Guild Wars 1

Why did they change the best MMORPG to the abomination who have today? What was the thought process behind destroying the unique skill system?


btw. Favorite Skill?

we*

for some reason they went with the 'every class can do every role' thing because they lived in some bizzarro world where people hate making new characters

also repeating strike is my favorite

3 main creators left to make other games (one of them made Terra) and Anet went full sjw and hired fat lesbians instead of them and worst game ever was made. Favorite skills were empathy and backfire.

Diversion was one of the most insidious spells on the planet.

Also best skill icon coming through

I remember reading somewhere during the time people are speculating about Utopia, Izzy said that he wanted to vastly reduce the number of skills for the next GW to make his balancing job easier.
I think GW2 is the direct result of his agenda....

They should just create utopia anyway. I think they would still get profit from that..

>"Wouldn't it be fun if we changed Necromancers from GW1 to confetti summoners?"-Anet.

Still to this day biggest buyer's remorse I've had is GW2 and I bought plenty of shitty games you can see on AVGN videos, including most of Atari games.

I hated mesmers so damn much.

Spoil Victor might also be a favourite.

Yeah Mesmers were meant to be dicks.

>go do Alliance battles
>have bunch of anti elementalist and anti assassin spells
>only follow and focus those guys throughout the entire match like some autist

It was fun though

What is this year April Fool prank in GW1? I might reinstall if they still care ;_;

Guild wars wasn't an MMORPG.
It was an Instanced ARPG with lobby system.

>It was an Instanced ARPG with lobby system.
I bought it thinking it'll be like Phantasy Star Online. I never regretted making that mistake at all.

Literally the same thing, it's like people arguing if something is hard rock or metal, GW won couple of MMO awards.

It's more like saying showing up to a friends garage band rehearsal is going to a huge concert.

Because WoW

If those garage rehersals could get best live performance awards like all others then yes, but seeing how it's not the case then no, bad example.

Your argument is invalid and ignored. Here's your response, go fuck off now.

Nice ad hominem and instant L.

Simply can't match IQ, you need to read much more before you get to my level.

Do you rather go to your favorite band huge concert or a friend garage where your favourite band is doing a secret rehearsal/chillin out?

>empathy and backfire

My dude, I know that feel so well. Mesmer was an amazing class to play.

>ad hominem
Either you don't know what that means or you don't know how to recognize it. Six of one half a dozen of the other.
