Definitely not. I did't like it much in beta but my friends did. So I preordered when it was posted for 35 bucks, in hopes of finding it better while playing with friends. I didn't last 2 weeks... |

Originally posted by BullseyeArc1 You and me must be lucky then, I stumbled on a total amount of 3 bugged missions since launch, but was easily fixed when I got an invite from someone from a different server, other than that I only got 1 disconnect and that was on the 2nd day of release. Some players are just having issues with certain missions that can't figure out and don't want to figure out and accuse it of being bugged. My three bugged missions were: Men in Black Vans, The Black House and Something Wicked. Everything to me went fine. |

Originally posted by P4YB4CK Those were the same for me, but that's 3 too many. I played several releases now where I didn't have even 1 bugged quest the entire game. That's the standard I'm used to. 3 sounds like a small number, but you spend many hours on those 3 quest total only to find you can't complete them. Two of those were fixed in a patch, but The Black House I had to petition and 2-3 hours later they just advanced me to the next tier, so I missed the puzzle part. Another quest, now that I remember, had a bugged spawn I had to report. It was a side mission in Savage Coast. But it's not just the bugged quests, it's those combined with the bugged gear manager, and getting stuck in terrain a lot. I understand that these problems are insignificant to some, but to me they're irksome. Someone might say, "then don't play a game at release," but to that I say, I've played somewhere around 5 releases now that didn't have any bugged quest or otherwise game breaking bugs. |

Originally posted by Zooce Not that I'm discounting your issues but can't say I ran into most of your problems. City of the Sun God was by far the worst zone for bugged quests. Others had their issues but most have been fixed. I'm actually surprised CoSG isn't your main focal point. Only prevalent issue I am aware of there is still an issue with the respawn on the ashes for Black House Besides the still occurring inexcusable fuckups being the chat channel issues and gear management
1. For god's sake mmo gamers, enough with the analogies. They're unnecessary and your comparisons are terrible, dissimilar, and illogical. 2. To posters feeling the need to state how f2p really isn't f2p: Players understand the concept. You aren't privy to some secret the rest are missing. You're embarrassing yourself. 3. Yes, Cpt. Obvious, we're not industry experts. Now run along and let the big people use the forums for their purpose. |

Here for the long haul.I'll play some GW2 when it come's out but pretty casually as this is where I'll mainly be.I see many people using GW2 as a reason to not sub to different game's.Once that game hit's I imagine many will resub to other games within a month.Happen's every time a new overhyped game come's out.A month in and reality sit's in. |

Originally posted by Wickedjelly They aren't his problems.. they are funcom's... and they are listed in patch notes, which means they aren't isolated to him. Add Exit Strategy not being able to be finished prior to last patch and the final part of Legion in Egypt 1 being unable to be completed. |

Two weeks ago I would of said yes.
As of this week, aint no way in hell. I will stay subbed untill the 28th of August but after that, this game goes the way of the Tortanic. In a word its got the same exact endgame as any other WoW/Rift/SWTOR clone. Horizontal Progression is jsut an absured way to do endgame, it creates elitist pricks, fosters cliques, creates have's and have not's and is jsut plain idiotic.

Originally posted by mindw0rk GW2 does not. It is a horizontal Progression endgame and to top it off, hundreds or thousands of hours of fun can be attained in a non-group style. Farming DE's, doing WvW, and completing world boss kills can all be accomplished without ever having to wait around. |

Originally posted by Zylaxx Wait.. GW2 has a horizontal progression endgame? When did they add that?
Last time I looked you hit 80 and have all your Weapon Skills, Slot Skills, Trait points, Elite abilities, etc. Where is the horizontal progression?
Not waiting around for DEs? I'm confused.. so you're going to just wander around to DEs (that you've already done because you can't get enough XP in one area to advance to the next without grinding them the first time) and then not have to wait for a DE you haven't done before?
DEs aren't random. They're scripted events that happen in a specific order. I've tested it and you can predict 100% the next dynamic event that's going to happen in a town.. at least the first 30 levels I saw of the game. Unless you fail.. then you have to wait 5-10 mins for the entire scenario to reset back to the beginning.
No waiting in WvWvW? When I tried to test it last weekend I was waiting for over 30 minutes in the queue before I logged out.
The story dungeons people mention are group content so I don't see solo-style there...?
Are you saying that grinding out cosmetic Legendary gear at level 80 is horizontal progression that is going to keep people interested... compared to the horizontal progression in TSW? |

TSW is Vertical Progression. [mod edit] |

Originally posted by Zylaxx LFMAO that was fast. What happened? 2 weeks ago you where defending this game like if it was the holy grail of the genre, now it's crap? The honeymoooooooooooon phase strikes again! Let's hope GW2 lasts you a bit longer, it would be sad to see you bash the game in 2 months when you get bored of doing the same dungeons over an over again for a different dye color, lol.

I would've subscribed to it. But I had a $120 cell phone bill and that was all the extra cash I had this month. |

Originally posted by Whyhate Don't worry, I expect the GW2 bashing will reach epic proportions after about 4-6 weeks. There's waaay too many people that are depending on that game to be "everything they ever wanted in an MMO". These people are all dreaming happy dreams of how the game WILL be. How the game actually is never matches that fantasy.

But that would not be accurate, only inflammatory. The scary part is one day the world will be run by adults who were never spanked as kids and got trophies just for participating. |

Will be staying at least one more month, wait and see what they do with the content update. Still really enjoying the game so might as well stick around for a while. Probably stick around until PS2 launches, then i'll have to see how much time i have to play TSW which will pretty much decide if i keep my sub going. GW2 can come and go for all i care, a handy syphon for all the internet asshats. |

I bought lifetime 4 days ago. :) I find this game definately worth it, I spent nearly 3 years in Aion paying for game which didn't compell me like TSW did - and I knew Aion wasn't my game in Nov 2009. Why the hell TSW would be worse than Aion? :D |
