My feedback for the BWE.
Having played all 3 beta weekends the game has been improved upon with each update.
The addition of the Asura and Sylvari really flesh out the story of the entire game, the Asura an excellent quirky race who resemble the posh geeky kids. There smart and they know it.
The Sylvari are a very spiritual race and while I prefer there story over the Asura one, the Sylvari zone was more appealing to me.
I played both a Thief and Guardian this BWE. The thief I got to level 12 before deciding to change, as much as I enjoyed it and had always intended to play as a thief it just didn't work out.
The guardian I got to level 30, played part way through Ascalon Catacombs (couldnt finish due to connect issues). Really enjoyed the play style of the guardian, the combat and utility offered were excellent. They are also exceptionally strong when played right, I manage to solo a level 31 champion at level 28, it just took me 15 minutes
Didn't do any PVP due to the queue system being a bit of a mess but was so utterly engrossed in the PVE side of the things it didn't matter. I spent a decent amount of time crafting as well. Got weapon smithing to 125 and despite gathering resources being a very time consuming aspect the actual craft system in place is fantastic and coupled with the incredibly good trade system I can see hours and hours being spent on both.
The black lion trade network is by far one of the best implementations of a trade system i've seen in years and puts the likes of swtor, wow and diablo 3 to shame, not only is it easy to use but the versatility it offers is second to none. Not once was I sat there thinking if only it had this, that or the other.
Performance was flawless for me, even streaming 1080p all weekend it was faultless, during massive events with dozens of people it was still silky smooth. There were a few graphical glitches in some areas of the asura and sylvari zones but they are minor and dont detract from an otherwise excellent game.
I see a few people say that there are enough events in the lower area's and to some extent I agree, starting out the level 1-15 zones have maybe 16-20 renown hearts to complete along with maybe a few events, which are fairly simple and don't have much if any impact on the world.
By the time you reach the next zone (sylvari area at least) events start to impact the world around you, most if not all the 15-25 zones will have one or more meta events, these are large multi chain events that change the world around you. My experience of one such event was in the sylvari area, undead are invading a camp side, you had to drive them away, then find the source and eventually defeat the boss, which as per the tutorial quest is a giant screen filling boss that requires you to be on your feet and alert, rewards were a boat load of karma, experience and a chest with multiple blue, green items.
Ascalon Catacombs was fantastic not only was it hard but it was also very rewarding, so to speak. Loot was ok although we only managed to kill the 3rd boss before I had connection issues and couldn't continue. I found as a guardian I needed to swap out a few slot skills to better aid my team. I opted for using skills that remove conditions from my allies and offered minor heals this was sufficient to get us through with minimal casualties. It is not a place you can just jump into and steam roll through, it requires team work and knowledge of your class, which is why I believe level 30 is right on the money for it.
Anyway, excellent game. August 25th can't come soon enough.
). Survivability seemed as good as any other class, if not better - being able to teleport away as a couple of people were mid finishing move is always fun especially when you can stealth after for a few seconds and potentially escape certain death.
