They talked about a new game mode but we know little of what or when it will come. And a new game mode won't change the crappy combat anyways, so yeah... | ||

The combat is bad because in the end it pretty much boils down to spam everything on cooldown. Not really It was proven that using skills acording to the situation is more efficient then just spamming them in cycles(depending on weapon and class ofcourse) Auto attacks can have higher dmg outputs in certain cases then doing a whole skill cycle. But of-course the difference ain't that big to really matter unless you're perfectionist. | ||

Fighting vs a human opponent (keyword fighting, not running caps) always takes skill. I was aiming at people who claim all you need in this game is to rotate your abilities on cd. I don't find that being the case in the game at all. | ||

But the PVE is fucking awesome. One of the best questing systems. | ||

Game has a huge lack of skills and a good ''mechanics'' behind it (GW1 had energy management), a lof of the times it sadly comes down to spamming everything that is off cooldown . Also, I'm probably not the only one who misses precise builds, because now everything works....just less good (ment for PvE and to some extend WvW, no idea about sPvP). | ||

Yup. The game is pretty amazing when it comes to just running around, questing etc. but it doesn't really deliver on the mechanics. I treat it more like your regular, casual single-player RPG that's really well done but not as an MMOG. If I want more fun and actual challenge I turn on GW1. | ||

@manitou yeah it's a beautiful world and the questing is very well done (although still repetitive and too alike). | ||

Atm. I'm pretty into Path of Exile. The actual fighting part is, well, it's an ARPG. But I'm in for the theory crafting as the skill and item system have a lot of depth and that's one big thing I really love about GW1 as well. Then usually GW1, atm. not so much because I mostly play PoE for now. But I will play more in the future for sure. I tried ESO and it's pretty much GW2 but worse. Just a giant cash grab fueled by hype-trains around the franchise. For MMO's I was looking forward to ArcheAge but my hopes got buried when 1.0 got released in korea - that was terrible. Kinda looking forward to star citizen. | ||

Well, I can't say anything about the story (that was one terrible piece of shit in gw2) because I didn't played it far. The point that the story is restricting your progress through the areas is not a positive point for an open world game imho. The combat was really the same, just added blocking and interrupting to all characters (gw2 has that, too, but bound to a few skills). All of it is funny. And doesn't really matter. I killed enemies in the gw2 way: circle around your target while pressing buttons on cd (melee). So, to this point it's the same, but it gets worse in the fluidity of combat. Your actions feel awkward and the game doesn't really tell you if you hit or not. It's like hitting cotton with your axe. The whole character movement feels completly inaccurate. I think it's even far worse than normal TES combat and that's an achievement to be done. For the world: I don't like the way gw2 took by making all areas feel the same because everything is full of the same races and copy&paste camps. You have no rough, lonely or tedious areas. There are some small ones like Dierdre's Steps which are fenomenal but they are far and few in between. The only areas that feel really good as a whole are cities. And still, gw2's world still feels alive and kinda believable. In TESO I felt the world around me was completly artificial. I can't really pin-point it but it was completly off (it was the exact opposite of the immersion TES games usually deliver). Can't really comment on PvP since I didn't played it, but considering the mess of the combat system and what it ended to be in gw2 I'm fairly certain it will be just as bad but with less fluid combat. If you look at the feature list of both games, they are pretty much the same (in fact, when TESO was first announced, I thought it was gw2's feature list). But Zenimax seem to deliver less production value and wants to grab even more money than anet/NCSoft. I mean Sub-Fee+Ingame Shop+Exclusive PreOrder DLC? That's way worse of a cash-grab system than gw2 has. | ||
