so far the 6 new class specialisation we got to test in the beta are awefull.

I actually did like the mesmer and necro specs but the one I was waiting for the most (ele) turned out to be the worst so far. I honestly struggle to think how they consider that mess to be good and for what. It will be good in open world but anything can be good there given how easy it is. Really hope they're gonna be reworking that one big time otherwise it's gonna be DOA.

Yeah, I really think gw2 is only kept relevant by ardent fans with rose tinted glasses.

I played gw2 for a long time and now also play eso, it's in my profile. ESO looks so much better when everything is cranked, and it runs better too. And I constantly see people saying GW2 has better visuals. 😑

Here is a video of ESO's enhanced visuals for new consoles. PC is also capable of these options, and with the multi-threaded renderer added you can enable all this and get way with way more fps than gw2. GW2 now has DX11 and it's too little, too late it doesn't even matter.

Yeah, I'm sorry to anyone who thinks GW2 looks good, but they need to have their eyes checked, GW2 is a real eyesore.

It didn't, I was just offering you a solution to your problem.

Nah, you're just hella mad. Don't like hearing criticism about your favorite game, so you tell people to stop playing when they say negative things about it.

Says the one who told me to stop playing a game just because I said the graphics are ugly. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Personally, I don't mind the art style and the overall design the game has but ♥♥♥♥ those skill effects. I have never seen anything as ugly in all the years I play games as a big group in combat in GW2. If the game's open world was even a tiny bit challenging, nobody would be able to kill anything as you can see nothing the moment a lot of players are around. But ArenaNet took 9 years to realize that DX9 is not good enough, giving an option to hide skill effects... give it 10-15 years more.

The new mesmer spec looks alright, not double pistol but it has projectiles.
Is it enough to return for expansion? If the only thing expansion offers is a new world that is more in line with current expansion than HoT, story and new legendary cosmetics then I don't see much reason to return. Need something else to progress for than cosmetics and achivements, and new pvp content like 10v10 battlegrounds that are hot join. Since expansion probably is close to Lost Ark launch I probably start with Lost Ark and only get GW2 expansion if it is something out of the ordinary.

To be fair, GW2's foundation is cosmetic hunting and achievements. Not to say at all it could improve in areas. Like sPvP is yes very abandoned. WvW is finally getting revamped after alliances were announced 3 years ago (Better late then never but still). I just mean by far, the amount of achievements and cosmetics to hunt for are by FAR the game's biggest strength, *if you are the kind of person to care about either or both*.

I find that more people quit GW2 than new people start playing. I know about 20 people that all got into gw2 since the blizzard situation, and all of them quit already once they got the jist of it and realized progress in gw2 is not for everyone. Or should i say, lack of progress. One could play for 3 months and not really achieve anything significant
