Guild Wars 2

Here’s hoping 3rd time’s a charm. First time minion bugged and I couldn’t kill him so the quest wouldn’t continue. Now I free the bottom prisoners and all of a sudden I teleport back to the world while swimming to the surface. Here’s to hoping it can’t get any worse.

I go in for melee a bit, swing a few times, and then leave and switch to rifle if I take any damage at all. I don’t wait for the chance to get one-shot so I just spam 3 until I see the guy attacking someone else again.

I find that often, I get hit for about the amount that was healed by the time the animation finishes, so I’m right back where I was, but without any regen.

You’re back to where you were at, but that means you stayed why you were at, even though you took daamage. Right back to where you were is better than lower than where you were. That said, active is only used if you get away from the main fight but are 1 heal away from getting of dots or the range of ranged weapons firing at you.

Trinity lite already exists, it’s just most PvE’ers aren’t aware of it.

Because it’s not required at all.

kinda like a “story area” but for guilds…. and that is repeatable once a day maybe?

You’re allowed to say “instanced dungeon”.

I haven’t played Wow regularly since the month Lich King came out. I bought Cataclysm when it came out and cancelled my subscription in that same month (long history of constantly cancelling and renewing, lol). I keep in touch with some friends from the Army who played Wow with me and we’re together on Guild Wars 2. Ironically enough, playing Guild Wars 2 makes me kind of miss Wow. Pvp-wise, there doesn’t seem to be a balance. You’re either playing a small 5v5 skirmish or a zergfest in WvW. I haven’t thought about Wow in forever, and a week after playing Guild Wars 2 I get the itch to renew my Wow subscription to play some battlegrounds.

Pve-wise, the no-role thing is kind of killing it for me. Every time I go to a dungeon, every fight is completely random. Everyone just spams abilities and you hope you’re not the one being targeted at the current moment. Without defined roles, it seems like there’s just no structure. Once again, a complete zergfest.

I’m also really annoyed that you can only be one one server. Ever. If you want to play with a friend who joined later, you have to either ditch your old ones or just have fun talking to the new friend you won’t be able to play with unless he’ll come to you. Yes, it’s a free and takes a logout-login to transfer over, but that zero in the corner means sooner or later they’re going to start charging for it. 5 characters max, on one server… ever.

Guild Wars 2 is a good game. I love how seamless leveling is, both in the exploring and grinding xp through hearts aspect and in the way that other players around you is a good thing, not competition for mobs and gathering nodes. And I also understand that there are many features Guild Wars 2 won’t have simply because, without a subscription base, there are only so many features Arenanet has the funding to maintain. Unfortunately, that plus is also it’s minus. I honestly don’t know what I’ll be doing once I hit 80 and don’t need to explore to get hearts anymore.

edit for bad engrish
