Re: Guild Wars 2

I don't know, but it was an opening for me to take a cheap shot at Yyg... so i took it...

[cidbahamut]

Re: Guild Wars 2

Was Yyg even interested in this game?

Re: Guild Wars 2

Re: Guild Wars 2

I still need to place a pre-order, but yeah we need to all roll on the same server. For sure.

Re: Guild Wars 2

We should all get on the same server! I already ordered mine. I ordered it back in February when I thought it was coming out in March...

Oh I totally am.

On the flipside, I feel everyone is being excessively optimistic about this game to the point where it's difficult to take them seriously because they don't even acknowledge the possibility of there being flaws or hang-ups in what GW2 is attempting.

Hey, lookit that, something with which I agree 99%. My only hangup is with the word "everyone," as I prefer to think that myself (and quite possibly a handful of others) are being more cautiously optimistic, at most.

It's ambitious, sure, but I feel that you're being excessively pessimistic about it.

As far as metagaming is concerned, I think we can consider FFXI's "Red Mage melee" to be the worst-case scenario, where a significant contingent of X players want to play Z role instead of just Y (because Z is a cooler letter and all), but a noticeable portion of that contingent are just plain embarrassingly bad players who can't even spec for Z properly. There still will be players who push X's Z capacity to its limit and shake off any misconceptions about X to those around them, or at the very least enjoy playing as a Z X to its fullest in the company of their friends. Ultimately, it's a balance issue that has to be dealt with before it becomes that much of a playerbase issue.
