Today marks the release of new content in Guild Wars 2. We had a team take part in a preview of Flame & Frost: The Gathering Storm. See what we discovered before leaving your thoughts in the comments.
The tour started off with a look into the Spirit Watch PvP map. Right away I was just in awe at how amazing this map looks. Plant life and architecture fill your screen, giving you an epic setting to do battle in. This map also had several layers of elevation, offering a ton of interesting ways for players to strategize against the other team. But this also served as just another way to create a visually pleasing experience for PvP players.

Hodor!
SO the game has been out 6 months and you are complaining that the additions are small? You really went there?
Hodor!
They want to perfect the domination map style and not have to balance several different map styles whilst also juggling profession balance on each map.
To be honest, I understand what you mean about playing the same game-type but the maps are so different that for me, that just doesn't come into play.
This is not a game.
Each map follows the superset of domination-style rules but they are all VERY different.
They've already said this was done to support a simple framework for players to understand and easily cast. They are thinking about GW2 pvp in terms of esport and they believe that this suits that purpose.
I find it funny (and sad) that ANet believes a inter-guild interaction will happen with this 'guild missions' even though GW2's guild system is horrendously bad.
I can understand trying to focus a lot of the game mechanics in guilds (influence / quests etc) but focusing on an area where the support system isn't there for the playerbase / Guild members seems bizzare.
Gdemami -
Informing people about your thoughts and impressions is not a review, it's a blog.
looked GW2 after last patch, seems like major nerf, offer nothing much compare to what was taken.
guess it time to forget about and move away.
try before buy, even if it's a game to avoid bad surprises.
Worst surprises for me: Aion, GW2
