Too obvious. Can't enjoy 360/PS3, BF3/MW3, Coke/Pepsi, or anything else. Have to have one as the be all and end all and the other as insignificant. Gotta reassure myself that I made the right decision buying the product... derp.

I was looking up info and I saw this...

lol wtf stealth. The opponent couldn't even fight back!? What happen to the "every class do everything" kind of deal?

GW1 didn't have this non-sense. Sigh... I will play GW2 as a PvE game, I loved GW1 for so many years with a nicely stacked hall of monument.

I really hope my hope isn't betrayed, but GW2 is looking more and more like WoW, and I hate WoW.

ROFL, sounds like my friend with moutain dew

Sigh...here are some facts for you guys:

1. OP forgot to mention that Team QQ (the writers of the article) also made a list of Top 10 Strengths of Guild Wars 2. I'm sure the OP just wasn't aware of that article and was not blatantly trying to misrepresent the position of Team QQ.

------------

2. Now, some knowledge for you all...

The article in the OP is from a few months ago. (November 2011)

Team QQ is one of the top seeded GvG guilds in Guild Wars 1. They eat, live, and breath PvP.

Now, PvP in GW1 is not anything like the stuff "PvPers" in TERA are used to. The game is not about ganking lower levels, gear farming, or enchanting with an RNG system.

It's about skill and team work. Period.

These are not the complaints of someone who is a PvEer or thinks PvP is about ganking and PKing.

-----------------------

3. On the topic of the article, I agree with some of the issues that Team QQ presented are valid. (#s 3,4,5, & 6). #2 has a fix (particle effects can be turned down manually). No game is perfect. Not GW1, GW2, or TERA. I personally believe that the pros out way the cons for GW2.


So yea, I'm playing GW2.

To those who think that makes me a fanboy.../coolstorybro

Yeah, but it won't last long before you're knocked back out.

1. The thief there was a very good player. Traited for "perma-stealth".

2. The players he killed were very BAD. You don't HAVE to target in GW2...if someone is attacking you from stealth, you use AoE skills around you to knock them out of it. It's very simple. In addition, Thieves have the lowest HP, so once they are knocked out of stealth, you can punish

3. The game is in beta...would you say TERA is balanced? No. Balance is something that is worked throughout the game's lifetime...you don't call classes OP in a game's beta testing if you understand how PvP works...

The whole stealth mechanic is BS to begin with, and I am not going to deal with that BS.

That has to be the most ridiculous rant i have ever read. The guy is complaining about choice, essentially he would of much rather everyone be that same or have a set cookiecutter format. Reiterates exactly what NCsoft said when they meant the trinity was gone and how is it that the ability for everyone to tank heal and dps not good for pvp. That would mean everyone is actually on a level playing field, ridiciulous. Sequels tying into each other might work in an RPG but not an mmo, new mmo = bigger better etc etc. Whining about his ability to aim at targets and how he cant tab target, sounds like a personal problem not game flaw. This is where i stopped reading cause its more of a rant that the game isnt on training wheels basically. Honestly I treat GW like any other game I would spend 60 bucks on. I'd buy it, if its good then great because the replay value will be well worth the 60 dollars. If it happens to not be good no worries they will continue to develop it and I can try it again at a later date. Best of all there is no subscription fee. I will be playing both, Sold.
