Nothing. Take care.

We got (((2))) instead of Utopia.

Mostly discontinued support and updates after GW2.
That's literally it.

GW2

2 was good for a while

Completely unnecessary sequel, new expansion and updates with new mechanics that only forced you to prepare for the sequel
It felt like we were pushed towards the exit

The developers thought they could pump out two campaigns every year as the primary way of monetizing the game.
Once they realized they couldn't, they followed the microtransaction bandwagon with GW2.

Sjw politics killed it. When it was bros making video games that was blissful times.

Nothing. It can“t be played to eternity.

reminder that GW1 had a ton of directly comparable gameplay loops to GW2, and the balance was even worse. I love the game but people can't remember anything for shit apparently.

No, no it wasn't.

As far as I remember the only real problem with gw1 was that it followed mtg's design where blue/mesmer just btfos everyone else.

>GW1 had a ton of directly comparable gameplay loops to GW2
Lie.

They listened to whiners on the unofficial guild wars forums

Sorry, but if you think any of this ruined the game, you're a retard.

Factions ruined it for me and I don't remember why. But eye of the north was good. I don't think anything went wrong though, aside from them suddenly deciding to make GW2.

Only kids too poor to play WoW played GW1. You know this to be true.

jesus, is this really GW2?
wtf happened?

>GW1 was a unique creative MMO that didn't bother to be a WoW-clone
>was highly successful because it was different
>make its sequel a WoW-clone and completely alienate its original fanbase

it's true but it had a unique approach to MMOs. GW2 was the real shitty WoW clone

Fuck off

They're nothing alike. In ANY way. Fuck off you falseflagging slackjawed nigger.

Sjw paranoid incels stalking gamedevs privatelife twitter. Appart from that nothing really changed

didn't that one gw2 dev insult a content maker and two people got fired over it?

You're delusional if you think WoW was ever good.

You're delusional if you think WoW was never good.

Ye, shit happened. While i think theres gotta be a punishment since the behaviour wasnt acceptable, straight out kicking out both was a bit to much.
Something fucking stupid as twitter shouldnt have such a huge impact on games

GW2 straight up copied the themepark elements from WoW nigger

Go on, name them. I'll wait.

>themepark argument
people should stop copy every dumb fucking nonsense argument e-celebs say

typical anet knee-jerk over reacting as usual. how the fuck you get fired on your day off? use twitter lmao.

mounts for starters

What an anti climactic way to say you have no idea what you're even saying. Jesus you people don't even deserve to breathe.

Nothing went wrong, but people in here saying GW2 was ever good are burning out their last brain cell.

It had nothing to do with the SJW shit pulled by employees, the game wasn't fun in its own right. I waited a long fucking time for GW2 and was so god damned disappointed.

2 wasn't a real expansion on what 1 did.

No it fucking was not.

you still cleared 100% of the map faggots

Hell no I fucking didnt. I played for around 20 hours when the game first launched, dropped it, played for 10 more hours after the most recent expansion and it was still trash.

God I wanted to fuck this bitch bad

Always loved gw skill system and class system. I made crazy pvp builds and could roll on hordes of plebs who used meta shit. There was this build which i used for farming and i swear to jesus if i had one more skillslot i would be able to solo all endgame content. So many combinations so many possibilites to beat game. It's rare in these days indeed. In fact non existant.

I never played Factions or GWEN. I'm 99% my old account is either gone or suspended somehow.

Is it worth trying to find a collection and start all over again?

Everything was going good until 2 came out and killed the whole series.
People tell me that 2 is better nowadays but i flat out dont care about MMO's anymore, that time is over.

>I never played Factions
How do you even go through Prophecy and Nightfall, but not Faction?

Attached: 1561996313058.jpg (474x474, 76K)

They made a sequel that stripped away much of the challenge. Before the sequel, they made AI followers you could gear that killed a lot of partying up while also giving you something better than the AI partymates you ideally got away from using since they're uncoordinated. Monks went from being high demand to no demand and a dead character short of you proving yourself the exception if you even get a chance with a group.

Multiclassing is gone in GW2. Partying up being mandatory for the world is gone. Everything feels empty and the sequel ramps you up in power only to dump you into one of the most cyclical grinding processes I think I've ever seen in any MMO- and I've been no-lifing MMO's since shortly after EQ1's launch.

I vaguely remember that I played it right after playing wow for a bit and I didn't like it because everything felt instanced and it wasn't just an open world to run around in like wow. It seemed very limited and my class combo was shit. So I got to max level, did a few things then went back to wow.

Attached: 1564524332568.jpg (482x549, 41K)

Hall Of Heroes and Underworld were far more challenging than anything in GW2. Earning the gods' favor through winning international PvP that filters out shitters before going into the matches themselves was the coolest shit.

My account is gone aswell, arenanet support either doesnt reply at all or is too incompetent.
However, i dont think so. Theres not enough players for all the group content

GW 2 would be better if they would make content far easier and soloable. It ridden with most retarded playerbase known to man. Women/Kids and soilent drinking orbiters. Impossible to do endgame content because all of them have braindamage even if they follow metabuilds. Stoped playing 2 years ago and im not touching it.

GMs there are expecially retarded. Beyond SJW.

with guild wars 1? nothing
with guild wars 2? practically everything
it's so fucking boring and easy, the plot switches between avengers and teen drama every other episode and nothing seems to have any lasting effect due to the 'lmao all maps are locked in time so nothing changes in them' rule. all the lore in gw2 is inconsistent, and anything that seems good is usually because it's lefover lore from gw1.
HoT was better than PoF because it was actually slightly difficult and you had to team up with people to do challenges

My first character I ever rolled was Warrior/Mesmer partially because I had no idea what the fuck I was doing and because I had a big dick boner for debuffing. People laughed at my class until I got illusionary weapon and made a build focused on acquiring and sustaining the highest number of attacks per second I could then would walk straight up to other warriors and shred them the fuck down.

At least you did something right
I was playing R/N because I thought it would make me invincible to spam Life Siphon on as many mobs as possible, even though I had fucking Troll Unguent already

GW2 stung because I was so hyped up from GW1 and came fresh off of it. I know nothing of the drama around the game and tend not to keep up on that kind of shit. They gutted my favorite MMO in favor of making it a more accessible imposter wearing the title Guild Wars like a fucking bodysnatcher wearing a corpse.

>I was playing R/N

Touch Ranger, fuck yeah

No that was before the touch ranger fad, before faction even released
I was literally just spamming Life Siphon as much as I could even though I had like 20 or 30 fucking energy points
My friend was W/N and kept trying to summon bone horrors with their 20 energy points

This. Played it for 6 months and realized I am bored.

>a rare virgin mesmer
This game is meant for axe wielding wammo chads

Chaos axe/lightsaber axe or fuck off

The entire lore and story of gw2 is a disaster, everyone was just delusional that it was good during release. I don't remember a god damn thing about the main story, not a single fucking thing other than the dragon threatening the world or something.

Log back into gw1, you should have a shit ton of presents on your old characters.

I mean I wouldn't even be mad at the charrs taking over ascalon if AT LEAST they remained as cool, fearsome and dangerous as they were in 1

For real; just mentioning Touch Rangers could set entire forums ablaze.

Took me an embarassing while to shed the single player RPG mindset and really understand GW's interlocking party mechanics.

One of my favorite mesmer builds I built specifically for Fort Aspenwood revolved around diversion spam. Mantra of recovery elite for reduced cooldowns, arcane echo'd diversion, and energy management skills. I was shutting bitches down left and right, one monk said I shut his entire bar down at one point.

Also had an elementalist rage at me in Alliance Battles because I kept power blocking him.

Have had assassins rage at me in random arena because I kept blinding them with signet of midnight.

Being a mesmer was truly an amazing experience and I'm sad there will never be anything like it again.

To be fair the charr lived in the Ascalon area before humans came and kicked them out. Both sides are retarded here.

Did you even read the skill descriptions in GW1?

Comparing 2 with 1 ar this point of time hurts my feelings. The "sequel" has been such a letdown. Give me GW Classic and Utopia

>skill variety and generic designs
You had a bigger range of interactivity and effects as well as strong system based around interrupts. It was based off MTG. As opposed to the shit rotations you have for every other game of dots dots and more dots. You actually had to time shit. Not being able to jump was weirdly frustrating seeing as I played WOW at the same time. Also the art direction was some of the best in Fantasy.

user this was stated in GW1.

>you couldn't jump
Wipe the drool off of your chin wowfag.

It was stated in EotN, which was written by the GW2 writers and used assets from the scrapped Utopia campaign.

Jumping didn't matter in WoW at all. In GW1 you could dodge and it mattered, true skill-based gameplay. None of that macro single button spam rotation.

It was stated before

No it's in the prophecies manual. The gods gave humanity magic and they stomped the charr.
