ive already prepurchased it and i do have only two concerns
that after lvl 30 the world is empty doing a AOC and that the cash shop will be a buy to win
everything ive seen so far shows its not going to be like this but from every game we have all played for the last three years there has been somthing wrong happen
and im just waiting for gw2 problem to come up but so far , fingers crossed nothing yet
i guess we will need to wait for release and a week or so after to know
but also it has one adavntage to AOC all content is still playable at level 30 even starting areas so even if you had to wait for them to fill other areas there is still a lot to do
Its not even going to be close. Even if Anets 40+ content is severly lacking (we havent seen it first hand) it still wont be AoC. First, Anet has been really open about thier game. Funcom had an NDA on anything past tortage up untill release and for verry obvious reasons. I dont think Anet would be foolish enough to print something on the box thats not in the game. How Funcom got away with it without a massive lawsuit is beyond me. Even if the PvE content is horribly lacking or buggy at 40+ we will still have PvP. We have seen it working albiet a bit laggy. In AoC once you got out of Tortage the content was buggy, horribly lacking, and the pvp they claimed didnt exist.
I could continue but no reason to beat a dead horse. All people have to do is go look at some early posts in the AoC forums to see just how horrible that game was and how much Funcom lied. Actually LIED not just mislead. I have never gotten that vibe from Anet even in GW1. Keep in mind that has nothing to do with how long the game will last for most of us. But to say its the next AoC? Simply wont happen.
if your contention is GW2 is just like all those other MMOs you're wrong.
google "guild wars 2 mass info" and click the first thing, that will set you straight.
happy learning!
You're funny. Because those parts in yellow prove how much nay-sayers are granting themselves the right to post an absolute judgement, without even knowing what they're talking about.
Try harder, sour people. Try harder, because hey, you're not ridiculous enough yet.

Care to elaborate? I don't see how AoC's hype was "sold by Funcom".
Both games have hype both by the developer and fans (I'll admit it; i drove up some AoC hype myself early on).
I will say however, that Funcom did some pretty crappy things. Mostly, lying about seiges and DX10 in interviews. Putting on the printed box that I bought frm the store features that were not actually present in game. Stuff like that. They sold people on things that did not actually exist.
It's one thing to say that Anet's idea of DEs isn't as dynamic as some expected. OK, cool. But what Funcom did would be akin to Anet telling us all about DEs, promising them to us, and then not actually having any.
Well it's definitely great to know that you had a direct hand in fixing the game, but I'm positive they have a closed beta team working everyday on finding and reporting those same issues, and are not relying on 3 weekend tests to find their problems. Stress testing is really the only true argueing point you'd be able to cite for why any of those weekend tests were true beta tests.
Red text: There's nothing about pre-purchasing or pre-ordering a game that indicates a more responsible player. Relevant anecdote: My nephew is 13 and had his parents pre-purchase the game for him. I guarantee he wasn't bug hunting during the BWEs.
Pre-purchasing surely allowed interested players in who are also responsible, no question about that. But there's no real real correlation between spending money and being responsible. We'd never be able to say with any accuracy one way or the other, but the adverts for the BWEs were all about getting access to play the game before anyone else, not to test it. So my suspicion is that more people were just there for the free game time. (Again, that can't be proven, just my instinct.)
First one was backwards now your mixing apples and oranges
Graphic are technical. Art is subjective.
Graphically speaking TSW is the most advanced mmo on the market. You may like the art in GW2 and Tera better though. Art can be debated graphics can not.
TSW is in no way, shape, or form remotely like AOC was at launch nor is there raging over the game so not sure where you got this idea from. But you're about as wrong as you can get.
I should know considering I was around for TSW launch and the disgraceful fuckup known as the AOC launch.
1. For god's sake mmo gamers, enough with the analogies. They're unnecessary and your comparisons are terrible, dissimilar, and illogical.
2. To posters feeling the need to state how f2p really isn't f2p: Players understand the concept. You aren't privy to some secret the rest are missing. You're embarrassing yourself.
3. Yes, Cpt. Obvious, we're not industry experts. Now run along and let the big people use the forums for their purpose.
This question was asked of mmos before GW2 and it should be asked of GW2 aswell.
bcbully you are a min/maxer and love technical pvp we have argued this before about the secret world . You enjoy a challange and seem to be very competitive. I think you should just accept us fans and come on over to guild wars2 with us and then later on down the road you can come on here and compare the two games for pvp. I think you will enjoy the depth of builds also in guild wars 2 and see how fluid the flow of pvp is.
Did anyone see boobage on proud display during the BWEs?
Different selling points (nudge nudge wink wink).
Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.
This is a First for me. dropped a cinder block on my john ?
Do you mean Johnson?
Even the Refrences are wrong.
Wow
Some rather "interesting" posters in this thread. Whew....
