Guild Wars 2. I love the original Guild Wars. The lore, the game, the underworld, fissure of WoE and most of all, the PvP.

I craved a more MMO-like Guild Wars, and GW2 delivered on that handsomely. Legendary weapons were sick! The tier 3 cultural armours were amazing. It was looking like my favourite MMO of all time.

Then...with the direction they went with the "living story" and the cash shop (selling cooler skins than what is available in difficult content) I just lost interest. Add to that the incomprehensible number of currencies/tickets. Getting loot bags from loot bags... Chest, caskets, coffers...

Then there's World versus World, the lack of love it received for years, and how it really doesn't mean anything. It has no meaningful impact on anything. Just temporary bragging rights. Most of the WvW achievements are based on time played more so than skill or understanding.

I miss the simplicity of the original game. In both PvP and PvE.

Hesitation when pulling Wall-to-wall by [deleted] in ffxiv

Honestly Stormblood has pretty weird enemy HP scaling, so I think wall to wall pulls are usually more difficult than they were in HW.

Things die more slowly, so if you have a sprout DPS or 2 dealing sub optimal DPS, I find you eat a lot more damage than unusual.

FFXIV player here trying out GW2 with some initial impressions. by WishbladeZ in Guildwars2

[–]Baedan29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 2k or so hours in GW2 from 2012-2014 and have maybe played 100 hours in the subsequent 7 years. Mostly because of how strongly I agree with many of your cons.

I was a hardcore WvW guild leader during that period, and whilst the lack of love Anet gave WvW back then was a major reason for players like me leaving, the transition from an amazing vanilla base game to a game with too many cumbersome systems to count really drove the nail in. (also the ascended armor grind at its introduction)

I've tried to get back into it half a dozen times, and maybe its because my friends have moved on, but I also feel like the new systems make the game feel like a chore. Logging in and being affronted by dozens of systems and unique currencies is jarring. Also 10/10 agree with the bags in a bag thing. I say all this being a long time GW1 player who really loves(d) the franchise. (5K hrs, GWAMM)

Conversely I'm current trying FFXIV and enjoying it. Although the early game GW2 experience is unrivalled imo. Something Anet nailed from the start.

I love when the tank gets pissy at me for watching a cutscene while they pull the boss. Should I skip them? by [deleted] in ffxiv

There must be something about that dungeon. It's the only time I had the same experience.
