Easy to pick up hard to put down, rewarding and new from the start.
New and refreshing. Every aspect of this game is a breath of life into the stagnant genre. No longer do players seek out a ? on a map, click, then ignore text, then kill X amount of mobs. Dynamic events and immersible quests have you completing objectives and being rewarded in seamless fashion. Multiplayer and teamwork is encouraged. There is no kill stealing. Everyone is rewarded through exp or items depending on their own contribution in events.
Dark Souls feel. No game has made me look around corners, plan on avoiding traps and luring enemies since Dark Souls. The dungeons in guild wars add a nice challenge and spooky atmosphere and require a steady thoughtful progression.
Bugs. I am reviewing from the 1 week point. Sure there are bugs. Players are in though and we are having great fun. These bugs are tackled head on instantly and Arena Nets support team has been the most impressive out of every game i have played. I reccomend players to look at the GW2 twitter or facebook. Each hour players will know the progress of maintenances or bug fixes. This company is very open with its players.
This is why bugs are forgiven and players move on with a smile. We know A-Net is fixing them. We know A-Net cares. The bugs are so minor that they do not at all affect the over fantastic experience.
