Zepla realises there are Other MMOs watching Josh Strife Hayes 

It amuses me how some of these WOW / FF14 folks immediately turn their noses up at GW2 when anyone dares to put it on-par with their game of choice. Like, bruh.

Ridiculous use of a coffee cup as a gimmick <stares in bunny ears>

I love how Zep proves Josh's point on emotionally driven answers

You are too biased

I am perpetually heartbroken over how overlooked guild wars 2 is. Criminally underrated.

Zepla is having way too much fun at the fact that Josh never mentioned WoW 🤣

I had to stop part way through. This guy is way to handsome and the accent. Dangerious.

I LOVE Guild Wars 2! I found it so much more enjoyable than WoW because it rewarded me for doing something that WoW punished me for and that was exploration. When I first played WoW I wanted to explore the world of Azeroth, and so from the Blood elf starter zone I tried to sneak through all the zones as a rogue to get to the main cities, I quickly learnt that higher level mobs can see through your stealth and will not hesitate to kill you. Guild Wars 2 however, rewards players for exploration through really big experience gains. There are vistas which are the GW2 equivalent of /lookouts, jumping puzzles that are built into the world that give different rewards, and my favourite which was a big chunk of experience for fully exploring an area and doing the quests in it. You really feel encouraged to explore the world of GW2, its relaxed but world bosses were exciting, it also was the first mmo to give me some sort of story experience though I think FF14 really nails that aspect. Overall, I'd encourage anyone to try GW2 out it's really great :)

chat is toxic for nothing about osrs

Ahhh, reading the chat here when Josh talk about other MMO is like reading Asmon's chat before he play FFXIV, every fan have their bias.

should retitle this to "Zepla getting personally attacked for 26 straight minutes"

I started GW2 just out Josh’s recommendation. Good guy.

Asmon:

Josh is 100% correct with his list.

Video should be renamed “girl has a mental breakdown from being told she has an addiction”

Guild Wars 2 saved me from WoW during BfA. GW2 was an old, friendly mmo which I played years ago, at the start, but never bought expansions and fell out of touch with the ongoing story. But when I went back, they had a big "Welcome back" event where they gave away the storychapters for free. So I completed the entire journey with my first ever character I made there years ago, I explored Tyria fully and never regreted it. My friend introduced me to her guild and they are amazing people, who we did fractals together. I still go back to GW2 time to time, beside finishing Shadowbringers. During covid, they fell behind with the development sadly, but I hope End of Dragons will give this game a well-deserved conclusion. Or... make it be reborn and starting a new chapter? Who knows :)

Funny thing is, Guild wars 2 actually does everything correct. Mounts, dyes, transmog etc. Other mmos including FFXIV could learn from it.

i like how she actually proved Josh's point when it comes to emotionally driven answers. Josh is always on point!

Zepla didn't expect this to be a psychiatric evaluation...

Josh: You should never ask internet or you will get an emotionally driven answer
