Guild Wars 2

…is that it has such great ideas and amazing foundations with the combat mechanics, yet there is so little to do that everyone has quit.

I’ve not logged onto guild wars in over 2 weeks, mainly because the class I chosen, Elementalist, is completely broken unless you spec tank which isn’t fun, and also because there simply wasn’t any pvp content to keep you satisfyied.

I told my guild I was taking a break until the they bring out the first major balance patch and new content, so was eagerly waiting this pvp blog. I have to say I’ve never really been so disappointed by something, so anti-climactic. Nearly 3 weeks and all we’ve learnt from this epic blog is that we’re getting paid tournaments and custom games (something the community have known for many months now). There isn’t even a time frame on these releases and given the time it took to release this blog, I don’t hold out much hope for it soon.

The game NEEDS rating, skill level, rankings, whatever you want to call it, it NEEDS it. This cannot be a hard thing to implement. I could create an algorithm in 10minutes to provide a good rating system.

Ah well, all my friends have returned to wow and so far I have managed to restrain myself from re-subscribing. Its such a shame though cause Guild wars had got so much right, they just lacked a few simple things to really catapult it fowards…

World of Warcraft was the only other mmorpg that I played regularly before Gw2. Maybe it’s ignorance, but I love the pvp in Gw2! Sure there are a few things which could, and possibly should, be addressed, but compared to what else is available, I have no reason to complain. I enjoy being able to log on and just purely play. The game remains so very casual. PvP requires no grinding or farming which appeals to me like you can’t imagine.

I’ve tried to play MoP, but I become irritated within 5 minutes of logging on. It’s the same thing it has been for years. Even once your 90, you still need more honor for better gear, and more gold to sustain your gear.

Simply, to each their own.

Agreed.

I was a gw2 fan boy, now i have only frustration and disappoinment.

PVP should be AWESOME, the game have the base to accomplish that, but because of little things it’s makes you quit instead.

What bothers me is that there are VERY FEW map types and styles of gameplay – for one WHERE THE HECK IS CTF AT?. There should be 10 plus maps from the get go at least. There are some major balancing issues as well which makes gameplay even more limited not to mention the bug that freezes you at the loading screen which a lot of people are experiencing and is not being fixed. It would be nice to be able to joing bgs with your friends and actually be able to play with them not against them as well but I suppose that’s not going to happen. The colored armor is annoying too, what was wrong with just giving us a colored decal or something. People are supposed to be working hard at this so that they can get cooler looking armor and then they turn around and paint it a bad color for you when u join the game. Tier three spiked warrior gear just looks bad red and blue sorry.
