Open world content poll

[Dreamer]

Open world stuffs was the reason my FC decided to move back to GW2. Everything being instanced is supremely annoying.

I fail to see which open world content GW2 has that this game hasn't, apart from jumping puzzles. Let's see:

Here main story quests <-> GW2 main story quests
Here class quests <-> GW2 nothing
Here side quests <-> GW2 "hearts"
Here FATEs <-> GW2 "dynamic events"
Here levequests <-> GW2 nothing
Here dailies <-> GW2 nothing
Here treasure hunts <-> GW2 nothing

So, I'm sorry, but FF14 ARR wins on BOTH open world and instanced content, PvE-wise. GW2 wins on PvP (not surprising, as it's the main focus of the game), but PvP in GW2 is instanced anyway.

What's paradoxical is that this game has the MOST types of PvE content I have ever seen. The sheer quantity is not so impressive yet, but give it some time, can't compare with games that have already several expansions under their belt!

I like FFXIV more but had to correct some of what you wrote.

Guild Missions, mini-games, mini-dungeons with daily treasure chests, music instruments, costume brawl. Hearts are incredibly varied. I love ARR but yeah -saying that it has more pve content than GW2 really doesn't make sense.
