I have heard that exact thing from many of the people I would play XIV with. Though there was never a consensus on exactly which games -were- good minus VII and I think X? Or one of the spinoffs of X?
Oh wow, Guild Wars... One of the only MMOs that ever really got combat somewhat right. Loved my Thief when I played, did double dagger/double pistol. Still waiting for the one to do it exactly right but that might be a pipe dream at this point. Seems for whatever reason that MMOs just cannot have that Witcher/Souls/For Honor style of really tight, responsive and weighty combat... **** shame, truly.
Anyways, should you ever need any help when it comes to PCs, there are a few people on here that have built some pretty impressive rigs
@5ringshowboutu is one that comes to mind and I can also be of service there. I just love sitting down and advising or helping others in regards to PC gaming setups so feel free to hit me up and we will talk in depth about the state of things and what I would, personally, recommend!
