Looks pretty neat. Kind of irrelevant if it's single-player. But as you said, it's still in early stages of development.
It seems like a complete wasted opportunity to a potentially perfect multiplayer game.
30v30 castle sieges? Horseback combat?
If this game doesn't have multi maybe it will be successful enough to spark other developers' interest in this sort of thing.
PLZ WARHORSE PLS
Yeah we can only hope. Although I don't know why this developer wouldn't implement MP technology to this game. It's like...the perfect game for it.
Maybe they lack the personnel to develop and maintain it? Lack the funding? Don't have the servers to run it on?
I played GW2 for a month. Was boring. They hyped it up as no grind but the game was 100% grind. Story was super uninteresting as well.
There's very little grind if you play dungeons at the appropriate levels (i.e. Ascalonian Catacombs the second you hit 30/35), although admittedly that's hard with elitist speed runners everywhere demanding gear checks. It is indeed very grindy if you do the hearts, but if you explore and just do random events, it's actually pretty decent. Takes 3-4 days of moderate play to max out at level 80. The big issue imo with GW2 is a complete lack of PvE endgame - unless you just want to run Fractals over and over. And the guild support is pretty shocking, still no guild halls, still no way for guild vs guild PvP.

I agree though, the personal story was quite lacklustre.
(I've not played GW2 in months btw, due to the aforementioned lack of endgame)
