How The Old Republic can compete and beat Guild Wars 2

As i read these posts, i can easily say that most of u dont know anythink about gw2 system

Some says there is little skills on bar...
--- Let me give you some info, warriors can use 19 different combination.. and every combination givs you different skill set..

You can use sword,axe,mace as main hand
Shield,warhorn,axe,mace as offhand
Greatsword,hammer,longbow and rifle as two hand

You can swap 2 set while you fighting and thats not all.. there are traits that improve some off skills. You can costumise your set and make tons of strategies..

This system goes all classes with different setups. Like elemental choose his weapon and all attunements change..

Second.. yes there is no trinity and agro system is different. Mob agros to the player who is closer so at fight ppl keep goin in and out there are utility and support skills so its not like tank and spank..

İ am really exited.. hope they make us happy

Indeed, the first GW was basically a PVP game, with ToR style story quests (with crappier voice acting) added as an afterthought. Called them missions, too. Or at least, that was my impression. Yes, I've finished the PVE game, it's a fun game (except factions ohgod), but as far as story goes, it can't match ToR ever.

As for the PVP part... It was glorious!

ToR is ATM pretty much the other way around. The story is awesome, the pvp not so much.

We're not comparing SWTOR to the first GW, we're talking about GW2, which is absolutely nothing like the first.

Exactly what is the point of your post? Why won't it be competitive? Why will it kill itself? Why wasn't the original great? I know internet anonymity allows you to say anything you want without any backup facts etc, but if you want people to take you seriously, you really need to justify your waffle.

You doubt it will bring in new people? That's an amazingly stupid comment to make! I can pretty much bet, at least one person completely new to gaming will buy GW2, which makes your comment so fantastically naive.

Finally, 'LOL' is a great indicator of maturity level..

I misunderstood what you meant by "hotkey archetype", what you're talking about sounds more like a change on the trinity. All I was saying is other than the active dodging, GW2 at its heart is still a hotkey MMO. Which isn't a bad thing, because usually when an RPG isn't hotkey, it's a hack n' slash.

Hotkey attacks with action elements sounds good to me.

Yeah sorry, I wasn't exactly clear on what I meant, looks like you get it though.

I know, I just made the comparison to the first game, because people seem to think it was some sort of crappy game that never sold more than 3 copies. It was an awesome game, probably much more tactical than anything we'll see in ToR ever, as far as pvp goes. As for PVE, one time through was fun, but I don't think I'd last a second time.

As for GW2, I'm not completely sure how this whole "switch roles on the fly" is going to play out. Might make pvp a bit annoying, this dude that was shooting you with his bow is suddenly healing himself up, then shooting you again.

I guess we'll see how it plays out. I'll probably get the game eventually anyway, since I hear there's gonna be good world PVP.

Not really since you only sum them up. Its still only 5 abilities at once.

So your argument pretty much fails and is equal to saying Sith warrior has 238 abilities.

But thats the thing, that guy thats shooting wont swap out to a magical healer ma-guy, he'll carry on shooting you, but also casting his healing ability, it's not changing roles, it's more along the lines of just changing weapons, as in he can hurt you in a different way.

Try imagine i'm a warrior in a PvP match, i have two loadouts, one using dual wielding swords, the other, using a rifle. If i see you in the distance i'll use my rifle like any sensible person would. If someone got close i could switch my weapon to my swords, it's changing my first 5 abilities two ones specific to using two swords, but my other 5 abilities ( my utilities) will stay the same, one of the utilities include my self heal. I didn't know how to explain it so I tried making a scenario. Does that help though, in that it's not changing classes, it's just changing the way you do things.

for you.


btw... it's hardly a revolutionary system
you know which game does the same?

FINAL FANTASY XIV

(yeah, the 'failed' final fantasy mmo)
