Guild Wars 2

I did not play Guild Wars 1. I don’t really know how the name originated.

But when I bought the game, I was thinking it would be centred around GvG. Guild vs Guild.

Currently I think the perfect platform to do this is not in Guild halls where no one really watches and no one really knows or cares or can participate.
It should be in WvW where guilds represent their worlds and bring the fight to other guilds for dominance.

For a game called Guild Wars, I would have thought WvW would be heavily focused for development. But it seems like things are going to the contrary…

The focus seems very much on PvE and PvP…

That’s why you should research stuff before you buy it.

Anyway, the name “Guild Wars” originated from an event called “guild wars” that happened in Tyria (the game’s world) a long, long time ago.

The guild in Guild Wars isn’t the guild that you’re thinking of. This was actually the three nations (Orr, Kryta, Ascalon) which fought against each other prior to the events of GW1.

ay so do you think that it’s the new player’s responsibility to look this up or the game developer? I mean when i first heard of the game i thought of actual guild wars, not some martin-esque power struggle that isn’t even mentioned at all in any point of the game.
Is the title of the game misleading? a bit
does that matter? not really sure.
would the game do a bit better if it had actual guild wars instead of just implying with its name that it does? a bit.

Well, yeah. If I’m thinking about buying a game I at least read the wiki write up on it to see if I want to spend my money or not. If there’s something I’m particularly interested in or don’t like in a game then I’ll check it out beforehand. I’m certainly not going to buy a game without looking.

At the end of the day, it’s on the person on whether or not a game is worth buying or not. Which includes things like what the game actually covers. Granted, this can be a leap of faith at launch, but this far out it is not hard to find information on exactly what this game is and what it is not.

All a game developer can do is try to convince people that it is. All game developers would love if they were the ones who decided if a game was worth buying or not. Because then everyone would buy every game released because the developer will obviously think their game is worth buying.

It’s like the Elder Scrolls series. How much are the actual Elder Scrolls a part of those games? They’re just there for the plot.

Sorry to say this…but waaaaaay to much bs in this thread………….Dont even know where to begin…..Let me start of by defending the thread owner then the writers….

First of all, there is alot of GvG youtube videos, the reviews out there mention pvp/WvW and PvE it does not touch GvG and actually searching upon if it exist is rather hard, unless if you want a 100% search on every lore/gameplay in the game before actually buying it……..

Would it be more fun with GvG? Well based on twitch, it had more viewers than their E-Sports, because this game simply is better gameplay wise, the whole first person shooter gameplay can only be fun for so long in an MMO

Now to the thread owner…..You have had this game for at least a year…..I am guessing way more than a year, the posts shows that the first post you wrote was in April 18th. But on the pictures you have a legendary weapon on your asura so I am guessing way more than that, maybe even from the beginning where GvG was mentioned that it was not in the game or part of it. Either way, I get it if newer people get into the game without knowing GvG, but older players should have a somewhat clear idea of what it is all about xD.

0/10 trolling mate.

Yes, it is absolutely the consumer’s job to educate themselves on the product they’re buying. It’s the developer and publisher’s job to get the consumer to buy the product, not to ensure they’re fully informed about it.

Because once upon a time we used to have Guild v Guild battles.
