Some people thought GW2 immersion was a selling point? That's cute.

What he said.. I hate shit like this. People use stuff like these gloves to annoy the hell out of you in game.  I love immersive worlds.

Compared to the lifeless world of SWTOR, yes it is a selling point. The immersion isn't as good as it could be, but it is good for being a MMORPG, in my opinion.

This game was never serious. It was always trying to be a themepark MMO. I wouldn't be surprised if they add baby unicorns as followers.

What are you people talking about???  Destroy immersion.  This adds to immersion.  Haven't you people ever been drunk?  You know how many times I've pulled out boxing gloves when I've been hammered.   lol   And you do know you character can drink in GW2.    

It's awesome for immersion.  It's awesome for fun.   And you people need to lighten up.   Life can be fun you know.

 

Sheesh.

I'm sorry to hear you're so easily shaken.  Fortunately for me I'm not that fragile.  I'm having a great time with immersion in the game.  The Guild Wars universe isn't a medieval mirror.  It's a technologically advanced universe that combines high fantasy and science fiction.

I love the art, music, and ambience just like I did with the original.  My gripes with the game have nothing to do with the immersion.

Right, so you would not mind that if in the Bilbo upcoming movie, Gandalf put some Hip Hop clothes on and start to sing rap music?

Immersion matters in some media, like movies, dont understand why it would not in fantasy games.

How does wearing boxing gloves break immersion in a FANTASY WORLD?

Do you even know what Fantasy means?

You clearly don't. Just because somehting is labelled "Fantasy" doesn't mean you can insert anything you want into it and it fits...

Even a fantasy settting has lore and continuity to it; adding real-life objects most certainly breaks immersion.

I personally don't care about immersion, I play games to have fun, but it is easy to see why someone could be bothered by the gloves.

I know,i thought the same thing lol,it's like the sunglasses they sell.But with my little miss pony bow and these gloves plus a pair of sunglasses it ust get more pathetic imo.

I have a dragon character in TSW who wears long leather coat and sunglasses,he looks cool as fuck because it fits but this is just dumb.

Try putting my reply to you in Google translator for your original language because it's like you can't read English.  This isn't Middle-Earth or a medieval "mount and blade" simulation. There is a lot more technology than boxing gloves. It's sci-fi and high fantasy.   Do you get that or do you just like to make things up?

What part of sci-fi and high fantasy don't you two get?  Does it look stupid in TSW when "real world" people use magic while wearing their sunglasses (of course it does)?  On top of the tripple gouge for the price TSW kind of looks stupid in a real world setting that has people using magic while carrying a shotgun around the streets of a major city.  Talk about an immersion breaker.  It's just dumb.

Glad you agree with me that the gloves are dumb.

Looks kind of lame...

Shouldnt the developers be working on the endgame they will be selling you guys for $60?

But i guess silly costumes and animations in the cash shop is what will make them money in the meantime..

Really neat idea, with the "booms" and "wacks," I saw a person standing by the mist portal about two weeks ago.

 

Does it really belong in a high fantasy mmo? Another hard immersion break. It's the little things that start add up, like speaking to the spvp queue guy, and he gives you a sever list. What not call them battles? 

 

When ever any attachment to gw2's high fantasy world starts to accrue, you're hit with one of these. With out attachment which comes through immersion, longevity will suffer.

I'm sure you do :)

I'm kinda tempted by the Inventor Sunglasses.

Some people forget this is not a 100% medieval fantasy world like e.g. Lord of the Rings. You have strong steampunk and even cyberpunk elements into it (the way the asura interface with their golems is kinda Matrix-like or Avatar-like).

[mod edit]

Dude he payed his money, and plays the game as much if not more than you. As have I.  You have a problem with the problems we see, but that doesn't make it ok to attack people.
