Should I get GW2? There’s a massive sale, and it has a high rating on Steam.
if you are going to play it
>>719544894What kind of answer is that?
>current year>paying to play an mmolol, lmao perchance
>>719544868GW1 mogs it
>>719544931You are a steam fag, you will buy the complete edition and burn out before the free part stops
>>719544997It feels nice when you grind for something for weeks and finally get it; no other games really give you that feeling.
>>719544868No need to rush with sales. They're a regular affair. Play the vanilla to the end.
One of the fundamental problems with MMOs is that unless you are in the first wave of people, it's significantly less fun to play.Playing a 10+ year old MMO, you are either going to struggle to find players in the early game or you are going to run into people levelling up their nth alt character who just want to blow through the content asap.
>>719544868Why would you give money to woke trannies?
>>719544868its probably the gayest game ever made.gw1 is like a mission-based MMO you can play like a solo RPG adventure, quite ahead of its time there, compared to all MMOs now just putting in brainless slop content and calling it "solo friendly" like GW2, wow, ff14 etc.
>>719545098nta but literally me. I finished Living World Season 1 and dropped it. The story is soooo boring.
>>719544868It was way cheaper before.
>>719545145There's nothing cool to grind for in gw2.
>>719545335For what a big part it plays, the story in GW2 is really very generic high fantasy stuff.
I liked it. Combat felt a bit weird and floaty and the visuals are really grim to my eye
>>719545479This really ponders me. Everyone is saying that GW2 combat is one of the best in MMO market and when you try it, it's a floaty laggy mess. Also you need to stay in melee even if youre ranged.
>>719545398>There's nothing cool to grind for in gw2.wrong
>>719545591>Everyone is saying that GW2 combat is one of the best in MMO marketI don't think anyone says that. It just lets you pretend it's an action hybrid if you use the action camera.
>>719545660Friend of mine keeps saying this. I think he refers to the weapon swapping and combo fields, idk. But it feels like shit to me
>>719545145Just google which ARPGs are the most jewish and/or trade-centered. I know at least the first two borderlands have some extremely hard to get loot and PoE used to be stingy as fuck to promote chinese bots, but I haven't played in a decade
>>719545710>weapon swapping and combo fieldsweapon swapping sucks ass>combo fieldskek
>unpopular opinionaquatic stuff is pretty damn comfy in GW2. I love diving.
>>719544868>"shall I buy garden warfare 2?">shall I get an online only game years after its hayday when only literal toddlers and kids still play itanon...
the only kino class is the chudbender. absolutely worth playing the game for
It's a weird game now. The tone is very inconsistent from expansion to expansion. You can tell it's had rocky development throughout. Heart of Thorns and to a lesser extent, Path of Fire hold up well enough, but everything else is in an odd place. The game was good, but not great on launch, but the areas from the base game feel far more memorable and "classic" than what comes later. It's a lot of useless empty space. Even during HoT and PoF, there's a lot of issues already creeping in, such as long winded, terribly written, in engine cutscenes you have to wait through. The story is not even close to good, and the dialogue is worse.But, the combat is simple and fun enough to make it a decent enough time. If you want to make a build and rip through enemies in the world and run around looking at shit while riding your mount of choice, it's fun for a few weeks. The community is milquetoast for the most part, all of them trying to be FFXIV-lite wholesome chungus's. Every time I go back for a bit, I remember why I quit. It just feels hollow.
>>719545916and women. women love playing dress up in gw2
>>719545967they had a revolving door with writers for so long it became obvious to everyone. five year gap between pof and eod especially.
>>719544868yes
>>719546035>playing fem nornnot with that voice
>>719544868nah, game pretty much blew it's brain out with the "end of dragons" expansion with writing and dialogue that want's to make me blow my brains out.gameplay is easy to the point of dull, the biggest difficulty in the game is figuring out which indistinct blob of spell effects you are in the larger blob of spell effects in larger events.so unless you enjoy grinding in a game that's dull to play, painful to look at and unbearable to listen too, you can just skip it
>>719546154>he doesn't like husky mommiesyou belong in asura hell
>>719544868Only if you like beating up bigots and giving money to trannies
Guild Wars poo sucked. I couldn't level to max without burning out. Farming empty zones with no story
>>719545916>>719545967>>719546192>>719546252>>719546267So, the game is shit. That is disappointing for such a highly rated game.
>>719546267>Farming empty zonesIt is one of the few mmorpgs with zones where you see other players all the time.
>>719546775it had a FOTM push, combined with releasing in an unfinished state but good.so it took a bunch of good reviews in, but slipped hard in quality over time after that
>>719546775>>719546892kek ignore me, wrong thread.I just made a garden warfare joke, Guild Wars 2 I stopped playing years ago so I dont know
>>719545335The base story and LS1/2 are the worst parts of the game.Any of the expansions is a step up in quality from what the game had before them
>>719546775it is sad because it used to be a fun game back in the day.
who is playing mmorpgs for the story?
If you want to play a mmorpg for the gameplay it's the best one with WoW and OSRS.
>>719547814I do if the selling point of it is the story.
>>719548125why not just kys. there is not a single mmorpg with a good story. maybe a few sidequests in osrs or vanilla wow had some good stories. The one with the little girl and the puppet in the eastern plaguelands was alright. And the Edda story in ARR was good. Especially the non quest related stuff (outside of Sastasha, etc.)But all the mmo mainstories? They are all shit. No matter if ESO, XIV or even TOR.
>>719547814Weirdoes who do not engage with the MMO aspect at all. They just like seeing other players run around.
>>719548485No. A good background lore is enough for an MMORPG. Look at EverQuest, Vanilla WoW, Lineage 2 or Asherons Call. They all just had background lore to explain why the world and game are the way they are.MSQ faggots were a mistake. Go play a VN when you want to read something.
>>719545157strangely, GW2 doesn't have this problem that a lot of other MMOs have where there are just years and years of dead contentdebatably the only content in GW2 that is not relevant to this very day is dragon response missions, every other part of the game is relevant enough that there are people always doing it because there are rewards for itkind of bums me out whenever i go back to wow or ffxiv and the only relevant content is the current expansion's content, everything before current content is just fashion farm or broken
>>719548940>the only relevant content is the current expansion's contentNowadays even the content of the current expansion feels worthless if it's not the latest update.
>>719548485MMO aspect is when I have legendary weapons and others don't, and make them jealous by just walking around.
>>719544868Base game is free and funMost people I've heard talk about dlcs dislike them
>>719544868>mmo gameno
>>719545157>One of the fundamental problems with MMOs is that unless you are in the first wave of people, it's significantly less fun to play.True>Playing a 10+ year old MMO, you are either going to struggle to find players in the early game or you are going to run into people levelling up their nth alt character who just want to blow through the content asap.Not the reason it sucksMMOs always dumb down early content so what ends up happening if you're late is that everything you encounter is way easier than at launch because people bitch they just want to rush to the endgame
>>719545967Guild Wars 2 is frustrating because it sits on the very cusp of being good, but always falls short. I think it's because you quickly hit dead ends with most of the gameplay.
>>719544868No. The developers of this game hate you if you're white. If you're an enjoyer of agender engineers though, sure.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxTiwKvp348
>>719551176Damn you really love this video
>>719551176Based
>>719551521I've personally posted it at most five times. Does it surprise you to know that more than one person might have posted it?
>>719551589No, but its pretty sad to find multiple threads of something you hate to spam a video
>>719551805I was directly affected by how awful this product had been, so I am well within my right to warn other people about its poor quality.
>>719551176>No. The developers of this game hate you if you're white.I'm half-Italian.
>>719552701Still honorary.
game was dope when the gvg scene was aliveAgg, Ark, NS, TW, other guilds.Zergbusting was great. Running 15-20 deep and busting huge zergs of double ur numbers.Game sucks now though.I watch vids of our gvgs often and wish I could go back.
>>719550547I think it's because trinity was destroyed and most of the content is meant to be soloable instead of finding a group to do it. It just doesn't feel right doing things alone when people are doing the same exact thing right next to you but you don't need them and they don't need you or even want to bother because it doesn't help you in any way to join up.
>>719544868Hijacking your thread for the same reason, I could never get into GW1 for some reason.
>>719554240This was the most baffling design decision for a game. The entire social aspect of the game was basically gutted from the beginning. I remember all of the friends I made in older mmos from just questing in a zone and this game just eliminated that whole aspect. The Trinity being destroyed was also just baffling. I understand people don't want to tank and people don't want to heal, but putting together a tank set after gearing up my DPS spec was always a blast and the removal of that was just a huge blow to the longevity of the PvE content. Why even have gear with stats for PvE if the most efficient and easiest way to complete it is just run glass cannon?
>>719544868No.Stop astroturfing.
>>719554240>>719555236niggas, how are you whining about the game not being MMO enough when it forces you to play WvW, PvP, and Fractals?That aspect is what makes GW2 shitty, it forces you to play with others instead of casually running around the PVE map and killing bosses with others.
>>719555791>forceswho is forcing you to do those things
>>719555275
>>719555952wizard vault - dailies and weeklies.ascended armor - far easier from fractals, crafting is a waste of time.almost all legendary armors.
>>719556165you can make your wizard's vault only give you PvE objectives, and any objective that requires fractal completion usually has an alternative open world objective.Ascended armor is easiest from Wizard's Vault, then strikes, then raids. I don't think I've ever had a piece of ascended armor drop from fractals. And I believe you still have to craft Grandmaster Marks to purchase ascended armor from the fractal vendor. And, most importantly, the stat boost from ascended equipment is completely irrelevant if you're only doing open world content.Obsidian armor is obtained entirely through open world content.
>>719556165I stopped playing before w.e wizard vault is.I did fractals and they were shit.I was in the #1 gvg guild NA (wasn't even a part of the game and we had to beg them to add a gvg arena and was completely community driven)The game sucks.You can be in multiple guilds at once and just switch tags whenever. It's trash bro.
>>719544868I still don't understand how people like MMO's. I've tried like five or six of the bigger ones and they're all so confusing to me.
>>719557402What's confusing you about them?
>>719557402not sure if you're outing yourself as a brainlet here or not
>>719557402>I still don't understand how people like MMO'sIt fulfilled the role of social media right before social media hit it big.
>>719545157GW2 wasn't that fun at release either. My friend group stuck around longer for random Korean mmos than they did for GW2. The ones that loved GW1 were pretty disgusted.
>>719557495What to do why there's always so much shit on my screen like one of those memes making fun of a ubishit game for the 50000th time in a row, why the controls are so shit and why I always feel aimless and not really knowing what to do while doing quests.
>>719557547I mean I'm not exactly ashamed (lies) but i'm not afraid to say im slow
>>719558364just to be sure: do you think they are overly complicated or do you just not get the whole socializing partbecause both points are valid to some degree
>>719558306The controls in most mmos are traditional wasd, they're no more shit than controls in 99% of games. And feeling aimless and overwhelmed is part of any mmo experience, you're supposed to enjoy being a nobody lost in an unknown world that you slowly grow familiar with.
>>719547081I really bounced of Hearts of thornes or whatever. It was so open ended I never felt anything I did mattered or progressed anything. >>719545398The game has the same issue as other "non grindy mmo's" like eso, where you dont need to grind and is thus seen as a "chill" mmo, but the grind for special items that are there are the most insane grinds there are
