  1. Thank you for your comments, I did in fact miss out on LS1 and 2 and tried my best to fill the gap by checking videos and do homework on my end before engaging in the expansion that is HoT... I however wish to express an apology if I seemed disrepectful towards the devs work... I might have written the whole thing in a negative state of mind, which isn't built on rage but on nostalgia and bitterness on my end. In fact I believe Arenanet's games have allways been a beacon towards which other MMO's should aspire to... their games have flaws as all games do, but their marketing and bussiness model is purely examplary and most of all (I can't stress this enough) the community of gamers feels outlandishly positive, at least it allways felt that way for me... So ofcourse, feeling no longer in my element in this game, in which I "flourished" as a gamer... is certainly cause for a little heartbreak... I didn't see it coming either and was caught off guard.As for the "Kawai flower power" statement... to clarify I intially felt like playing an RPG with a very unique setting, rough, brutal, beautiful and Epic, then I suddenly fell down a rabbit hole and felt like I shifted into a JRPG similar to Final Fantasy Online (no offense to anyone, but it's just not my thing... I can't go from talking to a big nasty Dragon, to a talking Cactus moments after without my immersion flipping me off). I felt off put by the character designs for one, but I could eventually work past that... but the dialogues between the Npc's felt so incredibly cheesy to me and made me cringe. As for the gameplay I had experienced, which turned out to be more challenging imho, (which is a good thing) lost something in the immersion department, it no longer felt like an epic adventure but like a... game. So, what I wish to say, is simply that I understand that the team changed overtime, the game had to adapt and evolve as everything else ultimately must, and seeing how much I cared about Guild Wars, I am sorry to realize I can no longer enjoy it. If this post ever felt like a rant, my mistake, because I inteded it to be a farewell letter :).Perhaps I hoped someone would convince me that I was wrong, that the game miraculously turns back around a little further down the road.Good luck to all of you, and good luck to the team.
  2. Hey all, this will be my first post on this forum and I do this in order to get an actual answer, whether it's just me or it is an actual thing.I played GW2 from launch and came back every now and then when I took a break from GW2. I also played GW1 which to me was arguabmy the very best MMO I ever played to this day, mainly because it didn't feel as an MMO... Regardless, Last time I came back to GW2 I made my way through the story line and went on to start HoT (prologue I think), "rally at maguuma" or some such... didn't play the living seasons that came before it. To me something was very wrong... first off the characters such as that hello kitty Charr, the miniature kawaii asura, the fashion-aware Norn etc... but worst of all were the dialogues. they were cringy and downright retarded imho, further on I stumbled on the crashed zeppelin and it all felt like some arcade platformer game, which allready put me off even if I did enjoy jumping puzzles from the vanilla game. The whole way you had those two misses commenting about the many deaths around us in the same way Miss France and Miss Universe would act, I expected them to faint over the intese emotions ..... -_-' ... then finally after some very game-like features I found the evil assassin and that fight felt so surreal... I was about as immersed as If I'd had to fight crash bandicoot... no longer was this game the epic RPG I had loved for a decade (including GW1). Lots of people tend to say GW story writing isn't that good to begin with, and I see their point but I did very much enjoy the the main story arc despite it's shortcomings. But I see no mention of anyone having felt what I experienced... no transition in style at all between the base game and this new "Kawaii cute kitty flower power" style felt like a suckerpunch in the b*lls... I left on the spot not to return a few months back... Today nostalgia made me look some more into this until I ended up here. Please do not hate me for saying these things if they offend... I simply would like to hear from others what they think on the subject. PS: I am not much for JRPG's in general and personally dislike FF online, it's simply not my cup of tea.
