A lot more people gonna quit within this year, gw2 gonna become less populated compare to now later this year. Gw2 main selling point currently is b2p but couple of b2p MMOs too are releasing this year
Gw2 had so much potential, really much potential but I am not sure what happened, I guess the guy in charge of gw2 gotten too ahead of himself?
I’m too looking forward to all the wonderful titles coming out this year, this is a amazing year with DX12.
If you really only like massive fights I do not think BnS will be what you are looking for. I did one beta and the pve is your normal pick up as many quests as you can, run around do them, then turn them in for rewards type of game. PvP as far as I know is 1vs1 and 3vs3 and it does have open world pvp but it has to do with the outfits.
As I was running around in low level zones I noticed higher level players camping around outside of those areas probably to pick off low level players. WoW ringing a bell to anyone? I didn’t even get into the pvp though so not even sure how fun or not it is. Its a different type of game more like a fighting style game that has to do with landing combos.
It was pretty fun as it was just something different and I’d say for a free game its worth a shot to try out. I actually have a little over an hour of the beta I did if you want to see what the pve is all about

Man, 8 days and the silence goes on. They must really be stumped this time.
I know (from the PvE forums during the HoT fiasco) that they don’t post unless they’re sure they have a definitive answer but 8 days seems like a long time to be indecisive.
Yes, things started to go wrong with the ferocity patch, some aoe ranges were increased without anyone thinking of wvw obviously, that was a turn off as well, then anet showed some interest in wvw and since most guys on the forums seemed to complain about zergs we got the stability changes which were meant to destroy zerging but instead buffed zergs – like everything anet brings into that game mode. The new maps though are indead a zerg killer. Still I don’t get why my toons have to auto attack barricades for 5 mins just so I can take camps on our BL back – people always insisted there were no solo roamers and since solo roamers (as the name says) are few there weren’t enough around to prove their existence – well now we’re going extinct as it’s really frustrating. Then the camera changes came with a patch every other day or week, whenever anet liked – it’s not that we need the camera to play and that pvp/wvw can be quite stressful as it’s an competitive mode and every change is potentionally devastating. I’m still not able to move like I used to and probably will never again – but it’s useless to try to adjust the settings as the next patch might be around the corner.
Then we had lags and anet blaming our internet connections for it. Then guilds were killed off with HoT, the balance is screwed (but every time I mention it someone jumps at me and claims that NO ONE CARES ABOUT WVW STOP BEING SO ILLUSIONAL IT WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE BALANCED – thanks for that anet – you basically muted me with that quote) – there’s a lot going wrong and it seems as if they want to kill wvw off, cause everything they do is killing it.
Still not all changes that came with HoT are bad but the non existent balance, the pirate ship, the bugs… just overshadow anything good.
ETA: The ferocity patch might have been the best that has happened to this game – although conditions became way too powerful which was a problem in wvw. (And well some stats/armor types should’ve been looked into)
