Guild Wars 2

BrettKeane.6805:

I still think mounts and other means of travel should be in game. I don’t feel moved by teleporting like in star trek. Portals are fine but way points suck. Also I think some normal quests should be added to game. Realistically people would ask you to do stuff not just by chance run into situations.

I get the whole wanting to be different than other mmo’s but to have no horses or carriage system and people giving you quests feels dead to me. Lacking immersion.

I’ve tried all classes. Warrior and engineer seem very weak. Well, I guess we will see what people think and I will add more input providing I’m not dissed for my opinions.

Aesthetics aside, the looks don’t matter for Guild Wars 2. The game works better than most MMOs, and has its major gameplay systems WORKING for the most part instead of the development team promising to fix them later. Mounts in many MMOs (if not all) are pointless. Their primary function is a run speed buff. The mounts don’t affect combat well, and usually serve more as a kitten indicator than something useful.

And the classes are definitely NOT weak. I’ve one of every class past 20+ PVE, tried them all out in many PvP games and I haven’t found one to be lacking. Yes, some of the have weapon and skills that I think are sometimes overpowered or weak, but that is usually to be expected since ArenaNet is still tweaking many of the classes.

Unlike most MMOs in GW2 the weapon actually matters and the characters don’t have the same animation and effect when they pick up a completely different weapon which I think should be adopted by more MMOs.

An axe is not swung like a sword or a mace. Many MMOs were missing potential gameplay by just giving weapons in the game stat/effect differences instead of actually animation and attack area differences. GW2 is more in line with action titles like Vindictus and TERA in how it handles what weapon you’re wielding.

In the future it would make sense for them to expand more weapon options to other classes for updates or expansions. There is no need to act like the list of weapons we see here is set in stone for the various classes.
