Guild Wars 2

Since the spells in the clips aren’t accurate at all (not talking about the dmg output cause that’s rigged of course, but i’m talking about the spells effects)…

Doom isn’t as cool as in the video. It’s quite lame now. Doesn’t even act the same, nor is the special effects similar.

Grasping Dead isn’t as cool as in the video. It’s eh atm. I think it looks cooler when it did a wave like in the vid.

Bone Minion only summons 2, not 3.

The other 2 are still accurate, except that neither of them are as powerful as they are portrayed in the vids.

“Necromancers feed on life force, which they can use to bring allies back from the brink or cheat death itself.” The only skill we have that can bring back allies is…none actually. ‘Cheat death’ itself would be with the Signet of Undeath, which doesn’t even use Life Force. We can’t interact while in Death Shroud so I don’t get where that statement is coming from.

Which kinda makes me think, isn’t this false advertisement in a way? I know it’s nothing major, but then again they are literally showing what it’s supposed to look like in-game, yet in reality, it’s not as it’s being demonstrated. I’m sure the other classes have inaccurate clips as well.

I know this is very trivial, but I’m sure lots of people checked the website profs page before trying Necromancer out and then realized that pretty much half the stuff written there aren’t present in the game.

these videos were released a long long time ago (last spring?) and were the first skills the players knew about (in their early beta version). Just look at the Mesmer ones. They’re just hilarious because most of the things shown are impossible to accomplish.

But it’s true they could be removed and replaced by real gameplay videos.

At the very least, remove the parts about Fear being necro-specific condition, since that is far from the truth.

Where do I sign up for that game? It looks much cooler than the GW2 I’ve been playing!

It’s pretty clear they have a pro marketing department. They seem to excel in bait and switch methodologies .

False advertising: Any advertising or promotion that misrepresents the nature, characteristics, qualities or geographic origin of goods, services or commercial activities.

Seems to fit like anklets on a fat chick.

But what are you going to sue for? Your money back? The phone call to the lawyer will cost you more than the game itself. It would cost many tens of thousands of dollars to take Anet to task over its false advertising. And no lawyer in their right mind would bother trying without piles of cash to finance his billable hours.

When the hell did Bone minions summon 3 instead of 2?
Where the hell has my third bomb bug been all this time?
