New Rig = Best MMO

Title may be confusing to some, but I just wanted to express my opinion here. I have recently been playing Guild Wars 2 again after about another six month break and I did so because I got a new computer system. Been playing the game on very low settings until now and I'm running on Highest with a 1080p resolution and let me say that this game is down right amazing.
The World vs World battles in particular on high settings make this game absolutely epic to me. With no lag and being able to see all the unique characters and their armor/weopons in 100 man battles is so much fun.
I think with the new system that Guild Wars 2 has finally topped Knight Online World as my favorite MMORPG of all time. Hard for me to admit that because I love Knight Online so much, but this game is awesome with a good computer system.
Welp, seeya later.

Play for fun. Play to win. Play for perfection. Play with friends. Play in another world. Why do you play?
Best looking MMO...I'd agree. I think it falls quite a bit short of the being the best MMO, however.
Best MMO is completely dependent on the player (as is looking for that matter).
I'm sure there are several best MMOs out there.
For example, in my opinion, GW2 is the best MMO and I can say it is because of the fluid combat, the event system, the WvW, etc.
And you can say that those characteristics are exactly the ones that turn you off the game.
Another example.
I have no interest in EVE, but if someone tells me that EVE is the best MMO in their opinion, I can understand that there are certain characteristics in EVE that will appeal to certain tastes, just not mine.
Currently playing: GW2
Going cardboard starter kit: Ticket to ride, Pandemic, Carcassonne, Dominion, 7 Wonders
I agree with you, but that is our opinion. Games like GW2 have their own little niche crowd that find them appealing.....

The post was strictly my opinion on how the new rig made WvWvW playable without lag on the highest settings which made this my new favorite MMO of all time. The best MMO in my eyes.
I think GW2 has a little more than a "Niche" crowd. There are a lot of people that play this game.
Every MMORPG caters to a niche crowd, even WOW. (just some are a whole lot bigger than others)
Glad to see better computer significantly improved the experience, frequently is the case if your old rig is too far down the curve.
But just so you know... EVE really is the "BEST" MMORPG.... just no comparison.

GW2 is currently the MMO I most frequently log into, so in my opinion its currently the best MMO.
Pro's:
the people I play games with are all there
no subs means no pressure to over play the game
you can get immersed in what you are doing
there are worthwhile goals - map completion, story quests, legendary crafting, achievements
daily / weekly / monthly goals and rewards keep your friends coming back
everything about water in this game is beautiful, underwater swimming in this game makes me smile
WvW is fun
pay to win gives you better looking gear but with no real advantages
my norn looks damn good
Cons:
No Australian servers
5 person parties are too small, wish you could have 8 person parties in WvW and some larger raids
In too many dungeons its easy to avoid trash if you know the right tactics, and you are considered a noob if you don't know them, dungeons could be more epic
I don't seem to have an issue with the persistant world being too small, I just get engrossed in what I'm doing wherever I'm at.
Playing: Darkfall New Dawn (and planning to play Fallout 76)
Favourite games have included: UO, Lineage2, Darkfall, Lotro, Baldur's Gate, SSX, FF7 and yes the original Wizardry on an Apple IIe
For some reason I don't seem to bitch about GW2 like ALL other mmos....And the Graphics are nice along with good coding to play on lower end machines if needed. The game can get boring fast for me, so I could only play it a week or so at a time every now and then. And I can really appreciate that its Buy-to-play.
However :
- I really don't like the weapons swap to change abilities.
- All audio seems extremely strange. Unique, but strange never the less....from the music to the sound effects.
For sure it's amazing going from low to max after an upgrade, I got mine during the nightmare tower storyline, was just in awe
Kinda wish the game was a bit better optimised to spread the load between cpu and gpu so lower end systems could run it a bit better.

First time on this forum I agree with every point someone makes. Especially after doing world explorer the world no matter if it's a new zone ( like Silverwastes) or old it feels small and not really epic. I lost the "adventure" feeling after i first made it to 60 (yes 60 not 80) The zones are very small and no new ones brings the feeling even more. I remember the feeling when we first played WvW in beta. It was awesome. Far superior to the PvE content they made, where all characters have no character to them. All females look like dolls from barbie series, and men look like them either. I feel like they lost someone who works on characters of the NPCs, world is great but it has no spirit to it. Even the choices of characters we do while creating our character have no influence whatsoever. Why even put it there, unfortunately it feels like they put it there because they didn't have any idea what else to put there.
