Originally posted by Gameloading What other MMO can you choose to interupt particular enemy spells while they're being cast?: World of Warcraft
Have they changed WoW since I played? Cause you can't CHOOSE anything...you just get a random chance to interupt the spell. In GW you HAVE to fire off a skill to interupt another person's action (unless the skill they're using is labelled "easily interuptible" then a normal attack that hits will invariably interupt it).
Thus GW has STRATEGY (ie. choosing which spell/skill to interupt) and TWITCH (doing it in time)...
And WoW has neither.
As to difficult versus challenging...well I suppose it's all in the perception. I find GW's gameplay challenging, but not difficult. As once I've found a way to beat a mob/group (the challenge part) it's no longer actually difficult to do so...see the difference.
Oh...and way to not answer most of my questions...
What class did you play? Which of the high-end PvE stuff did you attempt?
You know what, I'm done discussing with GW fans. have a nice day. you wouldn't believe me even if GW's developers state it themself.
Edit: You only assume I didn't understand him. I lived in Miami for 4yrs where 85% of the population speaks spanish. I can read it and understand it very well, just like I used to be able to understand Korean when I was younger. I don't know how to speak it (other than simply replies) because I don't understand all the rules it uses, but what he said was a spam thread.

Looking for people speaking the same language to talk about MMO's isn't spam.
Now can you stop slamming GW in every thread it comes up in? Cause you obviously have NO facts or long-term game experience to back up your arguments.
Actually, I have played GW since the very first alpha test, so I guess there goes your "obviously" eh? Also I don't need "facts". I have played through that content. there is no better fact then your own experience.
Originally posted by Gameloading you: thinks the high end PVE content is extremely difficult, despite the fact the game is a hit key 3-5-7 game, with zero twitch, and minimum strategy required (for the PVE part) Me: thinks the high end PVE content a walk in the park. Its pretty obvious who needs to get a clue
I never said it was difficult, I said it was challenging...big difference. And, come on, you can't claim GW has zero twitch and minimum strategy...unless you know nothing about the game.
Have you ever played a mesmer, or a monk for that matter? You say zero twitch...you've never played those 2 classes (in fact ANY class with interupts requires twich, and Rangers, Warriors, Paragons, and now even Necros, have interupts).
No strategy? What other MMO do your archers get bonus damage for being on higher ground than the enemy? What other MMO can you run behind obstacles to avoid ranged fire? What other MMO can you choose to interupt particular enemy spells while they're being cast? Once again...and mainly to annoy you...I'm gonna make another assumption...tell me if I'm wrong...you only ever played a warrior in that 180 hours right
You're talking out your arse GL...and you know it.
BTW...name me the so called "high-end" PvE areas you've done in GW...list them.
For a "game" or "Misson" to be challenging, it needs to be difficult. in fact, this is what dictionary says:"
5.
difficulty in a job or undertaking that is stimulating to one engaged in it.
"
so there you have it, and since GW is not difficult, its not challenging. Also, there is hardly anything twitch about that. in fact, that isn't twitch at all. bonus for standing on higher ground is incredibly low. in fact, by the time you reached that higher ground, you could have already done more damage standing in the same place, spamming damage. stop your pointless assumptions,
and stop acting like a blind raging fanboi. GW requires ZERO skill in PVE. Period. if you do think its requires skill, then I would seriously question your hand-eye coordination.
oh, to answer these two questions: What other MMO can you run behind obstacles to avoid ranged fire?: Asherons Call
What other MMO can you choose to interupt particular enemy spells while they're being cast?: World of Warcraft
This post is filled with hyperbole and things taken to extremes such that they are virtually meaningless. Yes WoW has interrrupts but anyone who tries to make a case that WoW interrupts are as rich as GW interrupts is pissing in the wind and just arguing for agruments sake. Really its a no brainer. Sorry but kick and pummel do not even come close to the 50 some odd different interrupts for different things with different effects and costs etc.
GW PvE takes a moderate amount of skill. GW PvP take a whole lot of skill. That is the way it is. And its PvE is not really any less "hard" than any other MMORPG, none of the MMORPGs are particularly hard. And frankly they are purposely made to not be that hard. Who cares?
Anyway people need to learn to stay on topic. Btw I have an Eve account that i am currently paying for. And nowhere did I say Eve doesn't deserve its rating or even say the ratings on this aren't useful in their own way. In fact I have stated in other threads that Eve and GW 's two dev teams are probably the only two I respect. I simply find the fanboys of this site funny, in a sad kind of way.
