Originally posted by Coldices 1. All big games have hype, you don't play big games? 2. ok 3. that's 1/3 of the game 4. it's an old idea that worked and hadn't been implemented well since DAOC. What's your problem? 5. not really 6. how is it a PvE aimed games when 2/3 of the game are PvP oriented? "This creature softened my heart of stone.

Guild Wars2 has the word 'Guild Wars'. I certainly can understand if someone didn't like the original GW to think they don't want the sequel as well. Is it fair? Who cares. It is what it is.
I had fun with GW1 so I'm buying GW2 though. Wonder why there seems to be more haters on the internet? Read this by an actual marketing guy to find out why. |

Originally posted by Coldices Sounds like you never played DAoC. e-sport is great, they had that in GW1, no reason to turn their backs on it, [mod edit] |

Oh as for the dev teams excitement, watch the BioWare devs prior to SWTOR release, where they do the "Class vs. Class" discussions, each arguing why they love their class,etc. I should hope the devs like the game, they're making it.

Skyrim recieved FAR more industry hype then this game, which is mainly talked about by excited players that have seen the demo vids and read about the systems (which isn't 'hype' really in the way most mean it). Most of the people playing that game would agree that it met their expectations, and probably a lot would say it exceeded them. It DOES happen... it just dosen't usually happen with MMORPGs. GW2 could easily be the game that it does though. No way you say? I disagree. |

easy, only 10 skills + high cooldowns = boring classes |

Originally posted by Sideras E-sport is great, but that is what FPS games are for. I tend to play FPS games for my e-sport itch, and I play MMO's for the sense of building and growing my character and seeing him improve in PVP as my character improves. With an auto-scaling feature I probably will play GW2 kind of like I play my FPSers: play for a month or two until the instances get boring and then move on to the next FPSer. With no motivation to keep playing GW2 in terms of character development I'm not sure what will keep me coming back. The e-sport may be fun but I doubt it will be as good as an FPS in terms of player skill. It is still a tab target game for the most part... GW2 "built from the ground up with microtransactions in mind" |

Originally posted by Ishoa Fair enough. I think I just got that "vibe" because it was posted on these forums lol. As we all know on these forums if its not thier opinion its wrong. I think what I was trying to point out is there are plenty of reasons to not want to play GW2. Some reasonable some not. It took me a long time to get a buddy to even look at anything involving GW2. He absolutly hated GW1 so he assumed GW2 would be crap. We had been playing mmo's togeather since Asherons Call. After the press weekend though he did watch some of thoes video's and now he wont shut up about it lol. |

Originally posted by Vegetto This is my main reason for not wanting to play (yet). I've been through numerous betas and launches in MMOs and the absolute worst are the ones touted as the next big thing- not because of the game but the players. I'd much rather wait 2-3 months after launch once the biggest bugs are fixed and those players that buy the game completely because of hype leave. Always seems like a couple of months after release about half the population of lunatics and asshats go away. |

Originally posted by Kyleran Name calling? people calling guildwars an MMO and people thinking its the same or similar to guildwars is nothing short of being ignorant. Guildwars as a CORPG and a standalone product is actually very good and very successful and still has a strong playerbase. Not to everyones taste I admit, but WoW, Rift, Eve, and any other MMO you care to mention isnt to everyones taste. Critisise GW2 for what it is that is fair game, but shouldnt be compared to the original GW. People saying they dont like GW2 because they didnt like the original title just goes to show how much they bothered to look at the game features. Some people in other threads have said it looks like WoW, now you go and figure that one out.  My XIVPad: [video]http://xivpads.com?13754614[/video] |

Although, going on part trends, it would be sensible to treat religious hype with skepticism. For some bizarre reason, i couldn't get into Skyrim, i think i just miss the MMO features.

I think SWTOR followed this pattern perfectly. I think the solid reviews come after 2 months and the realistic population around 3 months (free month + 60 day Timecards). Of course, it's hard not to play from day 1, but i think i want to avoid games with the treadmill now anyway, so i don't mind waiting.

Yeah, I do get that Skyrim wasn't for everyone :) Just as GW2 won't be, which is fine. But for the first time in a long time I feel a themepark MMORPG dev gets it... that they have looked at the core issues and all the barriers to play and made moves to remove them. The only element I feel nervous about is the technical launch side of things... though even that they have taken steps to make a more pleseant experience with the overflow server mechanic it seems. We shall see :) |

Originally posted by Vegetto I definitely understand the urge to play as soon as the game is legitimately available, but the way I see it is the time I spend in game makes the memories I'll have of that game- good or bad- and if waiting a couple of months means a better chance at a better experience then I'm all for it. Of course, I also have multiple games I play (online and offline) so waiting a bit isn't that big a deal. On top of that, aside from some MMOs where you get credited with server first whatever (which means nothing to me) I haven't played one yet where I was seriously left behind or at a gamebreaking disadvantage because I didn't play from day one. |

It´s easy its a themepark mmorpg with loading screens not a true open world. It has no open world pvp and crafting is ass. If you like wow gw2 is probably the right way if you like sandbox games gw2 aint for you. |

Originally posted by sgel 1. Because of the hype, the personality of the fanboys of GW2 annoy me so much to the point I dont want to play the game. 2. - 3. 1/3 is a major part of a game. And bringin in E-sports will draw even MORE fps-crowd to the MMORPG genre and therefor making the genre even worse then it is now. 4. Because it will turn PvP to something like: Hey! that guy is red so he must be me enemy! KILL THE REDS. It will be PvP not because they really are your enemy but because the game forces you to make them your enemy...I dont want this in MMO's. In FPS its alright. Sorry its hard to explain this part but I hope you know what I'm getting at. Look at darkfall for example... 5. ? 6. They are hyping the dynamic events up so much that I had the impression that it is the main feature (PvE) maybe I'm wrong with that...
Anyway... I think GW2 will be a good GAME but not so much a good MMO. |

Originally posted by Otomox I'll take this over your typical Open Gank PvP and I doubt the WoW players that cherish the Holy Trinity and Endgame gear progression would enjoy it much either.
