is Guild Wars 2 a good game?

@rarity Absolutely.
-
@nerthos I assume you don't get it for the PvE though right?
-
@rarity I've mostly been playing PvE and WvW now and then, irregularly for like a year.
-
@nerthos how hard is the grind to max level?
-
@rarity I did about 10 levels a day. You'll get an average of 11 levels for each completed map. Grinding is the less efficient way to level up.
-
@nerthos well I meant in general how easy/hard it is to level, maybe grind wasn't the right word. I might look into the game
-
@rarity In any case dungeons and stuff start at level 30 and since loot is leveled you get useful items
-
@rarity It's kind of easy. Even more so if you have a guild because they'll take you to dungeons and the completion bonus usually kicks you up a level.
-
@nerthos the PvP looks really fun so that's why I'm interested. And the fact that it's a pay once kinda thing makes it appealing
-
@rarity IMO the best part about PvP is the survival activities, they're really fun. Regular PvP is scaled to level 80 and only one item has any influence on your stats, so victory is plainly a matter of skill.
-
@nerthos skill is great
-
@rarity Yep. No twinking like in WoW
-
@nerthos that mangoes cherriesed me off so much, back when I just used to play level 15 BG's on a free account. I was pretty good and had decent gear for stuff found in dungeons, but all that meant nothing when a Tauren who looks like a clown comes and blows me up
-
@rarity Best BGs in WoW were 40-50 tier.
-
@nerthos since I've bought the game I'm still stuck at like level 35 or something. I dunno, I haven't payed my subscription since the first month. lel
-
@rarity I always got bored after reaching max level in that game.
-
@nerthos There's not really a lot to do that's fresh unless you're into Arenas, really.
-
@rarity It becomes a gear competition, repetitive raids and arenas. It was more fun pre-TBC because the raids required planning and strategy.
-
@nerthos some people enjoy the gear grind, really
-
@rarity I did some of the gear grind but got bored. I was mostly the guy who planned the strategies back when I played. Either that or organizing raids on my guild to get level 60 gear because it looked good.
-
@nerthos was this before transmog or something (or am I stupid, I've only played since Cataclysm like a plebian)
-
@rarity Pre-cata. Transmog wasn't a thing so few people had the cool old gear so walking around in full T2 was basically the equivalent to being WoW nobility.
-
@nerthos nowadays WoW mobility is whoever buys the fanciest mount
-
@rarity Man, it went down the drain. Back then you could grind your way to 247k gold and if you didn't have a pre-WotLK set or Rivendare's sword or something like that you were just another dude. It was really fun because in every social event people would go to their banks and get the fanciest gear and then compare with the other players
-
@nerthos I hope TES:O is like that. I love to collect clothes/gear I don't need in the TES games
-
@rarity You should look at any of my TES houses. They're basically museums.
-
@awlditzy The issue comes with running out of space to exhibit items
-
@nerthos my house is like that on my Xbox copy but something went wrong with the file and I can't do quests anymore. welp
-
@rarity I have literally no idea how to deal with savefile corruption on consoles
-
@nerthos my solution is to say "cherries it" and obtain a copy for PC (legally of course~) out of anger. That Argonian was so geared too...
-
@rarity PC master race
