I guess were just gonna have to try and get along without you OP. it'll be hard but we'll try
PS: your post kinda has a lot of innaccuracies. im doubting your claim that youve played lots of this game
If someone is talking in general chat in a language you dont understand, chances are they're not talking to you. So chill out and stop bitching about it!
Don't get me wrong, I have pre-purchased andam looking forward to the game. I was just wondering if his "opinion" was being confused as "minsinformation". If that makes sense. So that is what I was REALLY asking.
I saw your post with all the video links. Great work btw. But I have chosen to try to do the minimum of pre-release game investigating so that I can begin playing fresh. I'm sure I'll "crack" and start researching when the 25th approaches...heh.
Thank you for not playing WvW. Really, thank you, from the deepest of my heart.
The truth is what they find out for themselves, were all adults here (maybe not some). It is not for someone to give us the truth when the truth is already available in bucketloads and we're entirely capable of finding it for ourselves without someone deciding what 'truth' we'll be told. Lets just let the game speak for itself in a fortnight, there will be no better 'truth' than that.
2 is mininformation because WvW isn't the only type of PvP. sPvP exists and is not a zergfest (unless you consider a zergfest 5v5 with 3 capture points).
On top of that, there are various ways to play in WvW. If you choose to join the zerg, it will be a zergfest. But they have Sentinels that can be soloed, supply camps that can be taken by 2+ people and you can actually roam around with a small group and get a lot accomplished for your side.
3 is misinformation because even the class with the least amount of skills available to it in combat has 16 unique skills. Some of the classes have a lot more ranging from 16 to about 45 in combat skills.
4 is fine because, like he says, it's not pay to win. Of course he is unable to tell the future, so that last part of number 4 is just bullshit.
My first thoughts as well.
Full of fail.
BOYCOTTING EA / ORIGIN going forward.
Saying that the cash shop is P2W and that the PvP is just a zerg is complete misinformation. Saying that they 'removed raids' is misinformation since they never intended to have raids at any point. Him thinking that the endgame isnt very good because it doesnt have the raids is an opinion.
I don't understand people like the OP. ArenaNet have been open and honest about every single component of their game from the start. If he needs to have raids, why even preorder to begin with? Everyone knew they wouldnt have a gear grind in this game, you only have to look at GW1 to know what to expect from endgame.
have fun with your futur game
cheers
You again?
Didn't you leave ages ago because you hated GW2?
It the game the original poster said he was going to play over GW2.
Edit: Ack, you edited!
Haha, ya - missed the last paragraph (didn't care for the rant), then I figured there may be a reason to that comment
But it's not his "opinion", it is instead really "misinformation".
He's saying the game has no raids, which is both misinformation and a straight out lie. The game has raids, just not in the traditional sense and not for it's end-game goal.
He's saying the game is Pay-2-Win. Again, a misinformative lie. The game's cash shop provides XP boosts and cosmetic items. Even with the Gems to Gold exchange, it's not valuable for good gear at all. Gear is purchable through KARMA, DUNGEON TOKENS, BADGES OF HONOR, and GLORY. Because these can only be gained through playing the game, the impact of gold is 0 when it comes to obtaining this gold. And, a player's level means nothing, so XP boosts are squat.
He's said that the all the PvP is pointless Zergs, another misinformative lie. sPvP is even on all sides. WvW has been proven to have small groups own large groups depending on coordination and tactics. There are several dozen Youtube videos showing it.
And lastly he's said there's no End-game. That's the only "opinion" piece he has. The game has no end-game by his gear-grinding, raid repeating definition. HOWEVER, the game does have post-level cap character progression through Legendary Weapons, Glory/sPvP Ranks, Server Ranks (WvWvW), achievement hunting, and there's Orr for it's Dynamic Events.
Oh look... another low post count/ low activity OP feeling, mysteriously, the need to now engage with the wider community about why they won't be playing this game...
I think there are a lot of parties out there very worried about GW2.
Sorry but "The truth about the game" translates to: YOUR opinion of the game.
You wrote this game of and thats perfectly fine. Now... We all wished you good luck with your future game, please show us the same courtesy and just move along.
We dont need casuals in our games!!! Errm... Well we DO need casuals to fund and populate our games - But the games should be all about "hardcore" because: We dont need casuals in our games!!!
(repeat ad infinitum)
So why is it that this is not a troll post ? because step for step each line in OP's post does have statements that is at best ignorant and at worst outright trolling. It is not that often that i go so straight up against a poster - but i have to ask if this is a camuflaged troll post- because it really looks like alot of things is put the way it is against OP's better knowledge.
If its not the case- then i do feel sorry for OP - that he had spend so much time fooling himself about what GW2 is and still not getting it sorted out in a peacefull way. But luckely he have found another game he likes.And hopefully after getting his GW2 misunderstandings out of the way, he can get to peace with that GW2 just was something else than what he wanted.
Amazing, the OP hit a nerve, I guess we will all find out in 2 months if GW2 lives up to its hype as well.
And honestly the poster stated his reasons, many GW2 fanantics are as guilty of posting this same type of thread on the TSW and SWToR forum. So what we have here is the pot calling the kettle black, we should all be used to this by now.
I understand people want to fill like they chose the mmo that everyone will flock to and call a success, however we are getting another Themepark MMO. I already accepted this and know that GW2 isn't going to be a long term game for me, however if I get my $59.99 out of this game, I will be happy like I did with SWToR since both games can be played without a sub.
I just can't wait till we get a mmorpg that can match up to Ultima Online game mechanics as well as a mmorpg that can succeed Dark Age of Camelot Faction RvR system.
Why would parties be worried about GW2?
No he left because he hates GW2 fanboys. Pretty vocal for someone that has gone. Sad to see someone so consumed by negativity pages and pages of it http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/userPosts/1482421/page/1
They are worried that people would be playing GW2 instead of partying?
don't feed him.
