Guild Wars 2

Verdant brink is an awful map in my opinion. That, and the initial grind just to get the story going gives a horrible first impression. You’re basically just dropped off in a confusing map filled with events nobody wants to do.

My opinion of the expansion has improved dramatically since entering the auric basin. its prettier, its easier to navigate, the events aren’t nearly as boring.

I still think there are problems, but I’m enjoying myself much more now at least.

Yeah the first map is just awful. Must say, so far not impressed, not to mention the gating of the story behind masteries. I don’t mind that they are, but it’s just as bad as when GW2 launched. Sense of urgency gone while we run around an empty map, then trying to figure out what you are supposed to do at there “challenge” missions.

So far, not impressed. I’ve loved every Guild Wars game instantly, ok Factions didn’t really do it for me at first, but it grew to be one of my favourites.
