This is the most stilted MMO I’ve ever played. It has no real identity to it.

The storytelling is virtually non-existent outside of some generic cutscenes. There’s no structure to the game either. No interesting characters or side quest lines to delve into. You just meander from what open-world “event” to another, and that’s it.

To top it off, the game is ugly as sin to look at. Mud brown everywhere with no clarity in the textures. Even 2004 vanilla World of Warcraft had more charm and flavor to it than this shit.

The only real positives that I can see are the combat being pretty fun and that you don’t have to pay a monthly subscription to play it.

Yeah, I tried getting into it multiple times, with different races and classes but it's just so fucking boring. Combat is terrible, story and characters are just awful. Whole game just feels like soulless generic fantasy trash (I played GW1 and it was such a downgrade in pretty much everything that game's setting tried to do.) It plays like a shitty open world rpg since there's no reason to interact with anyone.

Don't care, didn't read. I have fun playing it. I only wish the characters were hotter.

This, the game is literally doing the same shit ad nauseam, once you finished the base game you already played everything the game has to offer, at best they just added some new movement mechanics that really don't add much to the game, you just grind the max level ranks to unlock perks and that's all there is to it.

It's the only mmo that feels like an active online world. You meet and interact with people constantly, very naturally. Slowburn unlocking and progression also contributes to that feel. Very comfy game to comeback too and not scary to take breaks. I give it overall 8.5/10, latest two expansions 6/10 because devs are super lazy and cutting corners.

Elementalist has been in the game since 2012.

GW2 is a comfy second MMO. Best moment to moment gameplay, no sub fee.
I will concede the story is very bad and there a few interesting characters.

Playing an MMO for the story is retarded.
>Mud brown everywhere
You're so retarded you can't even see color, like a dog. GW2 has always been excrutiatingly colorful high fantasy slop and that was always my biggest complaint about it.

Its a fucking MMO, play a movie game if you want 'story'

Is guild wars 2 shit? Yeah, it is, for a lot of the reasons you pointed out, but people want to play MMOs, not watch them, stick to FFXIV if you run down boss hallways and watch NPCs larp

HoT was the peak and it has been a dramatic downslide since then.
