    Actually the OP said very little.

    Anyone could say what the OP said about GW2 without even playing it.

    It just depends what your gripes with traditional questing are.

    If you don't like to kill stuff, well GW2 has lots of killing, although it has a few other alternatives here and there.

    If the problem you have with quests is that those quests are just a wall of text and the world doesn't reflect that text, GW2 fixes that - there is no text, you see the quest with your eyes and hear it with your ears.

    If the problem you have with quests is that they are a pain because they are solo, so you aren't playing with other people since partying for quests is a pain, GW2 fixes that (although sometimes it can get a bit overcrowded, playing at later hours and more advanced areas reduces the crowding).

    If the problem you have with quests is that they follow a linear progression, requiring you to complete the previous to join the next, GW2 solves that, meaning you can play with your friend without worrying who has what quests.

    If you deslike the fact that you kill Mr. Boss A 5 seconds ago but since you didn't have the quest yet you now need to kill again, GW2 solves that problem.

    If you deslike having to go back and fowards to collect quests and rewards GW2 solves that.

    If you hate when you are in an area to do a quest and there are 5 other people competing for kills, GW2 also solves that.

    If you dislike the fact lower level quests give you no rewards or challenges, GW2 fixes that

    GW2 solves a ton of the problems present in questing and cardbox worlds - there is still loads of killing though. If you are a pacifist, GW2 also solves that - you can level to 80 with a minimum amount of killing by crafting.

    This is my first time playing the game but I am very unimpressed with it. It does not even feel like a mmo.

    curious as to what you feel an MMO should feel like

    I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg

    So you logged into an unpoplated server? You do know the game is in fact an MMO?

    Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.

    +1 good stuff.. think many who hate this game just hate MMOs or games in general no matter what comes out they will hate it..

    I believe hype is what you make it out to be.

    I love the game. I have never before used a keyboard to play an MMO (I was a mouse clicker...), but for this game I was forced to adapt... Now I feel better for it. It running very good on my laptop, no lag at all, very good for a Samsung best buy laptop. The events are fun, community great, and I am practically half naked cause I am to lazy to repair armour, which me and complete strangers laugh about. So go ahead, say you don't get the hype. Hype is how you feel for tHe game. And you happened to be peer pressured into following hype, your simply a fool.

    For what I can see, you dont really want an answer, you just want to attack. You come right out of the gate with insults. 

     

    You wanna know about the "hype"? I will tell you about it. You see, if you DONT go to forums devoted to MMORPGs.. you wont find the hype. BUT if you go to sites DEDICATED to MMORPGs you will find people talking about the newest one out... aka GW2. And as hard as it is for you to take, ALOT of people on a site, dedicated to the hobbie of MMORPGs, like GW2. This is like going on nfl.com and complaining about all the hype the Giants are getting after winning the super bowl. 

     

    tl,dr... if you dont like the "hype", dont go to web sites devoted to mmorpgs.

    Where does all the hype come from?  Hmm let me see.

    #1 GW1 amassed over 5 Mil+ accounts which is a pretty large fan base which will

    carry over to GW2

     

    #2 GW1 was  a success leading us all to believe that ANET will build a winner in

    GW2

     

    #3  This MMO took 5 years to make a good time for the devs to iron out a lot of details

     

    So far I have spent yesterday and today in beta and GW2 doesn't disappoint  it's a fluid

    beautiful game full of things too do.....so far I give it a 9.5

Not to mention the fact that SKILL is now the primary focus of the game, instead of gear. Please, I dare anyone, to actually point out a game where SKILL is truly more important than gear (an mmorpg..).

    ^This should have been anew topic :) This has disrail stamped on it! 

    I suppose I could have started another topic but a lot of people, a lot, have said it's "Not the second coming, Not a game changer, etc" in this topic, a lot.

     

    Funny thing is, I have never seen a post from someone who like GW2 saying it was the "second comming", that came from the people who hate GW2.

    Its like you guys couldnt find anything substantial to pin on us, so you had to start making things up...lol

    I dont hate the game at all,I enjoy it and will most likely buy it..

     

    its the over exaggeration of words such as this very post that cause an equal reaction.

     

     

     

    Yes of course, the OP had absolutly nothing to do with it.

     

    I doint see where the op exaggerated,I agree with him for the most part.

     

    But is horses were steak we would all be eating dinner, so I fail to see the point here.

    Besides this is going to slow, were only up to 123 or so posts, work harder guys!

    I would think a good chunk of the hype is coming from the fact that Anet has pretty much delivered on their promises. They promised quite a bit and renovated several tired MMO staples and put it in a very shiny and polished package AFAIK. Also it is quite apparent when playing the game the attention to detail and passion that was poured into this game. It's hard not to hype something that has already delivered.

    Show me an MMO that's done leveling up better... Also keep in mind we are in newbie areas. And they're still more fun then a lot of high level zones in most other MMO's... Sure the game has its faults but leveling isn't one of them imo. It's actually fun to do.

    ^This should have been anew topic :) This has disrail stamped on it! 

    I suppose I could have started another topic but a lot of people, a lot, have said it's "Not the second coming, Not a game changer, etc" in this topic, a lot.

     

    Funny thing is, I have never seen a post from someone who like GW2 saying it was the "second comming", that came from the people who hate GW2.

    Its like you guys couldnt find anything substantial to pin on us, so you had to start making things up...lol

    I dont hate the game at all,I enjoy it and will most likely buy it..

     

    its the over exaggeration of words such as this very post that cause an equal reaction.

     

     

     

    Yes of course, the OP had absolutly nothing to do with it.

     

    I doint see where the op exaggerated,I agree with him for the most part.

     

    But is horses were steak we would all be eating dinner, so I fail to see the point here.

    Besides this is going to slow, were only up to 123 or so posts, work harder guys!

    This is ultimate quotage. 

    Dude, I heard you like quotes, so I quoted your ultimate quotage quote.

    Don't quote me on this but...I do enjoy a good quote

     

    You can totally quote me on this, no really you can.

    Earlier tonight Adalwulff was quoted as saying "You can quote me on this"

    He was quoted shortly thereafter. 

    Looks like I did in fact, unintentionally, derail the topic, heavily. So..yeah.. how about dem plants.

     

    The plants are great, but dont quote me on that.

    Well, unless is absolutly nessecary!

    Good grief! If it is coming from fans, it isn't hype! Words mean things, people!

    But, the "hype" (more accurately called "excitement"), comes from players (not media or game companies) playing the game, loving it to death, and telling everyone how great the game is. This isn't hype. But it is good that people spread the word. Words mean things. Learn what those meanings are before using them.

    "There are two great powers, and they've been fighting since time began. Every advance in human life, every scrap of knowledge and wisdom and decency we have has been torn by one side from the teeth of the other. Every little increase in human freedom has been fought over ferociously between those who want us to know more and be wiser and stronger, and those who want us to obey and be humble and submit."

    — John Parry, to his son Will; "The Subtle Knife," by Phillip Pullman

    Sure the game is not what you expect from a MMO there is no quest hub A+B+C ect, but the points is either if you klick a  ! npc or run into a area you still get a quest to kill shit, its basicly the same thing, true its fun to run around and suddenly  a event open up and players come to gether to fight off whatever it is, its still not something innovating its still the same thing that looking up a ! and do the quest.

    I will not say much more than that but I will buy the game and see what's offer later when you can get to more max level.

     

    I agree, I enjoy the game but I don't see it curing cancer anytime soon. 

    Nothing has really blown my socks off but I have been enjoying what I have seen so far. I will certainly be buying this when it goes live but I am also going to keep my other games as well.

    That Guild Wars 2 login screen knocked up my wife. Must be the second coming!

    Here is GW2 hype resumed for those who wonder.

     

    GW1, although not an MMO, kept over 5 000 000 players entertained, however, many have nothing to do anymore and to them, this is an expansion set in the future.

    ANet came out with a manifesto promising what everyone wanted in an mmo. Like you didnt have to get a quest that didnt make sense to kill 10 rats out in the field. This is true, but 1/2 of that manifesto will not be making it to launch. However, 1/2 of it is better than none of it as it stands now in other MMOs.

    PvP has always been Anet's forte and it doesnt disappoint. There is no other implementation of PvP like this one. Many other games have tried, but ultimately failed. AoC, WoW, WAR, to name a few.

     

    Where hype comes from:

    Now keep in mind that for every game, there are employees spamming boards like this one (some even pay to have dissent suppressed, cough EA) that easily come out to the teenage eye as fanboys. That is not the case. The hype they create is fake, learn to know the difference.

    There are those who have buyer's "remorse" (not always remorse but you know what I mean, I hope) that want to see that what they bought is the best damn thing ever and there is no way that it is even possible that they could have bought a 2nd rate product, in their minds. They are the annoying type that when asked why, they run away and call you retard for questionning them. Now for those people, as they worship their purchase as a god, they are very easy to troll if they are Christian, as idolizing a game, a character (and really calculating points/skills is idolizing too) makes them heathens to their rule book (bible). Simply let them know that hell awaits them.

    Then there are real fans, and they exist. Those are normally the ones who come in with actual reasons for liking something. Really easy to recognize, they normally have a "hopeful" rhetoric.

    Spot the Anet employee in this thread for bonus points.

     

     

    Boycotting EA. Why? They suck, even moreso since 2008.

    I think I gave up on blind trust with ArenaNet when they changed the Slot Skill and Trait systems on the previous weekend to require you buying Slot Skills you didn't want.

     

    They have said the Trinity is gone but I wonder how many people have played through enough of the Dungeons to verify this?  I wonder how well it actually works considering my Elementalist would get wasted in a couple of hits even with her healing ability.

     

    I still see Guardians becoming a must because of their healing though.  I don't know why but I got the impression that Guardians are going to be a required group member to either tank or offheal the group.

     

    I surely hope I'm wrong.

     

    Honestly the Slot Skill killed any bit of character customization I feel that the game had left.

     

    For example, prior to the last weekend I had around 41 Skill Points that were reset.  I was able to buy all of the abilites I wanted first (the weapon summons, crits, passive run buff).  The new Tiered system required that I purchase 5 1pt Abilities that I never wanted to use.  Then I had to purchase 5 more abilities (some of which I never wanted) to finally get to the ones I DID want.

     

    On top of this change they changed how the Trait lines worked where some of the better abilities were only available deep into the line at 30 points.  Since you only had 70 points (I believe) total to work with you could only take 2 30pt abilities and a 10pt ability.  That's insanely limiting when you're an Elementalist and have all attunements available to you all the time.

     

    The hype train slowed down a lot for me.  I still plan to play at release but I'm so much less excited about it now.  I think that I may have burned myself out on the Dynamic Events and exploring in the past weekends.  Hopefully that'll clear up by time release happens.

     

    Before someone starts flaming me as a TSW fanboy.. I like TSW.  I also like GW2.  It's wholey possible to enjoy both games, there's no need to flame someone who likes one or the other.  I wish users would extend more courteosy to people who like and play both games who can still disagree with their opinions without immediately assuming they are trolling said game.
