there were so many games that where advertised as the next great thing...

they all came and left... but me to a point where i did not bother trying them out. nice graphics do not cut it...
and i do find them to flashy ... 10 one-man-discos beating on each other is a turn off..-

Yes I agree, and ive watched all those games come and go. and yes graphics dont cut it but the good graphics in GW2 is just a bonus for me, Its the things they are changing from the other MMO's that im looking forward too.

no main healer class.... i like the idea of everyone fighting and defense being important again.

the combat....actually having a controlled dodge ability and ranged classes have to actually aim.

and the leveling system....while ill be in pvp most the time i might actully enjoy the dynamic event system as where you defend towns and attack cenatuar camps and get rewarded on the spot. (no running back and forth to NPCs)


and no its not WoW with 3way rvr... its not Daoc, its not warhammer, its not AION its not Rift. when you say it wow your basically saying you know nothing about the game. personally i like to reasearch games to see what they bring so i can look forward to playing them. If you want to say something is WOW then look at SWTOR, its biscally that but si fi. GW2 actually changes alot of stuff.

I think it will suck. too much instance=no open world rvr. I dont think you can have both or else the population gets too fractured. Also its my opinion that rvr instances burn people out and they quit and thats a big reason new pvp fails all the time. Also on the suck list is 3 sides with mirror classes. there will prolly be no real interrupts and in general much gayness. 3 sides will make the servers last a little longer but I predict suck.

Again.... there is no intstance in GW2. It is an open world to all from that side. for PVP you go to an area like (DAOC frontier) where its basically the exact same.


for interupt gayness i cant tell you yet, but there will be no main healer class so no OPD healer you cant kill 1v1. there will be very minor heals in this game meaning alot of dead people, so if your still standing after the fight, its more bragging rights especilly if it was a zerg battle

So basically you think it will suck because you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. I don't expect everyone to like GW2, but if you're going to dislike it, you should probably at least have some basic understanding of the game first.

I used to belong to the "it will suck" crowd until I spent time reading up on what they are planning on doing. Granted we won't know for sure until we play it, but I have my hopes up. So much so that I'm planning on getting as many guildies to give it a go when it's released. I'm guessing by then they will be ready to give SWTOR a break

The B2P model is appealing too. Ever added up how much you've spent on DAoC accounts through the years?

instances/arenas whatever they are calling it in that game.

Exactly... you say this yet there is no instances/arenas in this game. Again Its completely open to everyone from that server, it has an area where the 3 servers fight in pvp the same as DAOC. your basically pulling ideas out of your -ss Anyone can make up stuff and say it sucks.

Yes they have arenas, but they also have a frontier like PvP area which should be close to DAoC.
