Guild Wars 2 V2: GOTY 2017 or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Arenanet - Games

[QUOTE=That Ninja;35981056]So I just realized something. You remember how Half Life 2 had an asston of physics puzzles, and Valve was all "look at our Source engine, it's so nice", and we're like, "yes, physics, we get it." Well, jumping puzzles are exactly that for ArenaNet, really. Since they didn't have jumping in Guild Wars 1, now it's like "LOOK AT ALL THE THINGS YOU CAN JUMP ON HERE LET ME MAKE YOU A PUZZLE OUT OF JUMPS" Kind of funny really. Don't get me wrong, I fucking love the jumping puzzles, they're tons of fun. I just thought I'd share.[/QUOTE] Though, to be fair, HL2's physics were pretty awesome at the time. Jumping isn't the newest thing

There's also the fact that in GW2 the jumping puzzles are completely obligatory (from what I've seen at least). In HL2 you couldn't continue the game at all before you stacked cinder blocks on a seesaw.

[QUOTE=Theportalmaster;35981194]Never really gotten into other MMOs and I've been looking up a lot about Guild Wars 2 recently. Decided to pre order the game. For some one who isn't a big MMO fan or hasn't played the previous game, is it easy to pick up?[/QUOTE] Very.

[QUOTE=Newbienice99;35981541]Though, to be fair, HL2's physics were pretty awesome at the time. Jumping isn't the newest thing[/QUOTE] But to be able to do it in GW is just the best thing ever. Instead of Q and E'ing across Lion's Arch, I can jump everywhere and not give a shit!

I absolutely love the Puzzle feature. It reminds me of Karazhan!

This is gonna be on steam right?

Probably will be AFTER release.

i have this horrible feeling this will come out when i go to italy on vacation (June 29 - July 8). Man I hope it comes out after otherwise my friends will level way faster and then I'll have to solo the game. i also kind of miss the open worldness of WoW, alhtough I disliked WoW. Like in GW2 the world is all sectioned off and seperated with loadings screens but in WoW you could just walk from anywhere to anywhere (for the most part) without a load screen. That would make the cities in GW2 a whole lot more epic. also they should mess with the camera, when i angle it up i notice how much detail there is in the distance (and i clearly miss a ton of it since the camera is always angled lower)

It's all pretty simple in colors while GW2 has a rather vast palette. I honestly don't mind the loading portals. Just means "holy shit, there's another spot to explore!"

I'm worried that this might come out when I go to the beach for the week in July...I will have to stay up late a few nights to catch up with you guys.

Funion, how late do you stay up gaying up this thread? Your work here is commendable, my boy.

You guys are totally blowing this out of proportion.

I don't even

To the guy a few posts up, it doesn't matter if your friends level above you, if they are your true besties they will come back and get scaled down to your level to help, so you aren't being powerlevelled like a bitch and can have fun <3

[QUOTE=Bullet100;35990930]So will you 'come back and get scaled down to my level to help' when I'm behind (or any other FP'er)?[/QUOTE] I would.

[QUOTE=Miskav;35991261]I would.[/QUOTE] I would too. In a heartbeat!

I will help anyone here who needs it, if they are in the same world as me and I can actually help.

These are the Dungeon Armor sets.

Sorrow's Embrace set looks so awesome, holy shhhhhhhhhht

Twilight Arbor sword. mmmm

Not too fond of the Twilight Arbor sword, but dat armor, mmm

I'm curious how the Citadel Armor will look on the other races/professions. Looks pretty damn sweet on Charr. [editline]17th May 2012[/editline] Consider that the Dungeon Sets "[I]are no more powerful than items which can be gained doing other activities in-game[/I]". So if you like the look of one armor set but you have better stats on a boring/plain armor set what can you do about it? Use [URL="http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Transmutation_Stone"]Transmutation Stones[/URL] to transfer the look and stats of your choice!
