I have nothing against Guild Wars 2 on a whole, but the group content in that game is a disconnected mess. Dungeons, when I stopped playing, were cluster of people running around and soloing while at the same time maintaining an air of “every man for himself” that makes the whole experience something less than pleasant. I’m sure that there must be more going on once you get into the raiding scene, because the alternative is too depressing to contemplate, but I’m certainly not motivated enough to find out.
But that’s just within my experience. I’ve never really grouped in Blade & Soul, so for all I know it could be better or worse. Heck, the original Guild Wars had its own issues with grouping up and doing stuff for everyone who wasn’t a healer. So today, we ask you: What’s the worst MMO for doing things as a group? Is it one of the examples listed above or something else? And what makes the game so bad for group activities?
Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
