Let me say first, sorry I am bad at english.
EDITE saying this since people have brought it up, yes on here all I talk about is gw2. However that because thats all I use this forums for. It the only mmo I am playing right now(other then ps2, but I only do that maybe 3hrs a week). My news letter from here I check everyday and if I see a gw2 subject I like I go and post. I got other forums for other things. However this forums is only about gw2.
The Story is 6/10
Dont mind the voice acting or anything like that. What bothers me is the story line it self.
Which even here got some side small things off to the side that is funny to do are read. So it not completely bad, just the over all story is really bad and so I cant give it a good rating. However, pretty fun to play at a lot of parts.
Dynamic Events 7/10
They may improve on this in the future, but as of right now a lot of them dont live up to what I was hoping or would like.
Like the dragons attack, should not be on a timer and should only come when you have done tons of DE that kicks out all of the dragons minions on the map. He should come as a last resort. Then a timer on him, where if not killed fast enough he holds you off long enough for his minions to regroup and start attacking multy towns. Which, then you gotta not just focus on him but keep them for taking over the places are they build things like siege weapons to bomb you with.
Maybe not that epic, but should have been done a lot better.In the end major DE should not be on a timer, they should happen because of what players have done. While smaller DE, for doing side things. Thats cool to be on a timer.
Also they should terrible things if you lose a DE, not just a woops to bad. Now something already have this. but they seem to scare to really go all out for this.
DE are fun, but in the end they did not truly go far enough with them.
Aesthetic 8,5/10
I dont do graphic rating, because they nothing but a servent to the Aesthetics of the game. I love it, maybe not the best Ive seen but I love to explore(go into this more detail in next part). I like going places and just staring off. They really well done, and invisble walls are hard to find and place with them they explain pretty well. Not seen a single invisble wall that was like no reason ya cant go their.
Exploring(9/10)
Yes a lot of stuff is mark on map. However, you should still explore, Ive found seceret side places that is out right beutiful and yet. Nothing is mark anything about it. Also climb up high places like a tower in CF, that was not mark, but it gave a wonderful view. I have no doubt only a handful actually found the tower or thought of climbing it. So I saw something not many have seen.
Also their finding the jps, which are not mark and fun as hell to do. I just love them so much.
Mini games(7,9/10)
this would be higher, since I love the jps so much. However, they was suppose to have 30 mini games all spread out in the different main cities to spread out the population. Yet they still do not have it and until they do, this score will stay at it is.
Combat (9,2/10)
Ive never like the holy trinity, I hate being stuck to one role. Which is why Ive already play games like Domo, where ya could at lest combine things and be a semi good tank with a magic class.
However, with this I can be a Mesmer and in Dgns keep all mobs off my party and keep them all pulled into one small area so it easy for my team to take them out. Are with Mantraheal and shatter heal with null field and some other support utilities.I could be a major support class or could be a dps. Also can combine different ones to make hybrids.
This is not perfect, balancing problems and buffing things that make people wanna do dps and ignor the rest while nerfin support and tank roles.
So they mess it up here and their, but they also fix it when they do(at lest so far).
Also I see people say, well it a mess all it is, is a zerg fest.
I can see how people may think that, because those who arent very good cummonication, it can become that. However, my group use combo field, we combine are different skills to keep perma buffs on and control mobs perfectly. We have dps/support/tanks and bybrids in the group and we all work together. It rare for any of us to get a down even we own ass big time. Because we have really good team work, because in this game you need it. However, with out someone holding your hand a lot of people fail at team work and thats where the zerg fest comes in.
builds(7,5/10)
This could be a 9 one day, if they get it working better. However, as of right now they got a lot of useless traits all around and traits that should not be grandmaster and others that should be and is not. Also tons of bugs and such and lets not forget it not balance right.
I use Mez as a example again with builds, the shatter build should not be the end all of everything. However, they keep trying to force people to be nothing but that with these buffs to it.
It almost as if they wanna make only one build for the mez in the end. Still of course tons of good builds, but it worries me for the future. Also they force you to go into trait lines that are useless for you. Like it gives cd bonus, which you dont use any cd skills, and yet traits in the line that is for power builds. In the end those traits should be in the power build line and power build line should not have cd build trait in them.(this is a very basic explanation and got flaws in it, but dont wanna explain it all)
As of right now I still got tons of build choices on all of the class's and can still make weird, but awesome new builds. However, need to work on the bugs and the trait lines and also need to stop trying to force people into playing only one build.
Because the awesome mix in the end of builds, is what make it fun.
Skill(8,5/10)
Yes have crazy skill bar is fun, however this is pretty fun in it own way. I love the skills base on your weapon and the utilities. I never got a single useless skills, I am always using all of my skills and I keep switching out utilities in dgns for different mobs. I use a total of 11 different utilities.
Social (10/10)
I know must will not agree with me here, but Ive never had a problem. Got a long list of friends, I have tons of people always whispering me to do stuff with them or to even just hang out somewhere.
Only thing I will say to add is dgn finder, so not everyone in LA, but this to get people to spread out(which is also I want the mini games to be put into the game already)
WvW (7/10)
It fun, but dnt do it a lot. I got ideals of how to improve. However over all it a good system, that just need a lot more added to it. For it to really shine.
S/Tpvp(7/10)
Also not the best pvp, had much more fun on other games. However, this is because of the modes and such. BEcause the actually pvp is fun, just not the way it done. Well I hope they improve upon this. However, again nothing bad to say about it, they just need to imrpove it.
-----------------------------
More I could rate and say about it, but over all it 8,5 to me and could be 9 or higher one day once they get enouhg content and fixes in it.
First MMO in years that Ive even like, so I do have hopes for it future.

The Deep Web is sca-ry.
All of my posts are either intelligent, thought provoking, funny, satirical, sarcastic or intentionally disrespectful. Take your pick.
I get banned in the forums for games I love, so lets see if I do better in the forums for games I hate.
I enjoy the serenity of not caring what your opinion is.
I don't hate much, but I hate Apple© with a passion. If Steve Jobs was alive, I would punch him in the face.

The guy ended up getting a refund :P How many months/days has this game been out anyways?
I do this with every game I rate, I play it for 1k hrs. TO make sure ive done all the systems.
More then half my ratings are 7 are lower. So how is this a fanboy???
I love you man! Merry Christmas!
Some of your scores don't make sense... you say that the game has loads of useless traits and point out the severe lack of build options for some professions and then give it a 7.5?
In my opinion the build options and class balance were the biggest thing wrong with this game and they should really have somewhere between 0 and 2/10. The warrior was the only fully functional profession in beta and that STILL hasn't changed.
Well reading some of your post history i would say he has a point. You even accuse someone of sucking because they don't match up to your standard of PVP.
Giving the game a ten for social has got to be the biggest joke of the whole write up. And please stop going on about your 1000 hours played, i played up to level 80 which is more than enough to know as much as you about the game.
Anyway, a bit of breakfast and take the dog for a walk, the gym then log back into Age Of Wuhsu.
are you working for that game? seriously I can't read a single post where you don't mention that game.... eastern mmos.. yuck
yeah, I'm not positive but from earlier posts I think he's just real excited about playing a game where you can be a eunuch or something like that.

Oh my god .... Are you kidding ?
The game went out about 4months ago (it's about 130days)
SO THE GUY SHOULD PLAY 8 HOURS FOR EVERY DAY
/(^ 00 ^)/ <------------ (geezed pig)
Not true all class's have failure in their traits and such, however not to the point of being broken. I can make a build where I can kill any other class on any class.
THe problem is they buffing it wrong way, so that on each class their only one build that anyone will want to play.Because any other build would take work to do right and no one wanna do that.
It it was to the point of a class being broken, then it be much lower, it jsut to the point of being annoying. However, it can be fix. However, even know I know at lest 3 different working builds for each class, it just needs to be a lot more and once the traits and such are fix their will be.
However, think you for being the only person who did not attack me, even through I said this was my Impression of the game. Not it was fact and on top of that I did not give it that high of rating.
First no you should never make a review are anything about a game, until you play every system in it. Which this game have a ton of, however over 70% of the gameing content is miss. Since must of it is hidden and have nothing pointing it out. Only the vistas and such have symbols.
Second sorry but no you can get to lvl 80 on a char without doing much of anything. getting to lvl 80 is nothing. Exploring the game and doing the content is something. In this game getting to lvl 80 means nothing about what you done.
Which even now I not done any where near all teh content, not done all the jps and so on.
Ps look at my history and did not see where I called someone stupid, plz give me link. Wanna see if you taking it out of context.
Like the guy was being a ass are something.
Thanks for the feedback,,,
However I gotta say I hated tera combat.
However, thats just my opinion. TO me gw2 is by far the best combat in mmo I have play.
