Guild Wars 2

Did they change Rangers pets from the last BWE3?

I played a Ranger for a couple of hours last night and my pet never died once where as when I tried it before I seemed to have to rez it constantly. Though I did have a bear pet last night, and i think a cat before .

The bears are a heck of a lot more tanky then other pets. However they did change the pet bar, they also made it so pets automatically begin to rez once they are dead, so even if your pet did die it may have came back to life without you noticing!

Just tried this and it tells me I can't use that promotional code!?!?

*edit* to be fair though it is on the Sainsburys website for pre-order at £29.99!

Hmm weird, i tried it and it worked. I didn't actually purchase a copy though, as i got one with the last code.

I don't know why they have started a new deal then, this is what i got in my email other than the code.

That could be it. In some fights I noticed the bear seemed to have no health and just be standing about but never noticed it die.

This is much better than rezzing it every 2 mins and made the Ranger fun to play.
 
Yeah Ranger felt much better last night. I noticed my pet dying less as well.

25th can't get here fast enough.
 
As a ranger I noticed that closing the pet ability bar thing then opening it automatically rezzed your pet back to full health and placed it next to you. Whether this is an intentional feature or a bug I'm not sure but it was very handy in WvW because you could get your pet back to your location with full health in a second or two..
 
couldnt wait any longer so pre ordered it for £29.99.

haven't played it at all so hope its good and i dont get burned like i did with the old republic (what i actually bought a whole gaming pc system for!!)

any builds that seem to be quite fun to play emerged yet? the engineer looked cool probably a boring class though!hahaha

is there a ocuk guild being made or? sorry if i have missed it there are quite a few pages on this thread!
 
speak to wab about a sort of ocuk guild

did anyone else find 'supersampling' to be the ultimate framerate eater. It only uses about 600mb of the vram but wow does supersampling knock the fps down below 60. When do you think they'll add MSAA or tessellation or DX11?

http://mmo-guild.co.uk/news.php The Immortals are pretty much an OcUK guild, they have been around for a very long while and have lots of members from OcUK. I was going to set up an OcUK guild like I did for RIFT and SWTOR however I realised that The Immortals are a very successful guild(something which you don't often get with the OcUK guilds) and have lots of OcUK'ers.

The Immortals(the ones I linked and am a member of) are Wab's guild so you'll have to ask him about that. Guild Wars 2 is fairly different to the "triple A" MMO's that have been released recently so it shouldn't matter too much that you are new to MMO's aslong as you work hard, learn quickly and are friendly.

Yeah supersamping kicked my FPS in the willy. Nice IQ increase but I think atm the FPS I get with it isn't worth the hit, will have to upgrade my graphics card at some point in the next few months :(

There was a dev post about DX11 being something that will be looked at post launch -- MSAA / AF I'm surprised isn't already there, even a less aggressive FXAA setting, I guess drivers will do but would be nice to see them in-game come release.

I spent BWE3 trying several of the classes getting them to around lvl15... honestly it just made it harder to pick between them, every class is a lot of fun to play so you can't go wrong really. I'm leaning towards Thief myself, has crazy high mobility and damage -- but also really enjoyed the Mesmer, especially in WvW you're pretty much invulnerable with the amount gtfo's that class has.

So true! A good Mesmer could possibly reduce someone to tears. I had a few probs yesterday vs a few, they're so slippery and always seem to get out of the final blow. :D

Ive still not got the hang of moving out of the way of danger as melee.

I briefly tried a human theif last night and thought I try to avoid dying on the start part where you fight the huge elemental rock thing. I tried to look for some sign of when to jump back out of the way but didnt see anything and ended up on my backside again ... doh

the starting fights are designed to make you die so you can see the down state, and get used to ressing people etc.

I've made tons of low level chars to check out different looks and classes and have probably made it through those fights like once or twice without dying
 
I've gone from a Asura Mesmer in BWE3 to now thinking of Charr engineer.

Think my Mesmer choice was based too much on the fact I want a greatsword and how many get out of jail free cards they have in pvp. But pvp is usually my least favourite thing in an mmo so maybe I shouldnt choose because of that.

They are fun, but I'm now thinking engineer. The class really, really intrigues me. Reckon they would be pretty awesome for WvW which I'm REALLY looking forward to playing more. Either that or necro....

Tho I can be a bit competitive at times, we a casual guild, we were all once new to mmo's, so we do not differentiate between vets and new players, they both just as welcome.
=================================================================

Right a question for you HOM point wh..... must it all be on one character, as I got the first few titles on my warrior, but I have being doing EON on my monk, will they count?

I have gotten 3 the tapestries of the 5 required all on my Monk, except for the ones you get for completing the first part, I got the Eternal hero of Cantha & Tyria on my warrior.

So can I use the pets and place them on the monument with my companions (with my Monk) and will the monks stuff and the warriors combine for HOM points?

I'm pretty sure they do, so maybe a waste of a question but I typed it so ... :p
