I'll keep it brief.

 

My biggest and most immediate issue that I had with GW2 on release when I tried to play it was that I felt it lacked immersion.  Strangely, despite the polish and detail, I had rarely felt so un-immersed in a game.  I think it may have had something to do with world design, character models, UI... something that I can't quite place.

Anyways, I haven't played since launch.

 

I'm wondering if others have had a similar experience, and can help me understand why I feel so much less connected to this game than to its prequel, for example.

My god man i felt the same problem I can honestly say it was the lack of good dungeon play and immersion in that area to me playing dungeons more in Tera are a lot more fun to me and this is coming from a guy that played each one consecutively im spending more time having fun in tera than it seeming like work maybe its the lack of the trinity system curse we cant break free from? When i made a character in Tera and i made a baraka priest i was amazed at the healing mechanics and the gameplay i always felt gwt lacking just something i cant put my finger on and no this isnt tera fanboyism i bought gw2 and now playing tera since it went free and having a better experience

I was able to prone/crawl via Star Wars Galaxies and courch/move via EverQuest II.

Not many allow crouch or crawling, that's an FPS feature that (generally) has not seen much adaptation in mmo land.

That's exactly the type of content I wait from a MMORPG. Not only some stuff which locks people in small groups in dungeons, but open world content. And even better, it's the players who can set it up and start it.

My guild has over 100k influence saved, and we have all possibly purchasable guild augments so... I guess we're going to be able to start the good stuff immediately - and to those in smaller guilds, remember, you can make friends in bigger guilds and join their events too. It's logical that a guild with 50 active members gets stuff done faster than one with 10 or 5. Or recruit some people... friendly people are out there. The more social you are, the better guild rewards you get, and the faster you get them.

I also like how the guild rewards will remain server only. It encourages server fidelity and discourages server hopping.

Can't wait.

I for one am really excited for this game, one of the few I have high hopes for in the works; the others being Elder Scrolls Online, Final Fantasy XIV 2.0, and World of Darkness (if this ever sees the light of day XD).  I think there is too little information available on this game and when they do offer new information there isn't as much available in english (at least their facebook page where all their updates are in Korean with no English page available yet).

The biggest draw for me is the Lupus race to be honest, there are very few GOOD current mmorpg games that have a decent wolf race (World of Warcraft's Worgen race is probably the best of what is out there atm) and I really love the ability they shown to transform into a giant wolf (or giant cat for Pantera race).

Combat does look a little dated and more like a typical traditional mmorpg combat system, but without playing it I can't tell if this is good or bad...  the graphics do look amazing though, just hope the gameplay can come close to matching the visuals.

And Honestly this thread could have gone better if it didnt suffer from OP-replies-to-every-post-syndrome.  I blame FTP games!

Simply could not have said it better myself.

So you look at this game full of life and just automatically say eh item mall???? I think this game sets some pretty better morals than that.

I'm guessing English isn't your first language is it?

IT is my native tongue is there a problem with the language? or are you talking about periods capitals comas and punctuations?

so you fail to see the superior engine and the years it took to create this since 2009? O.o

About to get a new pc but before I do I wanted to get some ideas or suggestions, my budget is $5000 and don't say it's a waste of money : )

build from scrap and since money isnt an issue go with the higher cost intel and buy a rediculous case encrusted with jewells

We aren't even flaming each other haha. Well I'm not. Sorry if he really is getting upset.

And Rodingo, it's from a movie, one of my favorite Disney movies. And yes I still watch cartoons :D

Ahh a Disney fan!  Disney was a master of animation, but have you seen or heard of this before?  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWKo5veKjVU

It's almost like learning there isn't a Santa Claus.

Ah, irony, gotta love it.

To the OP: Obviously you're holding it wrong... err, playing it wrong.

I love irony but fail to see it previous statements?

Just move on Laly, you won't find any support here for valid concerns with this game. Pretty sure half of these people work with Anet

j/k of course.

How could he?  This isn't Anet's tech support forum.  If you mean moral support then you know as much as I do that their are plentyy of people here that don't like the game that will be happy to post here to remind us all, yet again.  Pretty sure half of them work for Blizzard

j/k of course

Cool, another guy calling everyone Blizzard fanboys because they don't like what he likes. This is new and different! Blizzard sucks a lot worse than Anet ever could if that's any consolation.

I think both are good and hold flaws but going on a  blind bashing party isnt the answer for a fix? you can bash a title then give suggestions to it jus tmove on

The OPs experience is extremely atypical.

The game is great for casuals who can adapt to the superb, but somewhat different, game design. It also has a lot for people who play a lot more than a casual schedule.

I was sure it's just me and thought it's my comp or corrupted game files. Then I looked GW2 forum and found tons of players with same issues, pages of posts.
Main problem is: game got bugs -> guys fix bugs -> game works, BUT: update/maintenance bring new content and seems like all BUGS back, so these days better not to get in! then all cycle will go on again till next update etc.

As I told I need to get why I was so hyped by this game, what I miss to enjoy there, what for I've payed 60$ instate to spend it for WoW sub, for example.

So advice as you don't like game - move out and don't post here, I can't accept sorry. You still free not to read my posts, though.
I don't HATE this game or I would never come back again even as casual.
It just more or less disappointing experience now, with big hope for all fixed in near future. This last hope push me to share my impressions and frustrations with you, guys, even these who don't want to listen but somehow continue to do it.

Also by posting my honest impressions I may be save someone from having similar disappointment as I have.
Unfortunately, I found only "pink glasses" posts when I hesitated to buy GW2. As game described as great, fun etc, I got it too (+ my hype for years). Seems it was a very wrong choice. I guess I would prefer to start (if ever I would do it) this game once it polished, established, figured out, found the way to progress etc.
I guess maybe after 1 year it will be done. I guess underdeveloped games are not for me, I need final product and not half-cooked, seems I do not appreciate post-release beta-creativity.

Sorry again if I heart someone feelings, but I guess we need to tell other part of truth to guys who hesitate to buy this game now.

Again, my opinion is only mines, and what I like other guy may not like and vice versa.

 

Go take an english siminar before continueing discussion in said language. thats priority number one because i still can barely get what your saying. Second I will say this again the game isnt broken beyond playability which you make it out to seem your here to bash a title and start a thread maybe get some spotlight. Just quit the game and never look back I am sure you would be doing the GW2 community a favor since it seems you bug them about your game problems also. ALSO I am looking at recent posts on GW2 and your in them giving ideas how about you do that than be so negative you really going to play it like that? "man this game sucks," "they should add random arenas blah blah blah" choose one or the other.

I remember looking at the suggestion forums for Guild Wars 2 during beta. It absolutely made me cringe, not only do 99% of all forum poster not known have to give proper feedback, but many of their suggestions are unoriginal experiences that have adopted from their previous gaming experiences. Examples of such posts would be  "Why can't warriors dual-wield 2 handers" or "Why can't Guardian use axes".

Personally I've found only 87 users that I would take seriously on the Guild Wars 2 forums, consider that number for a moment.

Then use those suggestions and not the drooling idiot's?
