So I bought GW2 just about a month ago, and just wanted to share my feelings on it so far. I havnt played many mmo’s but played enough of them to know most have things i don’t care for like subscription fees, and screwy charactor build setups ect, so this isn’t my first go on an mmo.
Easily said, game looks great, and plays tight. Gathering a group in the open world or dungeons can be a bit of a chore at times, but i expected that coming in late, and doing lower end content. First couple weeks on the game were a blast, leveling progressoin felt good, discover new areas, do “quests”, replace old gear with new, and I was happy with the speed of my progression.i focused on Str and Def traits, with mostly healing and condition dmg on my gear, while using regens to keep me well more than alive as I leveled, it allmost felt too easy.
By week 3 I had pretty much decided I will NOT, on part of my refusal, be getting 100% map completion, simply because i cannot be asked to run around these maps looking for that one way up to these special little Vista locations. WTF is this Crackdown on xbox!? I’ve been told that you need 100% map to make Legendary weapons, if thats the case… pfft. Chasing these vistas Not Fun.
Week 4 and I have hit level 75. Still have lots to uncover as far as the map goes, and stil have plenty of quests to go back to, which is good. Though my build seems to have crashed out, no longer can i stand toe to toe with 3+ mobs attacking me and survive, even though these mobs are 15-20 levels below mine. I understand the level scaling, but somthing changed when i hit 75, my build jsut wanst cutting it anymore, Ive repect and regeard so much jsut today trying to figure out WTF, but ive only gone broke. months worth of coin collecting gone.
This seems to happen alot with games i really enjoy early on. For jsut a few small reasons the fun disapears that much faster.(L2P right? dont, I use /wiki..)
Nah I’m sure I’ll make a nice home where ever it may be.
