Guild Wars 2

wow… kudos to the OP: Corian.4068 I didnt think there would be anyone that would talk about this in such a way…

unfortunately I have to agree. it does seem that the way MMO’s are designed to be played these days is to simply ‘progress’, GW2 does it somewhat differently and because the ‘progression’ isnt in neon lights saying “hey…. your completing stuff” and people arent enjoying it…

from personal experience GW2 is the most fun I have had in any RPG or MMO in a LONG TIME.

I have quite a few friends playing GW2; most of them share the same mentality of ‘just do stuff to get stuff, shopping list… dont care…. gogogogo… need to quickly do the next thing…’ the other day I played with a friend… he paid NO attention to the story… what so ever he just rushed through it. not really paying attention and then he askes me ‘er… whats going on?… who’s this? why is this happening? why are we here?…’ then he finally says. ’I’m not doing it right am I?’ of course my answer was yes. it still didnt really change how he played…

whenever i play with them… I simply do NOT enjoy it… we have great fun playing other games together but when it came to GW2 I was surprisingly disappointed…

there are some friends however that play GW2 the way I enjoy it… wich is genuinely enjoying the EXPERIENCE of the game. we have even come to a point that for the most part we physically WALK to our destination instead of running. we explore the world at our own pace rather than ‘right this is done now quickly to the next heart/event/POI ect ect’

unfortunately the mentality of MMO’s now is ‘get to endgame thats all that matters’ is basically conditioned into most players. which I find a real shame because I find that there is ALOT to enjoy in not only gameplay, but story and aesthetics….

I’m rather enjoying the way GW2 handles progression; the only gripe I still have with it is the ‘tier’ system they added for the slot skills. I was in the beta that simply gave you a big list and it was simply ‘right… choose what you think sounds good or to your style’ regardless… I’m still loving the experiences I am getting from it. I bet I still will in the times to come.

well yeah apparently you cant use him at all when underwater. but I can live with that. actually makes me use another elite skill xD

IsSuE.3746:

What do you mean by that? I am having the problem, that my minions seem to be standing next to me and watching me fight most of the time.

specially bone minions and occasionally my shadow fiend… they seem a little… ‘slow’

its nothing major but it does look silly that the Golem doesnt have a ‘walk’ animation. ALL the other minions have a slower paced animation when you walk and yet this one doesnt for whatever reason.

would be nice to see him have a walk animation. I mean common. he is like the only minion that DOESNT suck…

facepalms

you people are really running out of things to complain about?

if you want revealing armor… go play Tera im sure that will have all your preverted and impractical fantasies…

I am actually glad for once that most of the female armor in GW2 actually looks PRACTICAL…

for once a fantasy game that doesnt have my character showing her thighs,kitten andkitten just to say ‘ohh yeah look how sexy I am’

theres plenty of more ‘revealing’ armor further on, the higher tier armor does have alot ‘more’ to ‘show off’

having said that I do not mind SOME armor to be more revealing than others. I mean as an example. a spellcaster doesnt ‘technically need’ practical protective gear because they can defend themselves via other means; aka, magic but classes like Warriors and the like NEED heavy armor to protect them… and no, no matter what you say a metal bikini can NOT be justified as protective nor practical…

lol, I said the same thing in the ‘cant revive pets’ post.

its annoying that most games cant seem to be bothered doing it. I THINK its mianly because its just annoying to be able to have a suitable quiver position for all the variant model sizes and clipping issues with the various armors….

honestly I wouldnt care if it clipped a bit. its still better than ‘magic arrows’ (or hair pins that I saw in another post lol)

+1 for quivers!

I support the OP. it is silly that you cannot res your companion anymore just because “swapping is quicker” why not still give us the choice to EITHER res them manually or swap them out? why was that such an issue to begin with?

I’ve tolerated the “magic arrow” thing from the ranger which ruins immersion a little but now I feel even more detached from my pet… a ranger is SUPPOSED to have a close friend and companion. now we have lost one of the means to interact with them.

I think it should be back. hell if you are afraid of xp farming or something from it simply remove the bonus xp you get when you res them… just let us res our pets again…

you can swap them if you want or you can res them manually why is it so bad to have both?
