Can’t wait for GW2
In my search for a new MMORPG I found Guild Wars 2, and I can’t wait to play it.
I’ve gone through the MMORPGs available and the only ones that are interesting are ones I’ve played. LOTRO is a fantastic game, but I’m feeling like something not set in Middle Earth, something where I don’t know what will be around every corner. Something even more fantastical than Toklien’s world, which, whilst being fantasy as well, is one that I’m already very familiar with.
I decided to start looking into what’s going to be available in the near future, and Guild Wars 2 caught my eye. The game is beautiful, with better graphics than Aion which was only released a short while ago, but with the same producers, NCSoft, has a similar sort of look to the landscape. So far there’s not a heck of a lot of information about the game, but with what is available, I’m pretty much set to play this.
My SO and I both want to play the Elementalist class, which already has videos up on the GW2 site, and looks amazing. There’s been a real effort with graphics to make those magic effects really look amazing, and extremely enticing. I can’t wait for my SO to be able to get on there, make a great character each, and really kick some ass.
Guild Wars was very different to any MMORPG that was available at the time, and GW2 is looking like it’s shaping up to be similarly ground breaking. There’s a new feature in terms of questing called Dynamic Events, which sounds like a lot of fun. Basically, these will either randomly trigger, or something a player character does will trigger it, and it could be anything from a raid by the bag guys on a village to having to go into a bad guy base and rescue a bunch of people. Depending on how the event goes, too, there will be different chains of events that come from it.
A very interesting questing system, so let’s see if it pays off!
