Last week’s horrific news that NCsoft and ArenaNet would be laying off a large part of the Guild Wars 2 studio and canceling multiple secret projects had a weird sidenote: The corporate execs couldn’t actually tell anyone who was staying and leaving. That meant four days of not knowing, which as anyone who’s ever been in that situation can tell you is worse than just a quick cut.
>ArenaNet’s Samantha Wallschlaeger has tweeted that over 100 developers were turned out of the 400-person studio. (We have heard higher numbers, but that’s in the right ballpark.)
anons, why? i am trying so hard, i have almost masters in EE, yet i have accomplished so little. no one wants to hire me, i am transparent to girls both in HR and romantically, my life is suffering and at the top of that all my favourite game franchasises have been slaughtered and gaming nowadays in general is awful
a dyke writer was laid off so i guess some of them were

This is mildly annoying, I just decided to buy this game after many years of dodging it, I've grown tired of all the other MMO's and figured it exists so why not try it. I know it's chock full of SJW nonsense but i heard it was still an enjoyable little ride at least until the end of the story/level cap. Wonder if it will even remain online; NCSoft are not gentle masters. >xeselves are getting buttfucked by the minds behind Aion and Wildstar
Adrian Perry
Fool I hope you got it on sale because the only remotely enjoyable part of the game is asura Everything else belongs into the dumpster
I got all of it, base game+expansions for 20$. Money's not really an issue, and I'd just finished installing yesterday. I'm always leery of how much SJW shit i hear about it, but i really loved GW1.
My love of GW1 is actually why i've avoided GW2 because i know it can't be anything like gw1. I miss gw1 dearly.

>Money's not really an issue It's not about you, it's about them. Fuck them. Also even though there ARE some SJW things about the base game (villain faction are either women-hating traditional / conservative warbands or immoral science-focused scientists against the egalitarian nature-loving forces of good, this kind of stuff), shit really hits the fan with the post-game and the living story. Not going to spoil, but expect many cringy moments. Also not sure if you'll be able to play it since it's old content and you'll probably have to buy the episodes through the cash shop, but be aware that a bunch of the story revolves around a couple of special snowflake lesbian couple that are actual ERP self-insert from the dyke writer and her IRL carpet-munching buttbuddy. Don't the pictures on this computer, but they might show up later in the thread.

I couldn't care less what happens to this shitstain of a company and game as long as GW1 stays operational. Hopefully those 2 devs that sometimes supported GW1 didn't get laid-off too.

I hope they fired the literal faggots responsible to letting charr look like this.
later ele healers became staple of endgame raids because of monk enchants and ele primary attributes though which was fucking hilarious because monks at that point in the game may as well not have existed since picking monk as secondary class or playing spiritualist was simply better
Wyatt Jones
LOL THIS GAME HAS 100+ WORKING ON IT? A HAHAHA WOW AND IT'S STILL FUCKING TRASH.
Ian Myers
Pretending Ele is, or ever was, a braindead one-button class is something so out of date that you can't even provide a proper argument. There's probably nothing you can attempt to say that already hasn't been run into the ground and thoroughly refuted.
While I'd personally love to violently murder the person behind that character, that's unfortunately pretty tame compared to the shit you'd see in LA right about now

Ele has always been good because it just has such a strong, varied toolbox that people will find ways to make it good no matter what, even in GW2. It's like that by design, but people hate that so they've bitched about it for a literal decade, causing nerfs upon nerfs to things that just don't deserve it to placate those whiney little faggots.
>tfw Power Blocking bad Eles all over Aspenwood making them rage whisper you for the rest of the day >tfw practising qknocks on shitter Monks with a hammer W in RA >tfw Alliance Battles with your guildies, steamrolling pug teams that can't handle anything beyond clockwise shrine capping I reinstalled GW to get ready to pay my respects if they shut it down, and I've even been playing it a bit, but I know the good times are never coming back.
They laid off a lot of Raid/Fractals devs and honestly, I could not be happier. These 2 things completely shat on the game for me, I want dungeons and good maps to make a comeback.

>Horrific news Karma catching up should never be described as "horrific"; Fall into oblivion, you absolute disgrace of human beings. It's bad enough that you taunted us for years about the game being done "when it's ready" only to release a watered down, chopped up version of what you had us test in the betas - which was, god forbid, an actually okay enough game despite not even being close to its original. It's even worse that you shoved that fat ass bitch's Original Race Do Not Steal into the spotlight so much that you had to rush out a whole fucking expansion of broken maps and unfitting, unexplained "specializations" in order to kill them off enough that they would stop showing up. THEN you had to go on to revisit every single noteworthy character from the first game to kill them off, fuck their storyline or turn them into absolute idiots just to make your own retarded bullshit ragtag bunch of lesbians and disabled weirdos better in comparision.
Burn in hell. I decided to shrug the tranny advocating how great it was to finally transition with voiced dialogue in the middle of the most important capital city when you tooted revisiting dungeons as too difficult as some passing fancy to jerk yourselves over virtue signaling, but I should have known there was no coming back from that shitfest.
>Ele was a complex class No it fucking wasn't. Not in PvE, and certainly not in the mode that actually mattered, GVG. Eles were midline snare/blind and spike assist bitches from day one to the end, and literally the easiest slot you could play. The only change from that was a late Nightfall meta where Mind Blast eles would split off to farm the guard NPCs, but it was never ever considered a hard class to play by anyone.
Lincoln Powell
Fractals were cool, but instabilities were a mistake made by stupid developers that don't know how to make engaging encounters. All they do is add in arbitrary, artificial difficulty spikes
>don't stand beside your ally >but wait don't stand by the enemy >but wait also don't move >but wait everything blows up >but wait the enemies leave trails that insta-gib you >but wa-
Raids in GW2 are a fucking joke. No hard enrage on many bosses means you can just throw your head against the wall and heal/tank through everything, even if you do mechanics poorly, or not at all. People act like it encourages team composition when all it did was lower the barrier for entry, leaving people who wanted a challenge unfulfilled
Juan Mitchell
Ive started playing again, the new zones are the best so far and the writing has improved in the recent episodes (although its still shit). I hope whoever designs the maps werent fired because its the only real redeeming feature of the game. I find it more enjoyable to ignore the story and RP with my own headcanon.
Not him, but you’re an idiot. Ele was always the hardest class to play. Almost every other class is spam 1 button, and just ele solo 25 might stacking is more complex than literally the entirety of all other classes combined. You must be playing hunter

Alexander Gonzalez
Probably Telltale tier ones

The original user was referring to GW1 Eles; Savannah Heat and Searing Flames were skills used for PvE nuking. And they were the easiest class by far to play in GW1. You spent your time shitting out AoE burns and damage in PvE, and blinds and snares in PvP, and absolutely NO ONE was ever known for being a good Ele player in GvG, simply because there was no way to stand out playing one.
Aiden Price
They don't need as many staff members as they had, simple as that. Game will still run just fine.

Every company does this, they just don't "fire" them as such they move them onto other things.
I know Square Enix does it a lot, after an expansion is made they go back to having a skeleton crew till they decide to make a new expansion for instance.
Rude desu. I've taken more futa norn jizz than a asura prostitute.
Dominic Hall
I played GW2 pretty regularly until the current season ep 4. I didn't even finish the episode, it was so dull. Most of my hours in the game were in WvW which had gone to shit due to cancerous meta and Anet not giving two shits about the gamemode. Recent news about the WvW mount felt like an insult.
F2P version is like an indefinite trial. You get a good idea what the game's like but don't get access to the more significant content. There's enough content for you to figure out if you like the game or not. Story is so-so in the expacs, but elite specs are worth the buy if you like the base game.
Ethan Davis
Eh, its controls/engine are pretty clunky for today's standards, but it's still a solid game if you can get used to that. It still baffles me how no one has tried to replicate the skill system though, the game was really ahead of its time when it came to PvP, especially now esports are pretty big. I'd take a GW-style game over shitty MOBAs any day.
Ian Wood
>mary sue futa are you just 12 or are you boring by nature?
It sold millions of copies and it was a niche game from a literally who company when WoW was at its peak popularity. Inb4 "b-but they were former blizzard not literally whos", it didn't seem to help Wildstar much
>implying I'd ever play a boring ass futa No. I'm just a cute tummy having toned tomboy. But almost every ERP'er in here plays futa norns. It's ridiculous.
Hudson Martin
user what are you going to do with that little girl?
>diversity hires >company becomes a total failure A diversity hire that does nothing all day but use resources costs a company about 45k a year minimum, multiply that by about 50-100. You are then left with about 30-50 devs that lay groundwork for every update/expansion. The voice actors cost quite a bit to. Building cost, server tax if it is rented out. I can go on, you have any idea how much youd have to pay a system admin to make a merger megaserver in the way GW2 has them? They arent cheap, a good engineer will charge six figures x2 in seattle area for designing such an infastructure. Western games cost to much money and diversity hires which provide literally nothing for what they are paid are nothing but a drain on the company and the consumers as for every 45k hire they make thats another bullshit item they will put on their store. This is the end for most western games. You can thank Schlomo Goldenberg the CEO for that.
So is it worth it to play GW1? Do I need a guide or read up on anything, or can I just jump in and do whatever?
Ryan Foster
>lose all the main creators of GW, one went to make Terra, one some card game etc >instead of replacing them with talent they replaced them with trannies >make lots of hype about destroying holy trinity and invite gays to play as salads >have lots of hype in first 2 months and then game just dies
You can just jump in. You might need a guide for those new henchmen though, no idea, I played the game when there weren't henchmen like that.

It is better to not read guides. The beginnings in GW are magical, you feel like the coolest guy ever when setting up a build on your own that uses interactions between 2 classes, not to mention "meta" builds are all boring cookie-cutter min-maxing shit that make extensive use of stupid PVE-only skills and broken elites (like I'm pretty sure there are Assassin's promise builds for every fucking class at this point). I would start with either the Prophecy campaign (slower beginnings, long leveling, some tedious parts but a genuine experience) or the Faction campaign (asian setting, comfy Shing jea island, much shorter leveling phase but also much harder missions). I know a lot of people will tell you to start with NF, but I thought NF to be the weakest campaign overall (annoying characters, stupid story-locked gates everywhere and dumb mandatory title-grind to progress). In my opinion, it's much better to make a Faction character and then go to NF as you reach Kaineng City to unlock your heroes. but even then, you might perform better with the basic henchmen you can recruit from any outpost since they already have a complete build until you unlock more skills so you can get better heroes.
Why when I'm having so much fun playing raids and having frantic sweaty sex between fractals?

Currently zerging is just zerging. Having having mounts with CC engage prevents you from rushing with everyone you have.
I hope for portable walls though, but can be destroyed by one charging attack from a supply Dolyak to keep things fair.
Brayden King
the only two reasons Yea Forums doesn't like this game is because:
1. MUH SJW'S!!!!!! 2. IT ISN'T LIKE GW1
Otherwise from that, it's a good game. I put about 1k hours into it and enjoyed it. The story is meh though and babby tier but the gameplay never got stale and wvw was interesting.
Thank god they didn't fire the only competent person in their team, Maclaine Diemer. Jeremy 'literally the Holocaust' Soule was good in GW1 but his work on GW2 was half-assed.
Thomas Clark
But its true though, that's the only thing people complain about, not even OP.
>putting 1k hours into a game that has no progression and no skill ceiling
A bit mentally challenged, are we? The only thing left in GW2 to actually have fun in is the PvP. Raids, dungeons, fractals, events, etc aren't mechanically challenging and don't require anything from the player. Simply for a person to exist and press all skills once they come off cooldown is enough. In fact leveling is completely obsolete. Not to mention all these poor souls who actually invest the time into making legendary items, most of which you can't even sell. The only progression and gold dump that exists are skins and not a sane person would put 1k hours into something for (((skins))).
This, but unironically. Dodging and other movementabilities spoiled most other mmos for me and the mounts are fantastic.
Nicholas Diaz
How about shitty, live-journal fanfic tier writing? Maps that just regurgitate the same braingless zerg events/bosses for the same rehashed currency for the same rewards? Fractals being uninspired, easy, and lacking in any engaging challenge? Raids being made for literal retards, having no depth or challenge? sPvP that hasn't been balanced a single day of the game's lifetime? WvW that has been untouched and unfulfilling for years? Elite specs that absolutely dwarf the base jobs in immense powercreep? A lack of guild-related activities outside of decorations and worthless crafting? A lack of GUILD halls? A lack of GUILD WARS?
Samuel Mitchell
>Raids, dungeons, fractals, events, etc aren't mechanically challenging and don't require anything from the player. Depends. I see you're autistic. Anyway, raids and fractals do have mechanics; They may not be le epic WoW mythic raid tier shit but you can't just go into a gw2 raid like a fucking donut. Everyone who raids in gw2 is elitist and has been since they came out. It's gotten a bit more laxed since I stopped playing so maybe it has changed. >Simply for a person to exist and press all skills once they come off cooldown is enough. No. lmao >In fact leveling is completely obsolete. True. There is no point in leveling past 80. But you need the raid tier masteries to do shit. >Not to mention all these poor souls who actually invest the time into making legendary items I agree. Legendary is not worth for minimal upscale in whatever. >most of which you can't even sell. You can. You can't sell legendary armor or whatever but you can buy that purple greatsword from the tp. >The only progression and gold dump that exists are skins and not a sane person would put 1k hours into something for (((skins))).

>gw2 pulled offline >gw2 players flock back to gw1 >gw1 becomes active again a man can hope
Shifting the goalposts there bud. Other games interrupt or disrupt the fight to engage you in mechanics. Even WoW does this, even if it is poorly. That you think otherwise tells me nothing but that you play shitty games
Atleast I can look back at the fun times I've had playing GW.

Parker Diaz
I dunno man maybe I just have fun playing the game and running around doing stuff because its a Video Game. But on your points I'll say this, the writing is average from what I've played though and I don't mind that I can roll my eyes at some parts but others are just meh, I don't need some "Muh deep" narrative to get my almonds activating. The rewards I don't see anything really wrong with them considering that adding new currencies every time something is released just makes things more fleshed out even if its shallow, if you're talking about dungeon currency then that's the only thing I would ever complain about because I don't like how little the payout and limit that was put on it. In terms of the Fractals I think they're fine the way they are from what I've played. It makes the game into a puzzle platformer in a lot of areas and that's pretty cool, different games within a game. I've never raided so I have no say on that. WvW or Server Wars Is pretty fun even if its just zerging all day, it reminds me of a Musou but with actual people and I'm fine with that. On your point about elite specs I'd say I'll agree with you there but only to the point where I wish there were more slots for skills so these could be addons to the build or at least some build swapping via a tab or something to keep things going much how you can switch weapons. There are also plenty of guild activities but if you want new ones then I don't see what else they can add, the bounties and other minigames are fun ventures but I would like to see more added like how the winter and Halloween maps are but in the Guild Hall which was added centuries ago. But in terms of Guild Wars I'd say that if the mists had restrictions you could make it something like that but ultimately that'd close things off for new people or smaller guilds who would get steamrolled by a bigger or more massive guild. That's just me though user. I like the game and I think its fun.
Hunter Rodriguez
I liked the exploration aspects of GW2, even the jumping puzzles which were pretty novel for the time (although trying to do them on a max height norn was tricky) Once you've levelled though there's no reason to keep on playing, plus the story and lore is garbage compared to 1 Don't forget there was five years of hype for this thing since they basically announced it on the back of the EotN manual
Fast forward to the release and they literally gated the story behind grind walls and doing repetitive hearts over and over.
Lincoln Butler
>missing the point this hard You're so dumb no wonder it took you like 10 minutes to respond to my first post. The point wasn't that other games are easy too the point was that you're argument of reducing and minimizing everything to: >do this >don't do this can be applied to any raid boss. The difficulty comes in when you put it into action with 9 other people and expect to hold your weight. I'm sorry, I didn't know you were a god tier gamer. My mistake.

Not even him, but you sound like a delusional autist. How about just truthfully answering something instead of bringing up unrelated points?
Austin Martinez
>>p-please engage to my whims instead of me actually replying to the argument >not even him Sure, considering both "you" and "him" can't do basic reading comprehension tells me that you are also missing the point entirely. We already derailed awhile ago when he brought up the dumb point of "moving goalposts" when nothing was moved. It was a cop out because he has no argument to begin with.
Jose Mitchell
>I wonder why so many people still fail at this boss Because the game coddles retards, instead of punishing them? If you fail a story boss' mechanic, you just respawn right next to him and remove another sliver of his hp bar. If you fail an event, you still get a reward. Even if you don't know know what your skills do, the game already gave you the build. You can't fail in guild wars 2 and thats the sort of mentality players have. You can raid with exotic gear, but you have to require at least ascended and a meta build or else they could fuck something up with the mechanics.
Hudson Allen
>The fact that I'm addressing all your claims You haven't addressed shit. You're changing your argument every single post because you have nothing to stand on. You keep pretending that I'm dumbing down Sabetha, when you have done nothing to refute that. It's a painfully easy fight in a sea of painfully undertuned fights. The only redeeming part of Sabetha is that it actually has an enrage, unlike a vast majority of the encounters in the game. There are less than a handful of mechanics in the fight, and none of them require any coordination whatsoever. They all act independently of each other and offer no challenge, only "do this menial task or die".
>I wonder why so many people still fail at this boss People being bad doesn't make something hard. You're only as good as you need to be, and you do not need to be halfway competent to clear any encounters in this game.

I'm not even the user who brought up Sabetha.
Anyway, the original point was, before you derailed, was raids are piss easy for you. I will bring this convo back to reality. You can't just go into a raid like a fucking donut. The other people will know you're shit and kick you. You have to know the boss otherwise you're just going to be dead for the entire fight. You can do bosses in exotic gear, but everyone expects ascended. You can do bosses without knowing them but don't expect to beat it first try. The first raid boss in spirit vale for example is pleb filter. After that, everyone in the raid should know what they're doing. If you're the original user who claimed that you can run into a raid and do it willy nilly, then you're retarded because I have never seen a group of 10 people do all the raids with LFR type niggas.
Parker Lopez
This. Combat in this game is actually pretty good.
Luke Murphy
>You have to know the boss otherwise you're just going to be dead for the entire fight. Using your own braindead logic, you can say this about literally every game though. You're saying nothing that contributes to the point of "GW2 raids are hard". There are mechanics that will kill you, yes. You need to know them, yes. Does that mean they're hard to learn? Consistently challenging once learned? No. Go stand in your fucking green square and smack the boss a bunch. Make sure not to stand in the lava! All you're telling me through this pedantic bullshit is that you've literally never played any MMO with meaningful endgame encounters.

People will keep talking about GW1 when GW2 will have been long forgotten
it easily has the best combat system of any modern mmo. The way chaining attacks into TPs work, the boon and condition system, how fluid combat is for an mmo is all top notch. Its no GW1 but if the game was in the hands of a competenr developer the pvp/wvw would be so much more popular
Ethan Anderson

Most of the firings were people who should have been fired long ago and useless social media people/SJW-types with pink hair and trannies. BASED NCSoft in this situation telling Anet to get their shit together and concentrate on the game.
>Hard shit becomes easy once you learn how to do it. wow who would had thought. Except that's not the case for other, good games. That's the point, you colossal mongoloid. A mechanic isn't truly challenging if its difficulty is derived from "well I don't know what I'm doing". Coordination, precision, timing, execution, etc, all contribute to a mechanic that still provides challenge once learned. In GW2, once you learn what's arbitrarily happening around you, there is no challenge. This is even beside the fact that plenty of mechanics can be outright ignored with distorts, heals, you name it. Other games enforce the mechanics.
>Aren't WoW bosses consistently hard once learned >thinking WoW has hard raids user, stop outing yourself. Please.

Does any other MMO have combat like GW2's (dodging and an action camera, less wack-a-mole rotation based combat) and a good RvR/WvW type game mode without devolving into a gear treadmill? I just want a game where I got to git good and can have giant 50 on 50 on 50 battles...
shit was dead since 3 months after release tho. population dropped so fucking much after launch it was insane. gw2 is a piece of shit too, every class feels different but the outcome is always the same.

Is Guild Wars 1 still worth playing or is it true that you can never go back home? I never played EotN but I played the other three campaigns and have nothing but great memories. I'd have to play it solo since I have no friends...
ESO. I'll be the first to admit I'm not huge on animation cancelling being 100% needed to not be a shitter because it feels clunky.
The rotations can be long, complicated, and require various degrees of heavy/light animation cancelling. It can be challenging, which is nice.
I don't play atm because fuck MMOs, but I'd go back to ESO before anything else.

That's because Valve doesn't release sales figures anymore.
No list will ever be completely accurate because companies can just keep sales figures to themselves.
Sebastian Miller
yeah, so it's not really the "16th best selling PC game"
Blake Cook
16th in terms of sales we are actually aware of on a semi-official note though. And you can't deny that the game was very successful with 6 million sales at the same as WoW was brand new.
Gavin Foster
Getting REAL TIRED of these stealth Guild Wars 2 generals on Yea Forums. Go back to your general on /vg/.
What general? you mean that bot infested pit? no thanks
Lincoln Smith
Is there anything to do once you reach endgame/max level in GW1?
Landon Hughes
Max level is not endgame. You reach max level very early. The content continues to gets harder. The low level cap is to force the player to get better instead of just grinding to progress.
Landon Morris
if you're lucky you can come over to bongland and clean my toilet for a living
Parker Russell
Can't take any criticism? If anything you could have explained that retard how news about a game is not a general and that the /vg/ general was bot driven garbage.
You can go do underworld and fissure of woe half way through any campaign, but you need other players for that. Usually, endgame is doing stuff on hard mode, which requires you to have beaten the game.
Carson Murphy
There is but level cap is not the endgame, its just the end of the tutorial.
PVE endgame is hardmode missions/mapclearing, dungons and elite missions. Hard to compare to other games in terms of endgame but the endgame is more of the same but much harder basically.
Lincoln Richardson
To tell the truth I just searched for a reason to post that pic
Jason Gomez
The game is several long campaign that gets progressively harder. Once you complete one you can play through it repeatedly on progressive harder difficulties.
Benjamin Lopez
I see. So did GW1 have a proper ending like what FFXI had?

Shouldn't the GW2 community be really pissed after finding out anet wasn't even working on gw2 and instead on sekret cancelled projects? It doesn't seem like enough have really thought through what everything means.
Nicholas Garcia
I imagine the mmo community is pretty fickle and apathetic. I mean, the FFXIV community should have gotten pissed the money it was earning was going to FFXV instead of the itself which was obvious since Heavensward.
Andrew Reyes
>Shouldn't the GW2 community be really pissed after finding out anet wasn't even working on gw2 and instead on sekret cancelled projects? GW2 players are all sub 100IQ furfags so what do you expect?
Jonathan Taylor
bugs, sometimes game-breaking, every single patch 3+ months between content cycles despite three separate teams working on their own release six months in advance. still comes out buggy most of the time very little new content in returning "festivals" each iteration focusing content creation in parts of the game that don't need it and the players don't ask for
all this stuff happens regularly, which should have made it clear and obvious to most players that anet was focusing on other stuff for the last few years.
Aiden Collins
It has separate storylines for each of the four campaigns and each of those stories ends in a big endboss fight after which you enter the epilogue for the campaign zone where you can meet some unique npc's and see characters converse between each other. If you pay attention to what they're saying as you go through the campaigns, like the Cynn and Mhenlo ongoing romance for example, you might get quite a few laughs because a lot of care has been put into the writing of this game. Those epilogue areas also have a "keeper" kind of npc that will give you a token item you can exchange for one of the max stat/low req weapons that are always good no matter what kind of character you play. Some epilogue zones have extra goodies like the Canthan one where you can tame a rare phoenix pet and two exotic armor crafters only for Canthan characters. You can revisit them after beating the final boss mission again.
Never forgetti. That video and the one with "Perfect world" in the background. Can't believe it has been that long

Thats bullshit anyway since so many times they do direct damage like in instanced dungeons but factor some other way of resisting it.

They were hiring retarded trannies and bold SJW scum since forever, user. Some of them dodged the bullet, so don't expect any changes, the game will die sooner than players would feel any change in game's direction.
All because Anet blew their load on voice actors/ Voice actors already busy with other fucking projects and couldn't be assed to bring them back so it was easier just to do the divinity's orphans thing.

this kind of shit made me think the whole 'interracial cooperation thing' being part of the launch story was a mistake.
You guys I miss my assassin from GW1. I nearly had a full trophy room or whatever from eotn with him. I don’t know if I was any good as assassin, but I ran the final boss solo in the second game and made a lot of money with him. I finished all 4 campaigns on at least 5 characters, my second favorite being monk surprisingly. What a fantastic game, and extremely well optimized to run on my PoS computer at such a high resolution. Just take me back

I'm not one for being a cynical Yea Forums poster but I hated it when I played it on release. Floaty combat, the obsession with no trinity leading to wishy-washy PVE, took until the first expansion what, 2-3 years later to get an actual raid, and the story and NPCs were a walking abomination. SWTOR had better NPCs. You heard me right. reading frog-copypasta reminded me that the NPC rep you have for each of the three factions was actually a bit endearing - and then they were killed for Trahearne to show up
It's famine not feast time, so they are cutting the fat. CM should be used as a stepping stone to get into the industry, not as an end destination.
I loved Norn women and I actually did like the potential of Sylvari as planty elves was neat. But god DAMN did the plot obsess about them. Green Jesus Thrall had nothing on them.
GW2 always gave me the impression of an overambitious game that had to be modified the last months of devevolpment after they realized most of the shit they were going for, either turned out to be boring or simply did not work. I think the most glaring example of that is the trinity and gear threadmill. Despite claiming that in the end dungeons felt like they were still designed around the trinity, and instead of gear treadmill they gave us vanity threadmill and some bullshit conditions to obtain the only real upgrade hoping it'd keep players hooked to the game. That also made crafting completely pointless thus fucking up another game element.
The campaign for Nightfall can be summed up with "Kormir's so awesome, go fight this evil god."

I remember playing the first month after release, most of the city banter was made of "Oh wow this is so much better than WoW, oh please Arenanet jizz all over my face more", literally their only proof that GW2 was great is that it was better than WoW. Dungeons sucks ? Still better than WoW LOL It's bug ridden and unworthy of even a beta ? You'd rather play WoW LOLOLOL WvW is unbalanced and a zergfest ? Why don't you go back to WoW wwwwww Seriously it was fucking creepy, I have seen Biodrones more reasonable.

I started playing my weaver again but then made a ranger. Already feel a bit bored but I'll hold out until I try druid/soulbeast. Might make a guardian instead.
