Guild Wars 2

With all the topics dedicated to how “bad” everything is, I think the devs need to see that some of us out there are enjoying the game in its current state.

What you guys have here is an excellent combat system, one of the best I have ever seen in a mmo. My friends and I enjoy the simple act of smashing people’s avatars into dust, and with this game, we get it in spades. Heck, we even smash each other sometimes.

Sure, there are bugs, but can you show me a game that launched with no bugs?

So everyone, post a simple, “thank you,” so the devs can see those of us who will continue to support, and more importantly, continue to enjoy Guild Wars 2.

Thank you.

Love the combat system, though I do feel a little pigeon holed as a Guardian into playing a defensive build or nothing. There are a few changes I can make, but basically the only thing seen as effective or wanted by a team is a defensive build that just sits on a point and calls for help.
+ The Guardian has to go in close to land damage, Scepter misses anything moving.

There’s a lot of potential and I would like to see all Professions become more effective with different builds, too much of a meta for a bunker right now.

Polish, polish, polish. That’s what the next months are going to bring us. We, as a community, need to show ArenaNet a little patience. If they could wave their magic wand and make all the changes needed, it would have been done already.

Patience, young grasshoppers.

Just started playing a couple days ago and I have to say I’m enjoying it.
Made 2 classes so far, went straight to pvp with them and got hooked.
I’m absolutely terrible but that kind of excites me, makes me think there’s a skill ceiling worth reaching unlike
other mmo’s pvp where the meta is kite, damage rotation,kite,
I feel like ranged vs. melee is a matter of preference.
And the players I’ve run into, that aren’t silent, have been very helpful.
I can see myself playing this for quite a while.

The fact of the matter is, none of the professions full have access to their builds. Some are simply just so broken (by bugs or what have you) that everyone is forced to play whatever build(s) work for their profession.

This doesn’t mean that you will only play a bunker guardian, or a D/D elementalist, forever. As time goes on, the professions will get some love, and we’ll start to see the Traitcrafting kicked into high gear.

this game combat/mechanics/graphics are awesome.

but dead paid tournaments(requiring 8 teams/needing 5 tickets and 5vs5 ctp is all fail imo), no dueling, no arena/deathmatch, no ladder/rankings is fail and unfortunately everyone has and is continuing to quit.

Good for you
I wish you, with all my heart, that you won’t ever undestand what makes sPvP as flawed as it is and can continue having fun!

I couldn’t agree more. And personally, I’ve been able to run a lot more variety of builds and still be successful than I have in any other MMO by a long shot.

The problem is that just being able to kill another player 1v1 or surviving against several attackers is all the average player considers “viable”, even when you can win a match without even trying to kill any players, which is why the classes that finish off players the easiest get all the hate.

Like it or not, the game in it’s current state is about map control, so until the deathmatch style mentality dies out, there will always be a lot of hate for the game. Nearly every single complaint can be traced back to this mentality.

A lack of patience and maturity in general with the gaming community these days doesn’t help, either.

Just out of curiosity, what glory rank are you? That question isn’t meant to be derogatory, it’s to point out something: I felt the exact same way when I started playing SPvP. I still find the combat to be the most fun and fluid in any MMO I’ve played. The problem I, and many others have, is stagnation. There is only so long that you can play 1 game mode against the same people(this game is cross-server but I still run into mostly the same people due to the small player-pool in SPvP).

Once this game has all of the additions in the game, it will be a masterpiece. Currently, IMO, it’s the best foundation of any MMO with a lot to be desired. Either way, good post. I’m glad you enjoy it. Now, go tell all your friends to come enjoy it too so I have more people to battle

I just hit Rank 27, pushing hard for 30.

In nearly every game that involves killing other players, unless it is a competitive situation, i almost always gain the most enjoyment from killing other players.. A good 1v1 is always a welcome diversion, as is a chaotic throng of players beating each other over the graveyard.

In hotjoin, who cares if you win? (unless they change that) As long as you have fun playing.

Well, that’s a big problem, too, in that people take hotjoin way too seriously, when it’s obviously just a jump in kill a little jump out medium to play.

And I like killing players as well, but I enjoy winning more.

To each his own

Currently 29, hoping to hit 30 today. Played 615 games as Guardian, 450ish as Engineer, 25 as a Warrior, 30 as a Thief. Mostly I just don’t like “caster” style classes.
