Re: Guild Wars 2

I didn't play GW for long (had installation issues and went back to XI) but I never ever encountered any of that either.

Re: Guild Wars 2

I didn't care for the first Guild Wars so I doubt I'll be playing this one, unless they changed it to the point that I can't recognize anything from the first in this one. What was annoying was being on a server overcrowded with 10 year old Koreans and Chinese players whose only form of entertainment is to sit around near the entrances of any city/town and blast /say /shout with toilet humor, stale "gay porn" jokes and trying to flirt with obviously-trying-too-hard-to-be-a-girl players.

When did you play? I played since it came out, until a few months ago, I never had that issue. The only problem with GW1, was that there was literally no end game to it.

Oops, I thought I had included the Necro video in my post.

It's fixed now.

Necromancer | Guild Wars 2

Here is the necromancer skills...

Also... They have yet to release 4 professions.

Re: Guild Wars 2

It's gonna be tough deciding whether to play this game, DCUO or TOR with my limited game time.

Though the current ranking is [GW2 > DCUO > TOR] mainly because BioWare isn't releasing many details about TOR.

Re: Guild Wars 2

I've been planning on getting the game since I heard about it. I like how its Dynamic quest system instead of talk to a NPC get a wall of text and go do something they are too lazy to do themselves.

Re: Guild Wars 2

I'll probably see you there then.

Re: Guild Wars 2

Yep, I may be switching to GW2 when its released.

Re: Guild Wars 2

If they added Japanese voices and the gameplay turned out to be as solid in practice as it looks on the countless videos then I'd join GW2 and never look back.

But even without the japanese voices this game currently ranks first on my MMOG wishlist.

Re: Guild Wars 2

I read the manifesto.

Sounded like something akin to digging your own grave. What with the prideful "we're not going to charge monthly fees, we're going to be different."

Yeah, good luck generating content, moderating the servers and maintenance without monthly fees.

If they expect this to work, they're going to have to bring out those expansions more frequently than the average MMO, but something tells me a microtransaction system - the kiss of death - will come sooner than later. They'll have to swallow that pride at some point, calling it now.

It's called Micro Transaction. It's a way that Riot Games have been successful with League of Legends. So, yes, no subscription fees, but they'll still get money flowing in one way or another.

There's also talk of streaming ads through the player's game client and possibly even product placement within the game world. Welcome to the brave new world of FREE INTERNET GAMING.
