Guild Wars 2 dev: Traditional MMO quests “don’t work”

A representative of Guild Wars 2 developer ArenaNet says traditional MMO quests don’t, in fact, work very well in MMOs. He explains what Guild Wars 2 is doing differently...

blah blah blah. it'll be fun but i just cant see people logging on to see what random quest pops up today.

the rift invasions were only cool for a day or 2

lololol its funny because you're serious.

Guild Wars 2 IS action oriented. Even more so than Guild Wars 1 from the looks of it.

oh god no. ff14 is already extremely limited due it being made for the ps3 also.

and I agree with GW dev. the traditional quest system is more like a relic of the past rather than being broken. This is why I can't see star wars doing too well.

It would work very well on the PS3. Controls are not an issue. I think they had a technical issue but that may have been solved because the last thing I heard from them about it (last month) was that they were worried about the social aspect. I think if they release it for $60 with a keyboard attachment, things would be fine (PC version would be $30 by then). NCsoft is the publisher of Guild Wars 2 and they are good friends with Sony.

I think it will come out on PS3 at some point but they aren't focused on that. They are focused on PC so they can release it. But I think this is the perfect MMO for PS3. We could finally have a console MMO that not only doesn't suck but is actually good! I do wonder if they could get it on the Vita though (lower res screen so maybe possible?).

Variety is something finite in MMO's these days. However, you can't really blame the leaders (WoW) for sticking with the already proven formulas (in the end, it is what people end up liking anyways).

I am up for anyone who thinks they can revolutionize quests in MMO's though, going too far might alienate the "grind-flaworing" fan base.

Who else but me posts GW2 updates 😎 One of the few companies I support, for over 20yrs.

I played it a little years ago. It was fun but I had children after I started playing and gave it up so my wife wouldn’t hate me. I got to 50 and then hung it up

Michiel1989193d ago

Arenanet is doing smthn wrong with marketing, I never once seen an ad for a gw2 expansion and always hear it like this once an expac is already released. Not that I would play it cause I'm a gw1 purist haha

@Christopher thanks for the fixes.
