Do you think this game will get taken too seriously like WOW?

[Sarcon]

i hope there will be guilds, but at the same time i hope the dynamic events are similar to other games i wont name in that anyone who participates and contributes gets rewarded just not the top person. as far as raids go i highly doubt it (as far as instanced progression raids), they have said there will be 4 man PVE instances but that is more group content. from what ive seen from livestreams (not said but seen), it seems progression is far more casual and luck driven than having to be in X guild to be able to progress through X raids.

I haven't seen anything comparable to WoW yet when it comes to endgame. I'm talking about vanilla WoW here, 40 man raids, 40 people in TS, every single one of them concentrated .. not to f-u-c-k up.

Everything after that was basically a joke ..

So I'm hoping, that Trion will give us something similar, that is hard to crack, secrets that are left uncovered, undocumented and unpublished, for the community to find out and solve, no hints, no nothing.

It's hard to make it so hardcore and make it accessible to the casual market at the same time. I just want it to where if you like the hardcore stuff have fun but if you don't you can still have fun without it. There are days on GW2 where I don't want to party up at all and others where thats all I'm doing.

I think you might of missed my point I don't mean serious as in will the game get taken seriously I mean I hope people play for fun instead of like wow where some people take it a bit too far.

ANY game that has raids, endgame grinding and weapons and guilds will ALWAYS have those kinda ppl.. theres always gonna be that guild or guilds that wanna be the best (or one of the best) and be known of by everyone and being in one of those guilds/clans is usully all serious busines). I would know I was in one such guild for 3 years and lead one such guild for another 4 years after that lol.

Of course there was one that was so serious they required every member give out their phone number... and one of the healers got called at 3am to come online and revive a clan member who died in a dangerous area lol.... Im like ok I may be serious myself but im not crazy i know when and where to draw the line... and something like THAT is DEFINITELY crossing it... Id curse someone out if they called me and woke me up at 3am for some crap like that... by the time I was done theyd be too scared to ever call me again lol.

no they wont give us any of that after all this is "a shooter first and an mmo second" and stuff like that doesnt happen in shooters.. Im guessing the only similarities thisll have to WoW or any MMORPG is the its in an open persistent work with quests and hundreds of ppl exist and interact at the same time.

time will tell as more details are released besides the combat that has been shown so far.

they still havnt even told us all the pvp modes yet, only hinted there are more beyond death match, shadow war, and capture the point.

or about dungeons ie how many there will be etc

Since the game is a shooter its not as math heavy as WoW and can be a game a player can pick up, play PVP in different modes and then put down. With the main story world literally in the same map one can invest more time. The great thing about the game is that it can attract a casual gamer and people who normally invest alot of time and energy into their characters. SO yea there will be people treating the game perhaps more seriously that it should and there will also be the players looking for a pickup PVP every now and again. It's a shooter so it adds a different dynamic

does anyone remember the AQ event in wow? something along that line, it requires guilds to work together though

What we real need is a place or a game mode that lets the hardcore be hardcore and if you go there, you know that A game is a joke and you need SS rank game. It is a shooter, people need to know that a shooter is about skill, if you have it you can't help but show it in this type of game. Even in groups, the score will be show at the end they will know how good you did. Others will find out and like "likes" it will add up. If there is a place that kind of player can go and look like a joke b/c of AI or other players just like him/her. That would be a place I would like to plant my flag.

A Ego power level will set up who you face in PVP so this will keep it so that OP gear dose not change the outcome of a fight.
The players will have to let each other know how good they are, now don't go around casting Doom on peoples moms and what not. It will be up to the Dev's to make a mode or a place for the so called best to lose the so called.
