Torothin Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) Are you playing this game just to pass the time until GW2 goes live? I like SW as much as the next guy but I am noticing a trend here. Also, there is no risk/reward factor here. Do you really consider yourself a PvPer in this game because when you die you do not lose anything? Discuss!

Rykzon Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) The trend on this forum is not reflective of reality. no competetive oriented pvp player will stick to this game. Its not a bad game, but the pvp part is too casual. Edited January 26, 2012 by Rykzon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingKuli Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 For me it was mostly the timefiller till Diablo3 comes out, but in the moment I am very happy with the Game and I wouldnt directly leave it for D3, but I am also wating for GW2 just for the Reason that u can be able to play a game just the PvP way, as I heard. So You maybe wont need to quest but just play massive PvP... that would be awesome. But to make a Point: I Like Swtor and the PvP Gameplay as well. Should fix some bugs and lagg issues and everything is fine for me.... but I am chilled about games and their balancings etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgemattson Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Nope. Can't explain why, though. The short time I played GW, I thought it was a really well put together game and I liked the fact that there was no monthly subscription involved, IIRC. Logically, it really should have been my type of game. Ditto with GW2, and who knows? Maybe I'll try it sometime. But for whatever reason, GW left me cold and I never bothered to play it beyond level 20 or thereabouts. It just seemed really dry and boring to me. SWTOR, otoh, seems much more "alive" and interesting. Plus it has lightsabers! Seriously, though; I'm a sucker for Star Wars related content.

Orangerascal Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) One thing that GW2 is doing right that has a lot of guilds in a state of nerdvana. Rated WvWvW. If you win, you challenge a higher rated shard on the next WvWvW rotation (every two weeks). The world on top has the biggest bragging rights. This is a nerdgasm for pvp guilds that don't pvp for epics. Edited January 26, 2012 by Orangerascal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalnar Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) are you serious?... Absolutely. What MMO has full corpse looting in open pvp ? and what MMO has pvp system where skill > gear ? Edited January 26, 2012 by Dalnar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torothin Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 Absolutely. What MMO has full corpse looting in open pvp ? and what MMO has pvp system where skill > gear ?

Guild Wars was my first MMO (to me it is an MMO because I did the same things I do in every other MMO) I can honestly say it was the best put together class system and pvp system combined, unfortunately after 2 years any game will get dry so I moved on from there.

Dogfatherxx Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 If I only played this game for PVP, I woul have left a while ago. Luckily, it has other things to offer than a marginally fun and rewarding PVP system. Not sure what I will do when other games become available.

Aghar Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 no competetive oriented pvp player will stick to this game. Its not a bad game, but the pvp part is too casual. If you were actually competition oriented you would be playing guild wars. Competition built into the game from day 1. Able to be max level from the start, no gear grind (gear cap is easy to reach) skill based ability choices (you can only bring in 8 skills so team comp is very important). Nobody who is actually interested in competition plays a gear based grind fest pve centric game to find their "competition" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sykologist Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Protip: It's not like GW1 Nah, I heard the PVP starts with everyone in full gear. If that's the case, I'd simply go play League of Legends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
