Such a great online game with original ideas and one of the most diversed and interesting PvP of its genre.
Man I LOVED GW1. Never really had much chance to play the second, sadly. I still think about playing my Necro in PVP and doing crazy endgame runs. Long time ago...
All I remember is the beetle race mini game childhood memory unlocked :D
Second had nice ideas too but very different, not a coorpg anymore and more an actually MMO. PvP was very disappointing, they didn't keep anything from the 1, probably because it was too elitist. For me the massification made me feel like I was insignificant, I didn't like it much, I did a bit of the campaign and that's it.
Yeah it just seemed so different. I actually installed it recently and farted around for an hour or so (recently installed Linux on an old laptop and wanted to see how it'd do), I'm not really planning on going back. Think I already uninstalled. It seemed fun enough, I didn't like hate it, but I'm not getting into an MMO right now.
Either way, I wanted GW1 and this was quite a departure. I really loved things like the low level cap that were out the window.
It's definitely not Guild Wars 1, but it does still have a "low level cap" in the way that it's extremely easy to get to max level doing a variety of content, then the vast majority of content is done at that level. You probably reach level 80 within completing not even 5%-10% of the total available content, so it's just a number. The way you "advance" your character is through gear and cosmetics, and there's an account leveling system called masteries you unlock at 80.
That's fair. Like I said, I didn't play very long so I'm happy to take your word for it.
Good to hear tho, thanks
