Guild Wars 2

It is focused on the floor so you do not notice the 800 bots with bears running around in every zone.

Since quoting is broken….

“For people who don’t know it takes about 2 days to farm enough gold to buy a full set of exotics in any stat configuration. It takes about the same time running dungeons to get 1 piece of exotic gear from a dungeon in the same stat configuration. "

Ugh. No?

Unless you just straight up buy gold through the TP, farming takes significantly longer to acquire one piece, much less a “full set”.

A dungeon run comparatively has a pretty good shot of giving you some kind of exotic, if not that, badges for armor skins that are arguably worth more than exotics.

Quoting works fine, and my Warrior had full exotics in less than an hour after hitting 80, It broke me, by I did it with only the gold I made from selling crafting mats I gathered as I leveled.

funny how the features that are missing would cause mass riots at the start of most “MMO’S”, but the blind legions of kool aid drinkers that make up a large portion of the GW2 fan base give arenanet a pass.

One of the dynamic events in I think it’s Blaze-ridge steps where you aid an Ogre in taming pets for his clan has a Merrie Melodies reference.

On occasion after taming one he will state ‘’ I will love him and pet him and call him George’’ which is a reference to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JlVqfC8-UI

That one makes me laugh every time I hear it. Glad I am not alone.

From 1 to 80 the game is fine for what it is, a single player co-op game that pretends to be an MMO. The first time to 80 is pretty fun if you realize that is what it is. After that it gets rather stale quickly, but as a co-op game it is fine.

As an MMO it fails miserably after max level, but if you like doing the same thing again you can roll another class.

Halo.1064:

Ironically, it was probably ex-WoW players (which there are millions of) who hyped it up since many of them are so desperate for a new MMO.

More likely the legions of WoW haters that have hyped up so many games in the last few years hoping to see someone kill off WoW. Once again the game did not come close to matching the hype.

Knuckledust.5621:

Well, if this game had a subscritption fee I doubt even 10% of the population would keep playing. So yes, awesome marketing and hype, terrible deliver of the promised game.

Exactly right.

That would make this an MMO and not a co-op single player game, we can’t be having that!

It could be done, that game whose name cannot be spoken did it with phasing. And GW1 had Ascalon pre and post searing before that.

Commie lover! :p

The game is worth every penny I spent on it. I got it as a gift, so take that however you want.

What this game really is, whether the defenders of GW2 want to admit it or not, is a home for those that dislike other MMO’s because they frankly were bad at them, and never got to see the endgame because of it.

If anyone remembers the Rudolph the red nose reindeer Christmas special, this is the Island of misfit toys. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SH1j1luFOw

There is no real endgame because it would fracture their tiny ego’s knowing that once again nobody wants to play with them because they are sub par.

You can thank the “trophies for everyone” “no keeping scores” mentality that starts in school these days for the new breed of gamers who hate to see someone get shinies they cannot get because they are bad, and would actually have to work to get better.

So let them feel superior by saying “you don’t get it” and move on, misfit toys need homes too.

^This guy measures his success in life by how many shiny pixel things he has collected in games. Games he now no longer plays. Yeah we’ll listen to you, you obviously know what you’re doing =)

In game or in real life I actually want to succeed based on my abilities, and if working harder is what it takes, then I work harder, but it’s ok, you always have GW2 and in real life the welfare state, they don’t care that you have no desire to work at anything, and wont judge you.

XD, yeah, I love how you don’t have to grind in this game.…

If only those legendary grinders could get that into their thick heads. XD

Look another I’m better than you because I don’t need to say I’m better than you person.
Ah the irony.
