Finally we have a game that shakes off the traditions of World of Warcraft, and moves online fantasy role play forward. The story is great too, and really motivates you to keep playing. It makes great innovations in the genre, which make it really accessible and fun to play. The graphics and sound are fantastic throughout, although you'll need a powerful PC to get the most out of them. Early on you'll see how much more social Guild Wars 2 is, and how much more of the game you spend playing with other players. No planning is needed - you can simply join in a battle or event as you see it. Missions in Guild Wars 2 make sense for the overall story, so you won't have to go and hunt 100 boars in the search for experience points.Īnother innovation is how you can play together. It takes time and skill to grow your character, and a great part of this is how Guild Wars 2 has removed the repetitive 'grind' missions that litter so many similar games. It's not as easy to climb the XP ladder as players are used to in World of Warcraft or The Old Republic. The GemFX installer will then extract the required files to the GW2 bin folder. If you use the 64 Bit GW2 client, then select the bin64 folder as I have below. Guild Wars 2 stands out as being a challenging MMORPG. Run the executable and when prompted, direct the install path to your Guild Wars 2 installation’s bin folder (C:\ProgramFiles (x86)\Guild Wars 2\bin).
