teambff Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 don't forget about this: "join us in the Wayfarer Foothills in the norn lands for a special Beta Weekend Event finale, tonight at 11:00 p.m. PDT." should be interesting to see what happens.

Cellotlix Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I suspect after a few more GW2 beta events, the bloom will be off the rose. People cheering about the 'revolutionary' combat system and 'dynamic' events will be as bored as I was after a weekend. I guess we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChazDoit Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Let's see, where to begin... Seems kind of a dishonest review. so, no flaws? that's what you're saying? So, gw2 worlds are "Living" worlds just because some NPCs walk around? Dynamic events? I already did Public Quests back in 2008 with Warhammer WvWvW? yeah, I already banged on a Keep Door for 20 minutes back in 2008 with Warhammer Anything "new" that guild wars 2 brings to the table?

It's funny because despite your opinion about those things, SWTOR doesn't have any of them. You're telling me you like the fact that NPC's stand around, motionless, waiting in hallways for you to come along and kill them? You like running up to a static NPC, listening to some chatter, and running off to collect 10 alien fingers? Although Dynamic Events are just a mask for questing, at least ANet tried to do something new. It's more than banging on a Keep door, you obviously don't know how to work Siege equipment. And if you read what I wrote, I said several times that it's far from perfect. Should probably quit being such a fanboy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spne Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Also, it seems that GW2 decided to copy something from SWTOR: Ability delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's NOT new! funny how people flame Bioware for beign a "wow clone" but Anet is praised for copypasting Mythic (which is now a part of Bioware) so technically Anet is beign praised for copying Bioware. It's more than banging on a Keep door, you obviously don't know how to work Siege equipment. Im just saying what I saw on the stream, I watched several hours of GW2 gameplay before I came up with my opinions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkulous Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 It looks like a modern day MMO. I still enjoy playing WoW. I fully enjoy playing SWTOR (which will increase tenfold with LFD). I'm sure if I played Guild Wars 2 I'd enjoy that too but I'm at my limit at the moment. I didn't see anything in this Beta that blew me off my office chair and gave me reason to delete everything off my harddrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLightningLord Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Also, it seems that GW2 decided to copy something from SWTOR: Ability delay. I noticed no Ability Delay, except for a few lag spikes causing it here and there due to the influx of players. Did you actually play the game? Because in this thread you said you haven't played GW2 and you don't plan to. If you played this weekend, it means that you pre-purchased the game. So which is it? Did you play it, or are you just a SWTOR fanboy spreading falsities? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalkingDinosaur Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Actually happens. I had to kill rats and clean the forge in a quest. In the other i had to gather food for baby bears, and in the other i had to clear oil from the river. Looks like some of the SWG devs got into the GW2 team...

CrunkShizzle Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 - The lack of abilities is shocking. i guess im a minority in not liking games with a truckload of abilities.which is my major issue with swtor.classes just have way to many abilities to not have macros,but i guess bioware thinks everyone likes binding half there keyboard with hotkeys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinaed Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Looks like some of the SWG devs got into the GW2 team... Are you talking about that quest in SWG were you had to kill the womp rats for there brains or something like that when you first start the game?

ChazDoit Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 So let me get this straight. You didn't actually play the game, and yet you're forming opinions and spreading those opinions around as fact. Without actually playing the game. Yeah, ok. Lets get this straight, It is a FACT, that I saw people banging on a door for 15-20 minutes, last night it is a FACT that Mythic came up with Public Quests before Anet it is a FACT that Mythic had 3faction pvp back in the days of DaoC So yeah, while some things are fresh, they are not new or revolutionary in anyway.

kashaun Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 So let me get this straight. You didn't actually play the game, and yet you're forming opinions and spreading those opinions around as fact. Without actually playing the game. Yeah, ok. This thread seems to be full of that. Next beta event people need to just spend the weekend playing. I was pretty certain I wouldn't like SWTor, but I followed the development anyway to get facts rather then speculate, then gave it it's fare shake when it went live. I don't like this game, but I gave it a chance and tried out all of it's content and mechanics. I definitely wouldn't lie and not play it but say I did and spread around a bunch of false information, that's just childish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skygon Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 So let me get this straight. You didn't actually play the game, and yet you're forming opinions and spreading those opinions around as fact. Without actually playing the game. Yeah, ok. I have played the beta, and i agree with that. GW2 is literally a copy and paste of warhammer online, Even the contribution system on the dynamics events looks like the same system of warhammer. And the worst thing about this is that people really believe that Gw2 is new and innovative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FACT: You saw one instance of people (who probably didn't know what they were doing) banging on a keep door for what seemed to you like 15-20 minutes. FACT: I never claimed that Mythic didn't. As a matter of FACT I said it was nothing original and reminded me of Warhammer in the first point of my post. FACT: What does this have to do with anything? I never claimed that Mythic didn't have that in DAoC, I played DAoC. What point are you trying to make here? It's obvious that you don't know what you're talking about, and I don't consider someone who watched another person play a video game on an internet stream a credible source for an opinion on said game. So I'll just end the argument now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
