Yes.
>>
No.
Not even a maybe.
Don't need to repeat the question.

It's mediocre. You're only getting disappointment.

This anon tells the truth.

It's shit, but still the best MMO on the market.
>>
>>336927635
its not bait. the game is free. leveling up is quite fun. ive found that most of the hate for this game comes from jaded veterans who dont like the endgame or lack thereof.

one of the worst MMOs I've ever played

exploring the open world is cool until you realize everywhere looks the same and that's pretty much all it has going for it
>>
>>336927813
try FFXIV
>>
>>336927813
try guild wars 2 mate. its free and good.
>>
Leveling to cap is fun.
After that is trash.

End game is grinding dungeons that have awkward mechanics. There is one dungeon that is pretty neat the first time, but most are absurdly boring and take a very long time.

The worst bit is that the gear isn't even better than leveling gear, so it's grinding long boring dungeons for cosmetic gear.

So, yeah, probably worth grabbing just to level a charactor to max. After that you're done.
>>
Lacks content, end-game, and balance.
$50 expansion lasted me a week before finishing everything except collections.
Everything lacks challenge.
>>
>>336928304
It's a fucking demo. You can't do most of the end game content nor pvp with the f2p version.

Ignoring the married couple above me, I'd advise not to get into it. It's free, so you can try, but personally I found it too tedious and boring. Skills are weapon-specific, which seems fun at first, but gets old real quick and quite boring too.. I do have friends who say you'll enjoy the game later on, but it's all personal opinion. Like I said, personally, I'd advice against it.
>>
Grinding to max level the first time was a lot of fun. They put more effort into that than the end-game content and it really shows. It's worth a try if you can get for around $10.
>>
>>336930723

You can jack off with your friend and that is much more satisfying and free.

It's good but it's not GW1 with better graphics that's why everyone say it's shit.

If you just want to sink some time into it, you'll definitely enjoy it for at least 100h before being bored
>>
>>336936291
>It's good but it's not GW1 with better graphics that's why everyone say it's shit.
You're retarded if you think that was the only reason. There are many things wrong with the game and not being GW 1 is the least of that problem.
>>
The leveling experience was pretty fun, at least back when I played it. That will waste quite a bit of your time.

Endgame and pvp is shit so if you're looking for a longterm game this is not for the MMO you're looking for.
>>
The only thing I can say that gw2 did well was the leveling system. As another anon said, they put more effort into the leveling experience than they did for any kind of 'endgame' content. Also the neato feature of downscaling, so low level content still had some small meaning even at max level. I wish more rpg's had something like that.

Even short term, they are better off playing a different game.

>>336936638
The leveling system is horrible and doesn't develop well with the players. You earn your skills early on and the 50 level after is nothing but fluff to make the journey look long. OH WOW EVERYTHING GIVE YOU EXPERIENCE except the amount is absolutely tiny. There is a reason why people started doing pvp for books or just run dungeon to get it over with.

Not really.
Instead of a zone quest line, you get a shopping list of activities you do in each area.
Also the dynamic events aren't really spectacular when you're doing over and over again.

You'll probably get your 20 bucks out of it in game time.
That said, it's still pretty mediocre.
Apart from the world design and atmosphere. Those are great.

I'm Not that guy, but i preordered at full price and it dissapointed so bad at first.

Would say though, i came back like a year ago or so, and it was alright to level a character, though i will say that the skill system is absolutely shit and the living story was the most horrible and bugged piece of shit (it was not even in the right order in the end).

Would not buy with money, but maybe the free version.

Here's how you decide if you should bother with an MMO or a multiplayer game.

>go to /vg/'s general for the respective game

Is it nothing but a waifufaggotry circlejerk of people not talking about he game, but instead spamming pictures of their waifu/husbando in slightly different angles and backgrounds?
Is the most talked about subject "who wud u fuc x3c"?
Is there very little conversation about the game itself?
Are people secondhand-embarrasingly pretending to be cute as obnoxiously as they can or enamored with a character or creature's cuteness?
Are there people borderline ERPing?
Are there furfags?

If you answered yes to any of the above, then drop it and keep looking for something else.

I hope I helped.

I play it since beta and watch in horror with all the stupid update that fuck up the game.

They changed the stability for other gamemodes which accidentally the whole WvW meta.

They released a WvW map that was disappointing as shit.

They forced WvW guilds to go grind more pve to get their guild upgrades back that they already had with the expansion launch.
>what WvW guilds


Well they brought back the old borderland recently, changed the stability again, added in some more WvW progress rewards among otherthings. Maybe they noticed no one was manning the WvW team desk.

Honestly,many people here will say to not play this MMO. You should try,you might like it or not. /v/ is salty because GW2 barely looks like original Guild Wars and the sjw panderings,like lesbian characters,a trans npc and some stupid cosmetic items.
But if you just want to try,go for it. I had fun playing with a necromancer Sylvari when the game turned F2P and i loved to level up. Eventually i found a guild and we used to do guild stuff and everything. It was pretty comfy. Unfortunately,the expansion came and well,this killed the game for me,didn't like it. Maybe you will like? Who knows?

You're completely retarded if you didn't notice how many time their update keep breaking the game.

Now you can just level to 80 for free get to Orr (that island) experience basically the fun part of the game. It's an MMO that fails to deliver any lasting content or good endgame construction, it's a very simple game where DPS is the only thing you need to build. It's a mess and nothing but wasted potential.
