It's something I hadn't heard or didn't imagine before hearing this.

It will still happen. People are close minded.

Yet.

I might trademark that on this site.

You need to make sure you have the "MWAHAHA" IMO. :P

What I don't understand is the last dungeon. I mean we are going to fight Zhaitan with 5 people? It's a dungeon right?

We've always known that Orr was a final zon with more challenging content. It's still the same as all zones only harder.

But honeslty, i never understood what endgame is anyway.

Same here. As far as I know endgame = some type of replay value or treadmill. 

Well now that it's confirmed to have to ability to gain skill points after lvl 80,(to use for various gear and stuff via mystic forge)  I guess it'll all work out.

Well as a GW player I kind of expected this to be the case. Especially when they announced the mystic forge and legendary weapons.

They didn't describe what was in the dungeon...just that it was the final goal to achieve in Orr.

Yeah, I wasn't a big fan of GW1 in general.

Was it a cool and interesting system?

Awesome.

Skill points instead of XP after level 80?

Careful now. You still gain XP after level 80 but when the XP bar fills up you gain 1 skill point instead of a new level.

With the level curve they have in place I expect that you'll gain skill points at a good rate after level 80.

Yeah, that's why it's weird to me. Quests, dungeons, pvp. The only difference is that now there's super awesome gear in the end. it's now magically endgame. I just don't get it.

Anyway, honestly, while this cool and all, i was actually expectin some kind of player driven/sandboxy type endgame for a sec. I alway knew Orr as better events than teh other zones but i don't view that as "endgame" since it's still just DE, only cooler. Which is fine all, but, oh well.

Well you used skill points to buy stuff in GW like skills ;P

It basically is just another currency if you want to look it at that way. You kept gaining experience after level cap, once you gain enough experience for another theoretical level, you gain a skill point and the experience bar reset.

In Guild Wars 1 the cap was at 20 and you could get there very quickly. After 20 everytime you got enough experience for a level (flat leveling after level 20) you got a skill point to learn new skills (or buy new consumables items)

For those who missed it. It's recorded.

Oh, I thought you meant that you could use skill points with the mystic forge to get weapons, or whatever they were talking about, in GW1. I understand how they are giving you skill points post 80.

I might just be confused too.

But it doesn't have housing yet.  Maybe we'll get to have that big pit in the middle of Divinity's Reach be a player housing area.  We all get to live in a giant dirt hole.

Which is why I like how they added the Mythic Forge, though I swear I didn't think they'd use it that way.

Well the general concept is the same if you get my meaning. That's why I expected it coming from GW.
