if you look at it closely combat is still tab target combat but every class has a skill called dodge that allows you to avoid and ability... it is really not that amazing or innovative or different at all
dynamic events are not dynamic. they are like invasions/rifts in rift. they have minimal affect on the world and they just keep repeating. boring...... fighting some huge dragin called the shatterer or fending off centaur ad nauseum is not dynamic.
3 faction pvp is good. the issue with pvp in most themepark mmorpgs is that there is no lasting impression on the world due to pvp events. its not like i can rent out shops and lease the use of the forge and workbench after capturing a castle...... the pvp is largely meaningless. the game does not take advantage of mmorpg genres ability to provide a living breathing world. 3 faction PvP will play out like an objective based FPS or MOBA, not like an ongoing war between 3 factions.

Yeah it's not that awesome, that's why most people that were in last beta are eager to play again. Thanks for enlightening us.
Remember... all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.
Yep, nothing new here, you may move along.

You are a couple months late. We already saw a bunch of posts off the same exact script, but those arguements collapsed once people actually got a chance to participate in a Beta Weekend Event. If you ever get a chance to participate, you should do so with an open mind. Good MMOs are few and far between and you are doing yourself a dis-service by prejudging this game so negatively.

OP forgot to call the game wow with dodge
your doing it wrong man
And the word of the day, kiddies, is... REGURGITATION. Let's all say it together... RE-GUR-GI-TA-TION. For example, when someone keeps repeating the same falsehoods over and over again, we call that REGURGITATION.
Oderint, dum metuant.
this is actually my thread
no one here has actually bothered to refute any of the points i made. just personal attacks
i guess i must be correct
Beta Weekend Event Reviews & Impressions « Guild Wars 2
too bad you already gave them your $50. maybe research properly next time.
wasnt the beta of swtor where everyone trashed it and thats where the wow in space thing came from?
cuz ive heard alot more people say the beta of gw2 is good then i have bad
I haven't preorder or played GuldWars 2 (yet?)
But seriously, who are you trying to convince? People you don't know? Or yourself?
As a complete outsider you may believe me when I say that your thread has absolutely no point.
Yup. This.
@OP - Don't try to review games you haven't played. Your opinions aren't exactly backed up by any special amount of gamer cred, so good luck being taken seriously. Now, off to read generic unimformative thread #35801.
I used to TL;DR, but then I took a bullet point to the footnote.
Do not know if you are right or not. But you just flamed the holy grail of games of people who read this site and you are getting attacked for it is all. Say what you want about any game here but attack GW2 and go down in flames
"WOW in space" came as soon as the game was announced and got worse once people saw the art direction. On top of that we're only hearing from those willing enough to pre-purchase the game, they're already sold on the game.

You're confusing point with opinion. You really don't have a point, you're just sharing your opinion. There's nothing to refute. Sorry people are bashing you. You are correct in assuming your opinions are yours.
I sit on a man's back, choking him and making him carry me, and yet assure myself and others that I am very sorry for him and wish to ease his lot by all possible means - except by getting off his back.
you have to have gamer cred to have an opinion?
Moderators this guy is a just here to cause GW2 hate. Please delete the discussion.
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
The beta of SWTOR was overwhelmingly positive for the majority of those who played it, present company included. The "WoW in space" complaints had begun long before anyone got into beta, as they were the result of Bioware's claims that they weren't going to depart from the WoW formula.
Other notable "positive" betas: Warhammer and Age of Conan. I'm not saying that GW2 is going to end up like any of those three games, btw. I'm just commenting that positive reviews from betas are pretty commonplace, even for games that don't do well live.
Um where do people get this stuff? If I look closely I will fool myself into seeing something that is patently false?
Erm I actually played the game avoid arrows without using the dodge mechanic. Melee has no need of any targets at all. Check your facts before you try to rip something up. And certainly make sure you get stuff right before you try to tell people that they have it wrong.
I mean seriously why are people coming out of the woodwork and saying things that are demonstrably false? Even if some of the "guided" projectiles can be avoided. The only thing I have seen that always hit are beams like certain channeled lightning effects.
Anyway this is getting really sad.
he has a right to express his opinion and not have it clsed down just because he disagrees with everyone here
it is FACT that gw2 combat is tab target with a dodge skill
it is FACT that dynamics events just keep on repeating with minimal lasting effect on the game world
it is FACT that you can not rent out shops or lease a forge after you capture a castle
im sorry but provided FACTS. its not my fault almost everyone here is so blinded by fanboyism.
Pretty much, this. The OP is entitled to his personal opinion, but I think few would agree with these impressions. The game looks good, plays well, is very organic and meaningful.
I do hope you find something to play that fits your adstringent tastes, though.
Yeah, I remember that SW:TOR beta. It was when everyone was boosted to level 50 and was able to try out the endgame PvP and Ilum. Remember that.
it is FACT that gw2 combat is tab target with a dodge skill

im sorry but provided FACTS. its not my fault almost everyone here is so blinded by fanboyism.
And it is your OPINION that these FACTS are unappealing.

"melee has no need of any targets at all"
"erm i actuall played the game avoid arrows without using the dodge mechanic"
most themepark mmorpgs have ground target attacks that can also be avoided similarly. gw2 has a dodge button to top it off. im not saying its bad, im just saying it isnt as awesome has people are making it out to be. just have a look at the thread title.
Can´t play anything else, GW2 is just to good, wich i didnt play the beta ffs :S
