I love you.
Don't know if trolling, or didn't watch Manifesto.
less than a minute in, they've already proven several things are true:
- Everything you loved about GW1 in a persistent world with more active combat, seen in the demos already.
- personalized, branching storyline, also seen in the demos.
- New events system - oh hey, I saw them in the demos too! Wow!
And...
- No monthly fees - backed that up, naturally. It's GW.
- Demos have already proven there are no static quests as explained in the Manifesto.
- Players themselves, NOT NPCs, cause chains of events that alter anyone's storyline who has participated in them.
- Ree claims they've built a game for the player. I'd say that's backed up pretty solidly. Who else do you build a game for? Pets?
Stop trolling and/or being wrong. Kthx.
Rofl, I also noticed that.
The centaurs don't set things on fire though, they run past buildings and they are magically burning...
Everything I loved? Isn't that more opinion based than fact based?
Didn't they bash the whole quest system and say their game wouldn't have that quest system?
Didn't I play the demo and see exclamation points, and event notifications that were just like quest helpers?
I mean I understand that there will be blind faith for any up and coming mmo by the less experienced players, but come on. It was just like playing rift when i demo'd gw2, in that it tries so hard to claim it isn't a wow clone, and then just does the exact same things wow does, but labels it differently.
And btw, wow has scripted events that function the same way as the dynamic events do in the demo. GG
Didn't they say I wouldn't be collecting wolf tails or whatever anymore? Wasn't I instead collecting harpy glands or whatever?
That's the personal storyline, not the dynamic events. So no, you didn't see quests. Also there were absolutely no indications in one of the previous builds in the game, but when Arenanet brought in testers, the players felt lost and didn't know what to do. So they included the scout system and those guys to guide you around if so you wish.
Welcome back Robert! Glad to see our most hated troll is picking right up where he left off! Please leave the forum! It's been beutifully quiet since you've been quiet!
1) You most certainly did not see exclamation points, because there aren't any.
2) Yes, they did bash the whole quest system, which isn't in the game. Where in the demo did you have to go up to someone, receive a task, execute that task and return to the quest giver for a reward (or travel to someone else to receive the reward)? Or did someone you did NOT have to talk to indicate that something was happening "over there" which you could choose or choose NOT to participate in, and leave at any point and be rewarded for whatever participation you did contribute?
Edit: 3) Didn't they say I wouldn't be collecting wolf tails or whatever anymore? Wasn't I instead collecting harpy glands or whatever?
No, no they didn't. Think about what you are saying for a moment. You are essentially suggesting that because there are "things to do," for which you are rewarded, it doesn't matter HOW the task is delivered or HOW it is rewarded or WHAT the task is, it's a quest. Well, congratulations, you have described everything ever.
Nope, I saw exclamation points in a dynamic event... i pretty much was sent to gather harpy glands...
See this is why some of you fans are silly. I can say with 100% certainty there were EXCLAMATION marks in the demo. If you claim there aren't you either haven't played it at all, or are blind.
Unfortunately you spread this kind of misinformation with confidence, but you will notice people like flawsgi won't correct this type of "misinformation" because it looks to prop the game up on a pedestal.
So what is the best MMO to next come out for you?

NOOOOO, don't tell him to leave. He trolls up something fierce when he posts about GW2. It is on an epic scale and we need him for his unbiased reasoning of the game.
BOOYAKA!
Becayse they all casted a spell in same time,i think even in world of warcraft when there was 50 people on screen spamming its was lagging too and i remember in Rift lagging when there was over 50 player on a Rift, and i was on max setting with a well good pc I7 quad 12 MB 1600 mhz with a 570gtx so... ya
and i hear somewhere that the dev will look into the spell animation and reduice it or make a way to lower it in ur graphic option,
so its wont cause any lag,
and if ur talk about the end of the demo where everyones were standing on a hill before its shut down (http://youtu.be/wkRdSy0KkUE) i think its pretty normal and there was more then 50 people here,
~The only opinion that matters is your own.Everything else is just advice,~
The NPCs with the green stars are those from the personal storyline. Yes, you can go and speak to a guy if so you desire. But no, you can just go and collect your harpy glands without doing it. Congratulations, you just lost 30 seconds of your life talking to a guy in a game, that you didn't have to talk to. :P
You can say it is "normal" but for a game that claims it will have epic large scale pvp, when they lag with 50 people in pve, you know that simply isn't going to be possible.
The personal storyline is conducted in a personal instance. I am talking about persistent world exclamation marks for quests that you can get during dynamic events. Please don't spread misinformation.
I played the demo for THREE HOURS and participated in several personal story events, dynamic events, and random heart filling activities. No exclamation points. It is a STARBURST. Seriously, if you want to argue semantics, get them right.
The game is not even out yett , iam pretty sure they are looking into this,
~The only opinion that matters is your own.Everything else is just advice,~
Yeah, I mean it's totally obvious that two years before release, the amount of lag they may or may not have on a trans-atlantic internet connection is a completely accurate indication of the finished product.
No, wait. The other thing.
They can look into it all they want, but so far they've proven that with 50 people spamming spells their game lags awfully. They have not proven their game can sustain large scale pvp. Thus, people believing it will sustain large scale pvp are not looking at the evidence, and are instead giving into their biases.
Sounds like a lot of excuses that aren't actually based in fact. Was windows updating as well? Did they just happen to have a rogue network card that wasn't handling packets properly? Was it all a secret test to see which fans would notice lag and which others would just happily preorder?
Fact: The game lagged hard with 50 people spamming spells in a smaller area.
Fact: They have not proven they can have large scale pvp fights (hundreds of people) without lag.
If you're talking about the starting area, this is a part of the tutorial and your personal storyline and is instanced from the rest of the world (although you see other players as well). If you're talking about another part of the game, then please find me a link, since I must have missed it somewhere.
Anyway, you're just making up new and new arguments. I (and others) have already explained how many of those things work and what parts you misunderstood, so you just come up with other reasons to dislike a game. Don't worry, you don't need a reason to not like a game. I know there are plenty that I don't. So don't worry, we'll keep you occupied for as long as you're bored.
And this proves another point, you didn't account for the fact that you are not all-knowing about gw2, you just blatantly assumed that X was because of Y, instead of realizing that X is because they don't actually deliver on the claims they made in their manifesto.
I point out their tripwire scripting, and people just blatantly ignore it and talk about catapults. They don't actually have any argument against centaurs running past a certain point and it triggering a script for a bridge to blow up into block like shapes.
Everyone who follows information and playing demo's from GW2 knows by now that there are no traditional quests in GW2. Those NPCs with markers above their head dont have quests for you to put in your questjournal. They added those because some players couldnt play without directions. Those NPCs dont have quests or rewards, they merely point you to some DE's. You know that they dont give out quests. But still you need to spin it in a way so you can argue about it anyway.
You are trolling, not because you are in favour or against GW2, but because you only enter threads for the sake of argueing. I even wonder if you even have an opinion about GW2. You only seem to be interested in argueing about blind fanboys spreading misinformation.
He's not just a troll, he's a troll from the future who has played the laggy PVP in the finished product. Sorry for doubting you, Robert. I'm now going to buy WoW: Space Adventures instead.
EDIT: Sorry, is it still called SWTOR in the future?
