    You do realize your avatar makes it kind of difficult to take you seriously.

    You're complaining about something not being 100% unique, and yet you're avatar is from a game that has basically copied everything from other games. Well done.

    You know that got me thinking, I wonder how many MMO's have goblins(The OP's Avatar) as a playable race. There has to be quite a few.

    To be honest, after fighting the dragons mininions on the flying ship, I kept waiting for them to fall onto deathwings back.

    Well evidently he didn't mean he was leaving GW2, because when he responded to me he said he's not nearly finished with the game yet.

    Hey expresso, don't forget the milk.

    Well you do know that dragons can fly so really, how else do you expect to fight a dragon? Trap it in a hole in the ground and kill its welplings first ? oh, wait, that's been done too.

    All die, so die well.

    A fantasy game with a flying ship fighting dragons has been used for a long time, and will continue to be used.

     

    By your logic - you should have left the game when you found out it had swords.

    My favorite is the zone "Arathi Hinterlands."

    Looks like the dragon on the cover of Dragon Age.


    That video wasn't very interesting... until one of them jumped off the ship. LOL

    Or when it had any of the other weapons used (dont feel like making the list)

    Or armor.

    Or magic.

    Or pets.

    Or stuff to kill

    Or crafting

    Or dungeons

    Or PvP

    Its funny how these things work.

    If everyone would stop STEALING ideas from WoW like dragons and airships and magic, we wouldn't be in this mess.

    The zone is actually "Harathi Hinterlands":  http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Harathi_Hinterlands

     

    Hinterlands is a type of area: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinterland

     

    Harathi is a name in Hindi, coming from puja ritual: http://www.babynology.com/meaning-harathi-f30.html

     

    All of that being said - Yes, Harathi Hinterlands is probably a friendly jab at GW2's main competitor.

    A new game with a tragic antagonist who is the commander of an undead army seeking to wipe out all mortals? That's obviously going to catch a lot of flak.

    You mean some jerk stole the "Bad Ash" concept from Army of Darkness?  Or the Witch Kings from LotR?  Or Davey Jones from PotC 2 and 3? 

    Let me at those heathens!

     

    You mean Davey Jones and his locker only came about in those cheesy pirate movies?

     

    Books, check 'em out, BOOKS! Check 'em out...

    That Guild Wars 2 login screen knocked up my wife. Must be the second coming!

    To be fair to the OP, the fist half of the video is nearly an exact replica of the Airship battle in the Deathwing raid.

    You don't fight deathwing on the airship, you fight his minions as they spawn on your ship; While the dragon circles around. The adds keep spawning you keep fighting them and you have to watch not to step in the big red circles.

    When you finally defeat all the adds, you move on to fight the big dragon.

    In WoW you fall onto the dragons back, in this video you go onto a bigger ship and fight more adds then the big dragon. In the end, the big dragon falls down into the abyss.

    Plese, I doubt it. I'm sure he's busy playing something completely original like Diablo 3.

    1. For god's sake mmo gamers, enough with the analogies. They're unnecessary and your comparisons are terrible, dissimilar, and illogical.

    2. To posters feeling the need to state how f2p really isn't f2p: Players understand the concept. You aren't privy to some secret the rest are missing. You're embarrassing yourself.

    3. Yes, Cpt. Obvious, we're not industry experts. Now run along and let the big people use the forums for their purpose.

    Well games Workshop backed out on a deal to have Blizzard make the RTS for them.  Serves them right to have Blizzard convert it to their own IP.

    Boy wish I could say which of you is right. Unfortunately my copy of "How to Fight Dragons for Dummies" is on backorder at Amazon so can't say for sure.

    I hear that the fight should be exclusively in the water. That would of gotten the fans so happy that they might of thrown their computers out the window in pure bliss........ God I hate underwater crap in this game.

  • FrodoFraginsFrodoFragins Member EpicPosts: 5,903

    You look at all of these airships and a dragon could just rip off the engine or rip it apart from underneath.  Sometimes making things look cool just gets ridiculous.  Let's attack a killer shark by floating on teh surface and leaving our legs exposed.  that should work well.

     

    Sure it's nitpicky, but that's why draons in MMO's never make sense.  They always stand on the ground and let people hack them up.

    I can't even COUNT anymore how many of your posts are "quote-worthy" to me.  And here's another.
