Article: Guild Wars 2 to be the Next King of MMOs?

[kickasskid54]

I see a lot of MoP is awesome posts in here and so far it is, but just like Cata started off as fantastic xpac, so is MoP. We don't know if Blizzard will continue the Xpac off well, or if this one will end up just like the last. Maybe they do need a couple years of work do produce 3-4 months of good content.

As for GW2, I have not played it yet, though I have an account. I did play in some of the betas and it was good, though not nearly immersive enough for me, not like the first day I played WoW, where I had a whole world around me with so much to do. GW2 doesn't feel like that, though it brings some good concepts to the gaming market. From the responses I've heard on the game, it's really hit or miss, you either love it, or it was just an attempt to dethrone WoW.

As far as the next MMO, I don't think that will come without new technology, something like the Occulus Rift, where you might actually feel like the world is around you and not just in front of you, that's what will kill WoW and bring the player base to a new game, because right now, although WoW has fallen from it's graces a good bit, it is still the best MMO out there.

I played GW2, and I have a capped character.

PVE gear is pointless, beyond looks. The only things to do out there are all to get better gear - there are no 'side quests', which is my issue.

PVP is completely imbalanced and not a single thing has been done to fix this.

With nothing to do except get different looking gear, pvp which has no form of balance, and a tightass team that threatens perma bans on thousands of players for their own mistake in the first week of the game, I have a lot of trouble justifying playing again.

Fix PVP, Give us something to do in PVE, and show you won't be tightasses in the future - I'd love to play again. I really did enjoy the game, I just ran out of things to do so swiftly, it was mildly depressing.

Seriously, ppl still play GW2? or GW2 sold like 10M already??????? i don't understand

MMO is based on community, so i really don't understand of this post

I liked GW2, I still log in fro time to time ever since they've released the mac version. But to be honest, as soon as MOP was released I could care less about GW2, I dropped my character there and started leveling my hunter. Oh and another thing, I'm a big fan or pets/minipets/mounts, well, like many girls are. But my collector's soul wasn't quite satisfied by what GW2 offered, and did I mention the storage system? On one hand it's rather handy, but on the other hand - paying real money for additional bank tab or bag slot? No, thank you.

Maybe if Guild Wars wasn't so boring it could be

I try'd GW2 but it's just not doing it for me.. i just don't like how it looks compared to wow, i try'd all mmo's when they where released and playing wow since 2500 and before that warcraft.

I like GW2 it actually has what Blizz doesn't....Story.... when i leveled 1-80 i never grinded for anything and actually saw story even with my friend we took different paths I Charr him Norn and toward the end our story's collided but were still able to take different paths. so the only thing that was the same was the last boss. unlike WoW 1-10 is different for all races but 11-endgame is the same shit... btw i played WoW since vanilla but stoped after Randa Beta when i was able to leave Pandaria. sadly im stuck with the game cause i opted in on the diablo3 thing

sadly the only thing left between me and wow is exploitation stuff till i get banned lol (not trying to get banned)

Funny you should mention that. Have you heard of Ultima Forever? It sounds like its going to be pretty kickass.

I don't think GW2 is going to be the King even with the "AHMAGAD" graphics. I bought GW2, played first few days of its release and it didn't appeal to me. Yes, graphics are good but I didn't like the class fighting system and mechanics.

So no, people don't quit GW2 for WoW only for "24 vs 1 Heroic stuff". Oh it's 25 by the way. They go back to WoW for other reasons too.

And if GW2 can't beat "a shitty game with 2004 graphics ", no need to get so angry about it.

lol~i just love wow, and QW2 is getting hotter now, but it canno bring me the enjoyments as the wow will do...:P
