What's /v/'s opinion on this game? I know a lot of GW1 players don't like it because it's not really similar to GW1 at all, but what about new players or casual players? I personally love the gamealso RIP /gw2g/ 2012-2017

I like it for the max level pvp mode.
The questing is alright if you have a populated instance.
>>383526935
Fuck you, fuck this game, and fuck the furry enablers that killed /mmog/
>>383526935
GW1 was great. You had tons of skills for each class and could really make unique builds. GW2 felt more like a themepark mmo with no fucking variety whatsoever.
>>383527050
yeah, doing world events is a lot more fun if you aren't doing it alone like you often end up doing in low level areas. I've been having a blast just doing shit with my guild mates in drytop.

:^)
Pre-ordered this game for the weekend early access because I was bored. I stopped playing it shortly thereafter. Hate it.
>>383526935
I loved its RvR for a few months.

I picked up GW1 a bit after 2 came out, I liked more skill variety but GW1 still feels just as much like a themepark as 2 IMO.
The only MMO I've ever put more then 10 hours into is BDO. I got this and HoT for like ten bucks on CdKeys last week and I've enjoyed it so far. My giant Norn warriorfu is fun to play, minus the boring as all fuck tab-targeting that infeats most MMOs
>>383526935
it's shit, invisible walls everywhere, it's just fashion simulator
>>383527050
You mean the PvP where two people just wail on each other unable to kill each other? Yeah, that sure sounds like a lot of fun...
>>383526935
It's just so fucking boring and it seems to get worse with every update.
>>383526935
Big pile of shit to the point where it's main audience is people collection transmogs to show off.
>>383526935
SJWars 2 is shit and stop shilling this game here
>>383526935
It doesn't deserve to be called Guild Wars 2. I like the game, but after you've completed all the raids and fractals all that's left is open world and that's gotten pretty stale. I'll probably play the next log in to the next living world update, but my drive to continue playing has dipped.

>transmogs
WoW pls leave
>>383526935
How about we consult the GW2 sales on how it's doing?
>>383526935
i love all the character bank&wallet sharing it has. makes me spoiled trying out other mmo's because every fucking thing is character bound in them
gw2 pve group content is shit tho. instance is you just los everything and open world you just zerg the shit out mobs as it only aggros on necromancer/ranger pets only
>>383526935
I like it. Still play it. Just played it.
>>383526935
It's forbidden to talk about GW2 on /v/ OP, just leave and enjoy the game.
And ignore the pile of shit that /gw2g/ is.
And join FUN.

It's the only MMO with a western playerbase in this pic.
>>383529738
while the combat is always tab-target it gets really interesting once you hit level cap and starts doing expansion maps and raids the combat gets a lot more action focused with dodgerolls being required to survive.
>>383530470
main audience is pretty fractured between raiding, fractals, pvp, wvw, or just doing everything for legendaries, what transmogs are you talking about?
>>383526935
Disclaimer: quit before the expansion and never looked back.
I like the way it looks, the different types of races being so varied, and the areas are cool. The gameplay is just anti-fun. Nothing is difficult, keyboard faceroll clears everything. Points of interest are somehow more grindy and less fun than regular questing, events get tired by mid levels. The story is hot garbage too. It's a shame because the art team was on point, and the environment designers did a fantastic job, but it's wasted on such a mediocre game.
Oh and crafting is an utterly futile endeavor, why even have it?
>>383531287
all of those games minus guild wars are mainly asian audiences, which will pretty much always be bigger than US/EU (just look at league of legends)
also I could have sworn lineage 1 had its servers shut down in 2012?
>>383532049
If you do ever decide to come back into the game, all the story content after Living World season 1 is suprisingly good (not perfect, but not bad either), and HoT added a lot of harder content to the game in the form of raids.
>>383532049
You might want to give the expansion a try when it goes f2p because it made the combat so much more satisfying and raised the skill floor by a ton since people were forced to get better to beat the new worlds events or clear high level fractals and raids.

Sorry outdated image, here are the current sales.
>>383529237
I played GW1 from launch and it's about as theme park as an MMO can possibly get. Best in class for theme park MMOs but everything in it is a ride, what with instancing and all.
I miss it so bad. I'll leave your thread alone though since I have nothing nice to say about GW2.
>>383532229
And asian games have monthly subscriptions there, even GW1 did.
the spvp is fun in short bursts, it's the only content that actually uses the combat system to its full potential
anything outside of that is boring crap
