What I Love About Guild Wars 2
Guild Wars 2 is an MMORPG that launched August 28th in 2012 (25th with 3 day headstart) and is celebrating its 10th anniversary. With the Steam release and the celebration, I wanted to take this opportunity and take a step back and focus on why I love this game so much. Starting with a brief history of the long wait of 5 years before the game actually released and then talking about the 3 things that make this game so special to me.
"What I Love About..." is a video series heavily indulging in nostalgia. Focusing mainly on why a game is particularly amazing to me. Blending personal stories, highlights and facts to take you on a trip down memory lane.

    The one feature that I wish they kept in Gw2 was the skill capture system. Seriously, they could've taken anything else away but if they kept the skill capture system, GW2 would be a bigger gem than it is right now. That Skill capture system with the fact that NPCs used players skills really made me explore GW1. Seeing an NPC using Unsteady Ground and then going "I want THAT!!!!" and then replaying the instance, running all the way there, just to get that skill. Or when I absolutely got bodied by Ice Imps using Maelstrom and I went "Oh so that's what that does" and I equipped it and made sure to use it on them first. That is what I call horizontal progression. Technically, Rangers in GW2 have that feeling because they have to go to specific places to get their pets but its only for one class. GW2 could do with such a system that really gets you invested in the skills you have or can gain. Another thing that was fun was figuring out the tactics to take on groups of mobs. I landed on this strat that mostly works when your NPCs don't spam all the wrong skills on the wrong targets. I always had two Eles in my 8 man, both had the same 3 main skills and after that AoE fire skills that caused burning. Unsteady Ground, Maelstrom and Meteor Shower, (don't ask about my attribute set-up) all skills that interrupt when attacking, casting, and MS just knocks folks on their butt. Hit the healer with Maelstrom, hit the Melee with unsteady, wipe out the healer quickly whilst the melee War keeps the enemy Melee in check and burn through the rest afterwards with Meteor showers. You know how they said the final boss in EoTN would get enraged if you keep interrupting her? Yea, didn't matter. Burned through her with my two Eles and a NPC interrupt Ranger. I even ran a few people through the hard mode for free. Those were fun times indeed.

    I recently started playing Guild Wars 1 again after feeling the urge to play a game with strong build craft. The amazing ability to create so many different viable builds in PvE was why I loved the game. It gives you a freedom you don't find even in Guild Wars 2. Plus being able to customize my team makes the experience evergreen. And I love that about the game. Although I do have to disagree with you about the energy and adrenaline system. They're not hard to balance. Guild Wars 1 had far bigger balancing problems with the number of unique skill effects and the problem with duplicates. If you got a hex on you for example it could be doing 1 of over 100 different things. This seriously punished players for lack of game knowledge. Guild Wars 2 suffers from its balance because they abandoned energy as a mechanic and we see builds that optimize skill rotation rather than a more reactive or proactive style of gameplay. Its made it impossible for them to balance boons the way the originally intended and just made sure everyone could provide the needed boons in the new meta. Energy is a balancing pillar and Guild Wars 2 yanked it out of place meaning it has fewer leavers to use to balance skills.

    My favorite thing is the end game (and just dungeons in general). And I know a lot of MMO players always say this but seriously, it was an intense and difficult part of the game. It required you to tune your builds precisely so that they were good against the endgame, and have a solid strategy going in. Some of this endgame was dungeons based around the realms of gods in the Pantheon, which allowed them to be incredibly creative with level design and enemy design. In one dungeon you'd be fighting eldritch squid demons and demon minotaurs in the Underworld, the next you're fighting stone summit dwarves inside a mountain deep in the Shiverpeaks. It always delivered throughout the entire game a seamless believable fantasy work that is still solid to this day. These dungeons were difficult but gave you unique items you could only get in there that were good for PVP and making PVE much easier. I used to farm these endlessly, and then drop rate is so low that it requires this, giving these dungeons more replayability. One of the coolest aspects of these dungeons was actually a core part of the game: stealing skills from boss enemies. This was how you got the best skills in the game, which was why I loved farming dungeons so much. They purposely locked strong and unique skills behind hard bosses in the dungeons so that EVERYONE had the incentive to farm them, not JUST people who like to collect stronger gear (like a popular old MMO we know). This affected PVP greatly because some people would have these skills, and other people of the same class wouldn't. It added SO much build diversity to the PVP play. You'd get hit by something and be like "WTF did he just use??". You'd have to look it up and say "oh I can only get that from X boss in Y dungeon" and you'd go pick that up yourself. Fantastic game with genius and addicting reward structures that don't require real-world money to participate in. I love Guild Wars 1.

    small thing with the game but I always thought the achievement system was so cool. When a player did an achievement it would win him favor with the gods which would allow everyone else to enter their realms (UW/FoW) without having a scroll. It was so cool that your achievements you were doing solo had an impact on every other player. I remember a weekend where they had double LB/Paragon points and so many people maxed it out that we had favor in the game for like 6 months in a row!

    Now that you go through it, it is pretty poor decision of them to present you, as a brand new player who has no existing characters and no idea about the game, with options for PvE and PvP modes, with no indication that you can take PvE characters into PvP, but not the other way around. IDK how but 12 y/o me with some special edition of the game that came with keys for Prophecies and Factions somehow ended up playing in the "correct" order with making a PvE character on Prophecies first, but even after finishing that campaign still not realising there was a boat in Lion's Arch you could take to go to Cantha and then Elona lol.
