    Again like FPS there is not a end game it is up to player what is. Take for example Battlefield 3 if you 100 Colonel you still play the game still provides a challenge to some degree your experience may give an advantage but you do not have a statistical advantage in anyway...


    Thank you for that explanation! It cleared things up for me quite well. :D

    To me, Guild wars blows both WoW and Diablo out of the water in literally everything, Graphics, Gameplay, Community, Everything.


    Yeah. The community in WoW is definitely not the greatest. :P
    I think I'm going to purchase GW2 when I have the money (as I am an unemployed 16 year old with no source of income). :D

    PvP wise Guild Wars 2 wins. Because it has both Structured PvP with tournaments the professions are balanced for PvP from the get go it was even considered to be a Esport and still is but various features need to be implemented. WvWvW which is large scale warfare over 4 territories across 3 servers. Every two weeks you get matched up accordingly to new servers that perform similar then you so its not a landslide victory currently because it only has been out for a 2 weeks pretty much it hasn't taken full effect but with the accelerated match ups it has balanced it nicely so far.

    Now what Guild Wars 2 misses that is in WoW is "raid" focused content. You cannot get 24-48 people raids other then that the PvE in Guild Wars 2 is just reworked PvE from the WoW or any other MMORPG formula. Some people like Raids its understandable but GW2 does not cater to that group.


    The way I see it is that Guild Wars 2 offers the FPS like replay ability. Instead of playing for stats to give you a advantage as WoW does you play because you want too. I have played 2000+ of Battlefield 2 with ~15 maps not for an advantage over another player but just to play and enjoy the game. WvW/SPvP even the PvE content of Guild Wars 2 follows much more to this formula then WoW does which does entirely focus a gear treadmill a significant cliff at times. Now I am not saying Guild Wars 2 has "~15 maps esek feeel" it has plenty of content however how that content is supposed to be played is different then WoW or a comparable MMORPG entirely.

    Guild Wars 2 is new it is designed differently then WoW is in almost every area while mechanics are shared they are presented differently no one can pull the "WoW clone" card this time. I understand why your friends would prefer if they have played WoW for awhile because they spent hefty sum of cash on it and is attached for that reason and nostalgic reasons as well I was too and still am with several games.


    Diablo 3 isn't similar to either of the two games. Diablo 3 isn't even a MMORPG par se the reason why D3 require online connection because Blizzard based the game entirely around the real cash auction house they have in the game. Diablo itself still is considered a SP game 1-3 with co-op capabilities. And even if they do not agree with that then we can still say D3 "grinds" is more comparable to WoW then Guild Wars 2 especially with SPvP where you get all the equal gear no matter what level even lvl 1.

    Form a proud owner of Guild Wars 2 who bought it the first 2 minute it was available. Now since I am home I will play the rest of the night away. So maybe I am biased.


    Thanks! I found that very informative! :D
    I'm starting to lean more towards GW2 now. I feel as if it would entertain me a lot longer.
    But one last question: Does GW2 have an end-game? When I hit max level am I going to be bored? My friends told me GW2 didn't have an end-game. I'm not entirely sure how true that is, as they are biased against GW2, so I'd like to hear from someone that actually plays GW2 if it has one or not.

    posted a message on WoW vs GW2 (vs Diablo 3?)
    I am debating on what game I want to play. WoW or Guild Wars 2. Much of the internet that I've Googled said Guild Wars 2 was better. My friends said WoW is better. They said WoW is better than GW2 because it (GW2) is so much like Diablo 3, and Diablo 3 got very boring very quick.

    Between WoW and GW2, I'm looking for a game that has amazing PvP (PvP makes the game for me) and that I could play for a long time without getting bored of it. Guild Wars 2 looks better in my personal opinion. The one time fee, better graphics than WoW, better PvP (says all of the internet sources I've seen), and better character customization make me think GW2 is a better choice. I'd like to hear some opinions from other people before committing a monthly payment for WoW.

    So, tell me, in terms of PvP and how long I could play the game without getting bored, which game would you all prefer? WoW or GW2?

    posted a message on Ever since LAN update my servers take forever to poll?
    Quote from LuisAdeur

    Antivirus? or maybe the server is down? have you tried in another computer with different internet? like tell a friend to connect

    I don't think it's my antivirus. I have AVG and it hasn't ever given me any problems before. It's not anything on the servers' parts because it happens to every server I connect to. All of my friends can connect to all of them just fine. It's like it's my internet. Except I don't see how it can be my internet when I can join servers on any other game just fine..

    The direct connect won't work. When I try that I get a prompt saying:
    "Failed to connect to the server
    Connection refused: connect"

    Or you can try just typing the direct connect and 127.0.0.1 that's for local.

    posted a message on Ever since LAN update my servers take forever to poll?
    Well the problem is basically the title. Ever since the LAN update came out, my servers take forever to poll.
    When I'm at the Minecraft main screen I click on multiplayer. I come to the screen with all my servers I have listed. They say "Polling..." for like 5 minutes before I can actually join the server I want to join. I can still join servers, it's just that it takes forever to do so, and the problem is rather irritating. Help?

    posted a message on shortyusa Airsoft Retailer Restock?
    I'm looking to purchase the Cybergun FAMAS SV Tactical Softair Spring Rifle from www.shortyusa.com. The problem is the gun is out of stock. Could anyone that has any special information tell me when or how long this item takes to restock? I've searched around on Google and all I've gotten from that is each gun has a different restocking rate. Here's the link to the gun, if anyone should need that for any reason.:P

    EDIT: For some reason I cannot link directly to the gun page... so just go to http://www.shortyusa.com/. Click on Spring Guns. Enter into the Search FAMAS. Click on the Cybergun FAMAS SV Tactical Softair Spring Rifle. Thanks to anyone that could help, or that could attempt to help.

    PS. I'm too lazy to register for the site(so they can notify me when the gun restocks), mainly because I do not feel like bothering my parents for their credit card information.:P

    posted a message on Scariest game ever in your opinion?
    The Penumbra games, which IMO are not nearly as popular as they should be, are rather scary. Those were made by the people that made Amnesia. But for me, it would be a tie between Amnesia, the Penumbra series, and the Dead Space series.

    posted a message on iOS 5.0.1 Untethered Jailbreak?
    Does anyone know when a fully untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1 will be here? Google isn't giving me any answers except "It isn't here yet, but it will be soon!"... Which was roughly a month or so ago. I have an iPhone 4 and I would like to jailbreak it again. Can anyone out there enlighten me on when an untethered jailbreak will be out? Or if there will even be one?
