knightblaster Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Some people have lives. People are spread out. My server is low pop but I actually look at the bigger picture not how many people are on a few planets at any given time. Every server has at least 500-1000 people online at 1 time. Use your eyes, stop feeding into the delusion bro. As has been pointed out many times, but there has been a shift change in the FUD crew, and now the new shift is here. More targets, really. Enjoy.

VenthiosLestaran Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Yep for those who do try GW2 and post on the forums they will see you complaining if that game doesn't live up to the hype you have placed on it. I'm sure they can't wait. It's funny seeing all this butt mad butt furious posts about how succesful TOR is. HUR I DON"T LIKE GAEM NO WAY 1.7 OTHER CAN LIKE! URRH ANGRY ME BASH KEY MAKE POST URRRR. I'm very glad for this reason that Arena net doesn't have their own forums. They've been actually really really forthcoming about information on their game, showing how it works in pretty good detail, as well as the changes they're making through the dev process, some of which has been really big when you think about what it means for the game itself like their energy system. You should check it out, if nothing more than to learn about what it has. I did, and was really surprised and happy. GW2 Guru forums are very nice and friendly.

iceperson Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) You realize Guild Wars sold over 6 million copies and is like the 8th best selling PC game of all time right? That doesn't sound right, you sure they didn't sell 10k of each of the 10k "expansions" they've released?

Jett-Rinn Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I was really hoping I wouldn't see a post like this. There is just No reason for it Russell. I mean, if the game drops off after a few month it drops off. The sub count is probably accurate for the time being and that's great. I was also wondering why there were so few people Everywhere I went during prime time with no available way to switch shards/instances. But, ending your post promoting GW2 is only going to sour people off the idea because of your ranting post. GW2 is looking like an awesome game yeah, but this isn't how it gains fans, only haters. I personally recommend anyone who's tired of gear grinding to look into it, that's how you promote that kind of thing, not by this. Yuck. Yeah actually Arenanet spoke on this at PAX..the developers are concerned the way many of GW2 fans are promoting the game; a couple fans in GW2 T-shirts were escorted out for screaming obscenities at the Bioware Booth. It's like Jeff Grubb said many so called fans are framing GW2 to be the next League of Legends community and that is absolutely the last thing Arenanet wants. I personally can't wait for GW2 I have had a lot of hands on time with it and it's great...But the so called GW2 zealots are giving the community a really bad name and that is going to end up hurting the game.

VenthiosLestaran Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 ok! lol, which one isnt? WoW? Well..SWTOR for one by the latest sub count. Naturally that may change for better or worse, but the data we have points to positive for this game's future, if we like to play it or not Russ.

These people are in for a stark shock when GW2 is nothing like GW1 in any way but lore/races and quality of gameplay. The system is completely different. ANet isn't making their game again, they're just using the IP. Personally I hope rabid foaming fools like that just, don't show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mekrath Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 That doesn't sound right, you sure they didn't sell 10k of each of the 10k "expansions" they've released? I believe the number does include expansions, but there are 3, not 1k It was successful enough to allow them to create Guild Wars 2. Regardless, it was definitely not a 'flop' as was claimed in the post I was responding to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learn to read quarterly earnings reports and listen to conference calls so that you don't make an absolute, unmitigated fool of yourself by failing to distinguish the time frames of information disclosed in these reports, as evidenced by your post here. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully Anet has let people demo both low level and High level content, not just 10 minutes of gameplay - but 40 minutes. Plus events. It's a Lot for them to show off so freely and allow people to get their hands in at the conventions. Their experiences have been very positive.

Not really, if an endgame could keep me hooked for years, like DAOC did, I would be more than willing to continue funding it. But, come on... 3 warzones , and random bag system will not hold water for more than 1 month. See the populations for your self, no more queues for american servers, any of them barely reaches very heavy for 30 mins anymore. MMO community is tired of WoW clones, you can rera it everywhere.

VenthiosLestaran Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I think this describes hard core fans of any game though. In a way Mekrath, but when people start screaming Obscenities? It's too far. ANET damn's these people just as much as any rational person or company would. With as much as GW2 is being looked at, these fan's are going to stand out. Unlike say SWTOR's fanboys who defend defend defend. These irrational people go on the attack, and it looks bad. I haven't seen many cases of fans screaming obscenities at cons.
