Or, leave your name and server here so someone can check this post and invite you

is it safe to post my seafarer's rest character here for FUN or Here?
are they normal enough or will i get erp and memed?
which one is less autistic

There's only 2 active guilds, HOPE and FUN in the OP. Please don't troll new players with that bloated list, that info is almost completely false or misleading.

FUN has been around for a while, and have friendly members that post here, so I don't think there's anything to worry about. [Here] isn't even EU, that guy who posts the list I'm replying to adds whatever guilds people tell him to regardless of info.

How would you rank GW2 against all the other popular MMOs available right now?

At least what are the pros / cons, or what does this do better or worse than any other popular MMO?

I'm already playing it, but I'm relatively low level. Long time MMO fan, just been out of the game for years.

[Here] isn't even on a EU server and is probably a meme guild made by some butthurt NA guy who got kicked from HOPE or FUN.

The real /gw2g/ guilds are in the OP.

What's up? I'm from FUN, and would be glad to invite you. is basically right about us.

>The person you're trying to whisper is not online
Gave up after the fourth try. Would appreciate a guild invite for HOPE when someone gets the chance. Alfihldr on Ferguson's Crossing, been guesting on Tarnished.

Im extra tired for full answer but as a short reply:
GW2 is really innovative mmo compared to others. Focus is on fun, exploration and cooperation. The "grind" feel is almost absent. Once you are highest level and get your legendaries, these will never be obsolote. New expansions add things - but do not add new char levels, therefore you will not be relatively weaker when xpac hits. Everything is dynamic and event driven, not gated behind questlines, but Im sure you already noticed that. But in expansion maps this is taken to the next level, with every map being one big meta-event.

What it does worse? I would say story-telling and dungeons.

post characters that probably smell nice

...

It tried to be innovative, but fucked everything up. Making like five games over top of one another and then trying to say they're all the same thing isn't innovative; it's sloppy, misguided, and frustrating on the part of someone who actually just wants to play video games. GW2 a shit and it's only alive due to whales with no value of their own money.

...

Care to be more specific on how exactly they fucked everything up?

I see improvements with every new release.

sup gw2g, im a WoW player now

...

i'll have to level a bit more to see if it's really fun first but then i'll post my name.tag or just the character name?

Your server is irrelevant when it comes to guilds.


Server only matters for WvW

I want to make a Boppso Rikk smore.

Yeah I just wasn't sure if it was like WoW where you needed to do Charactername-Server, or something like that.

Copy that.

Did you get an invite yet? I can't invite because I'm not an Officer.

>new zone
>condi cleanse, CC spam and high-ranged damage required to progress without it being a slog
None of these things are normalized. This creates frustrating imbalances more than anything else in the game. If the game tells the player how to play, why put so much wasted effort into forcing the illusion of choice? Then people slot these things, and all content becomes a snorefest.
>more baseline map content locked behind masteries
They increased the level cap again. They also keep segregating content within certain zones instead of designing all zones with a sense of continuity.

Say what you will, but I can't/won't argue against your opinions all day long.

senpai

i made an eu account to satisfy your erp quest

grinded to get to DR (gated by lv.10)

and you up and quit on us!

what's up?

I hope you enjoy a game that is a shell of it's former self.

If you didn't play WoW in Vanilla up to WOTLK then you are a band wagon faggot.

Yeah I got it. Thanks though.

I hope you enjoy a game that is a shell of it's former self.

If you didn't play GW2 in 2012 then you are a band wagon faggot

but that's exactly when WoW was a bandwagon game

character name works fine

Argument applies to both.
Nah.

WoW now has tips telling people how to use a fucking action bar on the loading screen.

All the skills are simplified now. The game is too easy.


Old WoW when it was hard and for autists was better

its pandered and watered down for normies who ride hoverboards and smoke vape

cunny grool

...

what are you becoming?

It's only really a pain the first time. Takes about 10 mins afterward.

only time will tell

>Old WoW when it was hard and for autists was better

are you serious

wow's biggest contribution to MMOs was that it WASN'T hard and that normies could play it

GW2 in 2012 was already a shell of it's former self.

The good thing about old wow is how it let you explore the lore of the world without centering on you, and how it forced to you to socialise.

Gw2 is almost 5 years old.
At this time in world of warcraft's life we were already playing through wotlk and looking forward to cataclysm.
Anet have done fuck all in that time.

It was 4 years old like a month ago.

they had 2 full living stories, an expansion, new raids, fractals, world events, and lots of new maps. All in under 4 years. Not too bad for an MMO with a small fraction of WoW's player base, with a buy2play business model.

I like it when people say this game has raids. It has "A" raid.

But who will be the grahams?

Technically, it has 3 separate raid instances.

>2 full living stories
one in which you will never play again, tough luck if you missed it the first time
>expansion
easily the worst mmo expansion released for in genre

>easily the worst mmo expansion released for in genre
Have you ever played neverwinter?
