There's no haterade. I'm simply replying. I don't hate GW2 but I'm sure as hell not going to get swept up into the hype created by the masses. Seeing as how I've been on the internet long enough to know the "masses" are comprised of idiots, I'll do my own research. As I've said before, if the game is as good as people say it is, it'll get my money.
"It also cycles every two weeks", meaning it's not persistent.
Player limits not finalized but each MAP will support up to 500 players. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/World_versus_World - So, no, 1200 people won't be in the same area at any one time. The max YOU will ever see is 499.
You realize that some people want death penalties, right? Just because you don't like them doesn't make them pointless timesinks. If we want to make generalizations, maybe since you don't want any penalties, you're a carebear?
Gearing, only until 80, huh? So at 80, you're magically given equal armor for all? Not in World vs World. Battlegrounds, yes, items are normalized, as I said. So just like any other MMO, to get the best gear, you'll need to craft, kill things, grind, etc. You really think ANet doesn't have an item progression plan past release? You think the game will just flourish once everyone has reached 80 and there's simply no more progression? Don't get me wrong, I love OWPvP and that would keep ME interested but to the rest of the players?
So, basically, you've pawned off your opinion as fact and haven't done any research on WvW.
I deal with people who talk out of their ass for a living: lawyers. But at least those lawyer have a modicum of insight into what they're talking about before they open their mouths.
You, sir, are a warm wind tunnel's worth of accuate information.
Um... I just posted a link to their official Wiki explaining the WvW numbers, as well as in the same paragraph, how there is no item normalization in WvW.
When you say you deal with lawyers, are you the defendant normally?
EDIT: Nevermind, your signature explains the ignorance.
Quiet, Breezy. Adults are trying to have a conversation.
All gear is normalized at level 80. It's normalized if you're level 2 and enter The Mists.
At the very least, get some of the facts correct before you engage in a debate.

Ooooh my lord.
Each map will support 500 players SPLIT between the 3 servers. There are FOUR maps, essentially, in their WvWvW. Therefore, each AREA (MAP) can only support 500 people SPLIT BETWEEN THE 3 SERVERS.
500 x 4 = 2000.
This means that you will NEVER, EVER see more than 500 people in ONE MAP. Therefore, if you are ONE of the players, you will NEVER see more than 499 people at ANY one time.

You know my thought is that's still 399 more people then you'll see running around in Tera in a week
at the end of the year, GW2 will receive BEST VALUE, MOST INNOVATIVE, BEST MMO, and probably even GOTY from gaming sites and magazines
but devs and their publishers will still follow SWTOR formula because BW/EA sold 1million++ copies on its first month compared to GW2's lower numbers because of gamers who decided to avoid "this game for the first 3-6 months due to unrealistic hype"
so we will have more WoW clones and SWTOR clones with their subscription-based models (then go F2P after 2years)in the next 5 years just because people decided to be stupid

You must be a rather weak minded person OP if you cannot simply ignore the hype of others and judge the game using your own opinion. It's really not hard.
I'm sorry but I have been tricked by this level of hype before and I will not be tricked again. With the (arguably) pay to win model, the incredibly simplistic combat, the unbalanced zerg fest that is WvWvW, etc....I just do not see what the fanatics are smoking.
I have high hopes for Guild Wars 2 but will not be playing until the unrealistic hype is crushed and the game is brought back down to earth.
Many have been tricked before, I got tricked into buying SWTOR CE before I was presented with any actual ingame footage all the way into release.
But for GW2, the Combat and the W v W is actually displayed without any speculation in Press Beta Videos and was explained extremely well. To you those are the Negatives, but to me They are actually the Plus for why I pre Purchased.
The only item that haven't been explained are the Cash Shops items, the mechanics are explained in detail but not whats included. but I find that since the Structured PVP and PVE system they have implemented is so different than other MMO, it will not affect me in the least. Therefore its an Non Issue to me.
Don't buy if you are skeptical, wait for the Weekend Beta reviews, they are available to all to see, NDA will be lifted.
Besides by the time you buy, you will still be paying the exact same price that I bought mine. The only benefits are that I have a few weeks or Months ahead of you.
I gotta add that TSW has Hype, SWTOR had Hype, all were Hypes with Speculations and Mystery. GW2 have more available information than any other MMO in development in my opinion.
Life is a Maze, so make sure you bring your GPS incase you get lost in it.
Unrealistic hype befalls every game before launch, so yeah, I'll be waiting on this one. I heard it was good, but I'll still wait. A bit tired of fantasy MMOs, so that's another reason why I'm waiting.
I make spreadsheets at work - I don't want to make them for the games I play.
I'am very skeptical about Gw2, so far not impressed with what i've seen. can't stand the fanboys bashing and trying to belittle every other MMO. their attitude is actually doing more bad than good. cause that gives a hint, of what to expect about the community this game will have , once it gets released.
so yes i will wait at least 1 or 2 weeks after the game gets released, to decide wether is worth buying it or not.
To be Honest, most people are already well informed on what GW2 will offer.
And in every Negative Thread, over 90% are trying to correct the OP.
And in all those 90% of the posts, they are supplying with actual information and links and quotes.
If there are still people that can not make their own informed decision based on whats already presented, then I don't know what else anyone can do.
Avoid the game, Pre-purchase the game, buy the game, don't buy the game, you as an informed and educated Gamer should be able to make that decision for yourself.
If you feel GW2 is all hype without any actual information, ask your fellow forum goers and we will direct you to the vast amount of information available.
If you feel they don't answer your questions, list them, so that during our Beta Weekend, we will see if we can find those answers for you.
You are not forced to discover the answers yourself, you have a vast number of gamers that will discover more than what the Press in Closed Beta can uncover.
Let us Help you by answering your questions, but make the decision yourself.
Because in the End its you that is playing the game, you have to enjoy it even if we do.
Life is a Maze, so make sure you bring your GPS incase you get lost in it.
I'm fine with people waiting a bit before purchasing the game. If you're going to wait, do so for intelligent/good reasons, not because of what other people are saying/doing. It's as if you're not buying the game right away just out of spite; more sad than funny. If people want to wait, that's cool, more time for me to get ahead. Blizzard/Bioware fanboys will probably never play GW2 (though they may secretly want to), just a fact of life.
I'am very skeptical about Gw2, so far not impressed with what i've seen. can't stand the fanboys bashing and trying to belittle every other MMO. their attitude is actually doing more bad than good. cause that gives a hint, of what to expect about the community this game will have , once it gets released.
so yes i will wait at least 1 or 2 weeks after the game gets released, to decide wether is worth buying it or not.
Why would you consider buying it if you're not impressed with what you've seen?
"Loading screens" are not "instances". Your personal efforts to troll any game will not, in fact, impact the success or failure of said game.

The part in red... thats well and good and exactly the stance you should be taking if you have any doubts.
Luckily, with the design of the game aimed at removing barriers to play for late comers Anet have made joining after launch extremely easy.
I actually do not want hype zerg impulse buyers to get this game at launch. I want people that know that this is for them and genuinelly are looking forward to it. Everyone else should take their time, see how it launches, see what it offers them personally, and buy it later (or not) if they so choose.
The first part though, the part in white, is a mystery to me. I see so many more negative posts with fans of other games bashing and belittling GW2 and ANet... and when the guys that actually like what they see respond even in a slightly positive way they are torn apart for being 'fanbois'. I honestly do not see the 'attitude' coming from the GW2 supporter side of things... I mostly see them trying to counter false info and whatever.
Can you provide links to posts where 'fanbois' have acted in the way you suggest? It might help me understand your atttitude here better.

because i no longer follow the masses like a sheep based on hype?, no more wasting money for 1 or 2 month of fun , anymore, been there, done that.
i will wait after the game gets released to decide wether buying is good or a bad idea. depends on what my friends tell me
the Dynamic events itself. is not enough of a reason for me, to rush and buy the game. since other MMO i've played had them. i also avoid F2P MMO like the plague, since it is a well known fact, they attract usually the worse people in it.
there are things i like about Gw2 nonetheless, such as the playable races, the character costumisation, and the underwater enviroments.

How do you follow a game then? If anything hype is a strong indication in how a game will turn out. If it wasnt for Hype I would of never found out how good games like Skyrim, DAoC or Asherons Call were. Sometimes hype can be a good thing but it is up to the person to take the hype they see and then do their own research. It sounds like you have done your research and still dont have an opinion on the game and to me that is a thousand times worse then any amount of hype because that shows A. Willfull ignorance or B. onery for onery sakes and IMO it takes a real idiot to distance themselve from something popular "just" because its popular.

You should definately wait to buy the game. No hurry, the game will be around for a while.

An outside perspective can show things that would have never been considered. A game will always look like a rose until the glasses are taken off. Getting opinions and discussing things are what real "grownups" do. Doing research and forming my own opinion is what I did when I was 20.

You're welcome to listen to obvious intentional focused negativity if you like. I prefer to listen to those that have actually played the game. 20, huh? Guess I'm just young at heart. I don't listen to just anyone at the age of 48. I've learned some discernment. Not everyone that played in the beta has had ALL favorable opinions. I listen to both. What I don't listen to is people who obviously don't know what they're talking about since they post misinformation.
Again...I don't give a rat's ass what you think of MY decision. You're not important in my world as someone I need approval from. If I have any questions...I'll ask my partner's opinion regarding my decisions, not yours. Kind of a no-brainer there, isn't it?
By the way, "real grownups" don't just listen to random people and take their opinions as gospel. But if that's what YOU think is "adult" to do...by all means, feel free.

Avoiding this game for the first 3-6 months? No need! The price won't change by then, no monthly fee. What's to lose.
Played - M59, EQOA, EQ, EQ2, PS, SWG[Favorite], DAoC, UO, RS, MXO, CoH/CoV, TR, FFXI, FoM, WoW, Eve, Rift, SWTOR, TSW.
Playing - PS2, AoW, GW2

so yes i will wait at least 1 or 2 weeks after the game gets released, to decide wether is worth buying it or not.
To be Honest, most people are already well informed on what GW2 will offer.
And in every Negative Thread, over 90% are trying to correct the OP.
And in all those 90% of the posts, they are supplying with actual information and links and quotes.
If there are still people that can not make their own informed decision based on whats already presented, then I don't know what else anyone can do.
Avoid the game, Pre-purchase the game, buy the game, don't buy the game, you as an informed and educated Gamer should be able to make that decision for yourself.
If you feel GW2 is all hype without any actual information, ask your fellow forum goers and we will direct you to the vast amount of information available.
If you feel they don't answer your questions, list them, so that during our Beta Weekend, we will see if we can find those answers for you.
You are not forced to discover the answers yourself, you have a vast number of gamers that will discover more than what the Press in Closed Beta can uncover.
Let us Help you by answering your questions, but make the decision yourself.
Because in the End its you that is playing the game, you have to enjoy it even if we do.
Life is a Maze, so make sure you bring your GPS incase you get lost in it.
Why would you consider buying it if you're not impressed with what you've seen?
"Loading screens" are not "instances".
Your personal efforts to troll any game will not, in fact, impact the success or failure of said game.
The part in red... thats well and good and exactly the stance you should be taking if you have any doubts.
Luckily, with the design of the game aimed at removing barriers to play for late comers Anet have made joining after launch extremely easy.
I actually do not want hype zerg impulse buyers to get this game at launch. I want people that know that this is for them and genuinelly are looking forward to it. Everyone else should take their time, see how it launches, see what it offers them personally, and buy it later (or not) if they so choose.
The first part though, the part in white, is a mystery to me. I see so many more negative posts with fans of other games bashing and belittling GW2 and ANet... and when the guys that actually like what they see respond even in a slightly positive way they are torn apart for being 'fanbois'. I honestly do not see the 'attitude' coming from the GW2 supporter side of things... I mostly see them trying to counter false info and whatever.
Can you provide links to posts where 'fanbois' have acted in the way you suggest? It might help me understand your atttitude here better.
because i no longer follow the masses like a sheep based on hype?, no more wasting money for 1 or 2 month of fun , anymore, been there, done that.
i will wait after the game gets released to decide wether buying is good or a bad idea. depends on what my friends tell me
the Dynamic events itself. is not enough of a reason for me, to rush and buy the game. since other MMO i've played had them. i also avoid F2P MMO like the plague, since it is a well known fact, they attract usually the worse people in it.
there are things i like about Gw2 nonetheless, such as the playable races, the character costumisation, and the underwater enviroments.
only time will tell. i'm on the Fence with this game
How many threads have we had now warning us away from pre-purchase? I've lost count. Seriously though? What kind of adult are you if you actually CARE what other people think about financial decisions you make regarding your hobby? I don't consult with my Mommy in this regard, so I'm certainly not going to consult with a bunch of strangers and seek their approval for my expenditures. I do my own research and make my own decisions. This is part of what "grownups" do. Good grief.
Yes, I do think it's THAT ridiculous.

Great post! +1
How do you follow a game then? If anything hype is a strong indication in how a game will turn out. If it wasnt for Hype I would of never found out how good games like Skyrim, DAoC or Asherons Call were. Sometimes hype can be a good thing but it is up to the person to take the hype they see and then do their own research. It sounds like you have done your research and still dont have an opinion on the game and to me that is a thousand times worse then any amount of hype because that shows A. Willfull ignorance or B. onery for onery sakes and IMO it takes a real idiot to distance themselve from something popular "just" because its popular.
Everything you need to know about Elder Scrolls Online

You should definately wait to buy the game. No hurry, the game will be around for a while.
An outside perspective can show things that would have never been considered. A game will always look like a rose until the glasses are taken off. Getting opinions and discussing things are what real "grownups" do. Doing research and forming my own opinion is what I did when I was 20.

You're welcome to listen to obvious intentional focused negativity if you like. I prefer to listen to those that have actually played the game. 20, huh? Guess I'm just young at heart. I don't listen to just anyone at the age of 48. I've learned some discernment. Not everyone that played in the beta has had ALL favorable opinions. I listen to both. What I don't listen to is people who obviously don't know what they're talking about since they post misinformation.
Again...I don't give a rat's ass what you think of MY decision. You're not important in my world as someone I need approval from. If I have any questions...I'll ask my partner's opinion regarding my decisions, not yours. Kind of a no-brainer there, isn't it?
By the way, "real grownups" don't just listen to random people and take their opinions as gospel. But if that's what YOU think is "adult" to do...by all means, feel free.
