Guild Wars 2 Guild Wars 2 is a massive multiplayer online role-playing game developed by AreaNet and published by NCsoft. This game is set in the fantasy world of Tyria and follows the reappearance of Destiny’s Edge, a disbanded guild dedicated to fighting the Elder Dragons, a species that has maintained control of Tyria since the original Guild Wars. Guild Wars 2 is a unique game in its own right as it features a storyline that utilizes the ripple effect and is responsive to the player’s actions. The character’s fate is left completely up to the players from the very beginning of the game as they create their characters. The race of your character plus the class of …show more content…
It offers top-quality content without the subscription fee that comes with most decent MMO games, such as World of WarCraft. Although the bugs and glitches in the gameplay and graphics are irritating, they aren’t enough to overshadow the impact of the game.
Guild Wars 2 makes for a very fun and addictive game to spend hours and hours playing. All your skills, statistics, and other important information, such as quests and where you are in relation to nearby events and activities, are laid out in a neat manner. This, in turn, carries over into the map system, which never fails to tell you where you are, where you’ve been, and advise you on where you should or shouldn’t go. It also tells you what levels are best suited for the area you’re in. It’s a smooth process that makes the game so much …show more content…
Instead of becoming a sitting duck while your skills cool down, the game makers have designated a button to dodge maneuvers, which can, and will, save your life many times over if timed correctly. The skills you have are also made for specific weapon types, which makes being able to swap between different weapon sets in mid-combat a key strategy. For example, with the agile thief, it’s best to use a bow and arrow to pull opponents away from their groups and then quickly switch weapon sets out to daggers or pistols and jump into deadly close-combat attacks.
However, there’s no need to worry about having a healer on hand if you get injured. Guild Wars 2 has effectively eliminated the usual approach to classes like “healer classes” by giving each the ability to be a little bit of everything. Leveling your character allows you to allocate points into unlocking more skills, allowing you to build your character the way you want to. This flexible system puts an interesting spin on the cooperative aspects of Guild Wars
