Guild Wars 2

To me GW2 feels like a completely different game. It doesn’t feel like Guild Wars. I feel like Anet came up with some random concocted story to explain why Guild Wars isn’t Guild Wars any more. Not much mention of Dwarves. Cantha and Elona are gone. Ritualists, Dervish, Paragons, Monk… all gone. Mesmers are completely different. The Gods are gone. Most ruins are either gone or hidden underwater.

Maybe I am missing something but I don’t even remember half of this being talked much about lore wise. What happened to all the classes that don’t exist? It’s like everything from GW1 was glossed over. While I realize certain things may be mentioned here and there, for the most part all of it has been thrown out. They got rid of all the things that made it feel like Guild Wars and replaced it with pop culture (zombies and dragons).

In GW2, you are just DPS. Would you rather DPS like this or that? It makes it feel completely casual and it gets really repetitive. There’s only so many ways you can kill things.

I don’t know. Maybe it’s just me. When I read “Guild Wars 2”, I expected it to at least some what resemble Guild Wars. It’s not that I didn’t expect Guild Wars 2 to be different. It’s centuries in the future. What I didn’t expect was to find a game devoid of most Guild Wars lore and replaced with zombies.
