The MMO successor to WoW, and the best one I've ever played.
>>2008650MMO players are such uncultured swine.
>>2008706Show me your best or stay hidden forever.
>>2008650Gameplay, gearing and open world content is designed correctly, but the story is such utter dogshit that it's genuinely hard to maintain interestWhat a fucking mess this game's plot is compared to the original
>>2008751Sad when this happens. Grandia 3 is just like that
Tranny game
>>2008650And 100% a tranny faggot ass containment MMO.
>>2008650it's a great casual social theme park mmo. there are no real challenges other than tard wrangling morons in group content. there is very little depth to building and gearing. the story is trash. what the game succeeds amazingly at is making players want to do open world content with hordes of other randoms. it makes the game so much more inviting and alive than mmos where everyone is camped outside of one dungeon in endgame and the rest of the shit is dead as fuck or everyone is siloed in their guilds and discord servers.
>>2008650Wow sucked dick. You can judge a games horrendousness by celebrity endorsements.
>>2008917>>2009312but enough about wow classic
>>2008650lmao no, just go play GW1.
>be op>claim gw2 is wow killer>boot up, no sub fee means tranny central >grinding mounts all day>action combat? more like mash keys while zerging world bosses like a bot>story hits, realize it's dragon bad, heroes good slop worse than wow's pandaria filler>gear? horizontal cope, no real power spikes like wow artifacts>try pvp, get wrecked by wallet warriors gemming convenience>meanwhile wow chads raiding mythic, actual guilds, lore that mattersngmi with your theme park trash, seethe and dilate faggot
too much gay slop
>>2014553>try pvp, get wrecked by wallet warriors gemming convenienceget gudeverybody literally has the same fucking gear>>meanwhile wow chadsAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>2008650Any suggestions on races and classes to get started with?
>>2021423Race doesn't matterNecromancer, Ranger, Revenant are hard to go wrong with. Only class to be mildly cautious about is Ele and Engi since they have (typically) 3x many buttons to press but put out exactly the same DPS
>>2008650Is GW2 open world?
>>2014553>>try pvp, get wrecked by wallet warriors gemming conveniencelmao actually mad cuz bad>tranny centralbut enough about wow classic
>>2021658Yes, it has a great (but not very challenging) open world experience. None of the content becomes out of date, unlike most competitors.>>2021896GW2 is also filled with them to be honest desu, but it's not too hard to ignore them.>mythic raidingGW2 has challenge mote raids and a few other hard mode options for mazed dungeoneersalso,>wow>"chads"
>>2021423literally anything that looks coolest to you here>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdE6JaSlkosthough be advised you need to get the complete Elder Dragon Saga to unlock all advanced Elite classesVirtually a steal on sale though, compared to any other MMO on the market..
>>2008650It's sad that this is obvious bait. The game had brilliant potential. 2nd best mmo pvp after WoW with none of the grind, and a ridiculously incompetent balance team along with neglect ruined it for everyone.
>>2014528GW1 has terrible combat. The movement felt like a step back for MMOs when it was released.
>>2008650For me, it has been dead for years now. Played since launch to EoD. A lot of fun, a lot of dear moments, a lot of rare and grindy achievements. But the amount of enshittifications from the Arenanet broke me. The game went from "the game that respects your time" to "we're now too big and you're too involved, so shut the fuck up and be milked".This, and dogshit abysmal story with awful, awful characters and development. The only ones I tolerate are Rytloc and sassy plant man (I even forgot his name), and both of them are one-dimensional joke characters while I must suffer through another "chapter" of the rest of the cast. And to think, I was very optimistic when they were all introduced around Dry Top storyline!I was also optimistic when the story went to the dark forest of Bjora Marches... just to get a literal years of fucking Hitler Scar from the Lion's King with a much-needed lessons of "war sucks" and ofc "who know who is right?..". Fuck it. Fuck all arenanet writers.For new players, I'm sure it is very fun and still holds great on a solid foundation. I just hope that GW3 will show arena still has talent in the studio besides 3-4 good level designers on life support.
tried necro years and years ago and lost all interest since i couldnt use the market because i didnt wanna link my phone #
>>2029728>can only pay with phonethe jews enslaved you guys pretty well, didn't they
>>2029728>>2030322>pay with phoneor did you try the 2 factor authentication?winauth still works perfectly fine and you only need it oncethe GW2 launcher saves the state on your computer
>>2008650i find the events to grindy and the attribute point quests are obnoxious.
>>2008650they should definitely rework the cutscenes for the class campagnes. How can somebody watch this without falling asleep?Even a lot of visual novels are more interesting to look at because they show emotion or interesting backgroundThat was one reason i was so disappointed as a Guild Wars 1 fan: doing event grinding just to look at this
>>2035767that's why there's a fucking >skip to endbutton, for add TicToc kiddies like yourselfif you'd actually been playing this game, you'd miss those goode ole cutscenes because all the new expansion have unskipable open world story events
>>2034153>I hate MMOsgot itperfect thread for you
Incredibly boring. Everything is too easy, drops are tailored. I was constantly being thrown items and dogshit that I could equip within the first 15 minutes of the game but none of it mattered. Everything died slightly faster despite nearly instantly dying without putting a dent in my health anyways.
how much time to finish the game in a free account ?
>>2036048what if i want to enjoy the story? Guild Wars 1 and Star Wars Old Republic have a story that was recently presented. It doesn't have to be a shitty slideshow
>>2037017*decently presented
>>2026596I agree, but what would they even want to do with GW3? they dont seem to keen to change anything in GW2, they havent changed anything for the better for nearly a decade.And storywise? gw2 was never strong on the story, but they have navigated themselves into a corner. The asurans, and with them the pact, is so strong, whats even there to stop them? they are stargate post season10 levels of powerful, even more honestly. This story is over. The world of gw is conquered and everything new is retarded bc it would need to go through hoops to write away the superiority of the rat. They should have never went the magitech route.
Is the new expansion any good? I only really play WvW but it's fun to play once every few months
>>2041268People seem to like it and I'm partial to it too, just from having watched Mukluk's livestream playing on launch dayI usually buy expansion the week before the 1st update is launched.It's pretty gorgeous and the 9 new Elite Specs seem cool, also instant diving for your water glider.
>>2038824Haven't really played Guild Wars 2 for long. As a fan of the first game i really liked the war against the Charr. I was very disappointed how the SFlame Gleion disappeared. They could have been an hostile empire that would wage war against humans and the Charr player characters.
>>2038824Technically they're now wide open to the eldritch horrors of the outer universe.Though if all we get is good guy Demons, White Mantle retards turning into half-assed Kaijus and faggot fucking DEI Pirates...the future looks grim.
>>2035767I played the game for the first time last yeari greatly preferred the VN cutscenes you can mash through to the unskippable, poorly written, 30+ minute bullshit in more recent expansions where you listen to strong women talk about bullshit I dont care about. There's also retarded bears who talk................ so................... slowly................ that...................... I.................... want.................. to........................ die.....................
>>2044419>There's also retarded bearsOh god don't remind me!I have to eventually replay that shit on a couple of alts or two and it's already pissing me of.At first there even wasn't proper voice over because OF COURSE one of the fucking bitch VA was a Union commie who "observed" their retardedly useless AI-strike.
>>2025307Game had primery class and secondary class that allowed for many unique builds
