After GW2 is released, will you stop playing GW? - Page 3

***Giz*** · January 1st, 2008

I didn't play GW too much (8 hours tops) because of WoW but depending on my WoW status at the time of GW2's release, I'd really like to get into it and try it out.

I guess it also depends on Blizzard's new MMO that is in the works and how close the release dates will be between the two. A bunch of coworkers and I had originally planned to get into GW for months before it's release. We pre-ordered and jumped in the beta and everything but then WoW took our attention by surprise. I wonder if history will repeat itself??

'I'll balance a bit of both...' definatly, but mostly the second one.

***The-Bleh-Bleh*** · January 2nd, 2008

I'll see how the second one is. I played the first a good amount, though not a ton. I played it when I got it, and now am getting back into it. I'm guessing I'll completely ditch the first for the second game... I really never made much progress in the first anyway.

If its like what they say it will be (VERY unlikely) then it should be great.

Anyway, i don't know what i'll do. My computer will probably be too crap to handle it, so i'll probably just stick with GW

i lost intrest in GW after i bought eye of the north..waste of money imo took me 2 days to finish the "elite" challenges...my level 14 pre-ranger could finish that expansion.

hopefully gw2 will have some improvments like better npc ai (maybe they could move) and perhaps have jobs and be able to make stuff like in wow (not a wow fan but it has good ideas)

wouldnt mind if we could migrate chars from guild wars into the 2 i would love to use my racist luxon champ TURDICKS!!!!
(thats a word i thought of back in the day which offends kurzicks. YES I THOUGHT OF IT. BUT I DONT DOUBT OTHERS DID ASWELL!)

I'm looking forward to GW2 and will be leaving GW behind. I suspect the reason why some are wary of it is a combination of the time spent and fear of loss of imagined 'status' within the original. These games are, for some essentially that; a chance to feel some status and superiority in a virtual world that they feel they lack in the real one. I'm not knocking that, but i feel it's undeniable by all except the ones it affects most deeply. If it were not the case the horrible word noob would not be bandied about so much. The highest insult in the game refers to the givers often unfounded views on the time spent and ability of other players. It's pathetic being called a noob by some lemon in Istani armour while I'm standing there in Norn prestige and Chaos gloves telling him to calm down because he can't buy my Destroyer axe for less than it cost to make it.(happened recently...can you tell?)

My Destroyer rack is full, finished off by a perfect Pyroclastic drop at the end of FOW..hurrah! My pets are dedicated, my heros are smart and lined up, my armour sets are hung, my titles are shiny and I'm ready to claim my name.

I want to leave the rest behind, looking forward to it. Consider this...all the time you spent is not lost if you enjoyed it. If it was just a grind for status then you deserve to be taught to smell the flowers before you stamp on the Char. Bring on my new Norn incarnation I say. Bring on new unfamiliar stuff again. There's only so much joy you can get from being a cynical old hooker...oh to be a wide eyed virgin again.

Lots of things can be improved that an expansion can't solve. First, instead of unenforced bans for abuse and mass bans for glitch exploiting, some words not being allowed to slip through even a filterless profile: noob, the other 'n' word, all the childish homophobic rubbish....the list goes on.

How about some other improvements, like a communal Guild Chest for mats and weapons in your Hall? A public board for guild recruiters to avoid the incessant wittering of people trying to make officer by recruiting everyone and anyone? A proper system for stopping idiots spamming on chat?

All these things are technically easy to achieve and would improve the playing experience.

As you can see i have a problem with the word noob...idiots forget that arenanet get their money from new users buying the game, abusing them is ridiculous, they are after all the reason the server is free..no new players no GW.

When all's said and done I have enjoyed all three campaigns and the EOTN expansion... but heres the big question...ready?

WHY IN THE NAME OF WHATEVER DEITY YOU NEED TO GET YOU THROUGH THE NIGHT CAN YOU NOT TAKE CHAOS GLOVES TO GW2.. ARE THEY MAD? 430K'S WORTH OF GLOVES FROM EOTN AND THEY DONT GO IN THE ARMOUR SETS? PFFF!!

Feel free to disagree, and I'll feel free to ignore you....perfect.

First post. Wasn't a bad post up until this last little bit. So if you are going to ignore people just do us a favor, hit the log out button. You can't bring your chaos gloves because, just like your post says, there is no status allowed. You condemn people for their status search but yet you search it yourself.

Why are you worried by the fact that you can't add/bring them ?
You can't bring ANYTHING. It is a NEW game. Different. Not an expansion. Could you bring your stuff over from any other game to the new edition? Noooo....

Feel free to respond and we will feel free to ignore you ignoring us ignoring you. Forum noobs, got to love em. I hate that word as well, but when the glove fits, you can't acquit ( shameless oj simpson joke.).

Okay calm down, put your knickers back on.

Firstly, the 'ignore you' comment was at one time a tongue in cheek reference to an old convention of roleplaying games that you are plainly too young to remember or just plain unaware of, and at that same time an exhortation to have a different point of view and to share it, it being as valid as mine.

Secondly, the chaos gloves comment was intended to point out exactly what you have concluded, that you cannot be selective with what you feel the rules should include based upon your own cicumstances. Well done for getting the point, shame you lost the irony....

Anomandaris · January 20th, 2008

Oh, and by the way,, the noob comment says so much more about you than it does me that you're welcome to abuse me by calling me that anytime your sense of importance has been threatened...good for you.

***Dark Saint*** · January 20th, 2008

i know what the comment was.
Fact of the matter is m8, if the shoe fits wear it. My importance isn't threatened by anything. You're new, you don't know me from a hole in the wall. My use of the word ( while abhorrent ) puts you where you should be.

Just like your claim about people looking for status. You condemn them, but yet you want to take something along with you. If that isn't a status search, i don't know what is.

I understood the irony, but you can not expect to make a post like this and not get the LOGICAL point of view sprayed back at you...

Cheers.
