Guild Wars 2

Doesn't sound like they're opening up the Asuran or Sylvari starting areas yet, so at least one more beta weekend, then probably an open beta just before release.

My money's on Mid August to early September now.

I don't think we'll be seeing the Asura/Sylvari before release. In fact I don't think we'll see any new content during the beta events.
 
I always said that I would wait until release, I already have my characters set out but I might try out the classes that I wasnt sure about. I want asura Thief so I will stay away from that class. But might try out the Warrior what do people think about that?

Warriors with a great sword is so much fun. Im considering dropping my elementalist main for a warr, and also they just don't die!
 
I wasn't that interested in GW2, but after reading this thread and also an excellent summary of the game's features that I found on another forum, I am now very excited!

Fingers crossed for a July release!

How's everyone finding the beta? I've read some rave reviews - does it feel nearly there?

I haven't been swept up in the hype, it's a decent game with some nice combat and world v world etc but it's got weak spots like every game. I just hope people aren't expecting a WoW killer as frankly that games only going to kill itself, nothing will beat it death.

I'll be playing GW2 for a while I suspect, really enjoyed the beta and it IS a good game :)

Thanks for your realistic appraisal!

I do like the sound of the "pick-up and play" aspects of the game. I find that these days I just don't have time to grind to max level before I can partake in the goods bits (mostly PVP for me).

I'd certainly like to give beta a bash!

I'm curious as to what weak spots you've come across so far?
 
Chaps I see there's a BWE that's slap bang in the middle of some time off. Happy days!

Can you still buy this retail and not from random online sellers or is digital edition the way to go?
 
In the mean time, I am still playing GW1 and I have got back into the saddle (so to speak) :)

Struggling with a mission, if anyone has some tips?

Mission: Ruins of Morah

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Ruins_of_Morah

General Morgahn needs to be in the team and i have NO CLUE what skills make an effective HEro Paragon build, and so he dies quickly and I fail to kill Varesh as a Paragon and finish the mission.

Anyone got some Hero Paragon Builds that work?
Any tips for this mission?
I have ended up running
1 heal and
1 protection monk,
A Fire Ele (& ward against Mele)
two tanks (Dervish is my char) & Mox
Gewn as Interupt Mesmer,
Ranger - choking gas - interupt

oh and poo General Morgahn :(

Its getting annoying now !!

Anyone?

For me it's mostly sound effects, not all of them sound connected to the action that's happening on screen, this is a very personal opinion though and one I've had a problem with in many games. The action will be some sweeping manic move yet the sounds don't quite live up to it or vice versa. It is only a few though!

Mob AI doesn't seem particularly great and I've spotted a few pathing problems where the terrain is busy with trees, bridges of buildings. Again not exactly the only game to have these. Again it's beta so something that might well be getting patched.

The rest really are niggles which I'm sure I'll get use to, the UI feels odd but again that's just because there aren't 4 or 5 rows of icons covering half the screen etc! I do prefer the smaller ui and NOT having those, but it's taking some getting use to! and of course the engine not being fully optimised, but again it's a BETA so to be expected :D

GW2 is still way more polished than any other MMO I've played recently and has more atmosphere than the likes of SW:TOR.
