Guild Wars 2

The download link on the website has always been greyed-out. There's a separate download link around here somewhere - look back a few pages.

Bhavv, how is the Ghost? I'm thinking about buying one.

Mine is the M8000x, I bought it because my deathadder LMB stopped working and, I wanted a cheap macro mouse, but never bothered to use the macros until now.

I still need a new keyboard too, my Saitek Cyborg got knackered ages ago, but I have a basic USB one thats doing fine, and the mouse button macros have just made GW2 a lot better.

I took Glyph of elemental storms for my first utility skill, push the scroll wheel left and it casts, and the scroll wheel right will be skill 8. Simple and easy :)

It only has 5 extra buttons for macros, which is all you need for skills 6-0 in GW2. To me its basically a £70+ mouse for £40.

I know it's been asked before and I may be asking a silly question. But can anyone that played swtor asnwer this? Swtor had a lot of positive reviews from beta stages then obviously it went downhil and was pretty bad. Can anyone tell me from the beta sofar what they expect from this game? Very tempted to pre-order it.

Many thanks

im level 7 ele my thoughts:
* early game is too hard, i died 3 times trying to stop bandits at the farm.
* the instances are weird tey just feel like your walking into a dead zone , watch a cut scene fight a dude and then leave - im sure their get better but GW1 was never like this.
* combat feels really clunky after Tera ( i keep on wanting to press C to back escape), skill bar limitations are annoying , even by GW1 standards.
* the quest variety is good, but they dont explain enough early game and it was only by level 6 did i figure out what the general flow was. the quest tracking is awful
* world events are cool
* graphics are 'ok' and nothing more, great vistas but i expected more.

i payed both tera and GW2 beta and i think overall Tera has the edge, the only problem is that Tera is not f2p but I feel if it was it would destroy GW2, but im enjoying it and we shall see what improvements they make before release. This has been massively overhyped.

Oh right - thanks

Really tempted to get GW2 I've waited so long, but If Im honest SWTOR killed it for me with MMOS but hopefully GW2 will be worth another punt at mmos.

Swtor was such a let down for me and I had been excited for years, not really got into one since wow. GW art direction had me worried but I can actually create a rough looking character and not a 14yr old emo so I'm happy so far on that side of things. Design wise I really like it. On my phone so not much detail.

Where am I saying anything is a disaster? I'm just saying they have overlooked some pretty basic things considering all of the high-falutin' hype talk they were giving for this. Breaking out of the MMO mould, yes, certainly... by not giving us normal MMO keybindings? Methinks they're trying to be a little bit too radical...

Wow, they've changed the key bindings. Stop the press and call the lawyers.

Geez.
 
experimenting with crafting and got myself some nice bags and top armour, liking the tailoring system a lot.
NOT liking the new dye system though as you have to wait 24 hours to get your dyes from the manufacturer unless you have plant food (wtf is that) or paid for gems!

im also stuck im level 9 recommended 10 for next instance and iv got bugger all to do on the map :( like i said before the quest system is definitely ****ed, it isnt balanced at all at least for ele's.

are chars rolling over into final build or complete server reset?

Only played 30 minutes, enjoyed it and going to just wait for launch now when it should be more stable/everything complete.


There are no name reservations in betas are there?

Elementalist can always handle stuff 2 levels ahead. If you really want to make that level up hit H head to the Mists and have some fun and get the XP rolling in.

It will be a complete reset - generally has been with the beta so far but they tend to keep you tied into the same server but I would not expect that at release.

I think you're missing the point. It's a very basic thing for - any - MMO to have. Sadly after playing this all day I do think it has suffered from huge PC community overhype... everyone is clearly looking for a new MMO to play and the mania is infectious. However this game is not as good to play as it looked and sounded like from pre-Beta press releases and footage. That's just the whole truth of it, really. Little things like keybindings are completely minor, sure, but it's just one tiny part of a bigger picture that isn't shaping up to be all that pretty.

Fixed that for ya.

Not only that, but things like that can be, and usually will be, changed if there's enough community feedback on the issue. Writing it off on that point is a little ridiculous and makes you come across as someone who simply doesn't like the game and don't want anyone else to like it either.
