Obviously if you've tried beta, charm in on GW2. What are your favorite things about the game?

I never played GW1, but I did play D2, WoW, and D3. I'm thinking of getting GW2 and I want to hear what you guys love about the GW series of games.

Where to begin.
The lack of old trinity(healer, tank, dps)
No grinding and dynamic events
World v World PvP and 5v5
Dungeons are actually challenging
Casting while moving
The game is fucking beautiful
The list goes on.

This is GW1 or 2?


Sounds effing awesome.

This is GW2.

Is there actual World PvP (ganking) in GW2?

No. As everyone is the same 'faction' there isnt open world PvP like youre asking about.

Although there is World v World. Where there is a huge fucking map where you fight two other servers in an FFA.

Ah, kind of a bummer but at least there's some PvP.

Is there anywhere I can find info regarding them? Is there a 1v1 duel type pvp?

GW is a competitive rpg. not, "oh at least there's some PvP". much of the game is based upon PvP.

At least we hope so. GW 1 was originally created as a PvP game. You played the PvE campaign and as you got further into the game, you learned PvP mechanics specifically in certain missions 1 at a time. You were then able to go to a PvP arena if you wished instead of continuing and finishing the end of the PvE game.

As far as I am aware, the game is built for PvErs since that is where the money is at and ANet learned from their mistakes from dumping large sums of money in the championships.

If someone knows something I don't about the game being more PvP focused than PvE, I'd be happy to see that source

Either way, I expect a polished game and I expect to waste thousands of hours in GW2. Waiting for this weekend here to hit up a GameStop for a collectors edition pre-purchase so I can hit up the servers the minute the game opens

in WvW with hundreds of people playing you will get yourself into many 1n1 situations
