Guild Wars 2

sounds from the forums like gw2 is finally getting to a place of done ish. as in fixed ish.

still the same boring game type and strategy, but interesting tactics and people have moved onto informal arena, where tactics are all that count anyways.

as an arena game, why not just play like, smite? no dodging and less individual customization but more team customization, and the combats a lot easier to follow / more fun.

So basically a GW1. Clear backline, midline, frontline/initiators. Health and cast bars. More profound interrupts. More defined support (healing) and control characters, ally targeting. More primary objectives than just points, or removal of points. Death Match, Capture the Hill/Flag, Run the Relic and other modes. Symmetric and assymetric, automated tournaments (variations including: 1v1, 1v1v1 and 1v1v1v1 for a final matchup). Separation of solo queue from premade queue, or only accepting full pre-made teams for tournament queue.

And more game modes. They’re in beta and got like, 5 different ones now? lol

That’s different maps, not different primary game modes. Primary objective still revolves around point capture, although Spirit Watch somewhat bends the rules more in favour of orb running (at least that’s my impression of it).

Because, Smite is made by Hi-Rez. A company that abandons their games once they find a new project to work on. Plus smite looks horrible, looks like it was made in 2008 with a UI that makes you want to throw up.

sounds like a … “beta”…
aw..

oh , you

Lol graphics. If graphics made a game, gw2 would be amazing.

Were you talking to me? The spirit watch comment is kinda throwing me off.
Anyway it does have different game modes and i would advice people to try it out. It doesnt get a lot of publicity yet so any player helps, i think it would have done fairly good if it got even half the hype that gw2 had. This sounds rough but its probably the moba/first person rpg hybrid that ANET wanted to make.

Oh yeah its free.

A Beta that’s been out and open for almost a year now. A beta that you can purchase things in for real money even though the game isn’t officially out yet. Sure, I have no right to judge (sarcasm).

The graphic in GW2 are outstanding, not saying that that’s the only thing that makes GW2 “amazing”. But coming from a company that’s called Hi-Rez who have made Tribes: Ascend and Global Agenda, you tend to have expectations and when those expectations aren’t met you get disappointed.

im not sayin lets go play smite, im saying that if the best pvp experience this game has to offer boils down to arena death match… well there are some better arena death match games out there. gw2 isnt really going to shine as somehow better than them.

but if were talking graphics, at least nobody has a hard time following whats happening in a smite game. i spent time getting aclimated to both games, one is a lot clearer to follow.

also: in Mobas, the important graphic is the tittie pic of the hero on load screen. duh, hasnt LoL taught you anything?

edit: o but the beta graphics prolly wont get much better. graphics dont make good game play, most people run minecraft mode tribes for better fps.

graohics are for the single player crowd.

gank sinatra -) u trollin or did they really own up and start developing new game modes? source?
