Is there snow on your peak or a forest?
Oh no, you're pretty old, right? You've got to beware of deforesting!
Who will deforest me ?

GW2 is terrible.

If you bought in to the hype and have unreasonable expectations, sure.  ;D

It's pretty decent, imo.

Please, he's only attacking adventurers, so in their best interests, to dissuade them from wanting to go near MT. Havok, we just need to shoot them all in the knee with an arrow.

Its for their own good you know.

I played the original Guild Wars since it was alpha... I had PvP accounts at ranks 11, 10, and five rank 9's (I liked the tiger, thought the phoenix looked stupid -- had I known there'd be a dragon eventually I would have just gotten to r15 instead)... I wasn't just a PvPer either, I also had just about every 15k armor & FoW on every class in the game, except Dervish, Paragon, Ritualist, and Assassin... I didn't much care for those first 3 classes, and I just didn't like the FoW available for the Assassin... I also had all kinds of rare weapons... crystalines, ethereal, tormented, blah blah blah... I was also in or leader of a top 10 PvP guild my entire time on GW, at some points even top 5, top 3, or #1.

I brought my entire top 10 GvG guild over to GW2, bringing the band back together and such... Shit, I have so many crazy rare names... even the guild name is an extremely popular one word guild name that even I'm amazed I managed to snag, but I was pretty fast.

Long story short? The PvE is subpar and grindy. You can't just do the story, you have to grind out every single area before you can continue with your main quest. Not only that, but there aren't even real quests... it's just dynamic event bullshit that you have to run around like a chicken with your head cut off trying to find. Then there's the retardation that you can be 2 levels above the mobs you're fighting and then you level up and suddenly it downlevels you to 4 levels below and you get stomped.

Of course, the PvP story is even worse because the PvP in GW2 is a total joke. Absolute garbage. Out of my entire guild that I brought over to GW2, I don't think any of us play the game anymore... Whenever I log in once every few months my guild list is just offline for weeks and months, and there were a lot of us... I got the best original GW PvPers from multiple top 10 guilds.

The game sucks. If you have any idea what Guild Wars is then you know it sucks. If all you've ever played is WoW and that's what you go in expecting then it's average, at best.

The controls are clunky and practically carpel tunnel waiting to happen. They should have gotten a better active combat system like TERA, or Vindictus, but instead it falls absolutely short. What's more, everything that made the original GW good was cut out of GW2 in favor of the casual players. It was so dumbed down that it made the game suck. You don't even get skills anymore... the original GW was like MTG with so many builds and secondary professions and great (or terrible) combinations you could have in groups... and in GW2 it's just utter crap. Your weapon is your skills, and their attempt at breaking the paradigm of tank/mid/healer just completely fucked everything even worse.

I could go on for days about how shitty the game is but I'm tired of typing and I have better shit to do. Take it from me though, the game is awful.

To its credit however, it is B2P (as GW has always been), which is how games should be.

I'll say this about GW2 - I liked it.  I also came from GW1 expected that and was somewhat disappointed it wasn't more of the same.  GW1 was incredibly unique and I loved every moment of it.  There were so many different ways to play the game and goals to achieve and GW2 lacked a lot of that.

I'd say GW2 was a lot more casual and like Tiffanys said, it was grindy.  It wasn't a perfect game but it was a good mmo to play through once or twice with different characters imo.  It just wasn't one that you could sink in hundreds of hours over and over doing the same stuff over and over like other typical mmos.

Also, I wish a good publisher would handle vindictus.  Nexon ruins that game so hard and is the sole reason I don't play it anymore.  Loved every minute of my hammer Fiona in that game though.  Great combat - marred by terrible servers and constant random maintenance.

I actually liked guild Wars 2 and GW1.

However i was disappointed on so many trivial things it's silly.
Story, or should I say, personal story, because depending on your class and initial settings your story will be somewhat different, but not by much, is decent to a point. A point where once it happens, you wish it didn't.

Instances are something to ................sta y away from.
Every enemy in the instance has the possibility to literally kick you out of the room like 100 meters! away, initially it was fixed from one hit killing you, then it was 50 meter knock back, and now it's either knockback around 20 meters for some reason, and then it's knockdown.

You can literally take the role of Tank/DPS/Healer with I think every class. Depending on weapon equipped and sub weapon (or shield/focus/dagger) your skills will change. I actually liked that part of the game but the amount of skills is really lacking.

Your stats and your gear focus is what it's at actually.
You can gear yourself with tanking gear, healing gear or dpsing gear, the stats for periodic damage dealt is very important to DPS's initially but in reality Tanks also need it high. If you have a HoT healing spell you can also use that stat for it, I think Only elementaler and ranger have such healing skills actually.

As for instancing again, there are 3 modes.
Story Mode (easy)
NEVER SOLO IT, GATHER A FULL PARTY!!!!

Normal mode (Medium)
As above, and better be level capped, and have best gear you can craft for yourself. Socketed with best possible shit you can buy on auction house.

Hard mode (Insane)
You will die ... a lot ... more than you can cry.

I never really got into GW1/2.

Then again, the last MMO I REALLY got into was the original Everquest, maybe a bit of EQ2.

Plus SMT: Imagine Online.

The game sucks. If you have any idea what Guild Wars is then you know it sucks. If all you've ever played is WoW and that's what you go in expecting then it's average, at best.

I played the first one and enjoyed it greatly. I also enjoyed the second one. It never really felt grindy to me because I just ran around, minding my own business and doing the occasional event that I came across. Powerleveling was never my thing.

Oh, and the PvE in GW1 was definitely far worse than in GW2. It required plenty more grinding, but at least vanquishing felt satisfying.

And on a final note, I've got to agree with the skill system: It's been dumbed down signifficantly. I liked my MTG-like build making.  :(
