If the logic a lot of GW2 haters here express was applied to WoW back in the day, WoW would have gone F2P in a few months.

I guess some people just don't get it.

the hype doesnt even come close to what GW2 is and will be. underhyped much. its god.

I never bought  the hype so i got what i expected. Never felt i am playing something godly or genre changing MMO (like many fans would want you to believe) but it is a nice edition to my MMO collection.

Waiting to see what Blizzard has to offer in Titan.

Other people's ideas, as is Blizzard tradition.

Wouldn't be suprised but it is still a wait and see.

I don't care and never cared about hype.I pre purchased it,played the game and loved it and don't care about what haters think about the game.

It's not even finished and it is still the best MMO I've ever played. Hands down, by a large enough margin that I feel comfortable saying it already.

And for the ten thousandth time, it is not hype when it is players talking about how great it is. It is hype when a company tries to sell you on it by playing it up on ads and media sites. When Blizzard runs TV spots with Chuck Norris, that's hype (yes, even though the game has been out for a good while now). When Bioware runs big-budget CGI ads for a game, that's hype (especially so because the cinematic has absolutely nothing to do with how the game will be at all). When IGN or G4 or MMORPG or whatever runs big interviews with the reps or the devs and they talk about how awesome their own game is, that's hype.

When thousands and thousands of people who have played it say it is amazing, that is not hype. That is word-of-mouth excitement. They are not even close to the same thing.

I am a regular person who has played many MMOs over many years, and I am saying it is easily the best MMO I've ever had my hands on. This isn't hype. This is a guy being super excited for a game.

I was expecting too much this weekend. I came in expecting a game with ground-breaking new PvE concepts with the dynamic events. I was expecting PvP that offered strategy and thinking, instead I got PvP that involved rolling your face on the keyboard and still killing people.

I guess new MMO players enjoy this style of combat. The thoughtless button-mashing where no matter what skill you mash in PvE it works. I heard people say the game was difficult but how can a game be difficult when the skill you use at the start of the game is just as viable 20 hours into the game?

 

I'll be playing because the PvP has potential, but the combat system in this game is awful. Anyone who likes it really needs to break it down and look at it. But to be completely honest, if this game were pay to play, I'd be skipping it the same as I am skipping TERA. At least TERA had an innovative combat system...

I'd love to see a poll on what people thought of the first beta weekend.

 

 

 

 

 

Sadly what you want is an arena game; Large world developments with the real MMORPG elements involve developed inherent world abilities. Gained by players in in game play and charachter development.

Your twitch skills have no place with respect to developed large fantasy worlds. All you need for that is a small mapped out area where you can stalk your prey and show off your leet skills.

As for expectations well what a fool you are ; their are only so many ways you can kill or gain experience.

(I need to stop reading these forumns but cannot because of the amusement value; False Expectation causes ulcers don't buy into it just enjoy what developers have developed or go elsewhere)

I would also suggest you set up a company and give your products away for nothing; "People who wish to get something for nothing will get nothing"
