Guild Wars 2

If you went back in time and told your past self prior to Guild Wars 2 launching what it would become present day?

Why? Why not?

Yes, I’m a very truthful person. No reason not to believe in myself

I would have stared at myself blankly, and then asked for some kittening useful information- lottery numbers. Then I would have cussed myself out for being so forgetful. I can’t tell you what I’d do after that.

If this is another one of those ‘I hate GW2 threads’ we have several on this page.

I sort of figured it would go this way. I didn’t necessarily want it to, but I half-expected it to. I’m not sure why more people didn’t see some of this stuff coming. And you know, I don’t like all of it…but I’m not sure that matters that much.

I’d believe myself I guess. Though I’d probably yell at my past self about stuff completely unrelated to gw2.

I would not have told myself anything surprising that I didn’t already know except the exact details of how it would actually play out.

All MMO’s at release have a honeymoon period. I figured, given past experience, that about the 1-year mark would be the time when the game would gel or not, or take a different direction. I was both excited and skeptical before release, knowing this time would come. It always does.

Question about “would I believe myself” doesn’t really matter.

Question about “can I recommit to the game” (as it is now) does.

I would have played it from launch.

Why? Because I’ve always disliked fantasy games, but this one has proved to be the exception to the rule.

I would probably have been too busy asking myself, “you spent how much effort and energy developing and using a time machine….to warn me/us about a video game ?”

Oh, and what the guy above me a few posts said about lottery numbers too.

I think the pre-launch devs would be the most surprised at what GW2 has become.

If i could talk to my past self about stuff that would happen in the future, GW2 wouldn’t even come up.

Perspective :p

If I went back in time, my priorities would be:

1) Stabbing my past self to death.
2) Lottery.
3) Leap in research.

If my future self came back and started talking about GW2, I would stab him to death, then rob his corpse of the flash drive with all the lottery numbers and research papers.

If you were to stab yourself, past or future, you would create a time paradox. Stabbing your past self would mean you never went back in time to begin with. Stabbing your future self means that at some point you would be forced to go back in time and die at your own hands.

So yeah.
