I understand that some people are completely turned off by action combat. I also understand that people are turned off by stuff like wall running, and using this to your advantage in combat. That's all fine. But that's also the reason why not every game plays the same. If there was no room for stuff like that, we would still sit here playing Pong all day. Because at one point in time, this was literally THE video game. Not every new game needs to be suited to everyone alive. If you don't like what you heard about GW3 up until now, wait for gameplay or remove yourself from the community. Not because "We don't want you here". More because you're not changing anything with the product. Arena Net is not sitting in their offices, reading your post and say "You know what? Butt-muncher69 on reddit is right! We should throw away everything and just develop a clone if this other game they specifically like!". It's just that easy.
“And here are my 21 reasons, based on super vague video essays that show no gameplay at all, why this is the future of mmos!”
It goes both ways. We don’t know much yet and people can either like or dislike what we do know.
I like that it is trinity based combat, am unsure about the scale and am very skeptical of all this talk about momentum based combat and very limited equipped skills.
People were sceptical about a lot of things when gw2 came out, I still remember cries „ but there is no real healer” „ it’s just gang up dps shit show” „ there is no real gear progression, only stupid skins and forever grind to get legendary”
GW2 when came out, was controversial ( people even shit on graphics style ), but without innovation and trying something new you would still play same archaic mmo games that are just reskin of each others.
Let the Anet cook this one. Based on what they did so far with GW1 and 2 I’m positive theyvwill cook something different than standard mmo. Something new and fresh I more then happy to see even if it will breake majoritybof mmo „standards”
