Guild Wars 2

This is my brand new Sylvari Necromancer. She’s only level 7 so far.

Because I love the idea of plant people. Sylvari are unique and interesting. They are quite original in a genre that usually relies on tropes so they feel very refreshing to me. Their art design is very pretty. I love listening to their voices. They are just awesome all around. Haha. And I’m loving my Sylvari Necromncer. XD

Also, they glow.

Tis a sad day when people need games to be like a 2nd job in order to be interested in them. I guess people don’t play for “fun” anymore.

This is so true. Video games are supposed to be fun. Play how you want that is the most fun to you. If you’re not having fun anymore, then it’s probably just time to move on and find something else that’s fun. There’s no point in forcing yourself to play something you don’t enjoy anymore. I’ve never understood how some people play the game like a job, grinding for gear and rewards. That has never appealed to me.

Ok, I’m a very new player. My first and only character is only level 7. But can I just say how awesome I think this game is? It feels like this game was made exactly for a player like me, a player who loves to explore things and be a completionist. The dynamic events are fun and exciting. I love how a random group of players just starts playing together and cooperating to do the event. The scenery and graphics are so pretty. I love the character designs I’ve seen so far. The voice acting is pretty good. The story lines intrigue me so far. And the combat is unlike anything else I’ve played in an MMO or RPG before. You mean I have to actually move around and dodge or I will get killed?! Haha, but that is awesome to me, because it is much more realistic than simply standing there and mashing buttons over and over again till the enemy is dead. You still have that of course, but there is much more going on on screen and much more you have to do.

So yeah I just thought I would tell you all this, because I am excited and silly. Feel free to share your own ridiculous amount of enthusiasm for the game.

Sounds like this is not the game for you then. You should try SW:TOR, if you haven’t already. From what you’ve described as your play style, I think it would be up your alley.

This seems like a great idea! I am totally new and clueless. I am having to get used to the combat of GW2 as it’s much different than anything I’ve played in an RPG before so I hope people can bear with me for a while!
