Guild Wars 2

This game is just turning into another grind fest just like all the other mmos out today. If you want a really good game that is balanced and tons of fun try out swtor its fp2 as well and has alot better pvp system that is fun for all ages.

SWTOR is better than GW2? SWTOR???

Haven’t joined a guild yet, because if I join a guild I won’t have the freedom to just not play for a while if stuff comes up, or if I am really starting to do something in the other MMO I play..

@DavsionACT

try holding down the right mouse key while moving, you can keep your camera on your enemy pretty easily

I just completed the Metrica Province jumping puzzle about 24 minutes ago, and I have to say it was very challenging, and very awesome.

(note: this was on an Azuran ele)

This is something that could make me spend hours trying to find and finish all of them, as I love puzzles (but some tile moving puzzles would be nice, example from Dungeons and Dragons Online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6ofLdrtTok , skip to 5:24 to start watching this puzzle being done (this puzzle is one of my favorites in game), and the way DDO incorporates puzzles into normal questing is very fun, and something ANet could do as well to bring a bit more skill into questing that isnt just reflex based).

For the end fight with the Groemm (sp?) guy, I managed to get him down to 10% (second attempt) before I got downed, but with good use of my abilities (mist form to get out of his AoEs, healing hand thing to regen a bit, shocky thing for some damage, and then big earth hand for lots of damage) I managed to take him out while downed………….then fail the last jump I needed to get to the chest. Luckily I could just port back to the Groemm area and he hadn’t respawned yet.

Overall this was a great experience, and I am gonna say again, good work ANet.

LOL I am trying to finish metrica province before I even leave there, so not trying to rush anything
:)

but that is good advice

I think that they lowered the populations on the servers. I am seeing many more Full servers on the select screen than ever before.

So it can’t be that the game is doing well, it must be that that the devs are making it LOOK like the game is doing well?

I’m glad there are more than just doomsayers here

Yay for enjoyment of a game

Forgot to mention:

The crafting system with the auto drop in bank collectibles, and the discovery recipes are FANTASTIC. The discovery recipes especially

I got this game for my birthday yesterday, and started playing this morning….but gotta say so far this game is fantastic.

Music is great, combat flows really well, it is quite challenging, PvP is very fun (even if I suck at it ), and there are many other great things in this game.

Tonight I did a group challenge in Metrica Province for fighting a giant ooze, and that was tons of fun. Since I was running a staff elementalist I was tossing down heals for the other people and doing my best to keep trash down, and with the help of an engineer and a mesmer it was difficult, but still completable, and tons of fun.

Good job arenanet, this game is an excellent piece of work.
