, and you can actually feel the difficulty go up.

Also, very beautiful.

Good work Anet boffins. Impressive stuff.

I still don’t want to grind it a million times though.

It’s great but no dungeon or raid is worth doing multiple times a day for several months.

isn’t it just a bunch of mini-dungeons form the pve areas mahsed together?

They require a tight group to complete, my guildies and I area headed into difficulty 2 just now. The Mechanics are quite good.

Yep i agree that its good.. But its still a god kitten gear grind. >.<

To much to gather to get the items.

that’s fine. but it didnt answer my question.

The tokens increases as you lvl up

I like the gameplay. Still, Anet seems to proceed to push players in a direction of how they want them to play the game.

If you play a round with warrior and then decide you feel more like going on with your mesmer – you’re screwed, cause the mesmer hasn’t unlocked difficulty 2.

That’s right, it’s not account relative, so either your guildies have to bite the bullet and play level 1 again, or you have to bite the bullet and not play your mesmer in the fractals.
But if you want ascended gear to stay up to par you’re kind of forced to progress in difficulty, therefore forced to play the same class all the time.

Motivation-wise, it’s a lose-lose situation for me in an otherwise great gameplay concept.

Agree with how good the fractals are. Some of the bosses need you to use the enviroment to beat them, there’s some fun (but easy when you take a step back to look) puzzles, and the enemies, so far, do not have 20 billion hp. The visuals are also very nice, some great design work.

I got dc’d on the third fractal though, and there was literally no way to get back to my party. They couldn’t 4 man it, and so that was that. Bit dissapointed by that.

" The Mechanics are quite good."

Except for the broken swamp path. God. you need skype for it >.<

And yes, it’s pretty good except for the obvious gear grind BS.

If you dont want to gear grind, you can still pve and wvw right? I’m lvl 43 with average gear, I can go wvw and take a camp, join a bigger group and make a difference, and have fun with others having better gear than me, that wont change right?

Right. They are trying their best to please many people, they can consider me pleased.

But that is the point to keep you occupied and running till you cant take it anymore -then do it again.
Switch to alt and do it again and again.
There is now something to do endlessly.
