Anyone who's played the beta, what do you think of it? Do you think it'll be worth it to prepurchase it and start early, or should I wait until price drops?

If you are interested in the game and the story prepurchase. If not then wait price drops

Price drops?

Really. In 6 months maybe.

I'm still not sure :) I only just got into the beta for this weekend, so haven't been able to try much. I like it, and will buy it, but I'm not exactly sure as to when. I don't think I will prepurchase it though, to avoid the rush and the crowded servers. So I think I'll either wait a month or 2 for that, or wait a bit longer for it to go on a sale somewhere. Still haven't decided.

Besides the servers being crowded(Which I am guessing will be fixed) its great fun.

I'd say a week after launch this won't be even close to an issue. They have a few hundred different "maps"/zones, and so far everyone on each server is in about 8 of them.

It's good. If you are going to wait for price drop, you will have to wait for a while.

I've had fun with it so far. This is my first beta weekend, just trying to check everything out for now. I'm going to prepurchase, I think.

It's better than SW:TOR. :P There's really too much to take in for the limited time you get to play. I don't think it'll be on sale anytime soon.

Better than SW:TOR? That's not very hard to achieve.

I thought it was worth the pre-purchase, but I've been waiting for it for a number of years :) And I suspect servers being overcrowded right now is just a way to get one last stress test in before release.

  • I really liked the storyline. After SWOTR, it is the best.
  • Musics not satisfying
  • Classes really good
  • Races covers all tastes. Everyone can find what they are looking.
  • PvE Events are unique and one of their kinds.
  • Skill, Trait, Stats (STS) are complex but easy to understand.
    . This STS allows so many builds. and its highly satisfying
  • Class balances are not clear yet. in a mid term it will be clear.
  • Some weaps efficiency should be balanced.

These are humble average mmorpger review.

I get some fps issues here and there, it's playable but still, do you guys think they would optimize it a little bit for older machines before launch?

Beta is great, it still requires more CPU than GPU power tho :(

8/10 would play again

Camera is a bit sluggish, default chatbox is not to my liking, and parties seem to be bugged where I cannot always chat in /party even though I can kick and invite players to my party.

Terrible game! I tried the first beta in march and the last one this weekend and can only laugh how bad this game is. It reminds me alot of Age of Failiure: Big hype, terrible game.

Did you even play it, you don't give any reason for it being terrible.

Of course. Played the first weekend in march and this one. The PvE ist just really really terrible and the PvP is OK but give no motivation, because you get a Level80 FullGeared Char for PvP...

How are those legitimate reasons? You give none for why you think PvE is bad and your reason for PvP makes no sense.

His reason for hating pvp is valid, and does make sense. He doesn't like skill based PvP, he prefers to grind PvE content/raids for endgame gear for weeks on end so he can faceroll with no skill involved through PvP, because of gear imbalance, instead of simply jumping into skill based fighting, and not having leverage over everyone because he plays the game to much.

I agree with you, this game is biggest failure ever. I even cant understand why my old classmate is so excited because of GW2. Now my money is wasted on GW2... WoW 4 life.

played it 30 mins, looks great, but my pc can hardly handle it.
i get 5fps at those nearby events.
i'd say wait until its released, maybe they're gonna add smth like 1 week trial, and see for urself if its worth it.

Played GW1 and can't cope with the fact GW2 is not GW1? You'll hate it.

Played GW1 and want something fresh but close in design philosophy? You'll love it.

Played WoW and want a WoW reskin? You'll hate it.

Played (most of the popular) MMOs and disliked them, or not played MMOs at all? You'll love it.

I find GW2 kinda similar to the first one, but also very different at the same time :)

But yeah, if you're looking for a GW1 2.0, it's really not for you. If you want a good REFRESHING MMO, you'll love it. And there is no fucking subscription. I'm a WoW player and I really think that Mists of Pandaria is gonna be good, but now I'll have GW2 to play instead of flying around in capitals waiting for the raid night.

I think that they will most likely do what they did with GW1, which is that they'll let people play for x amount of hours or until a specific level for free as a trail version once it comes out. So you can try it then and see if you like it or if you have any friends who have the game ask them if you can play on their account for a little while, just to see if the game is for you.

I personally really enjoy the game but ultimately it comes down to your own tastes

It's worth it, but fuck their unfair pricing. Gonna try trade-in those free games from GMG and get it from them.

" We heard you like beta so release will be still a beta and we will ask 55€ for it.. no actually we already did this trolololo "
( another game released unfinished, mostly on the technical part, I'll wait till it drop price.. hopefully the game will be finished by then )

It will die few months after release, like Warhammer Online(GW2 is much like it, with better gameplay and worse lore).And a year after it will be f2p.
