The combat system isn't good. Too dam fiddly having to constantly use the right mouse button to turn yourself around. It breaks combat. Just plain annoying. Even the combat for each class gets tedious after awhile. For example firing a rifle being blown backwards is a good novelty but after a dozen or so times its irritating.

 

 

Breaks combat? You can run circles around mobs without ever breaking combat. Unless you use mouse to move forward during combat of course. Then you probably die all the time.

I think that the OP is annoyed by the combat difficulty and that prevents him from enjoying the rest of the game. Of course events will become tedious if you still can't fight well after some time.

My advice, learn to move using wasd keys otherwise you will never enjoy combat at higher lvl in GW2. Or a maybe controller? (never tried myself, Im used to wasd and mouse) Moving with just mouse will make you an easy target even for PVE mobs. And maybe try some different packs and weapons for your engineer if you are tired about that overcharged shot skill. It is actually a usefull skill to get rid of snares or move away from strong mobs.

Wait... you can move just with the mouse?

Is this sarcasm? I use only the mouse to move.

I thought you had to use WASD to move and the mouse to look... didnt think you could move with the mouse alone.

hold down both mouse buttons.. this is pretty standard with most MMOs

I think part of the problem is that the game doesn't feel very rewarding for the effort and this  is especially so with the PvP.

P.S.  In response to a post made earlier by Mannish, we aren't going to miss you or the game either.  I have moved on to something better where I don't have to deal with bitter and irritating people like you.

LOL, thanks Aerowyn :-)   I had to log on to try it to believe it.  Too awkward for me to even imagine it would work.

Actually you can turn much faster using the mouse than wasd. It is something you need to train your brain to do, but I like it much better in PvP. 

I pretty much agree with the OP but for me, its just the general direction that MMO's are taking... I strongly dislike the direction that all mmo's are seeming to go, its as if they are nickel and diming you to death and guild wars 2 is a perfect example of this.. sure there are no monthly subscriptions etc... but they fill your inventory up with a bunch of crap trying to get you to purchase keys etc..etc.. which essentially cost more to play.

Also my problem with guildwars two is the lack of abilities.. once you learn all the weapon skills you really don't have anything to look forward to through leveling up.. maybe a new zone or two but other than that its just kinda like whatever.

I haven't truly enjoyed an MMO since eq.. because everything that I loved about that game has been removed from all future games... everything is BOE or BOP has level ranges dying has no real penalty yet its still funny to see people cry about having to spend a few gold on repairs as if it was the end of the world...

They need to bring back some of the things I miss about playing early mmo's no boe , no bop, a real challenge.. make dying suck etc..etc.. sure these features aren't for everyone, but lets not attach the OP saying "MMO's" aren't for you when we were original mmo players and MMO's are completetly different today than they used to be..

I think MMO's need to go back to their roots, and stop implementing all the things world of warcraft did even though it has proven to be successful..  wow would have been successful no matter what they did just due to the huge amount of money they sunk into advertising.

didnt sound like he was saying turning with wasd just moving forward with the mouse.. think its pretty standard people use wasd for forward,backward, strafe left, strafe right and use mouse for turning

I gets terious, boring and TIRING!

Action combat and farming for your achievements and legendaries has got to be the worst thing ever.  Great for quick combat and PvP but for farming, horrible.  It makes me want to bot just to avoid getting carpel tunnel on my mouse hand.

Yeah except mmos are games you expect to play for years, not toss away like a single player game.

yea seems a common theme on all games here..the i played 100+ hours now I'm bored to death threads.. i have never played a game i didn't enjoy for more than maybe 5 hours tops.. if a game can't at least spark some interest in me in the first couple hours I just don't find it worth playing.. but if I get over 100 hours in any game I feel im getting my moneys worth.. i dont need to play a game for 1000+ hours for it to be a great game.

I play more than one game at a time. It helps to break up any "tedious and boring" stretches that can happen in any game. Right now I'm going between GW2, MoP, and Vanguard. 

I have learned that no game last for years, otherwise we wouldn't be on these forums trying to learn from one another.

If anyone honestly still believes this, after every over-hyped MMO release in the past ~5 years, then they are only fooling themselves.

I agree Aerowyn!

320 hours total for me! That comes out to just over a nickle an hour to play. The more I play the less it cost me per hour!  Pretty soon ArenaNet will owe me money! hehe
