Guild Wars 2

[super_teabag]

Still worth it to pick up guild wars 2?

 

looking for a game to play mindlessly for hours

[Baghiz]

I'd say yes. It is amazing, stunning graphics and the best gameplay met in an MMORPG so far.

[MetalLobster]

Yes. The WvW is great and will take all your time. 

 

Give it a shot.

[mmracho]

Yeah! Spent a good 900+ hours on it LOL but I'm on a break right now cause' you know, there's school and stuff.

It's also better if you have a group of friends with you.

I stopped playing it after like 3 months, but before going on holidays a friend and I started playing again. The events on GW2 are really amazing, this last one was seriously fun. The only problem is that they're temporary and when I get back it'll probably be already over.

 

 

Anyway, if you like MMOs then pick it up. It may become a bit boring after you get to max level, but unless you play 8 hours a day and blow through the events in 3 days then you'll always have something interesting to do.

Sounds like the community is still strong, and that's what i was looking for. Yeah, I really enjoy some MMOs.

 

Is there a good source to get GW2 @ a decent price. or am i pretty much going to have to get GW2 at 50 dollars (us) solid

[iAsuno]

it was 60 dollars then they permanently dropped it to 50. 

but here: http://www.gamefanshop.com/partner-Pistol/

from teksyndicate at $46.99

It was fun, but I missed the way it was like back in GW1, which was way better IMO.

Check the Guild Wars 2 sight, i believe they have a trial weekend coming on or around August 23rd.

Bad camera = no buy for me

[kaneandtaker]

I quit after 2 months. IMO its not for casual gamers. Hardcore gamers might enjoy it.

From what I've heard, GW2 doesn't have that good an end game, and raiding in it is not very good, that said, you should get your money's worth even before reaching end game (not that I haven't played it)

pros

it's mechanics are different to other mmorpgs
dodge mechanics are awesome and you dont need mana, it's all cool down
simple mechanics will allow you to be able to master the game after a few hours
amazing art work
requires a LOT of team play (fun with friends)
free of excess charges (no monthly fee)
random in game events that challenges everyone in the area (eg. one skyscraper big boss vs everyone around you.)
if someone steals your kill, you will not half the exp with them. it just means the get the same amount of exp as you. (who ever fights the person first gets the loot)
you get exp for helping a fellow player
very customisable players
everyone has their own heals

cons
all classes are so equal to each other (one class vs another class has a 50/50 chance of winning)
no mounts (takes a while to travel unless you pay for teleportation.) (you cant teleport to an area where a boss is near the area of destination.)
repetitive game play.
there is no holy trinity (healer, tank, dps) meaning that there is no uniqueness in any of the classes, all characters are these 3 in the same time.
