Guild Wars 2 worth it ?

Diablo 3 isn't a MMO, if I'm right. Try something like Rift if you want big playerbase, or if you have money to pay for monthly subscription, try Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. I've heard that Guild Wars 2 is dying.

I have played all AAA MMORPGs since 1998, but not one as long as GW2(I mean pure ingametime) more then 6500hours^^
But the Game doesnt die (trollsh*t) only no really new content since the release, still a really high playerbase. I dont think many MMORGs have now that huge playerbase. I can tell you (for a new player) it will take at least 1000 or 2000 hours until it gets boring for you. For me it took 4000+ ^^ . btw boring is the wrong word better to say "overplayed" try it GW2 is cheap atm and no fees what you have to lose?
And Diablo3 -.- play diablo2 still better than blizzards newest reboot

If you have a good internet connection you should stick to Path of Exile, way better than Diablo 3 imho, plus is F2P.
I haven't enjoyed GW2, probably because I was expecting something like the first installment, which isn't at all, but if you are looking for a proper MMO, you can give it a go.

d3 is much better investment than gw2 imo, played both on trial, didnt like either but if I had to choose I would say diablo, or you could try path of exile, its free and better. Dont listen to fanboys, gw2 is not worth the money, its as generic of an mmo as it gets, you get very similiar experince or better in most f2p ones. I would suggest trying Rift or Archeage first since they are free, or play GW2 trial before buying. Also it goes on 50% sale constantly so wait for that if you decide to get it.

TES:O

Personally, I'd go for GW2. It's up to you whether you want to wait for a free trial weekend or not - but this would be a great time to pick it up. Halloween's one of their best festivals.

I only have 1 lvl 80 character with 4(?) others only being lvl 20+ (thanks to birthday scrolls) One hand I'de say pick it up cheap yet on the other I'de say go with GW1. GW2 has been out what 3-4yrs now? and STILL no expansion(s) I don't count The Living Story.

after 3000 hours of play and rising , I can say that I recommend it 100%. d3 is shit

Yes and no at the same time. If is cheap, go for it.

First ask yourself some questions:

1.Do you have any friends that play GW2? If yes then give it a go since game is quite good with friends(surprise!).

2.Do you want to earn everything by playing or you can afford buying gems? Even though games offer you to change gold for gems the exchange rate is quite high and earning gold will consume a lot of time. Even though game got quite a lot of good skins that arent from gemstore you may prefer the one in gemstore if you feel lazy.

3.Are you looking for endgame? If yes... avoid! GW2 offers little to none endgame . World Bosses are mosh pits, WvW in biggest part is a mosh pit. Dungeons get repetetive and most players are using exploits or are looking only for DPS gear to rush through the dungeon. Guilds are good only for Guild Missions and WvW from time to time. If you dont care about endgame go ahead.

Now that this is out of the way can talk about other stuff in GW2(personal point of view). Story in game is bad and after they updated their game quite a bit they changed when you start the story.. used to be from Lvl 1 but now is from Lvl 10 so at start you will just explore and kill stuff and hope not to be killed. The world is pretty and you can explore quite a lot of it and most of players like it(including me).

On the other hand to expect to be rewarded. Drops are complete RNG.So if you want gold you have to sit on your ass and grind grind grind unless you get really lucky with the drops.

No...

Do you have some friend playing gw2 and someone to play with? If yes go for it.
You can always find a nice guild if you don't have anyone playing gw2.
Do you want different experience from other mmorpgs?

If so the answer is Yes.

And don't buy gw1 that game is pretty much dead.

Don't.
If you want to be an addict, then by all means go ahead.
Now, i don't play MMORPGS, i have actually never played an MMORPG before.
..but i have seen things. I have and i do know people who are addicted for the worse in their lives (mostly WoW, but it's the same!!).

Don't. Please Don't.

I have both, it's not worth it

I'll address some GW2 points brought up by others.

GW2 offers virtually no endgame, and that's actually a good thing. Why should you suddenly get to do fun stuff at level 80 but suffer from 1-79? I love the idea of no endgame. Doing the coolest stuff shouldn't be restricted to max level.

The cash shop is limited to convenience and cosmetics. You can buy weapon & armour skins, gathering tools that never break, extra bag slots, etc. I've made a few small purchases - 3 character slots, unlimited gathering tools, an extra bank slot, a couple of skins - and haven't regretted any of it, nor have I felt like I was at a disadvantage compared to players who spend a lot of money on the game. My only gripe is that the gold to gems (gems are the premium currency) conversion rate is awful & continuing to get worse, and will continue to get worse because ANet doesn't seem to have any interest in regulating it.

There is no expansion, but there is regular new content and recurring content. The new content is generally delivered in the form of Living World updates, which brings new quests, stories, loot, the occasional dungeon, new gameplay ideas, etc. The only thing they haven't added that an expansion typically would is a level cap increase (which ANet doesn't want anyway) and new classes/races. I don't care if they add expansions or not however. They can add all that same stuff without an expansion, but if they do put out regular expansions like they did with GW1 then I'm happy to buy them. Recurring content generally takes the form of holiday stuff, but as someone mentioned above there's the Super Adventure Box (kinda turns GW2 into a 3D Mario/Zelda game) too. They do change up & add new stuff to the recurring content as well.

Since I don't work for ANet I can't say that the player population isn't dwindling, but I don't think it is. What I can say is that ANet is doing more and more to bring players together. It's always been a game that encourages you to cooperate by letting you share mob kills, loot, gathering nodes, etc whether you're in a party or not, but now the game tries to put people in the same region into the same copy of the map. So for example if there aren't many people in your particular region there will only be one instance of the map & everyone will be on it so you won't be alone. That way you have people to tackle big events, chat with, etc. The way the game handles different servers is also very friendly to cross server play, to the point where it almost doesn't matter which server you're on. You can always join people on other servers, so if you find a great guild or friends on another server you can still join them for everything except the World vs World content.

did you like Guild Wars 1? yes? so don't buy GW2...otherwise buy it

I've read a few posts and have to agree with the major point of no end game. I haven't played since fotm was released so I dont know about anything that was released after that. Fotm was enjoyable only because I had a good group grinding out to be one of the highest levels in game, but still that was extremely repetitive. Before fotm there was really nothing to do aside from achievements and getting a legendary weapon. I got 2 legendary weapons and nearly all achievements (I was working on WvWvW if I remember correctly).

While there is no end game content, the game did last me quite a bit and was enjoyable. I do wish there was GvG (at the time there wasn't, and still dont know if there is or not).

It was a good game at launch. It's a rotting carcass today, filled with shit NCSoft pulled to generate revenue instead of a sustainable game world.

MMOs get boring fast...its all grinding.

Have been playing it on and off since launch and GW2 is still fun and interesting. They are coming up with new living world stories, which sometimes include a new playable areas, every 2 weeks over the course of a couple of months the year. So there is new content constantly being added. Also they keep updating mechanics and features or even adding completely new game play stuff in as well. Point is its no where near dead.

I'd say try to get a free trail ether through one of the free weekends or I think some shops offer free trail versions and see what you think yourself.

I tried GW2 for a week or so on a friend's account, with the full intent of buying it. Then, ArcheAge came out. I tried out AA, and never looked back. GW2 was fun, but something about ArcheAge entrances me. I can honestly say it was the best MMO experience I've had since my middle school Runescape days. (Yes, was. I got a job a month ago and stopped playing video games for the most part.)

There are many opinions being thrown around, but not much to go on if you want to know whether you will enjoy these games. That is the real question, here. You want a good idea whether or not it's a good idea to sink money into these games. Well, I will try to help you figure that out for yourself (since no one else can). As a person who has spent many hours playing both (and still enjoys them), I have what I hope will be useful information. Keep in mind that both games are continuing to change and adjust as they age.

This video will give you a good idea whether or not GW2 is the kind of game you will enjoy.

This one, here, will give you a feel for what Diablo 3 is currently like.

Have you tried D3? If you'd like to, I have a spare guest pass lying around. Let me know.

It all comes down to Opinion...
Are you looking for a game like most MMOs where you go on quests and such OR would you rather have a top-down-ish Dungeon Crawler? Ya'know... like Diablo? (The Torchlight games are pretty great Dungeon Crawlers in my opinion, not sure if they're better than D3 or not though.)

Storywise was BORING for me , the game mechanics are really good and indepth...
