I think the article misses one of the key elements of socializing in an MMO. It isn't about groups. It's about being deep in the midst of a hostile environment where you can't survive on your own, you can't escape, you've spent time and effort int…
Meh.
That's how I feel about this. The number one problem with GW2 is that it has no story and ANet is right to try and fix that. For all of the hype about background choices, they are meaningless. I wish them luck trying to add the "role" that …
The jokes were a bit contrived. Don't try so hard to be sardonic. I have a feeling it comes naturally to you anyway. Overall, I agree with the sentiment of the article. Exploration and imagination are in short supply in modern MMOs.
I gotta say, the PvE in GW2 is already great. The meta gear grind is terrible. The PvP is mediocre. I don't understand why they are "fixing" the one thing that is best the game. I guess - as many had warned me - it really is their goal to appeal…
I really hope they don't go for the GW2 RNG black lion keys crap. That's the second worst implementation of a cash shop I've ever seen. Just one step down from the cash shops that Perfect World Entertainment has been using for years... I think I …

No question, for me it's definitely DAOC. And if CSE's recent teaser is any indication, then DAOC 2 could be a real possibility. Even if it has to go by a different name (I'm not sure about the legal stuff and who act…
I'm hoping neverwinter is good. I couldn't get in to GW2. I just didn't like the way it played. I'll be playing mechwarrior online until something new comes along.
To be honest I don't even understand the crafting system in this game. Not that I've really tried to. But I'm glad I don't have to craft to stay competitive.
Originally posted by Dibdabs Elementalists are also a strategic character class, and if anyone thinks it isn't they're too stupid to play one.
Well at least that's better than being too stupid to read a thread before posting in it.

While I respect your opinions on elementalists, I won't be playing one because it isn't right for me. I want to find a profession closer to GW1 where every single skill slot is cruicial. I do not feel that the elementalist gives me that. I will tr…
That's probably the best review of GW2 I've ever seen. I keep calling it the pinball machine of MMO's but the theme park version of a fantasy MMORPG is good too.
Thanks for the great replies everyone.
There is a certain amount of strategy to the elementalist but it is a different sort than the GW1 elementalist (which I played a lot). How you build your character isn't actually that important in the case o…
I must have missed all the GW2 is doing poorly posts. Whenever a new MMO is released there is always a dump of players that don't like it leaving, talking crap about it. Most people don't care and don't care about posts like this eaither. GW2 doe…
