Guild Wars 2

After playing for a couple of hours last night I thought I'd pop back on for an hour before bed and try changing the way I control my character. I have to admit I used to be a clicker. But after getting used to using both mouse buttons to move and nothing but the number keys to trigger my skills I can't believe I never really tried that technique before in other MMOs. Still need to get used to it but I'm already much smoother in combat and dont miss my heals so much.
 
Didn't get much time on line last night due to the lag 2-4 second delay after pressing a skill and then you'd find yourself dead on the floor when it all caught up.
 
Not sure I want to get this game, ive been ripped off into other mmo's like warhammer and some other boring one that came out about a year ago, also from the screen shots ive seen the graphics look poor and uninteresting.
 
So has the launch been a painless one? I've been very wary of MMOs at launch after playing Vanguard which was horrendous for a good 6-8 months after launch.

I'm sorry, but I really am sick of reading posts like this.

If you don't want the game and aren't interested in it then don't post in the thread...

You haven't played it, therefore nobody is interested in your thoughts.

This isn't your diary.

This. By all means, post and ask questions about what people think makes this game worth getting, but don't post just to say you're not getting it. I can't think of a single reason why anyone would care.
 
I don't understand the bad graphics jibes, there are plenty faults you can pick with this game/launch but certainly not the graphics. They are great! (IMO)
 
@Wab

I have applied to Immortals and awaiting email confirmation, hoping there is space in that castle for one more :)

What's your username m8 and I will get that sorted, you can also just grab anyone of the officers in game and get a invite.

On the invite note, we are taking away the signing up link on our website as we defiinitly need to shut recruitment, can't keep up, we got about 140 in the guild now (tho I'm not sure if it counts the alts or not, just thought of that, think it does not, it's account based and not character based).

We however will still take peeps from here, if you would like to join email me [email protected] or [email protected] with a application, please include the username and email address you would like to use on our site and we manually create a account for you and send on the details.

Anyone that's a decent PvP players and would like to arrange and run sPvP teams are more than welcome, with our growth, I would like to set up to 8 teams, but need people who a) want to be sPvP officers b) have the ability to run a team getting the tactics right. c) have the strength of character to get the team playing their way!

Great idea.

I wouldnt want to be an officer, however I would love to join a PVP team and play with some structure.

In terms of MMOs the launch has been silky smooth. The only problem I've had is one of the skill challenges being bugged, which is now fixed. Haven't experienced any lag myself but I have seen people complaining of it. If anyone really expected a launch to go better than this they are living in a fantasy world.
 
What sort of problems have you encountered? I only ask as I am so tempted to buy this game

Majority of issues are sorted now.

You asked about the launch, and at launch there were a few hiccups with logging on etc.

Now, as i say, most issues are resolved.

BUY IT! :D

Thanks for you're views my hand is twitching ever closer to my wallet
 
Been playing as ele, and got to lv18.Thought i would try something else this morning that i had not played, so i chose asura ranger.

Omg! only got to lv3 as yet, but i adore this class already.

The main two have been:

Login server stability issues, though this hasn't been too bad. It should be more or less resolved now unless they patch something which kicks everyone off the servers.

The overflow server system has been the more serious issue, which effectively means people can't play together at peak times, as they're not on the main server.

Overall though it hasn't been any worse than any other launch, with a game this popular there are bound to be issues, however the overflow system is a concern, but one they should address soon. If you're mostly playing by yourself you shouldn't worry about it for now.
 
Must admit, I found this harder to get into than other MMOs i've played in the past as it doesn't seen to hold your hand as much through the first couple of levels. Once you get to grips with it though, it's no problem.

Played an Elementalist up to level 7, didn't really get on with it. Started a Thief and it's early days but it seems to match my play style a little better (guns, not daggers)
 
Got the game yesterday and just got to lvl 10. I know its early days yet but I'm really impressed so far. I am always sceptical now when buying MMO's after wasting money on the likes of Warmhammer, Age of Conan, SWTOR etc but this game seems legit so far.
