I’ve been grinding through Guild Wars 2. I know I don’t often talk about video games here. Not that I don’t like them it’s just that I don’t get the chance to play them as often as I would like. Plus, it’s rare that one come along that I feel is worth both my time and dollars.
So far there’s been a few technical hiccups at the start (still better than some of the crashes with Blizzard on release days). And incredibly there’s already gold farmers, douche bags and phishing for accounts. The good news is that Arenanet has done a pretty good job of cracking down on the crap.
But this post isn’t about that stuff. It’s about having fun! So compared to WoW, here’s what’s cool. The Dynamic Events and Questing. No running around collecting 12 wolf pelts then run back. Just do the crap. The events are just stuff that happens. You don’t have to sit there. Gather a group. Wait for some guy to travel across the map so you can finally do something. Scaling. Hey, it doesn’t matter that you’ve got a few levels under our belt. It’s easy to run over to one of the other race’s starting areas and adventure away. And you can still have some challenge and drops that aren’t total trash.
Now, I haven’t messed with the auction house or World vs World combat yet but that’s next on my to do list. Mostly, the WvW. I never was one who enjoyed crafting and cornering the market on something. It’s just too much like job. So along with all the other crap I’m trying to do. I’m just going to carve out a little for some R&R in GW2.
Oh, and the best thing. But the game and no subscription.
