Originally posted by DavisFlight On the contrary, they should expand on it. If you can't have one vast world for everyone (either because it'll be barren or the opposite, overpopulated), best server design so far imo is the TSW design. The overfilled zones design is just one step behind the TSW design. They even have some universal systems in place, like the trade/mail/AH system and the whispers system. All they need to do is to allow ports to different servers (strictly in PvE) so you can play with your friends, wherever they may be.
Having multiple copies of a certain zone (as well as having multiple servers with copies of the same world) is not the same as converting the game into a lobby game. WoW moved a lot towards that direction and lost its appeal to me. GW2 doesn't seem to have that problem, maybe because I avoid the dungeons, due to their bad and unfitting to the rest of the game design. |

Its better to be quiet and perceived as stupid, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. |

Good to hear of new change I hope GW2 does well. With that said I want to warn anyone else before they waste money buying it, if you are like me in that you like MMO's like EQ, or even EQ2 you will probably not like this game.
It is about giving everthing to you, there is almost nothing really earned and it tries to be less of a themepark but IMO it seems even more so than games like WOW. The quest hubs are designed by" hearts" instead which the only thing it seems to do different is elimanate a overall story or reason to do anything other than fill up a progress bar. There is a personal story every few levels but that is about it. This game isn't very social unless you acitvely search for it, or are in a very social guild because there is almost no reason to group, and there isn't much chatter on the map chats even though the game is packed with people. To me it seems like a single player RPG Lite where there is only a main story and lots of grinding in between. Also there is no world pvp just a type of BG's and a Giant BG. This is all my opinion but I was dissapointed and didn't want anyone who is like me to waste the $$ on it. I guess I am going back to Eq2.
On the plus side for those who like a more action oriented gameplay style, with no pure trinity system, have a good guild or dont care much for social aspects or alot of story then this might be for you. Good graphics, fun combat (even though it feels like this could be for a console with limited combat options could be mapped to a controller) and no major gear grind, in fact most of what you need will eventually pretty much fall in your lap as long as you keep playing, then you will probably love the game. Best thing about this game IMO is the combat while I don't like the limited choices (you can switch your skills outside of battle but in battle you have a small bar of abilites) the combat was pretty fun, the RPG and MMO just didnt feel like they were really there for me. So good luck to those who enjoy this game, and for others who are like me you probably shouldnt spend the 60 bucks. |

That's impressive. The price of B2P GW2, just gets better and better: Definitely deserves to be successful.

ANet is starting to hype me again.. argh: CJ wrote on the forums: There is more than just Halloween coming in October…What those things are? You'll just have to wait and see, keep an eye on our website and blog for more information in the coming weeks. And they said their "mysterious teams" are working on something in November too. Now I can't waaaait to see what's this all about. |

Every big mmorpg has various teams... and anet has promised things before, and fell short big time. If their team released a patch that gave everyone a month of content tomorrow, than the total game would still only have 1 month and 3 days worth of content. |

Originally posted by AwDiddums Really? I was doing Sparkfly Fen map a few days ago that had quiet a few bugged sps and even a vista point. A day or two later they released a patch that fixed these same sps and vista thereby allowing me to complete the map. Then again, maybe it is simply the case of good timing :P. With the game being of this scale, I'd still say the live response team are doing a good job. Just want GW2. |

I'm not even close to completing the current content but am excited that the world will continue to expand and change. GW2 is the only game I have played that has fun wherever you go, no matter what your level is. The journey really is the best of the game.

WoW does definetly have more content than GW2, so do most MMOs that have been out a while. The longer you are out the more content you have. Also for those who like running more in depth quests/having lots of fun and interesting dungeons to run, GW2 is lacking.
As for the grind, yes WoW definetly has a grind, but so does GW2 and so does every other MMO out there. WoW has more than GW2 because it often requires you to run the same dungeon over and over for a bunch of random drops to complete a set. GW2 has you run many things over and over to grind up to buy the pieces you need. |

Originally posted by SnarlingWolf Mostly agree except for: Also for those who like running more in depth quests/having lots of fun and interesting dungeons to run, GW2 is lacking. Some people prefer raids to smaller dungeon fights however I cannot honestly believe that anyone who has played both games cannot say that the quests in WoW have more depth than in GW2. All of WoW is all kill 10 of this get 10 of that which is fine because the game is not about questing where as GW2 is all about story and events. I also have to say that yes if you include all 3 expansions WoW has more content. But there is more content in GW2 than in vanilla WoW so think about the future of GW2 in those terms. |

Originally posted by tixylix It has a Huge world and its only instanced for your Personal Story and the Dungeons.No different than any other game.Load times for zones is only a few seconds.Not unrealistic for an MMO.

Originally posted by Xiaoki Pretty stupid of you to expect everything to be to your liking after only a month of release.Programming and bug hunting isnt an overnight endeavor.Love how people who havent the foggiest idea of what they are talking about can criticise a company thats doing a great job so far.If its not to your liking go play something else and then come back in a few montsh and see where its at. |
