Expressing one´s opinion is fine, but it just gets a certain meaning when you can use (logical) arguments and facts to support it…
Stating that GW2 is the best MMO is fine at least by me, if you add that it´s the best free to play MMO. Otherwise, without having played it, I think WOW would crush it.
I doubt he said something about playing another MMO.
However I could imagine that some people will play “Path of Exile”, and I heard from quite a few they were going back to WOW.
So…why?
Maybe because Latsch is right? I can´t seem to see anybody here who is having a discussion with him, you just try to bash him cause he´s talking about the bad sides of GW 2, and that´s not right.
I uninstalled GW 2 some weeks ago, cause somehow, I kept getting mails from BLIZZARD (yea, Blizzard…) that I´d trade gold or whatever on my account (D3 or WOW, got mail for both actually).
Shame I don´t own ANY Blizzard game newer than Diablo 2, so some a**hole is giving them wrong information.
Quite a few of my friends here experienced the same without being registered on any Blizzard site, but GW2, so I guess the word “coincedence” is not in order.
Despite the kittenty privacy policy, I feel basically like Latsch and just read this post cause some friend of mine showed it to me, and I managed to remember my password. Guess if not, I could ask Blizzard if they have it by chance…
So, back to the roots.
GW2 was/is MMO of the year…great. Someone ever realized that most MMOs suck horribly?
Diablo 3, with the auction house and low drops, forcing ppl to buy stuff for real money?
GW2 won because it had a concept, and because it has no monthly fees.
I don´t regret having bought it cause it was fun sometimes, that should be mentioned as well.
Just that mentioned CONCEPT…failed. The ideas were only partially thought through, some devs should indeed be fired, and in the end, as much as I appreciate people working for this game without players paying them much money (they pay a bit with real money in BL shop I guess), there is still a bugged game, nice graphics for MMO, however bad design, inacceptable storytelling (you really should play Deus Ex HR or so), and the instances are…well, it was already listed by Latsch.
So, altogether, you can be as naive and positive as you want but if something sucks you can call it.
The “uh, yea, don´t be so harsh, it´s getting better, somebody told me” attitude is just wrong. If you have fun, well, go ahead, but understand that other players have MUCH more fun with other games.
The promises GW2 made mostly turned into a huge load of flaws, if you can ignore that, you have my respect^^
So what you people say is, you do the Ascalon dungeon with, say, 5 lvl 40 guys?
You got time for that? If one of those has no idea of the game (tactics), the char, OR the skills (or all of it), you won´t possibly make it. And don´t tell me such players don´t exist, cause I even see them on lvl 80.
I think her point is that you can have easy dungeons with lvl 80 partys, like one guy said in another thread, a group of 4 warriors and a mesmer kills bosses in 2 mins (not sure which boss, but 2 mins is a good time for any). Even at lvl 80, the lower lvl dungeons aren´t easy, and it´s true that the chars are balanced, but personally I think one tank guy is not enough cause the players don´t just play chars, they play roles. No Ele or Necro will come close, and if they do, they die with 1 or 2 hits cause their skill set is meant for ranged combat or summoning minions etc.
Group balancing isn´t char balancing, simple as that.
I´m not saying it´s impossible to complete dungeons with chars that hardly meet the requirements, but you have much less chances to complete it with a moderate amount of deaths and in a moderate time. The rest is personal perception and preference.
