    <P>It depends on what games you like im a hard core RPG fan and i love team based combat with friends or against foes, thus i would like guild wars much more than World of warcraft, guild wars is more basic to get strait into these game types and start killing where World of warcraft is more custimazation and requires more thought than guild wars.</P>
    <P>To me GW will be my choice.</P>
    <P>Personally i think GW is gonna kick WoW really really hard, if only WoW released earlier</P>
    <P>It will most definantly be fun to watch the two battle it out for mmorpg title lol <IMG src="http://www.mmorpg.com/images/emoticons/emt_reyes.gif"></P>;

    The only thing?? The list of great things about GW in my head just seems to go on an on..

    1. Fast leveling
    2. no KSing
    3. solo and team areas
    4. PvP or NoN-PvP seperated in one game
    5. Epic quests
    6. Epic PvP with rewards
    7. On the fly character skill changing

    The list goes on and on. If I sat here accually trying to think of things I would be here all day. WoW will do great but it will not come close to the GW sales for many reasons mostly to do with the Free to play thing.

    The real ironic part of this is the same people that made Diablo and worked for blizzard are making GW's so really GW is the blizzard game and WoW which is being made by new programers for blizzard is the newcommer.

    yea im waiting too see Guild Wars out..man it looks like a badass game from all the screenshots adn the trailer i saw i think id prefer Guild Wars over WoW

  • KartelKartel Member Posts: 241

    The screenshots and videos don't begin to do it justice. If you'd played during E3, you'd be blown away.

  • Rampage101Rampage101 Member Posts: 50

    My opinion is that GW is mutch better. But that is because i like guilds and expensive charackters a lot.image

  • GaurdianKingGaurdianKing Member Posts: 338

    LOL! k, let me start fro the top. I heard some guy listing stuff about pvp and so one. Let me just answer that in japanese for one sec BAKA BAKA BAKA! LOL! Thows options are in every blooming game. LOL! Ow ow, guild wars has pvp server and a non pvp server and what else, lets go back and see. ow hell lets just print out the list.

    1. Fast leveling
    2. no KSing
    3. solo and team areas
    4. PvP or NoN-PvP seperated in one game
    5. Epic quests
    6. Epic PvP with rewards
    7. On the fly character skill changing

    now only ones that actaully can be left alone id 1,7. This is because it is built into the game mechanics, people start from scratch when they enter the game and they simply chose what conbination they will play with next time. As for that being usefull, LOL! I gaurent there will be several times you will be curseing this part of the game. To have a proper guild battle you would have to be in the game before hand and level up in the tech tree you want then go and fight. Mid battle teching is difficult and well, let just face it, if you did it you guild would lose. So these are simply the games play type. This type of game play will wear out very quickly, they game play would only last at max I am assuming a couple of months becausde of it. I can just see players going out and killing mobs over and over again and then opps we reach the end of the tech tree again, umm how many combinations have we reached now mac. " 45, I think thats the lot, we will play with this one an simplly repeatedly kill mobs for not freaking reson, just the fact that we are bord and like to see creatures die". LOL!

    As for everything else on the list, every blooming mmorpg has these you mumpet, what the hell is the point in mentioning it if every game has it.

    Personal note, Thank you god for bistowing ignorant people in this manna in which I can completey and utterly correct them in there way of thinking. I have no qaurral when you simeply say you like it and want to play it but when you start saying it's better because it has this this and this, I am sorry, you will automatially lose this one.

    Further examples if that guild war is a free game, now correct me if I am wrong but will this game get monitored and so on because as free games go, they get hacked and bashed and so on. Also it means that the patches will not mean any real improvment in game play but simply game fixs related to bad grafics or even not being able to play the game.

    I could go into grafics and imagry but quiet frankly I can't be bothered. I will let the gw fans chew on what I have to say. Let me warn you thow, I tend to be vicious when I am in this state and I will simply tear your comments apart if you do not watch what you say. Such as "URRRR gw is better Urrr".< show of lack of intelegence and cheap bastard as he can't actaully aford any of the better games fee's.

    LOL! absolutly such a cock 4.

    The comments below are design to strike back at all the stupid comments I have read in the last 24 posts, I did not bother eading back further as it seemed the integent rateing seemed to decrease the further I went back. Also They are simply stating facts about the limitations of the game.

    LOL, the grafics are preaty good in the screenshots but if you look at the ingame trailers, LOL! they fail to reach any form of good standards. As for  the skill system, you gotta be kiding me screw 45 conbinations, there are 4 spells or abilities for each class and there are only a couple of classes LOL! talk about shot life span. I will wait to play the game before I insult it further, however I don't see this game haveing a very long attention span game life. People will play it for a couple of moths then leave it for half a year and come back and play for 2 months.

    p.s I dare someone to come up with a better argument, I am bord right now so give me you best, next post will be a list of questions that will be a real eye opener for you guys.

    And tu_uilwen , did not know you posted else where, nexttime when people are posting like this you should let me know. I will shove all the facts down there throught in away they will never forget and maybe idoit like this will disapear. LOL!

    What no reply from the idoits that said owwww guild wars is so good, you got two people insulting you fav game in here, you not going to do anything about it. Wellllll!!!! Hum.. guess you can't really fight back with ovious information given to you. I was actaully hoping you guys would come up with a valid, argument. I guess I will check the topic tomorrow as you guild war suppourters seem to lack the knowlege to argue points for the game.

    WOW is SAME OLD SAME OLD

    GW is ORIGINAL

    Want an EQ clone with warcraft names? Play WOW

    Want an original, fun, cheap and technically spectacular game? Play GW

  • tu_uilwentu_uilwen Member Posts: 794

    Tiber I disagree....you need ot learn to argue your facts.....

    every MMORPG has the same elements...and all have different unique elements...

    like eq you only get a certain thing for the quest(s) you do....in wow you get to pick youe rewards..........

    in wow you get a unique mount dependding race....in eq you get a horse or one of those moon beasts..............

    and there are other things about that WoW has that is gonna make it awsome.....I jsut don't see why everyone is flaming WoW or EQ2 because you can just play GW and WoW or EQ2....considering GW will have no monthly fee.....

    The only reason why people will buy WoW is because WarcraftIII is so popular. I doubt it will make a good RPG. Warcraft shoud stay at stratagyimage

    Tu_wana you really to nice, if it was me, I would lose my temper when reading this and have ago at them.

    Tiberiux do you research, and as punishment for not I will now inform you of you ignorant and stupidity. The fact that you called it a eq clone is now ovbious that you don't know jack shit about wow.

     

    1>Different quests based on story plot of warcraft:fronzen frone. The game play is based on the story line quiet deeply and all quests are somehow linked to the main story line. Also there are some quests liek deadmines or terisils forrest that are simply mini stories that you play out. Very cool thow, like stealing from theaves for saaveing the princess from the frogbogs I think.

     

    2>Mounts, transport and traveling, well lets put it this way, there are mnore mounts and metods of transpot with eq and eq2 put togeather and I insist you count, there are all methodes of transport and types of transports. You wana go by air, they have zeplines(blipms, aircrafts) and hypogrifins and wingbats(not therew actaul name, can't remember how to spell it) and a few night elf things. Ya wana go by boat feel free, ya wana swim go, you wana portal just get a few friends togeather and cast it. There are so many ways to get around I don't know where to start.

     

    3>Hero system, reputation and threat. You actaully can become a hero in this game, a certified recognised champiuon of the people, you get a reputaion for you deads throught quests and if you done them in specific good ways your reputation will go up an the quest npc's will treat you differently. Threat, certian spells and attacks cause threat which means that the paladin will not simply get attacked because he is attacking but the suppour priests will be heavily hattacked because he generates more threat throught healing. The AI ststem for mobs is a few hundred times better.

     

    4>do you really want me to continue because I am more than willing on telling you how many game differences there are and how wow of warcraft is better than eq.

     

    And in concluding I make this statment of opion, WOW is better then eq and gw.
    Play how you want and what you want, but the next time you bash my fave game, becarefull to state facts not crap that shows your lack of intelegence.

    I will judge with my own two eyes when eq2 comes out and wow come out weather which one is better as I am only human and that is all I can do. Play what you want, how you want but please watch what you say about other games you have not chosen.

    ROFL

    P-L-E-A-S-E

    Mention significant differences which are not just content.

    I'm not saying WOW content is innovative. But certainly the tech is nothing original.

    Old school gamers will recognize blizzard's originality in games like War2 and Diablo.


    What we wanna know is "WHERE HAS THAT ORIGINALITY GONE?"

    Starcraft Ghost? ROFL

    WAR3? ROFL

    and now WOW?

    Gimme a break.

    Get your own facts straight and learn to read my posts.

    I have posted many times why WOW will be a very successful game.

    All you WOW content fan-boys just prove that is what you are by your own words. I've been an avid blizzard fan since War2 on heat.net and kali. But I can realise perfectly well that Blizzard has lost its focus on making quality original products and has shifted to maximising products and making un-original quality games with their trademark names (i.e. war3, SC Ghost, and now WOW).

    Where is Starcraft2? More people play SC/BW than ROC/TFT

    Gimme a break

    Umm.. guess you did not read your own post while writing or you did not notice the dumb as comments you have made. I have high lighted the information I was commenting about. Not to comment on your new comments I will qoute that post as well. Please read like you say, I attacked the comments you made with information. Please do the same as you have simeply said crap that really is not a defense to the position you have made.

    You might want to read the entire thread before coming in on page 20+ and starting to post in an ON-GOING conversation.

    Once again, all your "counter arguments" are contest based. Obviously if I say WOW is an EQ2 clone I'm not talking about content.

    This much should be obvious to anyone - even someone who has just read the last few pages of the thread.

    For all intensive purpouses I have removed the crap at the top of your last post as I am just trying to optimize my text. I have also colour coded my comments if you find it difficult to follow which comment I am attacking as you have already shown you incapacity to do so.

    I would first call you many names, but since you have not released the irony in you statment I will inlighten you. I mentioned things that have not been done before such as underwater quests or so on an you are telling me where the inovation has gone. Sorry I may have worded this incorrectly. I mean, they write up a story for god sake and you telling me that it's not inovative. I admit that it's not super new. But If you have noticed, that was the whole point, it is supous to follow the story plot of the warcraft3:frozen frone title, what did you want, for them to change the freaking original story, maybe chucking them into space is what you wanted. I don't know may be make them elite commandoes fight world terrorist. If you have not also noticed, eq was not original as many freaking games where made like that at the time. Are you now going to tell me that guild wars does not follow the knights in shining armor motif. Not only that you lack the integence to notic that guild war only inovative thing is the fact that it's leveling system is different. Alpha testers are saying the game is crap because of all that system brings with it.

    So to supurise you would prefer a crap game that in inovative that uses a system with somany flaws in than a well goog playable game that runs on a type of system that everyone that plays mmorpg's for. Hummm.... That seems stup[id to me but I guess you did not really think about it. There inovation happens to be in the fact that in the mmorpg they are doing stuff no other mmorpg has done before. As I have proven. In the information I have given.

    I would have to say they have been good at what they do, they changed a rts into a very well structured rpg. Not to mention there titles are seqauls but how many seqauls can you name are actaully better than the original. How many! really boy I  have to ask you. Also in there defense they are switching genra,s they could come up with a new story, I don't know maybe a new world, or something with a couple of planet destroying creatiures and so on but, well in there defense I would have to say Guild wars is not adsactly original is it, the only new thing is the leveling system. There is no craft system to speak of and well, even the alpha player put it quiet well, what the hell is with the gems. You are defending a game that has major flaw, does not offer more or most of the options that other rpg games offer and all you can do is insult another game. No I think you should give me a break! Ow come one, look at the story line even, how many freaking fantasy rpg's start there story line with "after a corupt time,bla bla bla great war you are called to pure this land of all evil". Come off it, tell me good sir where is the orginality in that.

    Lets just compare there so called originality shall we with other games.

    http://www.guildwars.com/lore/default.html

    http://www.lineage2.com/background/legends.asp

    (lost everuest2 link for story, if you can post please do)

    Humm.. there story line seems to be preaty much the same does'nt it, are you going to now bullock guild wars for that you cretion. please where is ncplays origionality or should I say ncsoft huuu... or are you going to bullock everquest2. LOL! you reall dug you own hole, please continue digging.

    You plum, I have got my facts straight, you should learn to read your own posts. As for reading all you past posts, I have only read up to 21 sorry but I can go back further as it bores me extreamly to read stupid comments.

    Like I am going to argue with you about that, I did not attack that comment and useing that to help you postion is not really help it's back tracking.

    Humm... I am very objective I feel as I have said I will give everquest2 and wow a fair chance, I will buy wow and my friend will play it and he will buy everquest2 and I will play that. (obvoiusly in out spare time) So as to being a fan boy, I can't deny, as to being objective, I have stated in my last freaking 2 posts ago I can't saying anything about everquest2 as it's not out and the alpha for guild wars is shit. Argue that point, you seem to be loseing every where else.

    As for ghost and so on, I don't really car, the story for that has never really intrested me enought, but then again that story is better then. The last surving races are bading togeather to clense this land of evil. LOL! Your arguements basic structure is laughtable, you are argueing that blizzard has not released games with different stories, not originality. LOL! And if you are doing that you should take alook around you mate, all the games that are being rleased are all sqauls. Qauke4, coom3 half-life2, Prince of persia2, Unreal3, thief dealy shadows, everquest2. Should I go on or is that enought for you.

    When you read abook like that and get drawn into it, or see a movie and love it, you so going to see the next one so what's you problem, you don't just tell Steven Spealburge to make the next Star Wars different and change the god dame content, thats just stupid.
