    CORPG... not MMORPG... but somehow i really wish for them to open up the exploration areas to EVERYONE to make it MMO... and leave the missions as Co-Op

    Yeah i love this game too... I think that eventually theyll be some open zones for exploration with mobs where people can go forming groups or not forming groups... Hopefully with some pvp too it would be cool to have different 8 man groups running around competing to kill things in an arena type battle that has high lvl mob in it too... Maybe not for retail but definitly the first expansion they will add something like that i hope .

    Guild wars sucks. You cant go and level by yourself, you must be in a party all the time and why must you take a mission every time you are going to level somewhere? Its no fun at all.
    + That if you are in a party you got very very little exp so you dont level fast,.
    I was in level 5 and i should have like 5000-10000 exp i think before i could have an level up, and you get like 160 if you go by yourself wich you cant do because you die all the time you go by yourself.

    So Guild wars sucks ALOT!.

    I'm the cutest.

    And i forgot to tell that you can just have 4 skills per proffesion and your are 2 proffensions on the same time so you can only have 8 skills.

    I'm the cutest.

  • crooxcroox Member Posts: 5

    Obviously Korven you haven't gone out to exploreable areas. Did you even know that you can get from Ascalon to basically any town or mission places just by walking? And about the skills, what makes GW special is the fact that you have to plan out what skills to use... the reason for 8 slots... but you can learn many (too many some say). You have a main class and a sub class... of course your main class is more powerful... you have to choose which skills you want to use, INTELLIGENTLY... does this feature hurt you somehow?

    With regards to experience gain, I really thought GW was too easy on the subject. I thought I leveled too fast compared to other games I played. The fact is, leveling is not the main focus the game wants to bring out... its player skill. You have to know which skills to bring in battle... you have to find out which combo is the best (I was a ranger and FavorableWinds+Tonguebiter+ApplyPoison+PrecisionShot were great combos to use against any spellcasters... great help for the team). This works on monsters as well... you have to set you skill to whatever specialy you want to play as. If you want to focus against spellcasters, you set your skill to that... same goes to when you want to focus on tankers. Yes, leveling has some great pluses (HP+Energy), but having those pluses won't get you anywhere if you don't have tactics.

    I am not defending the game because I just want to... it's because I want you to know what you have missed out.

    Since everyone is posting about whether or not guildwars is tha bomb let me post its good points and bad points!

    PROS

    * No such thing as kill stealing (instance base zones eliminates this)

    * Items are dropped at random by the monsters meaning no worries about anyone stealing your items

    * Missions give the same if not more of a sense of a real mmorpg style storyline

    * Games graphics are beautiful, lets face it...WoW's graphic fit the world but are not cutting edge.

    * Streaming technology is awesome, there are some loading times but anyone on DSL or cable should be fine.

    * PVP rocks! No durability loss, no stealing your money, no stupid crap! Just people fighting against people

    * YOU CAN SOLO! Amazing but a lot of games get to a certain point and you can solo no longer. SCREW FFXI

    * Each class leads to a new path. With mixing and matching of classes it leads to a new path or a new build which is really fun!

    * The map! The map makes travel easy! No longer will I have to walk for 2 hours just to get somewhere. This game assumes you do it! DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Really hard concept huh. Amazing no other games thought of it.

    * Very little if no downtime spent healing or regaining mana.


    CONS

    * Bland storyline that seems to be getting better which each new event.

    * Dial up has a chance of playing this game but I would recommend trying to load as many missions alone! So that you get the preloaded time out of the way before trying it with others. I can't even name the amount of times we had someone on dial up get left behind (who would catch up of course but we might be half way through the mission)

    * No real side skills. Nothing like fishing, or tailoring, or smithing. Maybe in other supplements not right now.

    * Not a very friendly trading system. There is no auction houses or ways you can just leave your character on AUTO and let people broswer your goods.

    * Total instance based. Everything outside of most towns is instance based so if this really annoys you then stay away.

    * With the FREE per month price tag people are worried that any little kid is going to get a hold of it and we will have a ton of stupid players. I say let it stand even kids have rich parents who can buy them World of Warcraft so its really no different.

    * Doesn't consume a lot of time. Missions go by fairly quickly which leave me to believe the game could be completed in a little over a month or two of time. Could be wrong since we haven't seen all the missions and they keep releasing more and more.


    That's my take. Might help some. Might not.

    I was in the last open trial, it looked great. My freinds from Team speak where ahead of me though, cuase they started before me.

  • -v-sonix-v-sonix Member Posts: 24
    yeah the game looks great by what you said and the screenshots and stuff but what you said about many stupid players not many ppl like playing MMORPG's so if they are smart thet dont buy it and yeah its free but that the good part about i'm hoping this will change the view of MMORPG's that they can be for freeimage

    This game will be a change for the better in the long run...It has its flaws like every other game but its not a final release yet. Its new and refreshing and if the company can hold true to its promises and goals for the game, it will become big. So far one of the biggest things they need to look at is the chat system, trading, the limitations to exploration areas(give the possibility to chose a district like in town with respawn for the dead enemies) and the fact that we can't go off the side of a not very high ledge(add jumping). People need to give the game a real chance...its a new concept...
