I reckon the game's gonna be excellent and will beat World of Warcraft as kind of the MMORPG genre. It's just gonna beat every other MMO in every way (Except maybe Graphics, as it's designed to run on Mid-Range systems).

Wat. It's one of the best non-subscription MMOs ever made, easily. And the PvP was actually good, before the expansions came >_>. GW2 looks to have some of the best innovation and design in the industry, so I wouldn't doubt WoW would reach its demise (or finally competition) with it. WoW will actually kill itself, not GW2 or any other game. The numbers are already dropping more than they have any other expansion after release, it's just getting old to most people.First one was mediocre.

Guild Wars 1 was one of my favorite games of all time. I think Guild Wars 2 will be the best MMO until Blizzard's next MMO comes out. The combat for GW 2 looks awesome since it is real time and the world is beautiful. In addition, GW2 has got mini games so I wont get bored.
SW TOR really could have been the best but I think they blew it. The combat looks so boring and dull. I have never seen a jedi duel that is so mundane. Literally all players do is just stand still. WoW's combat currently looks more interesting. The other part they messed up was space combat. On rails is very disappointing. The game should have open galaxy for u and ur ship to explore. SWG had this a long time ago. However, the story and dialouge looks good. The cinematics are amazing. If only the gameplay was like that. Sometimes I wish I was calling the shots.:P

I thought it had the best graphics. What other mmo tops it?
None that I can think of. But something'll come along.Mesmer. I keep saying it. I need a mesmer.
And yes it is going to be great. If there won't be a mesmer I suppose I'd go with the engineer.
Also, this GW2 video is great and explains in a top ten list very good reasons why people should look at this game and not another MMO.
Here it is.
Jesus Christ even though I was praising this game earlier I still forgot how awesome it is. Thanks for that video!Mesmer. I keep saying it. I need a mesmer.

Yeah, we sure have a lot of good ones.
The game got a 9.2 here and 9.0 at IGN. I cant think of any MMO's outside of WoW to do that. Seriously, GW2 is not getting enough attention. Even if it were a singleplayer game it looks better than majority of the games out there.Any comparisons of GW2 to GW1 should really be thrown out the window. GW2 is a completely different concept that just shares the lorespace.
I think it will be great, it's shaping up to be something that MMOs really need at this point. It wont kill WoW, that's the thing though, the developers dont seems to care if it beats WoW, nor should they have to--and it's giving the project it's own vision.
Looks better than TOR for the most part. Without fees, im puting this game in the same league as Skyrim & Dark Souls.

Just like how Guild Wars one really killed WoW.rybe1025Okay, this has to stop.... No one said that Darkfall Online, Vanguard, Warhammer, or Age of Conan were gonna kill WoW. Most people in fact said that these games would be 'too hardcore' for WoW players or something like that. They never said any of these games would kill WoW and in fact said these games would have less subs than WoW because they're so hardcore.
you cant kill WoW as in sales but you can kill WoW as in gameplay features. There are better MMOs out there, but they wont have 14mill subscriptions
WoW has 14mill subs because its a easy mode casual game that anyone can play on a 10year old computer.
there are other games out there that have beter features though. Like better graphics, better customization, better PvP, ect

Tera has the best graphics (besides it being pedo crap.... .....) tbh, gameplay wise, Tera, although again, pedo crap..., looks to have better combat too. : /, now if it wasn't pedo crap, I'd buy it when it came out.Just like how Everquest 2, Rift, Age of Conan, Guild Wars, Star Wars Galaxies, Warhammer Online, DC Universe Online, Aion, Lord of the Rings Online was supposed to kill WoW.
Everquest 2 came out around the same time as WoW, and at that time Everquest 1 was the powerhouse having the most subs at 500k which was unheard of at the time...Just like how Everquest 2, Rift, Age of Conan, Guild Wars, Star Wars Galaxies, Warhammer Online, DC Universe Online, Aion, Lord of the Rings Online was supposed to kill WoW.

You really shouldn't throw random names when making a point, it could give some the impression you don't know what you're talking.

lol ... I see your point. I'm not really fond of GW2 characters design either though. GW1 especially was bad. The characters looked more like some fashionistas from Milano than fighters.

It was placed head to head with World of Warcraft when it first came out to determine who would get the MMO throne, t was the first of many of WoW's victims.

Everquest would had probably killed itself without WoW because of bad management. At once point they removed the official forums because they didn't want to deal with the complaining. :lol: Everquest 2 also sells mounts that give you stats. I want to try Everquest, but SOE ruins it.Everquest would had probably killed itself without WoW because of bad management.

Wow really? That happened? Then I guessed WoW didn't kill Everquest 2 then. Rather more or less Everquest II starving itself in the corner while throwing a temper tantrum.

WoW came out at a really good time. I was not MMO player at the time BTW, I just read blogs and stuff of old MMO vets and I've learned a lot from them. Everquest was having a lot of problems, SOE took over the game (I forgot who the original owners were but SOE took over by force apparently), there were so many things that needed to be fix. When SOE heard about WoW they rushed out Everquest 2 despite protests. When WoW Launched Everquest 1 still had a lot of unaddressed issues that players were not allow to talk about anymore, Everquest 2 had insane requirements few people could play it because the game was meant to be released years later, and it was so buggy it was unplayable. ****ed off at SOE many players left for WoW and never looked back. I don't know where this fits into the time frame but two MMOs, Dark Age of Camelot and another MMO, both had gotten a bad patch that made game breaking bugs and neither companies did hotfixes so instead of waiting the players went to try WoW and got hooked on it. Around the time WoW came out the amount of people with broadband increased a lot. Most of these people were unable to play MMOs before because they were stuck on DSL or 56k. They tried WoW because it was the latest thing. And of course, with their battle.net games Blizzard was already well known and already had a huge following. So a lot of people form other Blizzard games such as Starcraft, Warcraft 2 and 3, and Diablo 1 and 2 got WoW as their first MMO. Combine this with the fact that WoW made a huge leap in terms of controls and smoothness from MMOs before it, they couldn't really play any other. ((Have you ever played a pre-WoW mmo like Shadowbane? Moving your character feels like controlling a tank.)) On top of being an awesome game, the juggernaut was created. :PTera has the best graphics (besides it being pedo crap.... .....)[QUOTE="Inconsistancy"][QUOTE="edidili"]

Those are very very generic basic designs at the beginning of the game...thats basically like linking WoW starter items....like the overalls and shield for human warriors or something.
http://kekai.weebly.com/guild-wars.html Here's on of the concept designers for the first game (hes lead on the second). All of these looked fantastic when translated to 3D. You can look up the 3D models on GW wiki or someplace like that. I'll post one example of a good design -- GW easily has the best design in an MMO to date as far as visuals go......especially on armor. http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Deldrimor_armor#Hero_armor
