Yes I have played the Gw2 beta for several times now over the past months, and yes I find it  a solid game, cred for devs but what I don't understand where all these hype coming from [mod edit]

Sure the game is not what you expect from a MMO there is no quest hub A+B+C ect, but the points is either if you klick a  ! npc or run into a area you still get a quest to kill shit, its basicly the same thing, true its fun to run around and suddenly  a event open up and players come to gether to fight off whatever it is, its still not something innovating its still the same thing that looking up a ! and do the quest.

I will not say much more than that but I will buy the game and see what's offer later when you can get to more max level.

i am the same, i keep telling myself its beta. i hate playing betas i just think whats the point i am going to lose my char working for nothing. 

i find myself loging in for 10 mins at a time all i can stand. i paid for the game, no sub cant be bad i am sure i will be playing for months and check it out whenever i feel like. right now though thats whats keeping me watching the game. all ready paid and no sub.

Some people will love it some wont.

Personally I am with you, I feel it dont lives upto the hype (but then what does these days?)

Its a fair game, technically its pretty sound but it does not add anything that makes me want to rush out and grab it. (Yes I played the BEWs) WvW was my big hope, as an old DAOC player I was hoping WvW would be enough to make me really want to buy the game, its not.

Fair play to those who are excited to buy and play the game and I hope they enjoy thier time in GW2's. I just wont be one of them.

Cool guys. Nothing wrong with not liking it. It won't please everyone. I don't think you can lump all those that do into fanboys though. We all have our reasons for enjoying the game. if you don't get (like) it, that's cool. no need for namecalling though.

Yeah I don't really get the hype either.  Sometimes I think I've played a different game to the one people praise so much on this site.

I went to my old room mates place to go retry the BW, he had LOTR online on instead  ............He got a refund and told me he just didn't like the feel.

I think it's the arcadey feel that puts me off.  Oh well, I hope a lot of people enjoy it.

Thats ok, we dont get you either, perhaps we will see you in the next great MMO.

This has got to be one of the most stress-free MMOs i have played in a long time, no looking for a healer or a tank, lots of exploration, excellent sound effects and beautiful artwork.

Ya, I like GW2.

Im an ANET fan but i agree

GW2 seems to have an arcade feel but im adapting to it

I have not been hyping GW2 on the forums tho, I recognize everyone has different tastes

You're not alone.  I don't get it either.   For me, it's almost akin to trying to understand the "WoW" addiction (not saying the games are alike)...I just don't see it.

As some of you says this not my kind of game, well that wasent my question from the start was it?

Was just asking where the hype coming from.

These posts make me laugh.

You don't like any game but UO. Why should I be surprised you don't like this one either?

You don't understand it. Many do. Thus, they promote the game as a solid title to their friends. This is what you call 'hype'.

There you go.

I think the OP is referring to the over-zealous nature of the promoting going on in these forums.

I see the strenghts and the weaknesses behind this game.

Combat : weakness ( I can see what they are trying to do with it, but  cooldowns kinda kill it)  5/10

Animations : Mediocre 6/10

Environment: Amazing... (have you seen Divinitys Reach? Holy ****) 8/10 Cities: 10/10

Voice Acting/Script: Weakness 4/10

Story: Weakness/Mediocre 6/10

PvP: decent but nothing to write home about 5/10

Sound: 6.5/10

Overall: 6-7/10 Because it is B2P and it does bring a lot to the table, but the only thing perfected was the environments

~~~~~~~~~~

I only rate it this way because I have played just about every sub based game out there and PvP was done better by DAoC, Story/Script/ Voice acting/ and sounds were done way better in TSW. Animations are nothing to write home about and should get improved if they dont plan to then meh.

Its just hard to see why everyone is up in arms about how amazing this game is. I really did enjoy the environments  though...When I entered the Human City Divinity's Reach my jaw about hit the floor, its actually a city... a huge city. Not some small bank/auction/crafting table area. No its an actual city. But that is all I saw that was just overwhelmingly good.

I really hate reading posts like this, makes me not want to play the game, hopefully aerowyn comments on this post and makes me feel hopeful that its a good game again lmao

Made sense to me. :) I think he is talking about word of mouth and how it has spread to his friends. Thus, the hype!
