Guild Wars 2

When being killed is fun, rather than rage inducing, you know that the game is on the right track. But in Guild wars two I have never really experienced any fun when being killed. I’ve only found myself raging war extreme raging in the case of being killed by some cheap class build.

I think if the game is able to let the player have fun being killed then it is really something extraordinary. The only game that’s done this to me so far is one whose name I won’t mention because I think posting that on these forums might get me banned or infracted. However I’ve been playing this game a lot and at least for now many times during which I’m killed I actually laugh it off and just keep playing and it makes me want to try harder.,

But so far most the times in Guild wars two whenever I’m killed, I threw a fit of rage and say why the hell is that mechanics still in the game oh my God my warrior sucks and I cant play the build I want. Over time this is really took its toll on my mind and my heart condition and I find that I am just overall too stressed when playing Guild wars two PVP every day. I haven’t stop playing altogether but I certainly have cut my game time significantly and I find that I find myself more relaxed overall and less tense.

In fact around the second month of this game I grew some red bumps inside my mouth which I attribute to the stress induced by my mindset when playing this game’s PVP. I also started getting some back pain which I haven’t had in a long time. So for the sake of my own health I took some time away from Guild wars two PVP and try to get back into a state of mostly relaxation which I had prior to this game.

Now I’m picking up the game again and trying to play the moderation because I really will still want this game to succeed. I really want a third person MMO style PVP game without all the MMO grinding fluffs. So yeah if there are those of you find yourselves in a bad state of health due to the stress induced by your high ambitions for S PVP unmet by reality and slow development, then I suggest you take some time away from the game check out some other things in life or some other games and then come back with a healthier approach.

Wait, wait, wait, wait! Being killed should be fun? kitten I think I need some sleep O.o

I dunno.. if I ever get mad I just take a break, it’s that simple..
As long as the players don’t talk this game is really fun to play but a 13 year old loud mouth can really ruin the gaming experience,

I’m not aware of any game where being killed is fun…

Dwarffortress. Losing is fun.

You bet! When I lose a game of chess, or wrestling, or a MOBA, you can bet I get angry, but more often than not it also propels me to work on the things that my loss put into relief. That kind of losing can be “fun”, once the initial anger fades, or if your resolve is strong.

My guess is the author never get’s a chance to have this kind of fun, because he feels losses too often result from mindless play or rote gimmicks.

Being killed should be irrelevant to you as a player. In this game it isn’t. Certain builds can end a fight 10-20 times faster than it takes someone to respawn.

When a new player enters sPvP for the first time, he will probably get oneshotted, leaves and never looks back, because his match was just watching the respawn screen.

Funnier games let you respawn much faster, giving you more time actually playing the game.

Yeah maybe we should just stop focusing on trying to make this game into some big E sport and just focus on making it as fun of the game as possible. I could care less whether this becomes an E sport or not but I do want this to become my go-to PVP game on nights where I’m stressed out from working too hard and I just want something to relax and play with my buddies and have fun.

The last thing I want is again the stresses me out even more than my work does. You know what I mean? Maybe you can cater for players that stay at home and played 24 seven nonstop and don’t even care whether the game is fun or not as long as they can compete and be on top., But I’m not sure how far that is going to get you because that’s probably like 100 players total in the US.

I mean I really want to see a game where many casuals just hop in the midst and have fun for a couple of hours before they head off to bed. Everyone has someone to play with and everyone has fun playing against each other. That would be like some sort of PVP utopia

Yeah, I’m thinking that’s a more important first step.

the same for me,
this usually ends up with me logging on my cheapshot thief and joining the same server and spending the ENTIRE game hunting them, and only them until they leave.

i believe if there was more balance then we’d have sportsmanship, people would win fights based off of skill, and we could appreciate that we won/lost based off of skill,
rather than “me thief, me roll face on keyboard, you die!”
