Guild Wars 2

The orphanage quest is pretty easy - you can shoot through the wall and kill them all without doing dmg. Was getting owned before then, hence the lack of clothes :p
 
Levelled up to 8 with my warrior and got to mess around with a rifle. It is a tad easy to level up your rifle skill, but seriously good fun doing it!

Crashed a couple of times, then after a time on an overflow server, it allowed back on the main server, before promptly crashing again.

The only thing this game lacks is SWTOR's story mode, becuase the dialogue sections in this seem a little tedious and I'm fighting the urge to 'skip to the end'.

Yeah, everything is a total cluster*** right now. I still can't actually believe they have been playtesting this game for closed Beta all this time and nobody has said Jesus Christ, sort the FOV and zoom options out. You can't see anything! I'm baffled as to how all these people that were hyping WvWvW to high-heaven can possibly have such rapturous opinions when the in-game view feels severely restricted. Even TotalBiscuit (dare I mention his name) spoke favourably about GW2 and WvW and he is like the PC gaming ubermensch fur FOV. It's very amateur.

Got my reply from CJS keys as well, which is interesting... sounds different from some other people's stock responses:

Dear Sir,

we are very sorry for this issue. We are currently contacting suppliers regarding the issue and will make sure that you receive the correct region key

I'm refusing to play an Elementalist on principle, they feel like they have had about 10 times the effort put in to their design than all the other classes combined.

They just have more skills immediately available to them, and theyre easy to play because frankly sitting back and aoeing things to death is really easy.

I do think anything that isn't ranged is at a pretty significant disadvantage though.
 
DC'ed and now I can't get back in.
Beta has been pretty poorly executed imo. Forums down all the time. No communication from Arenanet. Sure I don't mind having issues but at least talk to your customers.
 
What all this gem talk?
Started a necro last night but seems all my attacks atm are melee :/

Anyone else playin a necro that did in GW1?
Opinions on teh class please

they update their twitter site all the time and answer peoples queries which is really good to see.

overall I think it's been okay apart from early login problems yesterday which any MMo player should be prudent enough to expect.

Epic.
 
How much is the XP Boost through the Commerce Store, by the way? I haven't heard about it. I was under the impression that the only benefits of the micro-transactions would be purely cosmestic. That really sours my impression if you can simply buy an XP boost. May as well go play Tribes, ffs.

Your attacks aren't melee, they just use Melee weapons, the only Necro weapon that uses melee range abilities is the dagger.

Basically the class is very different to GW1, though this is really due to the way the skill bar works, i.e very little choice.
 
So has everyone been DCd and unable to login? It'd be good if they added some sort of notification thing so we could tell the status of the servers and various services involved....

I've been DCed once so far and that was due to lag, havent had any trouble logging in yet either.

Edit: I tell a lie, can't log in atm though I wasn't online before so can't say for being DCed.

Yeah all of my attacks seem to be close range :(
Really used to enjoy the casting aspect of Necro with all the Dots.
If it its a pure close range class then I think Im gonna try a ranger if the skills and stuff dont pickup my interest in the next few levels.

How do you mean how the skill bar works?
 
I had a more positive impression on the game tonight with my thief upto level 8 now going round finishing off the last few heart shaped quests in the first area and picking up a few events going around. I'm now able to survive vast waves of enemies by auto-gunning whilst rolling around and chucking my dagger which ricochets of all the enemies at once causing large scale carnage :) also when I use the stab skill and hit the auto-gunning button it seems to create some sort of super-combo where i fire like 6 quick bullets :) Everyone says thief is not a good class and really easy to die but with these tricks it's amazing.
