Guild Wars 2

Lol at the start of the game, with a new character, can we go back to the days where if you swung the weapon of choice around enough, you learned gradually how to use it, and just keep it so you have to earn abilities in the utility?

The combat right now at lower levels, is so underwhelming, it’s like…how does one even get enthusiastic about all the awesome things going on around them? Just give them SOME feeling as if they are actually fighting, instead of pressing 1 1 1 then 2 every other time.

But that’s only for maybe 30 minutes, then you have most skills unlocked. Did it yesterday on a warrior, really short period. No problem for me.

Honestly, I preferred almost everything about how leveling worked at launch than after that revamp where they added all the per-level rewards and combined skills and traits under HP, for a large variety of reasons.

Chief among them is that I don’t believe that skills and traits should be competing for the same resource and should have separate unlock paths. Per-level rewards are just tedious. And unlocking weapon skills through use is way more fun that auto-unlocking them by level. They should have just slowed the rate down a bit.
