I have a couple questions for you guys... I played GW1(vanilla) a little, but left it for WoW because I had some friends playing WoW. I thought the game was decent, but not quite as good PvE as WoW. Did the expansions make the PvE any better? Do you think it's worth getting GW1 now and playing a bit, or should I wait for GW2. | ||

Tbh it was the other way around, prophecies had horribly designed and bug-infested cooperative missions which forced you to play with morons, factions removed the bugs and the grinding from non-cooperative missions, nightfall allowed people to duo through most of the content safely without having to fail a mission dozens of times before actually making it, eotn added pve-only skills which made every character build retarded and pve content broken. Wait for GW2 Imo, GW1 was not famous for its PvE anyways. And 30 HoM points finally reached yay! EDIT: for anyone interested, the guys at pcgamer are being allowed into the closed alpha with a much larger content pool available, they are releasing reviews every day and so far they have been estatic. | ||

Is there going to be an open or invite based alpha/beta for GW2? | ||

Subscription to the beta must be made through arenanet's shitty ass unrendered foreigner website but it's almost impossible for anyone to get in, as with all their other games. GW2 is still supposedly in alpha tho, and so far pcgamer has been the only group of people to have been granted alpha access. | ||

Every couple months midlines would change radically and a big slice of the GvG player pool would cycle since many people could not adapt to the skill changes (and mostly QQed and quit being as dramatic as possible) and others would find their talents in the new builds. So yeah, anet WILL be working a lot on the balance aspect of the game, they always overwork but it keeps the game fresh. | ||

 As we speak apparently PCGamer is previewing a beta copy of the game in which theyre giving great talk about. One thing that I think were all anxious about is the news regarding PvP. They have been hush hush on exactly what modes are available, and more importantly, who is involved at what points. Hopefully sooner than later. | ||

It is looking as though Guild Wars 2 will be supported through microtransactions instead of being completely free to play after purchasing the game. I personally don't like this. What do you guys think? | ||

Didn't they do this with Guild Wars 1 without microtransactions? I am asking because I have not yet played Guild Wars 1. | ||

Yeah they did but it's a different ballgame I'd guess. Guild Wars 2 is of a bigger scale and MMOS have a far bigger player base than 6 years ago. To keep up with the tons of other MMOs coming out next year alone I'm not surprised they are at least putting in some way to get more cash. Why not? | ||
