I just heard there is no raiding in this game? Is this true? I hope it's not true. I've been looking forward to this game for awhile, and if there is no raiding, I will deffinetly not play. (I have a feeling some fanbois will flame this thread to hell and back). |

Nope, theirs dynamic events and theirs 5 man dungeons and the WvWvW sieges have pve bosses in the keeps. No wow like raids. |

i thought they would put on a better show. eh, with the main antagonists doing a heel -> face turn i guess this is about what we can expect. even after all was laid bare, five year old information. |

It isnt a mmo like wow or everquest. Its really just a sign in and do an pvp battle type game like a shooter. |

Difficult PvE content will consist of 5-man dungeons and elite events. The later can lead to large open world bosses such as the Shatterer and Tequatl the Sunless which you can fight with up to a hundred players. Look them up on youtube. |

Originally posted by Ryker Stop trolling.. this is def a mmo. You have a personal story and tons of pve content... plus the wvwvw uses your pve char. The bgs/arenas is a pre fabricated seperate char you use just for e sports stuff. Completely different gear etc from your pve char like in gw 1.
Also ya "raids" would be the epic events that lead to dragons etc.. that take 100 people to kill. but their world bosses, not instanced raids. |

I plan on raiding the Shatterer with 99 others by my side lol. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ns-IIn-DG-c Try to argue this please. Oh also if you quote me and it's to argue my point, if I don't respond it means I haven't been corrected by you and/or I haven't seen it. Remember I don't mind admitting I am in the wrong. Take care :D |

Originally posted by Diovidius I can do that now in a game called Aion. This is BEYONDDDDDDDDDDDDD a Korean concept that lost favor in the US years and years ago when guilds would organize to just zerg the boss down.
Not sure how I feelabout the "no instanced raiding" thing. In my view it makes the end game weak and is proff that without a direct healing class challenging raid content is not possible. This game is also designed for a specific audience also. |

Originally posted by CujoSWAoA I agree raiding can be bad but it can be a challenge and fun for a very niche playerbase.
With that said no raids means 20-30% of the MMO Market wont even bother with the game. Maybe thats a good thing. I hope the game is fun because with no gear grind no pvp grind no raiding the only thing to make people keep playing is its fun and they better make it fun. |

Thats cool, you don't have to play. There are plenty of other raid based games out there for you to enjoy. Raiding, IMO, is an end game mechanic engaged in by a few, thats all. It has unreasonable barriers to play involved, and is at best tedious beyond belief after a short period. While a few enjoy the practise (though tolerate or feel compelled by OCDs might be more honest?) obviously a lot don't. GW2 will be for those that want to try something different then the same old model that we have seen before.

Originally posted by Puremallace well then stick to EVERY OTHER mmo out there that has endgame raiding as the only thing to do when your max level. sorry but this isn't the game for you and 19 of your closest elitist friends to sit in the major city waiting for your raid timer to clear.

Originally posted by Puremallace not true.. not having a healing class can make the content even more challenging.. gw2 has active dodging.. you can roll out of the way to dodge enemy attacks. Some abilities also require skill shots etc.. so the enemy can dodge of it as well. You have a self heal as a back up in case you suck at dodging. |

Originally posted by bartillo Good to hear that pvp and my pve character will be separate (no senseless pve nerfs for pvp reasons!).
I don't think he was trolling. It's going to be a super casual game, almost console like, in that you aren't going to be building a character for years. Just long in have a little bit of fun and log out. |
