The two main issues for me are the story and the classes.įor such a polished and progressive game, I can’t believe how backwards and unfinished the classes feel. It does have some significant flaws, and as these are probably not so well known, they do deserve a nice, neat list. It’s difficult to explain to someone who hasn’t played GW2, but if you ever dreamed of being the wandering hero in your youth as I did, this game will awaken some inner child you didn’t even know you had.īut that doesn’t mean the game is perfect. You can sell things at the auction house and move crafting materials to your bank from anywhere in the world. There’s no competition with other players whatsoever, leading you to want to quest with the crowd instead of avoiding it. The feeling of freedom is further enhanced by the complete lack of the usual MMO BS. An hour later, I remember I still haven’t done the original heart I set out to complete. I set out to fill a heart in one corner of the map, but then I run into a chain of dynamic events, and next thing I know, I’m halfway across the map and working to complete the hearts and challenges in that region. In fact, there’s so much to do that I feel as if I’ve suddenly developed a severe case of ADD. There’s always an event, vista, heart, jumping puzzle, or skill challenge around the next bend. I’ve never seen a game so jam-packed with content in every single nook and cranny. You never have to go far to find something interesting, either. With no set progression path or linear quest chains, the game consists simply of you picking a direction and walking until you find something to do. It’s the dream of being the itinerant adventurer, the wandering hero. I recall one in particular my friends and I played for a while, which we simply called “the wandering knight game.” The idea was that we were all knights (with magical powers, of course) who wandered the land, solving problems and fighting evil. I don’t know about you, but I used to play a lot of make believe games when I was a child.

Nor is it that skill challenges or vistas are especially exciting to track down. It’s not that heart tasks are thrilling and unique. It’s not that dynamic events are exceptionally fun. It’s all been said before, both on this blog and elsewhere.īesides, this is a game that’s more than the sum of its parts. I won’t give you a laundry list of the positive features of Guild Wars 2. I also have not tried dungeons or PvP yet, though I’ve yet to hear a single good thing about dungeons. I’m far enough into the game now that I feel my hype goggles have fallen off, allowing me to view the game honestly.įull disclosure first, though: my main has only just hit level 30, though since the whole game is endgame, that probably doesn’t make much difference. However, it has been filling up most of my free time lately, so I figured I might as well give my thoughts. If I praise it, then I’m just repeating things that have been said a thousand times over, but if I focus on its negative aspects (and yes, they do exist), I’ll just seem like one of those haters who always comes out to trash the latest game. I’ve been hesitant to write on Guild Wars 2.
