what went wrong
i played this til i hit 80 and just forgotten about it
the moment an expansion was announced i was hyped for class changes
then i didn't buy it cause i remembered this shits boring
are MMO's dead i even tried Tree of Failure and fell for the early access meme only to stop playing it
Boring gameplay that seems the same for every class
>>335808714
>get rid of most skills
>preset skills and skill slots
>get rid of dual classing
>all in the name of balance
>it's still an unbalanced mess, just really boring as well
>after three years, get one new class and a small handful of skills for the others
Neo-Anet really outdid themselves.
>>335808262
>what went wrong
-Removed holy trinity to turn every class into AoE DPS
-Removed dedicated Healer
-Preset weapon-bound skill sets
-Elite skills don't matter anymore
-When expansion came out they didn't give anything to "veteran" users who bought day 1 while giving base game with expansion for free
Because of this.
Nothing went wrong. You expected an HD remake of GW1 but instead got a new game, hence the "2" in the title.
It's just not for you.
>>335809679
Did you retard even play gw1
It's a completely different game, everything was changed
There is too many reason why the game went so bad.
>>335808262
i enjoy it
>>335809875
honestly who gives a fuck about any of this, it's the core game mechanics that are the problem not some petty sjw shit
>>335809781
Thank you for repeating what I said, I needed a reminder.
Yes, everything was changed, hence GW "2" is not an HD remake of GW "1" and is instead it's own game.
>>335809679
This anon is right, stop complaining. Expecting a sequel that boasts the same name to play anything even remotely similar to the original is just asking too much. Stop being so entitled.
>>335809996
I bet you are the same kind of retard who complains about doom 4 not being 'doom' enough
>>335810003
Whoa, capable of sarcasm, impressive.
It's funny because if you DID get a game that played remotely similar to the original, you'd be bitching how similar and copy-paste it was.
Go back to playing your outdated trash.
>>335809679
The game was horrible even without the Guild Wars title. Every mode they touch got ruin in every update.
>>335809995
It fuck up the atmosphere and they would rather spend the the resource to make the main characters a bunch of gay twats and tumblr salads.
>>335810003
Not him, but that's the direction the developers went, if you really wanna give them a message then i'll give you a valuable tip.
Don't buy the fucking game.
>>335810149
The pvp just made me sad.
I really wish they added things that made it feel interesting to begin with.Is unit collision that hard? Warhammer online did it in 2008
>>335808262
Because only the style and asura were the good things about the game. Shoulda just made Guild Wars 2.0
>>335810086
He said it specifying that nothing went wrong with the game smartass.
>>335809606
The main problem with the Clusterfuck design is that it doesn't fix the problems that Trinity has, which isn't ever organized combat that promotes positioning.
Linebacker/receiver tanks, front-line DPS, and back-positioned healers where.
>>335810003
Hey guys, I got a great idea! Let's make the exact same game we already have all over again. That way we can get all the players that are already playing our game, playing the exact same game again. Is that smart business or what?
>>335810215
It's free.
>>335808262
It was really boring, but the worst thing was probably that when I played the only class builds allowed in dungeon groups was DPS warrior and DPS elementalist. Nothing else was needed, nor wanted, which made my lvl 80 "paladin" worthless, so I got mad and quit. They've probably fixed this, but the game was bad and shit anyway.
Still, I'd say I got my moneys worth. Was a nice time waster for several hours while getting to max level. Wont ever touch it again though.
>>335810482
Yeah. That would have been good business. If they had made Guild Wars 2 a Guild Wars 1 with better graphics and a completely new world and classes etc, which is what everyone expected and wanted, then the game would probably still be relevant.
Instead they wanted to revolutionize MMOs with a pile of crap.
>>335810564
I'm not gonna lie.
I forgot about that.
But it's been not free for quite a while before and there's the expansion, so i was talking to the people who were following the game for some time.
>guild wars
>let's remove something that the game was built upon and excelled at, you know GUILD WARS, guild halls and other cool guild mechanics and put in massive zerg lagfests WvW that have no place in a game like this
>dumbed down PvP because of their shitty idea of "balance" and removing dual classes
>some of the worst game mechanics ever conceived with shit like downed state (because some colossal idiot though that when you kill someone and they don't actually die and can still throw shit at you is fun?)
>you get everything after the first few levels and the rest of the game is just filler
>>335810564
>>335810838
It's a fucking demo at best. PvP is P2Win and you can't get to some of the endgame because you wouldn't have any elite spec on. Fractal is out of the question and you couldn't partake into the raid.
>>335810754
I think what you want is called an expansion pack, not a new game.
GW2 is a new game, not an expansion pack.
As I said earlier, if you DID get that, you'd complain that the developers are lazy shits who never add new features to the game and are trying to rip you off.
>>335811079
No I wouldnt. I would still be playing Guild Wars 2.
>>335810631
It was okay to waste some time on but I still regret every cent I paid for it just because they fucked over everything Guild Wars stood for, including its fanbase. I can never forgive them for that.
>>335809024
Izzy managed to convince anet that dual classes were impossible to balance, nothing to do with his incompetence.
Then they stripped all skill variety, class variety and scrapped dual classes.
Even more unbalanced than gw1 was.
>>335811851
And he started early. There is a reason why the skill update gotten better for GW 1 after 2009.
>>335810149
played the game for over 200 hours and con cofirm. This image is still 100% accurate and anet needs to leave the industry.
>>335812271
skill balancing is pretty easy for GW1, or at least I see how I could do it well
whats so hard about it?
>tfw you will never win a battle in the hall of heroes ever again
Asura is the reason this game isn't dead yet desu
>>335813436
That is the thing, it wasn't hard, but Izzy was horrible at his. It's easy to point out his involvement with Smiter's Boom, but another example was Magehunter's Smash. When it got the it cannot be block updated, Izzy increase the adren usage of the skill because he doesn't want it being overuse over Devastating Hammer.
>>335814012
Too bad they're wasted in such a bad game.
>>335811079
Yes, it is a new game but it is one that doesn't deserve the "Guild Wars" in its name at all. It is too different and shits on everything that made its predecessor great and unique.
We wanted a new Guild Wars that improves and expands on already established game mechanics and an all around modernized experience with a new engine and not something completely different that has nothing in common with what we loved. How the fuck is that so hard to understand?
Just because you think it's okay to shit all over a fanbase and established brand because it's a "new game" doesn't mean it's okay to do so. It may be a good game for some people and that is totally fine but this game is no fucking Guild Wars.
>>335814309
hes the one that did that? holy shit
Hey guys, is it still possable to play GW1?
I remember I made a ranger/necromancer so I could have a small army around me at all times.
Well 2 to 4 helpers, but I liked to think of it as a small army.
>>335814783
It's still up and most of the content can be done with heroes.
>>335808262
It was made by people that had never played or even read about the original game.
>>335814783
you can still play it yeah
thats cute, minions are great and very effective for vanquishing
>rit/ranger
>pet
>spirits
>summoning stone
>grind
comfy
