Guild Wars 2 - Part 2: MMO Co-Opportunities Volume XXVIII

A couple months back I did a “traditional’ MMO Co-Opportunities on Guild Wars 2. The overarching theme I highlighted about the game was how it encouraged people to work together. Even if players aren’t grouped, they can still get credit for quests/events, and get loot off the mobs they work to kill together. Instead of a competing against other players for PVE (player versus environment) content, buy Guild Wars 2 gold players are encouraged with work with them. For this month’s column, I decided to do a follow-up - or a “part 2, if you will. This time I’ll focus on the PVE “end-game” of Guild Wars 2.

After playing the game from release (over two months now!), I’ve gotten two characters to max level and geared out. My guild primarily focuses on PVE, and so the cooperative end-game for us is dungeons. Some of you may play Guild Wars 2, but haven’t quite capped out your character. Others may be interested in the gw2 gold game, but haven’t picked it up because they’re curious about what the end-game content is like. Hopefully I can give you a picture of how it plays.

Dungeons are scattered across the world and are available throughout the levels. When your character reaches the appropriate level for one, you’ll receive a nice in-game mail notifying you of this and a helpful link to show you where it is on the map. Each dungeon has two types of mode: Story and Explorable. Story mode will take you through the story of the dungeon and upon completion will unlocked Explorable mode for your character. The first time you complete story mode you’ll also get a rare hat of the appropriate level for the dungeon. Explorable mode is balanced for five levels after story mode, and provides multiple paths which each have their own bosses and unique mechanics. While explorable modes become unlocked only five levels after the story mode, they are clearly intended for level 80s (the max level), as completing them puts you on the track to purchase level 80 exotic gear. Before I get to all that, though, here’s a list of the Guild Wars 2 dungeons, and their recommended levels:

Ascalonian Catacombs (AC) - Story at 30, Explorable at 35
Caudecus’ Manor (CM) - Story at 40, Explorable at 45
Twilight Arbor (TA) - Story at 50, Explorable at 55
Sorrow’s Embrace (SE) - Story at 60, Explorable at 65
Citadel of Flames (CoF) - Story at 70, Explorable at 75
Honor of the Waves (HotW) - Story at 76, Explorable at 80
Crucible of Eternity (CoE) - Story at 78, Explorable at 80
The Ruined City of Arah (Arah) - Story at 80, Explorable at 80

The magazine commented as follows:
Guild Wars 2 looks like that the artistic director Daniel Dociu lead you to the taste of a detailed abstract concept of the art world, in the game, everything came so incredible. ArenaNet art director Daniel Dociu men's artistic team, show us an impressive game screen. Generally speaking, large MMO games for some of the game's performance is bound to sacrifice part of the gw2 gold game effect. In Guild Wars 2, and all this can be described as spectacular!

Guild Wars 2 Review

Carol Pinchefsky from Forbes also reviewed (the PvE-side of) the game, and came away with a very positive 9 out of 10:

I mean this in a good way: Some aspects of GW2 seems to have been created by list. Take a list of everything that has annoyed players in other MMOs, and you’ll see that ArenaNet has put serious thought into eliminating those flaws. Hate to spend time locating a quest giver in order to find something to do? Here, you can wander into quests, which are clearly labeled on the map. Want a non-violent approach to your gw2 gold game? You can gain experience from baking bread. GW2 has created a genuinely new experience that changes your expectations of what an MMO is supposed to do. Whether the changes work for you may depend on what you’re used to, but the attempt is brave, and for the most part, successful.

The fact that GW2 seems like an anti-[insert name of popular MMO here] checklist may be to its detriment. Players who enjoy games like [insert name of popular MMO here] may decry GW2′s lack of structured quests, and its continuous gameplay may feel to some like a grind. If you’re the kind of player who likes to work through a stack of quest assignments, you’re out of luck here. And you can’t track dynamic events at all, they just happen around you. As a result, if you’re in too much of a hurry to work through an area you could miss out on a lot. But since GW2 isn’t charging you by the month, take it easy, see what happens, and you’ll experience more of what the gw2 gold game has to offer.

The variety of different activities on offer, plus the fact that dynamic events will spawn all about you as you travel, means there’s a very good chance you’ll end up doing something entirely different than you’d originally planned when you logged in. I love the flow of GW2, a flow that leads me continually forward, and there is adventure wherever I go.

The best part of GW2 is the fact that the game gives you the freedom and flexibility to play your own way…so much so that I’ve only just spent the length of this article reviewing player vs. environment combat. I haven’t even touched on the two other aspects of the game, player vs. player and world vs. world combat. That will wait for part two of my review, coming soon.

Despite the few niggling bugs and the less-than-polished inventory system, this could have been a complete winner. It was only the lack of emotional attachment to my character that put a crimp in this game’s awesome style. Still, ArenaNet has built an MMO that I want to play. Because of this, I give GW2 a 9 out of 10 — for PvE.

What about PvP and even WvW? Stay tuned for part two.

Many details about The Elder Scrolls Online

ZeniMax Online is pleased to present things prepared for you in The Elder Scrolls Online. Even though we are told that in this video we review only some basic elements of the gw2 gold game, the team engaged in the manufacture MMORPG developed very interesting topics, and classes to be included, combat system, revolutionary technology to be adapted for the big and the only server (Megaserver), the PVP (wow how many characters ...), so the graphics of the game. In my opinion, if The Elder Scrolls Online will not have a monthly fee and adopt the model of Guild Wars 2 will quickly become a commercial success and one of the MMOG market reference sites.

"The Lost Shores" will be the next update of Guild Wars 2

Through the gw2 gold game's official website, NCsoft and ArenaNet have unveiled the first details of "The Lost Shores", the next update will receive Guild Wars 2 and hopefully by the end of this month. Not much information is given, with the following message: "Something is moving in the Sea of ​​Sorrows ... Unravel a mystery of monstrous proportions in The Lost Shores, a massive global event that will change only Tyria forever. "This is because the second major event that users can enjoy Guild Wars 2 after the recent "Mad King's Shadow."

Next Guild Wars 2 major content update arriving 15th November

Now it seems that due to Hurricane Sandy, there are many gamers affected by it which at the same time has affected their ability to play Guild Wars 2, which means that they are missing out on the Halloween special. Unsurprisingly many of these gamers have reached out to ArenaNet, asking them if it was possible for them to extend their Shadow of the Mad King Halloween event to make up for “lost time”. Unfortunately for those players, it looks like ArenaNet will not be doing so, but at the same time it was revealed that this was because ArenaNet has a major content updated scheduled for the 15th of November.

“We heard your questions about extending the Halloween event for those of you affected by Sandy. Unfortunately we cannot do that, but the reason why we can’t is exciting: We are preparing for our big November update, which will start on November 15, and there will be content that will be in the gw2 gold game prior to that, leading up to the event. But we also want to use this moment to remind you all that your personal safety is much more important than any computer game. If you could be affected by the storm, please listen to the authorities and take every precaution to ensure you and your loved ones are safe. Tyria will still be there once the storm is over.”

We’re not sure what sort of content update we can expect, and in a way this is good news especially for Guild Wars 2 players who might already be looking forward to new content, although at the same time it is disappointing for some gamers who were looking forward to achievements or items available only during the Halloween event. In any case we can’t help but echo ArenaNet’s sentiments in that their safety is more important than a video game.<Source>
