Is this a dead game?
>>330111968
doesn't matter, it's shit
>>330111968
Pretty much, most of the community moved to either Wildstar or Blade & Soul.

>>330112086

They fired Colin so maybe it will start getting good?
They boasted so much about their new challenging content coming out in the expansion and then the new raids and highest level of fractals were cleared day 1. Incredibly pathetic.
>>330111968
Fucking OK, i hate this game. Preordered it with group of friends. Played ranger day 1, we all pick separate classes to diversify. Go to group war feel useless as fuck do 0 damage cause ranger nerfed as fuck, but luckily two people of our group rolled thieves so when we roam they do all the work. Try multiple builds all weapons useless as fuck, squishy as fuck, pets useless as fuck fast forward 6 months get to max, get 1 of the legendaries(2 allowed per character wtf) but still useless. Main guild in server owns item market, constantly buying/reselling at mark up. On top of that same shit but every class buffed except thief and ranger, ??????, quit. Fast forward another 6 months rangers finally buff to not shit tier don't have care in the world. Fast forward 2 years they release expansion forcing everyone to basically buy the game again (free to play?) Fucking garbage game ruined by greedy corporate niggers and shit for brains balance team.
No.
it would have died 3-4 years ago if that was the case
sadly Guild Wars 2 is an example of a somewhat quality MMORPG this genre is truly shit
>>330112576
Gotta cater to the need of casuals.
>>330112576
So what normally happens with mmo's that release raids. ok
>>330112442
>try it out
>it feels like an unfinished half assed just-another-korean-mmo
What's so good about it again?
>>330112798
Please don't be delusional
>>330112857
You need to check your delusion, firned
>>330111968
I wanted a successor to GW1. They failed to deliver on the lore, flavour, narrative or game play.
And I still trucked through with it, only to discover the first MMO to lose content over time.
Fuck this game.
>>330112507
why?
>>330111968
Yeah, only 10-20 people really play it
>>330111968
serious question from someone who has raided/pvp in wow/ff14/etc.
is this games core gameplay good? As an mmo vet im interested in trying this game out but only if its really worth
>>330113062
That was before the expansion, it's really gone down hill since then, only 6 people play it.
>>330113225
Yeah but after it went F2P the player count dropped to about 3 because people hate playing MMOs for free.
>>330112847
it's an alright game for 10 hours
>>330113213
The core gameplay is great. Everything else is totally fucked.
>>330111968
Only Chinese and faggots play it. I know there are billions of Chinese and faggots but it's dead.
>>330113213

It's a streamlined piece of shit, not to mention all the classes are same and PvP is 0/10.
>>330112847
>>330113697
It's a decent MMORPG, something we haven't had since Burning Crusdade.
>>330113725
I'll go with this. The more action and movement oriented combat felt good but ANet didn't know how to balance or expand it.
I played alot on release, mostly out of GW1 loyalty, enough to make a handful of legendary weapons, and quit when I realized the company didn't know where they wanted the game to go. I tried HoT when it came out and when it was one shitty raid, four new maps, one underdeveloped PvP map, one way too convoluted WvW map, and like 10 story missions. The game lives on dies on the open world content but it felt like the same timeloop content magnified because there was so little of it for a fucking $60 release. Not to mention the class changes and Revenant were nerfed like 2 months after release and a lot of shit they advertised with HoT didn't come out with the game and six months later it's still not in sight (legendary armor and backpieces, more raids, and PvP expansions).
>>330114610
Second raid wing is coming out today.
>>330111968
It's extremely boring and stupid.
>>330114789
Well that's good news I guess. I try to keep up with the updates just out of some tired curiosity but that slipped my radar.
Oh and I'd like to point out how scummy ANet was with how HoT would be released and include the basegame as well as how badly they're overcharging on their cash shop items, the worst being "bundles" of 3 things you don't want and 1 thing you want but can't get otherwise without paying 3 times more than you'd want to.
If not dead right now, it's a dead game walking. They made a lot of terrible decisions in the expansion pack and aren't really showing any signs of walking them back or learning from their mistakes.
I expect the game will keep trucking along with dedicated cash shop customers and diehards for quite a while, though.
Y'know, it's weird. I defended its cash shop before launch, but the cash shop really did contribute to fucking up the game. It's amazing how much new content goes straight to the cash shop rather than being something you can earn through a new activity in-game--after all, why put in the effort to design some new gameplay when you can just take the art assets you made and sell them directly?
>>330112798
I haven't playd a MMO since the days of vanilla wow.
But i remember that it took some time to for the best guilds to clear nax. My guild never made it further then patchwork.
Heck, even that horrible bugg raid took longer then 1 day i think.
It was to much fanfic bullshit.
The fact that they gave an insane otherkin a jobb as a writer didn't help.
>>330111968
Its shit.
It has none of what made Guild Wars 1 good. It feels like a goddamn Korean F2P game. Even worse is the development team was taken over by a bunch of SJW faggots. I'm not calling them names to be nasty, they are literally SJW faggots. They care more about self inserting their own characters and gay romances than making a good game.
A mmo for furries and pedophiles.
>>330115457
So, just like every single MMO?
>>330115985
Yes but this one takes it on to another level.
>TFW you remember how good the original Guild Wars was
The mechanics were SO GOOD. It made WoW look like a total joke.
>>330116172
I still play it every once in a while, doing shit I never finished when it was active
Right now I'm vanquishing Tyria. Who the fuck thought Maguuma Jungle was a good idea?
So much fags here
WvW and pvp keep the thing alive
>>330116683
One thing I really liked is that they were alright with treating the game like a game. You could reallocate stats at any time and the stats were not simulating anything. Your character was like a Magic deck. None of that simulationist bullshit.
>>330116790
WvW..what a fucking joke. you mean zerk vs zerk and the bigger zerk wins. 5v5 is ok tho.
>>330111968
for some reason, no it is not. It was a decent game with alot of potential but it was fucked by having all the cool stuff behind a cash shop. The expac should have killed the game. Why did people buy an expac that was the same price of the base game with significantly less content? I find it funny that all the cool armors are still in the cash shop after buying a 50 dollar expac instead of, and hear me out here, actually putting it in the new content.
>>330112061
wildstar has more people working on it than people playing it, and they're losing devs really fast
>>330111968
N-nothing about Black Desert?
>>330117156
This is something I never understood, if half the new skins where put behind achievements or crafting or whatever, that would be a shitload of content.
Instead, it's all acquired with gold and nothing else, gold is only ever used to buy cash shop stuff since there's nothing else to buy once you have your ascended gear and a few legendaries. Meanwhile, fractals, dungeons, raids, world bosses... are complete ass reward wise and the very few skins that are super rng based are pretty shit.
Still a cool game but fuck if it isn't the laziest mmo ever. Even dead games like Wildstar get more new content on a regular basis.
>>330116790

Curse of the cash shop. Devs can't help themselves.

>>330117918
> if half the new skins where put behind achievements or crafting or whatever, that would be a shitload of content.
I really think cosmetic rewards shouldn't be considered content, nor earning them through doing already existing content again.
The game has a severe lack of meaningful things to do, real, tangible content, and that's the real problem. I'd even be alright with the increasingly worsening cash shop if the game had actual content. Yes, there's a raid wing today but it's used as an excuse to delay anything else for months again and 3 bosses per wing is pretty pathetic. I was done with the first wing before its first reset, and will expect the same thing to happen now.
>>330116790
WvW got old a week after release
the game is a joke, the world bosses are a joke, the dungeons were fucking shit, every class felt the same
I have no idea where the original creators of GW1 left, but I would gladly play its spiritual successor, not a boring MMO with no progression
