I like WoW, and I like GW2, and I especially like that GW2 is different from WoW.
I really hope you've been enjoying WoW classic! I personally didn't have the patience to go back through everything in vanilla and TBC for a second time, but the nostalgia hit me hard. I won't knock modern WoW, but something about playing during the TBC/WotLK era just hit different.
Anyway, GW2 is my jam now, but I'm glad that we have both.
I played WoW for sixteen years. Finally had enough of the subscription grind, the associated FOMO, and the constant resetting of all gear progression with each expansion. Took a year off of MMOs and then picked up GW2.
BTW, GW2 doesn't have weekly downtime like WoW does.
The gear and stat reset in elder scrolls online made me quit that game. I struggled to figure my best set up and then to have it reset was just too much. I did not know WoW did that. I was considering picking it back up but definitely not.
@what_was_not_said@SHOW_ME_YOUR_ASSHOLE WoW will always have a special place in my memory but that's where it stays. I bought the latest expansion and barely put anytime in. I'm not even max level. I don't have the time committed to it any longer though GW2 gets addictive I at least know I don't need to grind unless it's something I want to do.. Like legendaries
Never played it before, but it's been on my list of must plays for years, but since it doesn't have official controller support I've put it off. Found a Steam config that's highly rated though so I think I'll move it up the list and start getting into it after finishing the games I'm currently playing.
It's the only MMO I've played that doesn't routinely irritate me.
It’s a game that really respects your time.
This
It always was. 🫶
Oooh, I should redownload and get back into it again
You definitely should!
I am redownloading it! After having to reset a password. Again. Man I suck at remembering these things.
Me too; that's why I use a password manager: I can be super lazy.
If you don't have some form of MFA setup, add that, too.
You have thousand of fun things to do and you are not forced to do them at all to enjoy it.
Such a cool MMO
💯
I tried to get into it but I'm a Vanilla and TBC WoW simp and I couldn't adjust to the fact that GW2 is different than WoW.
It's a great game but it just didn't work for me.

Every time there's an expansion in WoW, everything you did prior to it, is mostly obsolete...

I’ve seen plenty of people play GW2 on their Steamdecks, so it should be possible.
