Well it is balls. How much do you like being frustrated by unoptimized character build trees? You will like Guild Wars that much! Because after a while, all you fucking do is dick around with your character's build, trying to squeeze another precious regen pip or point of stank damage out of your available skills and stats.
There are some very cool and interesting ways to squeeze the last point of stank damage out of your shit. Players come up with all kinds of hella innovative ways to make the game structure work in their favor - for example, if you do necromancy, you can make yourself an elite zombie Republican Guard, cast a spell on each zombie to make it blow up and do AOE poison when it dies, then stack a spell on each one that drains its life, and THEN, after it heals you and blows up to poison your foes, you have a necro ability that harvests mana for everything that dies in your vicinity, so you get a mana bump both from the zombie and the monstaaar.
THEN YOU CAST WELL OF BLOOD ON THE DEAD MONSTAAAR AND MAKE MASSIVE REGENERATION FOR EVERYONE THAT STANDS AROUND IT. A big regeneration bonfire.
Then you go to pvp, where all kinds of crazy stank damage squeezing is going on.
The downside is of course that you only get to use eight skills. You can pick them however you want. You can change them for free every time you go to town. But you only have eight. If you're doing the zombie->life tap->poison explosion->well of blood dance, that's half your skill bar. (The mana bump is innate, praise Allah.)
No, the downside is that you're playing Guild Wars. SO. FRUSTRATING. Also, you can't just jump around. You can't jump off a stair one foot from the ground. It's a little two-dimensional for a three-dimensional game. |

So far, for me, the game looks like a big BSOD. That's just me, though. :( NT by laudablepuss 10/18/2006, 1:24am PDT
