"If you look at it closely, combat allow players to Tab target (a familiar method of selecting which mob you wish to attack)."
what about mouse targeting?.because one of the things i hated about swtor was the mouse targeting,ive used mouse targeting in every mmo ive played and i tried it in swtor and i dont know,it just sucked compared to tab targeting.and i hate the tab targeting in swtor
but like ive said.unless they changed it since i last heard,you dont actually need to target people to hit them
Or perhaps you just want to troll. There is plenty of flavor out there. If none of them suit your taste maybe you should do something else you like. Coming on here and trolling is not about the state of the genre it is about you hating and trying to ruin fun for others simply because you can.

exactly,but the sad thing for the mmo genre is going to be.if you see the same bunch that joined swtor,go to guild wars 2 and start beating the "lets demand this game have wow features,then quit when the company doesnt give them"
because you might as well just forget any new mmos being sucessful after that.there all just going to be driven into the ground by ex wow players

[sin-i-kuhl]I used to TL;DR, but then I took a bullet point to the footnote.
This is a troll thread. RebelScum99 may have a point about beta etc. But the OP is just being dishonest. Using fake strawmen of aspects but ignoring context to continue controversy.
Anyway the shallow nature of Beta impressions is what it is. But when a guy comes into a forum and post dishonest stuff liek this don't expect it to be anything but shitstorm. Has nothing to do with the nature of Betas.
He could do this kind of crap after release and get the same thing.
On the one hand it's good to see someone on this site who thinks for themselves instead of jumping on the absolute bandwagons that exist on this site but I swear about a week ago I saw a thread that seemed to say the exact same thing you are saying now and I don't mean just the crux but like word for word.
It's a decent game. But it's not an mmorpg. So I agree with you in that regard. But again, this is a massively multiplayer video game, or mmoVG. This is why you are sensing the shallow aspects of the game.
so now you are referring to GW2 as a swtor style fail that is a WoW copy? Can you get more serious then this?
I saw the udpated cash shop and I could not stop thinking about how I was going to use my credit card so hard to get the "Box o' Fun" and "Inventor's Sunglasses" and the "Pirate Mate's Outfit" with the express intent of winning the hell out of the game.
I also hope to hear shortly about being able to P2W the dancing moas that Kappa the asura female trainer had. Can you imagine those in WvW?
"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 OP just wants to say, that the game is not that http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPmhWCnffC4.
Yet, whenever I read the word awsome related to an MMO, I must think of Paul Barnett advertising WAR. So maybe the OP wants to tell us, that GW2 is as awsome, as Warhammer Online was promised to be
Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need.
The massive amounts of people who are either interested in this game or already own it, most of which will never see your thread, disagree with you. Who are you trying to convince, because it's not working.
1) Yes you can tab target in GW2. However, you can also just cast a spell, and the spell will fly in the direction your character is pointing if you do not have a target. It's a mixture of both systems. I know I didn't always tab target.
2) Yes it is fact. However, nobody ever said that the dynamic events never repeated. However, due to the variety of the events some will repeat often and some won't repeat often, some are on a timer, whereas some require certain conditions to be met before the dynamic events occur. There's events ranging from escorting caravans, to kill bandits trying to take over and/or destroy a farm, to protecting a bridge. I would say a bridge that's out has a pretty significant effect on the world. I obviously cannot be permanent, nor can it be out for a year as it's rebuilt.
Anet has stated their number one goal is too make a game that's fun. They aren't trying to make a realistic game that makes 100% in the real world. It's called fantasy for a reason, so Anet can break standard rules for the sake of fun. They cannot make anything have a very long effect on the world. Can you imagine how many people would be pissed if they cannot get to a merchant to buy that jar of bees because it's going to take 2 weeks to just get that merchant back?
Heck, the day/night cycle is shortened. I believe the day/night cycle is on a 4 hour cycle last I knew. This way those that play at night won't always be playing at night, and those that play during the day play during the day.
Anet has also stated that dynamic events grow in variety and complexity beyond the first couple zones. You can already see this going from Queensdale to Kessex Hills. And that some events will be tied to day/night cycle as well.
So in short, no it's not just RIFT/Warhammer. I'd accept the argument that it's a combination and an evolution of RIFT's Rifts and Warhammers Public Quest system.
3) Yes this is fact. However, Anet never stated you could do that... You're guild can take over castles in WvW. Post-release, Anet plans on adding Guild Halls and more advanced personal housing. However, Anet never said you could open up your own trading posts or whatever.
From what it sounds like, you are trying to take GW2 as something it was never meant to be. This is obviously evident by your third argument. It may not be that awesome to you, but that's merely your opinion. I'm not here to change your opinion, neither is anyone else. However, one thing we will comment on (or in some cases laugh at because this has been brought up at least 1000 times) is areas you misrepresent GW2 for what it's not suppose to be.
If GW2 is not a game you want to play, don't play it. It's that simple. Do you really need to post on the forums and announce your displeasure and try to pursuade other people to agree with you? Especially in a GW2 fan forum... It's great that you realized GW2 was not a game for you. I hope you find a game that you like. I, personally, had a blast playing GW2, and I look forward to playing it again soon.
It is FACT that OP has actually not looked at combat in details, reading his facts.
It is FACT that OP facts are therefore actually not real facts.
It is FACT that OP will not be accountable for the lies he is spreading.
I'm sorry but provided FACTS, it's not my fault OP didn't even care to check his facts (but someone pointed his mistake in the thread already, so maybe he'll care to read his own thread if not blinded by rage).
Let's just stop this nonsense. Thread created in a day with little moderation; sweeping, misleading arguments; cherry-picking quotes and answers, more straw than Kansas...
All we need now is a bridge and a tool.
it is a fact that you clear need play GW2 .loool.
tell me how is tab target anything if i didnt any tab target key??? you can atack anything without select any mob, even range can do that ( i do that with Necro in stress test). you can tab target if you want if you dont want you dont need, is a OPTION.
you must see youtube videos about dynamic events and read some stuff....
FACTS? you dont know anything about game but you can say that are facts??? looool.
OP's facts proven unreliable - FACT.
Definitely the most important fact here, if he hasn't played, there's no reason to say as fact how the game plays.
For every minute you are angry , you lose 60 seconds of happiness."-Emerson
advice: go check post history of this guy.
D3 suck /GW2 suck / SW suck / WoW suck / TESO suck, everything suck lol. he hate GW2 even without play 1minute but 90% of his post is to say something bad about GW2 and insult people (call names to people really impressive, seem someone have some problems...)
These are the discussions that get members warned, lose rank points, and temp banned. I suggest just closing it moderators. Thats all I'm posting here, every time I give an opinion lately I get a ban no matter how trivial. Have fun you guys!
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
I'm making an asura specifically so that I can break dance on the corpses of my enemies.
Since there's a lot of just "you're a troll lolol" and not a lot of clear disputing of your "facts" allow me to rebut.
1) The game can target with the tab key, yes. There is a dodge skill, yes. However, it's not auto-lock ala wow. Positioning, los, the direction you are facing, and the presence of any other opponents in the field of view affect things. In other words, if You fire a shot at my team mate, and I get in front of it, I get hit, even though they were targeted. While your two facts are correct, that's like saying "icebergs are made of water, therefore I can drink an iceberg". You''re missing some thngs.
2) That is NOT a fact. if certain events are not completed, they will spawn new events and WILL have an impact on the world (albeit temporary). Both players and NPCs can and will vie to control waypoints, overrun towns, etc. No, you won't permanently change the game forever for doing an event, but it does make a different. The newbie zones are poor examples of how it works, because they repeat WAY too often right now, esp since everyone's in them. Event timers scale to zone pop, I believe.
3) Truth. All transactions taken place on the auction house. There are no player shops or anything like that. This isn't that kind of game. If that's what you are looking for, this isn't the game for you.
I'm going to use your definition of a WoW clone from another post to address your implication of GW2 as another WoW clone.
wow clone:
- tab target combat Yes, but also can attack without targetting.
- fast levelling Yes
- easy No (at least not for most people I talked too)
- lfg, lots of fast travel Yes
- fixed single class system Yes
- quest hubs--world split up into level appropriate zones Eh... Is this 2? If so No and Yes respectively
- quest based levelling: gear, coin and exp rewards No
- mundane repetitve kill x of y quests No
- bound items: no player economy No clue what this means. There definitely will be a economy though
- crafted items weaker than loot items, crafting ussually afterthought Nope
- instance focussed: raids, dungeons, battlegrounds; open world largely unused Nope
- gear grind through numerous tiers-- purchase with tokens/rep earnt in instanced pvp/pve Nope
- 2 faction Nope
(OP) Well i can see people are still being misinformed on this title. Talk about a dead horse.
Targeting can be tab it is not by default, it's LOS, you can manually change it if you want.
Dynamic events ARE dynamic they aren't rifts with the same exact things happening over and over again, they have split off meta events that occur half way through the event chain to decide what will happen next. They also have hints given you by the nearby npc's instead of being locked into a cinematic pressing the spacebar. The DE's aren't kill all the mobs to seal the rift or do the exact number of same things for a community group quest the quests actually CHANGE, you have that all wrong i'm afraid. OH and the world does move on without you, if you fail a DE there are consequences, not some repeat on a timer.
And finally, PVP is three faction because they wanted it to be an esport, It's much more fun imo then what is provided by other games right now. Not to mention you actually have to THINK about what you are doing when in combat.
1)not forget to say that select any mob/enemy is just a OPTION. dont need to tab target or select with mouse, not melee or range class and work great. so if you use tab target is a tab target game ifo you dont use isnt. the reason why is called a tab target hybrid combat system.
about the rest who cares? he dont care about the game why explain things to this guy? if you saw his history posts aparently he know everything about game...
