I honestly didn't think I would like it as much as I'm liking it.

Overall so far has exceeded my very high expectations... Minor annoyances but overall more than lived up and exceeded what I was expecting
I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg |

Game is what I expected for the most part. A bit disappointed with the dungeons but on the other hand I'm enjoying WvW a lot more than I thought I would. So pretty much evens out. 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. |

I'm still playing it every night since day 1 of early access, which is a fairly good indicator to me that its holding my interest. With SWTOR, after the first week and a half I started to lose interest and forgot to log in after almost 3 weeks. My biggest problem with GW2 is that there are so many fun characters to play I have run out of slots :( "When people don't know much about something, they tend to fill in the blanks the way they want them to be filled in. They are almost always disappointed." - Will Wright |

Since leaving WOW in late 2007 I've been dissappointed with every release untill GW2 .....Swtor lasted about 2 months ...Tera lasted 2 beta's and TSW was good for about 2 weeks ...if it wasn't for GW2 I'd have no mmo to play

DE's disappointed me. Especially some of the big badass looking ones from the trailers. The Shatterer has to be the most underwhelming boss for how awesome he looks. sPvP is terrible shape right now in my opinion. So far the only redeeming feature is WvW, which is hampered by queue times. |

I'm waiting out the first month before I jump in. Right now, its very difficult to get a true read of how things are going. One one side, you have the rabid fanbois who will say that it is beyond their expectations each and every time, and on the other you have the haters who are just passing through to simply check it out for a month (or less). I figure after the launch craze has calmed down and people mellow into the game, sometime in October you'll get a more accurate poll.

It has far exceeded my expectations.

Originally posted by Metentso Still not out of the "Honey Moon Period" which is on average 3months. After that we'll see, but so far every single one of my multi-game members of our guild have stopped playing save for me and 1 other (of 36).
Top complaints: -Games is too easy. -No point once you hit 80 other than repeating the same tired dungeons, or zone events that get boring to repeat over and over. -WvWvW is a massive zergfest, and player skill plays no part in victories. -Crafting is worthless when dropped is infinitely easier & better to obtain. -Can't make a profit on the market by crafting when you're in competition with EVERY single server (yea, the auction house is GAME WIDE). -Replayability is extremely low as after the first two toons you've seen it all and tired of it already. -Equipment doesn't change appearance until 30s, and then again in the 60s, then finally at the 80s unless you spam horribly easy dungeons for dungeon karma. Now, granted our guild is used to actually difficult games like FF11, Everquest, Lineage II, DAOC, EQ2 raids. So we're used to being challenged.
I think at the end of the day if you're not coming from WoW GW2 might just be too easy for you :(.
However, it was certainly worth the $60, but would have failed worse than SWTOR had it been sub-fee based. The Theory of Conservative Conservation of Ignorant Stupidity: |

Im not saying its a bad game but just cant get a char i really like. you know what im talking about once you start a class it grabs hold and you cant stop playing ive trired them all and no luck. closest thing is the ranger with shortbow and greatsword combo but still somethings misssing.

I like the fact that I have done DE and wvw succesfully all the way up to 80. Working on my second toon now.
This MMO by far has to be the best soloable MMO I've played in a long while...and that's saying something. I never joined a party (well...if you consider the wvw party I guess...) all the way up to and including level 80.
It's very refresing to solo all the way up and not have to rely on your buddy to your left or right and hope they do their job adequately.
8/10 in my book.
-1 for no dungeon finder setup (I do realize the dungeons probably got the best gear....) -1 for spvp. |

It's pretty much what I expected, which is sort of normal when you played all the betas. In some ways it even outdoes my expectations, most notably when it comes to exploration. |

Well you know most of those new games are massive hype at first and then a massive failure , the only thing that keeps their reputation up is the fact they sold so many copies to people who had hopes and dreams for something good

I had below expecations even though fanatic players hyped it up beyond belief. I didn't buy much into the hype, but more so from my friends wanting me to play GW2 with them. I knew going into this game it was just another high fantasy themepark mmo, I think the only bonus players will keep playing is because it has no monthly fee to worry about. On my front, the game is getting a little stale for me, but can be entertaining at times. GW2 just isn't really striking me on being different from the recent games like aion, rift, tera and even wow. I guess it depends on what you like to play and gw2 is newer than the rest now so it will be played more than others. |
