Guild Wars 2

Karizee.8076:

1) No mods are allowed in GW2.

2) Tons of stuff – dungeons, fractals, guild missions, world bosses, living story, WvW and Pvp. It sounds like you might be especially interested in these:

3) Exploration is one of the best features of GW2 – look behind waterfalls to find hidden jumping puzzles, fall through a crack in the ice to discover a new zone, complete events to unlock portals into hidden areas, ect. It’s a gorgeous world.

4) Here are the weapons by class:

5) Not sure what you mean by a spellsword, but you might find the Mesmer class interesting.

6) At launch there was over 60 feature films worth of voice acting, they add more with every patch.

7) The gem store sells only vanity or convenience items.

8) You can do them all except for the first Season which was designed a bit differently.

9) There are no quests in GW2, instead you’ll find dynamic events.

10) No way to say, would really depend on how you approach it.

Welcome to the party

At 1): Are you sure? The addon author said the mod was allowed as it doesn’t really give you an advantage over someone else, actually it can give you a disadvantage apparently. ANet also says that any addon which doesn’t impact others’ experience are allowed.

Hello everyone! I’ve come from ESO while waiting for their new update and GW2 looks like a very fun game to play. So I bought it after watching some gameplay videos, and it’s downloading right now. I have a few questions about the game:

1) Is the Immersive Combat Mode mod allowed, and if so is it compatible with the current version of GW2? I ask this because I’m not used to hotbar-oriented combat being an ESO player, but this mod I think will really improve my GW2 experience.

2) What is there to do once I hit level 80? I like large-scale PvP and the occasional piece of story. Is GW2 bountiful in that category?

3) How friendly to explorers is GW2? The world looks like one that begs to be explored and I’m quite a go-off-the-beaten-path sort of player. What are the rewards for exploring the world?

4) Can any class use any weapon or armor type like in ESO?

5) What’s the best class for a “spellsword”, or something that both melees and casts spells?

6) Not a massive concern, but are the game’s NPCs fully voice-acted?

7) Does the cash shop sell P2W items, or just cosmetic things like vanity pets or armor dyes?

8) Once I reach level 80 can I do all of the past quests released by the Living Story or just the current ones?

9) How are quests in GW2? Are they a bit short and grindy like WoW or Archeage e.g Kill 10 rats, collect 6 human heads but not all humans have heads, or are they more long and story-based like ESO?

10) How long will it take to get to 80 if I don’t rush and take my time? I play for about 4-5 hours a day.

Thanks
