The lack of quests in Guild Wars 2 is the thing, why I can’t have it as my No.1 MMO. It feels so much less meaningful. I love WoW‘s quest hubs, picking up all the different quests, getting outside the town, going in one big circle while completing them, coming home with everything succeeded and getting the rewards. I like that little loop.
Open world would be a lot more boring. I remember trying to level a holy priest or a prot warrior in WoW back in the day... Never. Again. GW2 is not all about raids and strikes and fractals. In fact, the number of people actually doing those to the exclusion of open world is minimal. Its just content creators that really focus on them and make them seem more important in the game. GW2 is balanced more around open world and wvw.
Haven't seen much talk about the warclaw stuff yet probably because they haven't focused on it in the marketing. But I do like this idea of upgrading and then reselling them in new expansions is good, makes existing content better and fresh, makes mounts more accessible. I kinda expect the 5 from PoF to be off-limits because if you make *every* main mastery feature of PoF available elsewhere it's sort of bad practice and cannibalizes their own expansion. I do think roller beetle can absolutely get this treatment though, I'd love a plains or desert again expansion (something with wide open spaces) where you can race around on it and give it more attention than before
This game actually still has a huge thriving community and somehow the value of its gold is still very strong, and recently went way up. Only downside is it's impossible so the poor and rich are divided more than ever. No one in the world is end-game, not even close. Somebody told me someone offered him $17,000 for a seal of the extreme upgrade 7 on his sword. Not even the sword, just a transferrable seal of the extreme upgrade.
What do you even mean at 4:35? Programs that increase visuals? What do you mean by that and you gave no examples not even a link to the video you reference?
I started playing when bc came out. I stopped playing in 2013 MoP. I was bored last week and decided to check in and see. I created a free character and I was disappointed. The game is easier compared to what I went through back in the days. Buying a mount at level 10 🤯😂. I also discovered that I can't see my character unless I pay. That sucks... I left my toons at level 90... Last thing I noticed was there's no one around. The realm I was in is dead.
From the perspective of someone who doesn't play GW2: regarding the beneficial orbs that didn't seem necessary, perhaps they're an important mechanic at higher difficulties of this fight? That way they're being introduced while the stakes are lower, but still teaching the player what their purpose is.
Orbs are used to improve players' raw statistics. Each color is related to a type of role ( damage, dot, support and healer). The fight is not long if you only take the correct ones for each player because they allow you to upgrade significantly. On the other hand, if you take all colors together the fight becomes long and boring as Chris well says. The more you get it wrong the more boring the fight becomes.
Would definitely prefer at least 5-10 more years of gw2. Honestly would prefer they just make a completely different kind of game after gw2, not another MMO...
Faster, less time spend levelling, more and quicker access to end game content, you go and move with the current story-line - wow retail More time levelling, grind-y, leaning back and enjoying the journey - wow vanilla More time levelling, grind-y, leaning back and enjoying the journey, but funnier - wow vanilla sod Expansions progress, old story-line, still with a slower pace of levelling than retail, but less social contact than vanilla - wow classic cata
@@athenais1999play cata classic, it's basically classic wow with a few quality of life improvements and the re-launch of this expansion is actually better than it was initially over 10 years ago
yeah its time, because content has been stale and repititive for years now hopefully in gw3 they dont make fixed weapon skills and let us theorycraft a bit more like we did in gw1
I made a lvl163 force blader. I think the baddest thing in the game was my finisher as a force blader where I summoned a circle and mashed my blade into the circle finishing you off as you froze because the game already calculated your death before my moved finished it’s animation 🙂 and the bad ass motorcycle mount!!!!!
oh, I would not want to be in the shoes of the decision makers. 10 years is a good point to start considering because of engine and graphics updates but outside that it is a nightmare gamble: Do you build up the story/plotline and run the risk of alienating new players or go for new and risk alienating current players. Do you keep the same design choices and limit your dev creativity or run the risk of flopping with some new designs. Do you eve have the budget to split your team and keep the current version engaging enough as not to lose players? (I will have to try this game at some point now that I have a better popoto)
GW3 is eventually coming, whether people want to believe it or not. The fact there's a GW2, should be more than enough evidence, then you mix in the fact that more elite specs aren't being introduced is what seals the deal. This company has the luxury of being able to do this and GW2 is over a decade old. What they're going to do next, couldn't tell you, maybe actually make an MMO with a dungeon finder that involves the trinity to compete with other Triple A games would be a good start. The group finder they have is a dated system, and I understand why they did it, tank and heal specs weren't their concern. But if there were a company out there that could overtake the king, the king being WoW, this is the company that could do it. Blizzard's reign has to end some year. lol You pretty much hit on the points I was typing up as I was listening to you, other than the elite specs. There's plenty of room for improvement and part 3 would be just that.
Great conversation I love this content. Two things come to mind for me; does the sequel add a new chapter to the story or just small blossoms off old ideas and characters? Are there any new game features? Do they add to the spirit of the game story or water it down? Also, with emphasis, was this change used as an opportunity to monetize the game further or make it more pay to win? Were micro transactions or micro subscriptions added? Do they affect f2p viability at all? Zero tolerance should be the norm here. I’m fairly new to gw2 I’m a filthy casual as well proudly and I hope this beautiful visual peaceful vibe inducing game keeps thriving.
Charge can't be avoided since person targeted is stunned. Everyone else should avoid it though. I got targeted by it but easily survived it. Last boss' big "sucking to middle" attack almost caused me to get heart attack. Was a bit late to react which caused me almost being sucked to middle. Getting pulled -> Oh no! I'm going to die! -> run Forrest run! -> Oh no! Getting pulled again. Which then repeated until I got behind rock where rest of team was watching.
i agree with ur overall take except that you said they should make the shop integrated with the game/better or whatever. Nah - i want the shop to be as remote as possible and not integrated at all. I play ffxiv and im very happy that the store isnt even accessible from the game
That's fair! I think it is really good that they are experimenting with the game more. It's a lot of fun to jump into for a few games. Thanks for watching :)
personally due to the extreme degree of 'take your time' advice........the Full Game is a trap and you shouldnt even consider it until you clear HW. Having that Sub hanging over your head while still finding your way through makes you feel like you need to rush
GW2 do be looking really ugly though. Everyone says gw2 has better graphics but it litteraly looks like ps3 game or even worse tbh. Blinding bloom and really baddle modles and fidelity
WoW died after WotLK. Thousands of hours sunk into that mediocre game just to try GW2 end of last year and feel great about it. I've played almost 1k hours of Lost Ark and hundreds of hours of ESO and I must say that the combat in GW2 is just superior. Hands down better. Story I would give to Warcraft, but that's OUTSIDE of the game. The in-game story as in how you are introduced to it and play through it I would give to ESO. In GW2 it seems like they actually value your time and effort instead of trashing your progress every expansion. Edit: PVP has been neglected for 15 years in WoW. Their attempt to balance is also a joke. I don't think this video gives a fair representation of the state of PvP in WoW in any of it's iterations.
If you like to pvp in mmos WoW is the way to go If you like PVE go guild wars2 it has pvp but anet sucks at balancing it and only cares about PVE content instead of everything.
I started with maple story, then I moved to battle on, that's called adventure quest now. Then moved to Runescape. Then I heard about fly for fun, the first game I played that introduced the "game playing itself" thing.
I just wanted to wish you a Happy New Year's and say that I always get excited when I see you go live or release a new video amd especially if I have the chance to server hop and protect you from getting attacked while you talk to NPC's for story lol 😂 Here's to another great year Csaw!🎉
Thank you for all the amazing videos and live streams this year. I really enjoy your channel and appreciate all the work you do for it. Happy new year csaw orcris!
You seem to have a very sound way of looking at your channel. Juggling it with a full-time job can't be easy, so it's nice to know you're focusing on doing what makes you happy rather than churning out content just to keep the sub number up. Merry after-christmas and a happy new year Csaw!
