This or GW2
I want to dedicate some time to an MMO. I tried and gave up on NW when the broken mess that it was launched. I played a fair bit of GW2 (level 50) but not any of the expansions, but that was like 5 years ago.

I now have some more spare time and whilst I'm progressing and enjoying Starfield, I would like to have an MMO on the go.

Let's assume I don't know much about the current state of NW or GW2, for those who do, which would you recommend me giving a first shot at?

Thank you.

MMORPGs are on a rough spot, GW2 has one of the most biased fanbases out there. The game is nothing more than a daily quest/event simulator, you have to do dailies for the rest of your life to catch up on currency. Structured PVP is completely dead, 6-7 minute queues on average. They sell a lot of game features on the cash shop like gathering tools, bag slots, bank slots, character slots. You can directly buy the most valuable in-game currency (gold) from their shop which is a 100% pay to win status.

New World on the other hand, is a very repetitive almost no content MMORPG that looks beautiful and respects your wallet, nothing to be considered pay to win in this game however the game gets quite boring.

Whenever I decide to play MMORPGs, I find myself in a spot where I simply cannot be immersed in games due to stupid issues like BLATANT cash grabs, no content, constant repetition of dailies, weeklies, chores that add up to your real life chores, a game where you are supposed to play, relax and enjoy becomes just another chore in your life.

I would say both games are below average. I advise you to watch out for GW2 nutriders though, GW2 has a very dangerous playerbase that really tries to sell the game., they defend GW2 like they defend their honor for NO reason or maybe they are just Anet employees, who knows.

See just wanted to comment on GW2 being p2w.....it is not....at all.

You can literally exchange gold for gems (and vice versa) and can buy literally anything off the shop.

I honestly didn't even read the rest of your post because of the false info you gave right off the bat.
GW2 is much better than NW in every way dont waste your money on NW
I've played thousands of hours of both. They're just not really comparable, but guild wars 2's base game is free so you can play a ton of content without paying anything. If you do love it, get path of fire and work on your mounts and it'll feel like a whole new experience.

new world is great to hop on and play a lot then return later. It's one of my few mmos that I cycle in. new world will keep you entertained for awhile. play guild wars 2 for years and you'll still have much to do

I tried GW2 and I didn't liked the graphics and combat system.

In my opinion a good game but something old. I prefer NW even if I'm not the happy person in the world.
I'm about to drop some unpopular opinion as a GW2 fan. Reject the MMO genre and have more fun on singleplayer or coop action RPG games, that has moddable AI support. Trust me, you will rarely miss the human trash that try to break games so they can get an slimy empirical win.

As AI programs advances, the MMO genre will become more and more of a dinosaur. But until AI in gaming becomes mainstream. I'll personally main GW2 as my preferred MMO.
If you want to spend money on New World, then that's your choice.

I have nothing against Amazon. Amazon in my opinion has some of the best music service, best audio book service, and great deals for Prime users. I'd rate Amazon as a whole a 9 out of 10. However, I'll rate their video game department gets a 2 out of 10 from me.
- They don't police their games, so the multiplayer experience is ruined by massive cheating and RMT.
- They force their transgender narrative in a fantasy MMORPG. Till the point more then 90% of the cash shop skins looked too ugly to buy by the average MMORPG fan.
- They are far too slow to release content. Which New World releases in a year as a expansion, other MMORPGs are releasing 4 times or more times a years as free major updates.
- AGS rather convince players who are not willing to spend $15 every month to change to the populated servers, to leave. Because outside of that 1800 - 2200hrs server time slot, there is not enough human players to find PUGs for basic expeditions in New World.
- The game suffers from the "mile wide but an inch deep" saying.

I'm my opinion if you are just looking for a different game world to solo in, then get New World. If you are looking to play a content rich fantasy MMORPG look elsewhere.

The GW2 community don't even gate Raids from the common folk. T1 to T3 Fractals of Mists are a pretty casual experience. 99% of the groups on the Looking for Group tool will not turn away anyone that have the Agony Resists to not get killed by environment damage.

The only Dungeons players will be picky with is Ather Path because it requires a tryhard team to clear it. You can find Pickup groups for most other dungeons around the clock. And most people won't bash you for not being good at the game.

Raids - So there are at least 2 to 4 guilds that run training raids for randoms to learn raids. Then there are the progression groups, and the tryhard speed running groups. As long as you are upfront about your shortcomings in content. Alot of people will work to help you improve to clear the raids.

So, the comment you made was completely in bad faith. Which begs the question, what are you getting out of misleading others to play New World? Are you a RMT vendor, or are you a desperate PvP cheater that needs more fodder?

If you can buy the most valuable currency from game's ingame shop, that game is p2w. Your perspective is deluded, stop making up P2W definitions, if a game sells the most valuable currency for IRL money that game is P2W. End of story. I don't even know why am I replying to a timmy, maybe you learn a thing or two from my post.

This is exactly what's wrong with GW2 community, they will defend that game till the end of days. Never expect a GW2 fanboy to be objective, they will die on that hill. GW2 community he talks about doesn't exist, the game is literally dead and you'll never find a group to do anything except prime time. Structured PVP takes about 8-9 minutes to find a ranked match. Do not be tricked into paying money for a dead game. Always keep an open mind, do not take my word for it, do not trust GW2 fanboys either. Do your research, download the game for free and you'll see that everything they have is gated behind a paywall or an expansion. They even paywalled the most basic things on your account such as character slots, bank slots, inventory slots and such. EVEN if you buy the full game for 100 dollars, you still have to pay for these common amenities. I am not saying New World is the best game out there, surely NW has it's flaws but AT LEAST they respect your wallet.

TC, as stated, already played GW2 to level 50. He was asking about the current state of each game.

"Paywall" is the biggest indicator that someone is unhinged. After all, I'll want a drink later but the Gas Station keeps them behind a Paywall.

LOL Who are you people? That is complete misinformation.

I didn't like they way GW2 handled weapon abilities. Other than that it was meh. The PvP combat was fun but the game was grindy; more so than New World. I also didn't like having to zone in and out of areas. It reminded me of Everquest. if you want to go play GW2, go for it. You may like it.

GW2 is more grindy then New World? LMFAO such misinformation should be criminal. The whole reason why GW2 is one of the last bastions for around the clock active PvP in a MMO package. Is that you grind for less than 30 hours to be PvP competitive. In New World you are not even viable for PvP for hundreds of hours, unless you buy from RMT vendors. Damn this is just sad. Let me guess, you are one of the many RMT vendors or cheat software Devs for New World?

Let me guess you haven't played in a while or you are just being dishonest? They have made PVP gear very easy to obtain. Hell it's harder to find BIS PVE gear than PVP as it now drops from so many different sources. Will you get the very best gear possible as soon as you hit 60? Nope! Even if you use the credit card it will cost you dearly as those prime pieces are inflated to the moon and back for good reason which is rarity. But it's by design since if you get the best gear and become unstoppable from the beginning what is the point of playing? MMO's are about grinding for gear and cosmetics END of Story. And you aren't losing all that much by missing a bonus stat here and there with the stat system revamp.
