Looking for new MMO

[maynard]

Guild wars 2 fighting is not redundant, it is not stationary, and requires actual skill and strategy to master.

hardly... it's not a hard mmo by any means. you want a hard one, go play vanilla wow, finalfantasy 11 or EQ.... I don't get why people claim GW2 is so skill based... does using a dodge button really grant that much skill lol? it's a mmo with what.... 8 buttons ? All Ive seen in GW2 is a UBER casual MMORPG that damn near anyone can easily get into... I don't see any skill required for it and all this about combat never being the same or repetitive? and you never doing the same things twice? well.... I don't think you've played it much.... cause that's far from true.

and no I'm not saying it's a bad MMORPG... it's quite entertaining... and given it's a 60 dollar game with no monthly fee... I think that in it's self is awesome and it's probably one of the best 60 dollar games ever in terms of bang for your buck... shit when I'm done typing this, I'm gonna jump on and play ^^ But it's not a hard MMORPG by any means.

-Dragons nest is not an mmo for the same reason GW1 wasn't... as soon as you left town... there is no people unless you're in a party... that goes against the very purpose of a MMORPG which is having a massive constantly evolving world with people running around all over doing shit.

-Runescape is great.... if you're 10-15 years old.

-SWTOR is good for the main storyline, sucks for PVP


it's hard 2 recommend a MMORPG for you without knowing what you're looking for in one... that and the majority of MMORPG's that have come out in the last long long long long time have sucked ass and fallen flat on their face.

THIS is what I'm waiting for! I just needed a game to entertain me until that is released. I signed up for the closed beta a while ago. I think I'm just going to go with GW2 since there is such a large amount of ibis people playing it.
What server are the majority of yall on?

GW2 server: Gates of Madness



also....

Elder scrolls looks ok but will reserve my judgement until i've tried it out.

Currently playing SWTOR for the stories and guild events. Really suggest you atleast try it out for the stories alone considering it's F2P and you get the all the quests for free. Restrictions isn't bad unless you want to do the endgame and leveling is pretty smooth so there is no grind, not even for raids anymore.


Really waiting for FFXIV to relaunch after playing both Alpha and Beta versions as i know i will be having much fun there

GW is based off strategically setting up your build for relevant situations. Yea any average player can join and play the game and find it rewarding but beyond that, skill is required. Its one of the fundamental Principles that has set GW apart from other MMOS. Having only 8 skill slots, means you need to critically think about your build and what to use. It has always been a game that reward players who were above and beyond the average player yet at the same time, making a fun and addicting game for average players.


As for the "no dedicated roles" i am implying that no class has a dedicated role. There is not a healer class or a tank class or a dps class. There are classes that can be fine tuned to meet your role needs, thus encouraging team work.

GW1 is not a MMORPG and anyone whose actually been involved with the mmorpg community over the last decade and on knows that. You can argue based on the literal wording of "MMORPG" that it is... but it's only people making a desperate plea who try and do so. What blew people off their asses when MMORPG's started was the fact you were in a on going/changing environment with hundreds/thousands of other players.... so shit was always going on... when that concept first hit, it was mind blowing... it's why the genre blew up and became what it was. If you leave town... and there are no random people questing, exploring, fighting etc... it's not a MMORPG... it's basically a RPG with multiplayer/group capabilities, nothing more.

GW2 is a great game... but it's far from any landmark in the MMORPG genre. Amazing 60 dollar game.... but does not reinvent the wheel or the genre.

GW2 server: Gates of Madnessalso....

Yeah. Gates of Madness is where most are. Not overpopulated which is gd for pve when u dnt have huge zergs rampaging ur kills. Theres always something to do somewhere. And people here are actually friendly and helpful, and willing to shoutout for boss fights u'd been looking for. Some are not at GoM (especially if family or irl friends on other servers) but they always guest to our server free every day.
