I played the first Guild Wars quite a bit. Went through and beat all the expansions ect ect. I know GW2 has been out for some time, so figured now is the best time to ask. Is GW2 worth the purchase? Better or worse than GW1? All personal opinions welcome!


e/ Askin in regards as to if I should buy ROS and start back D3 or go back and try out the new GW

I won't sit here and tell you if it's good enough to play for 10 years like Diablo 2
That's all up to your own tastes of gaming
But I will say that it's at least good enough to buy and play something new for a few months
It is a fun game

For me coming from PvP only to gw2 was a shock. It sucks for PvP, unless you consider WvW PvP then it's ok.

The PvE however is fun. I do enjoy it enough to keep me playing. It's best played with friends.

I'd say buy it and try it. The worst that can happen is you play it for a few months. Even then it's worth it.

Ok well I bought this game 2 years ago and I only played roughyl 40hours ingame I liked it.
Its Decent but you also gotta look at The Zones you level in will Downgrade ur Damage and level to that Zone.
So if ur Level 40 but you have not fully completed a level 10 Zone you will be downgraded to a level 10
this is to make Higher level characters be able to help level lower levels.


I Bought reaper of Souls for D3 I loved Playing D3 after Patch 2.0.0 I honestly prolly put 200hours into the game before Launch of RoS
When RoS launched i got 4x characters to 70 than game just got real bored for me Even know Adventure mode is Fun it seems like Nobody wants to play game Legitly anymore, all they want is to be Powerleveled.


Guildwars 1 - 2 U get the Ability to Jump (+) u can Craft diffrent things /(Food/Armor/Jewelery/Weapons) U also have an Auction house Also they bring updates to game like every 2weeks

Jumped to the last line in hopes it was a tl;dr. Got as far as the ability to jump, stopped reading.

Yes, this is totally a key feature of the game and needs mentioning, totally. The z-axis is a waste, they could have added so much more to it.

The Z-axis is nice because of the underwater content. I'm sort of hoping that someday, there will by flying, with mid-air combat.
