However ArenaNet have made their plans to remedy this in the upcoming expansion clear, so don’t let it bother you too much. Something a PvE enthusiast like myself cannot abide by. Guild Wars 2 however, as it stands, lacks raids.
Events appear and disappear, creating a nice sense of variety during your time questing. Questing is fun mostly due to the dynamic nature of Guild Wars 2.
The overall leveling experience was tight, and the story filled in for any boring gaps. Of course there are also more intimate battlegrounds for those into more traditional PvP, however WvW is one of the most unique PvP modes in any game.Īs for PvE, GW2 has gotten a few things right and a few wrong. Besieging keeps with hundreds of allies is something that needs to be experienced, as I can’t express the shear feelings of awe I had when playing this game type. The huge World Vs World battles are some of the most engaging experiences I’ve had in an MMO to date. Sure the game’s PvE is nothing to scoff at but the PvP is as close to immaculate as it gets. Speaking of PvP situations, this is where the game truly shines. Many of the skills in the game will have you swapping boons and conditions with enemies and allies, making managing these effects essential in claiming victory especially in PvP situations. The combat truly finds its depth with the Boon and Condition systems, more commonly known as buffs and debuffs respectively. Dodge rolling around enemies to counter attack is oh so satisfying. The quests in this zone introduce you to the game’s systems and combat, and the combat is simply amazing. Combat and GameplayĪfter creating your character you are dropped into a starting zone that acts as a tutorial. ArenaNet nailed this aspect of the game, along with many others. Though some seemed more difficult to master than others, such as the Thief, all had sufficiently distinct aspects.Īll in All GW2 has one of the most in-depth character creation mechanics I’ve seen in a video game. I can honestly say each class felt interesting to play. The 8 classes are as follows: Mesmer, Ranger, Engineer, Necromancer, Guardian, Thief, Elementalist, and Warrior. You will have your choice of 8 classes, or “Professions.” Each with differing abilities and equipment. Playing with the new free to play option however, I was limited to only two character slots, therefore I had to be judicious with my choice of character. Each race has their own, and each feels varied and provide incentive to go back and create that new alt. Speaking of the game's Story, it's intriguing. These things also have a real impact on your character's story, as will the decisions you make in game. You will also craft their personality, backstory and values. Not only will you be choosing your character's, hair, eye color, etc. However the creation tool in Guild Wars 2 is unique. This game begins as so many before it have, with the creation of your character.
