TR - Guild Wars 2 has done it. After so many near-misses and mild disappointments, we finally have an MMORPG worthy of becoming the next World of Warcraft. It’s not that Guild Wars 2 radically transforms the genre. If you’re looking for a new approach to combat, character development or basic game mechanics then you’re not going to find it here. What you have got, however, is a game that takes what works about the MMORPG genre and puts it in the foreground, while ruthlessly stripping away or providing workarounds for anything that hinders or slows down the experience.
Wccftech talked to Guild Wars 2 Game Director Josh Davis about the learnings from the Secrets of the Obscure expansion and what's coming to the MMORPG.
The "slippery slope" debate has started, now we wait to see what ArenaNet does.
"ArenaNet and NCSOFT are today very happy and excited to announce that they have just released the "Secrets of the Obscure" expansion for their award-winning and critically acclaimed MMORPG "Guild Wars 2"." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Anet also announced the 5th expansion. "We’ve already started applying lessons from the development of Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure to our fifth expansion, which we expect to be released next year." From their site, been with this game since 1st beta, and announcing the 5th expansion so soon, the game is doing very well, plus the graphics are improved a bit now that it's on DX11🙃
