Originally posted by Nikkita I have a lot of friends who didn't start their story until way late. Like at level 80. I also have a friend who last time I saw, was doing level 26 story at level 19. Haha, so super brave. :D Some people do story, some people don't. It's not mandatory! |

Originally posted by Nikkita ^^This^^ My friend and I are saving the Personal Stories to play together (since it auto-levels you for them) so all I've been doing is exploring. Ignore the Hearts. Ignore the map. Just pick a direction and go. I find the game to be a lot of fun that way. (Not saying that this will necessarily change your mind btw - it's not "the game for everyone" regardless of what Trolls and Haters accuse fans of saying) |

Originally posted by Meowhead I never said it is mandatory. I said i am 'assuming' that everyone does it at some point or the other and especially if you start at lower levels it does lead you by nose from one zone to another.

Why do people start threads with rhetorical questions. There are always people who don't like something and always people that do. If this game had the story elements of SWTOR mixed with the GamePlay and more alive world of GW2, what a perfect game it would be. For now, I just love it anyway lol. I love exploring, love the visuals, love joining in with others. The only thing I don't like is the cheesy Iphone App like quality personal story cutscenes.

There are many who enjoy this game. I, however, made it to lvl 9 before I uninstalled. Its just not my style of MMO. So, OP, yes I am right there with you.

You can't really expect much from a game like this that puts a limit on itself by making it level based. Games like Darkfall gave you the option of focusing on other things like magic for a month then you can decide to improve your melee combat skills or even your crafting skills.
Unless you have more options level games just fall into a pit of max level then grind, grind for gear to do Raids, or prepare till they bring out an expansion so you can do 10 more levels till max and rinse/repeat the stale formula of these games. Secret World tried it with gaining skill/action points though it would eventually fall into the same path once you managed to max out everything and wait for the next expansion to add in more weapons and then dungeoning/raiding to gain equipment. What the games need now is - be less soloable: It's fine in the early levels but let's go with the Everquest formula to make you group if you want to get somewhere (kiting one mob for almost an hour was not getting somewhere). Doing this also brought the lovely thing called socializing, where you actually (sometimes) talked with your group, laughed had a good time. Not the dang general chat, get rid of that and trade chat and just make it those nearby can hear you. - No levels - Ultima Online, Darkfall and a few others did it right by not doing this. Doing this allows you to group with anyone no matter how skilled you are and still have fun. Guild Wars 2 least allowed you to downlevel and play with your friends who just started without having to make a new character. -Put in lots of skills to keep you occupied on leveling, put in a progression meter with each. You will level/skill up a day so much then it starts to slowly spiral down to where it doesn't move up as much. After a period of rest it'll speed up again.

I'm not a fan, but at least I don't have to pay anything if I feel like playing after I grow tired of MoP or if I just feel like messing around.
But it will not be a mainstay mmo for me. I want to be Uncle Owen again. |

I very much disliked GW1.....and was pretty certain I wouldnt like GW 2 but my friends who were buying it talked me into it, what I can say is that its better than GW1 in fact by a bunch, however Ive already stopped playing it....something just.....isnt right, its got no hook to keep me interested.

Originally posted by kingotnw You just like to be hold by hands. That is to be expected after years of playing games that point you to the next step. Realize that GW2 is all about freedom of choice. You can even show middle finger to your area and your story and move to another race area from lvl 1. NOTHING stop you. GW2 is more mmo than any other game. Watch this, he explaining it quite well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ax-_06Acj8Y

Have to agree. I thought Vanguard was ok, I have nothing against that type of game, just hated its lack of polish. I like EVE too, btw - one of the best MMOs out there. Just like GW2 more. When I want a single-player story, I'll play a single-player game. When I play an MMO, I want a massively multiplayer world. |

Some games fit certain play styles. Some do not. Vanguard is a game that to me has nothing in common with GW2. So I can understand why a person who loved vanguard would not like GW2. [mod edit]

Well i've been wanting to play it,but the digital copy is sold out and i couldn't get it at my local wallmart(they were sold out as well)but with all these mixed reviews i think i might wait a little longer to get it.I'm sure it's a good game,but i am not sure i can let my mmo bias down to enjoy it,and for 60 dollars.I'm on the fence with this game,usally when everyone professes to love a certain game i run the other way(swtor) but with GW2 i'm not so sure.

I liked MMOs better when gamers didn't play them, and just geeks did. |

I wasn't a massive fan until I gave it some time. It really is an amazing, albeit themepark game. Do I prefer sandbox, style games? Yes...but that doesn't make GW2 any less impressive.
Playing: GW2 and DayZ

I don't mind being offered advice as to changing things up that would help me enjoy it more, it's cool if people offer sugestions. To the poster who said that I want my hand held. No, the direct opposite. To suggest that GW2 is a freedom and exploration game says to me you haven't played games other than theme parks in the first place.
In any case... I'm glad to see I'm not alone. I actually felt like I 'SHOULD' like this game given how positive people have been about it for the most part. It just hasn't worked out that way. |
