You think it sucks , you just dont like it ............. pure opinion
Beta events and stress tests were flooded by players , with lots of guilds already being made ,, it won't jsut die in half a year , jsut like Guild SRAW 1 is still updated cause people play it
Being overexcited isnt good , but being total against it isnt either ...... time will show and i strongly believe this risk in gameplay change will hurt some MMO companies a lot in their privates .... remember my words on that[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

The killer of that game is when it becomes established and the servers start winning the WvWvW and claim the bonus rewards for their servers effectively killing off other servers because players will fan weather fan to that winning server for the better stuff.(Like people do in this game with #1 factions) Ijs.

There is a better roi doing casters than bh, the less people in squad the better, and doing blocks of 2-4 runs the better. Usually takes less time to launch with less people as well, not to mention more drops. Not enough to hardcore farm when not 2x, but can still pick up a few mil/day without much heavy lifting. caster clases tend to run bh just to get their talis for casters nirv
wouldnt know about reg nirv outside of 2x, though it seems hard/long to find openers to make the runs worthwhile for the lesser drops0 -
Actually the players that play left or are packing as we all know. Now we have a bunch of cash shoppers that sit around all day showing off the R9 they bought and trying to engage in duels outside west gate. Those will eventually leave out of boredom and come back again cause they cant actually play any good game.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0

I find it funny how people are saying that 2012 game will smash 2006 game. Isn't that normal to expect? Newer game to be better than really old one...
But anyways Wuild Guards 2 still isn't a great game, but it's sure over-hyped. Marketing department did their job b:chuckle0 -

It was about the same hype for "A i o n" but ppl got tired of it quite fast and they pretty much all ended up coming back to the previous game they were playing (M...nogi). Plus weren't ppl saying about the same thing when Diablo3 came out?0 -

Seriously, stop automatically assuming that cash-shop players are bad, and just assume the obvious: that they have a lot of free money to spend. Just to flip it around, some of the worst players are the ones who work at mcdonalds and just pve farm all day for gears.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

The weird part is that the big spenders seem to always end up in f2p games where you can buy power, while the poor people don't play the p2p games because they can't afford it.
You would think that being both p2p and successful would mean it's a good game. If you can afford to pay it, then why not play it instead?
The only reason that I can see is that those people enjoy being able to dominate because of who they are. Well, if you consider rich people, that's probably a given. If you're rich and successful, why would you want to be a pushover in any setting, just in the name of "fair play"?
Personally I don't play p2p games because I dislike the concept. I'm not against paying for a game, but paying constantly for it just irks me. To me, all I see is a wheel waiting for a hamster to step in.
Another thing that you said that kinda rubbed me in the wrong way was the PvE part. It definitely sounds like you consider people who do not PvP as some kind of lower class. Well, that much might be a given, since you're on a PvP server. But don't for one second think that PvE isn't a big part of the game. Just take a look at how many PvP servers we have in comparison to the PvE servers. Just take a look at the outrage the Secret Passage mess caused. Just take a look at the countless threads talking about people who just cannot seem to play the game right.
And really, there's nothing wrong about farming gear. PWI is very muchly dependent on either a class or gear. You have to either have an advantageous class, such as barb, psy, archer or assassin, or you have to have the gear to smooth the ride. Now, once you pick the class of your choice, the only option you got is the gear. You either get gear by cash shopping, farming or merchanting. Obviously the first is out for non-cash shoppers. Merchanting is too much effort for most people, plus it's not exactly a fast start. Leaves you with farming.I am Olba. Not Ol, not Baze nor Blaze. And even less would I go by Olblaze.

With Dynasty Rise, PW will have something very similar. Hopefully that will not happen here.
Not sure it will be a game breaker though. Like in PW, the vast majority of gameplay still takes place on each players own server. Interserver advantages probably will not be that great an issue since there is plenty to do on ones own server.0 -

there is a difference in using cash shop to boost your power than using it to raise your lvl without learning , i dont think the poster whom you quoted meant that[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

This game is dead and *** overhyped lol? GW was one the most successful games ever so what do you think 2 will be lol. Just because a game requires skill unlike pwi where rank 9s like me 1 shot noobs all day. The only people left in pwi are people that csed so much they cant leave or the people that love the poor example of community in pwi. Only game i know where people break the tos so many times and don't get banned and the gms don't exist. PWI needs to earn the respect of the players and ban all 105s and account sharers(which i'm hearing they are starting to do.) Most people that play this game are alts anyways servers are dead compared to what they used to be.0

Im probably the only one, since noone else ever backed me in the polls, but for PVE I always liked the wraith attacks - when did you last see one? I liked these for the random - dare I say 'dynamic' nature of the events (think the hype of 'dynamic events' in wg2 and many other new games) - a smaller scale of the Archasaur Event really.
So without wraith attacks we do what - FBQ for some, FC, BH, Nirvana for some, and I just started soloing PV on my seeker too, plus I do the purple divine contracts. And I do these over, and over, and over and over and over etc etc etc
The one thing that might have satisfied the op players was going to be the new TW format. This also might be a game breaker. If this turns out to be good, people might stay around a while to enjoy that, if its garbage then that might be the straw that breaks the camel back for many who have persevered. And this only effects the op players so for everyone else its the continual repetition of the dailies grind.0 -

HOLY **** the flaming insues
"GANKER!"
"FKING NEWB"
"Why did you gank you a**hole"

I layed flat on my belly dead (they zerged me again) wondering wtf is wrong with them.
Later, a sin that I could see (I'm a higher lvl sin), decided to wander around west with PK active. Well, I killed him (I did have better gear, barely). And then...
"YOU FAIL FOR A FULL R9"
"YOUR A FKING NEWB THAT HAS NO IDEA WTF SHE'S DOING"
I said to him "huh? Whats with all the hate and QQing"
"CAUSE YOU'RE A FKING CASHSHOPPER THAT SUCKS WITH NO LIFE! THATS WHY YOU GET QQ"

Honestly the only reason I still come on PWI is to talk with old friends that I have met there. I haven't spent a single penny on this game and I have at least 3 chars over lvl70. Played them for 2 years. So what happened? Why I left/almost left? Why I still don't have at least 1 char lvl100+?
PWI is a fun game. I mean look at all those quests, all this nature, classes, mobs... It has everything you need to have fun. I know there are many BETTER games out there when it comes to graphics and services but hey, its a "F2P" game! Well, at least it should be. So where is the problem? After reading all the replies to the "game is dead/game is dying" threads I found the problem. It is me. Me, the player who wants to have fun. A tiny little cleric with some time who is looking for fun.
What is fun for me? Game is full of quests/dungeons and I enjoy doing them.... I enjoy doing them in a squad. A SQUAD. A group of people. Okay, I am not talking about daily quests like BH or FC. Especially not FC. I hate it. I am so lucky that I had just too much of bad experience there. I don't enjoy playing with lvl85 barbs that call me noob for not healing them while I was waiting for them to roar after pull. The problem was that he (I hope I won't meet him again) didn't know that roar... is a skill. (actual quote: "roar? is that a skill?") b:cry
You say you meet a lot of those too? Oh well sure, it is normal to have many lvl80s noobs running around. HELLOOO? ARE YOU SERIOUS? Something is definitely NOT RIGHT.
Ooopsy then how do I lvl? Quests? Alone? Haha, then why do I play in the first place? Rewards are... laughable and with current economy it doesn't worth effort or time. BH? It became so hard to find a good squad (without "lemme find some aps sin for fast run") that I gave up. Simple as that. Where else I had fun? I really ENJOYED flying around Mines or other lowlvl culti areas just to buff poor guys having hard times with quests. A simple "ty" warmed my heart.
Where are they? Where are the low lvl guys doing their culti who needs a buff? Where are the guys I can give advice to or I can show off to? WHERE? I don't see them. It's a miracle if I'll meet at least one in.. let's say 3 days. BUT WAIT! What is that? Oh my! THERE IS ONE! Awww ._. its just a lvl 78 doing lvl20s culti. b:beatup
To all those who will tell me that I just have to go FC/farm and grind for money or gear/etc. I'm sorry but I'm too busy myself to spend all my free time to get some coin. I play games to have fun, not to make it a second job. Buy ZEN? I looked for a free game because I didn't want to pay for it in the first place.
To all those who will tell me that there are a lot of people and I just come on at wrong time. I played for 2 years and I don't know how it was before but I know that at least a year ago it DIDN'T matter at WHAT time I came in. There would be a BUNCH of people EVERYWHERE. And NOW I gotta change my schedule to have someone to play with? I'm sorry but ARE YOU F*CKING KIDDING ME?
You would say that this game is just not for me then? Excuse me, at that time -around a year ago- I was more than satisfied with this game. More than that I thought it was the best game for me.
This game ISN'T bad. At least it WASN'T. Something made it worth leaving. I saw many people leave for many reasons. Game is old/economy/economy/economy/noobs/powerlvling/etc. I think all of those reasons have something to do with it.
Well I couldn't leave PW just like that. I mean, ALL those things I haven't tried and couldn't to. I am still a human. Very curious one. And yea, lazy as well. I came on a private server. You know, lvl105 as a matter of minutes, unlimited coins, r9 standard gear, etc. I want to try everything out before I will slowly leave PW for good.
To all who are saying that PWI is not dead. It is not. NOT YET. BUT HELL IT IS DYING. It REALLY IS dying. When you come on private server you can feel the difference. Half empty official server VS full private server with fun events everyday and custom content.
That ALL was just my opinion. I might be right, I might be wrong. I am not a wise person, but I am not an idiot as well. Criticize me, for this is democracy. b:bye0
