Raids don't have to be instanced, you know.
But heartless......batman can glide farther and faster than spidey can swing ;( Plus he has a ship! Darnit all, batman is ze winner.
On Topic : Dungeons > raids in GW2. OP is stupid. Theres my contribution.
Well, to be fair as I can be, Pelagato probably thought about Traditional Raids, not raid like content.
Traditional raids started with EQ, if I remember correctly. From what I understand, and please correct me if I'm wrong since I was busy playing UO back then, they were open world and required lots of groups to beat. Unless Pelegato's first MMO was WoW, then I can see where he's coming from.
Personally, I like open world raids. It allows for harder content but still makes it accessible for everyone, even those who are not in an uber guild.
Batman has a plane and that batgrappling hook too. With about two of those hooks he could be SpiderBatman.
On topic: GW2 has open world raids.
Play for fun. Play to win. Play for perfection. Play with friends. Play in another world. Why do you play?
Didn't play back then; I was thinking about WoW.
My theme song.
I have my own issues with GW2, and it's fine to have opinions. My only question is how the hell did you not know about everything you just complained about? I followed the game for maybe a few months before the beta, and I expected everything you mentioned. Everything I don't like about it came from actually having to experience it; evidently, you just plugged your ears and closed your eyes until you decided to make an impulse buy. I can't imagine you are happy with any game you buy, seeing as you don't actually follow them at all.
It's cool. WoW is a good game, one that I enjoyed for a few years. Although I stopped raiding after BWL, before the first expansion.
It's just that when people say traditional raids, I automatically think about EQ.
Haha exactly, hes the best!
On Topic: It Does? o.o Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot
not sure if this has been mentioned already but... http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/360342/page/1

For my definition of a raid at least.
Big boss? Check.
Lots of people required? Check.
Phat lootz? Check.
What am I missing? 5 hours of organizing a bunch of idiots who can't learn ONE mechanic over SIX WEEKS. I'm not sad they left that part out.

First open world raid: fire shaman in the charr starting zone. I'm sure that he's been nerfed now but during BWE1, he was unstoppable.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. Nice find.
He was nerfed
That's kind of sad. They need to keep a few encounters like that. When we were finally able to bring him down, it was really rewarding. And this was at level 6!
I"m not...quite..sure...It's that last sentence. In addition to being completely unneccessary it's entirely outlandish and ridiculous. Not to say Planetside 2 couldn't be revolutionary, but eh...who are we kidding? It's SOE. Anything actually interesting in their games gets taken out eventually.
But who knows? Either way that last sentence makes me smell troll. So. Yeah, there's that.
Besides, Planetside 2 is purely PvP, just like the first game. It's not even in the same category as GW2. Also, it won't revolutionize the genre, just like Planetside 1 didn't. It'll be a fun game, I love it but it will not change anything since it's created for a particular niche.
No. I think that telling people that GW2 doesn't have raids is misleading at best. Because it actually does have encounters that require large groups of players.
However, if your only experience with raiding comes from WoW, I can see where you may get confused.
After the OP bashed GW2 and said TSW is better, I decided to watch a video on it. ( Just to see what pops up ).
What came up?
*Intro Scene*
What company helped produce it?
EA
LOL
From Wiki
A raid is a type of mission in a video game in which a very large number of people (larger than the normal team size set by the game) attempt to defeat a boss monster.
Meta-events sound like raids to me.
