Guild Wars 2

I like the minion in GW but I also understand the mechanics are different in GW2 and why they are different. I really think the minions look like crap in GW2 and how awful the summoning sounds really are. You wouldn’t think that the models would look worse than a game that is 8 years older.

When I started playing a Necromancer in GW2 I was looking at the models and the sounds both seemed worse than GW1. I thought that my memory was a making the things seem like they were better because I haven’t played GW1 in a couple of years. I launched GW1 today and played my minion master necro. The models for the minions are so much better in GW1. The flesh golem looks more menacing and better than the model for GW2. The bone fiend in GW2 isn’t all that bony. The bone fiend in GW1 is nothing but bones. And the casting of the spells for minions in GW1 sounded menacing. They sound like a sci-fi gun shot shot in GW2.

There have been times I thought GW1 was more advanced from a model stand point than GW2. The textures are often better and spell effects are better in GW2 than GW1.

I am sorry if I am rehashing things that were said before. I don’t visit the forums much and the search didn’t pull up anything that I could find.
