Beta Weekend 14 – 17 August

Things I enjoyed most:

- Revenant: so much fun to play!!!
- Flying: feels so d*mn good <3
- Itzel: unique design & very cool fight animations
- New mobs: exciting mechanics and animations
- New challinging content: Missions and Mastery System

Things I enjoyed least/Bugs:

- Glider: activates randomly while jumping between plattforms, killing your jumping progress by throwing you over the next plattform or canceling your channelled attack, feels like it takes away control from the player

- Bouncing Mushrooms: all shrooms I found did not bring me to places I could not reach with other means, even the abandoned part of Itzel village with the numerous veteran spiders, so using them felt disappointing as it was more a shortcut than a mean to reach new places

- Revenant: staff ability 2 was never useful to me, feels really awkward to use, it does not deal more damage than attacking with 1 since 2 is slower and it consumes a good portion of your energy, the weakness condition seems negligible, there seems no reason to disrupt your 1 attack chain for 2; maybe it just seems that way in contrast because all other staff abilities are so amazing and very useful (no irony btw, love the staff)

- Revenant: hammer ability 3 causing the pop-up “press space to use glider” to appear when using 3 to attack over a large gap

- Revenant: Ventary legend ability 7 will stay infinitely without consuming energy by having it active while going into downstate and then getting back up; using another ability of the legend aside from 6 will revert the bugged effect

- Shadow Dog mobs: often avoids attacks eventhough they are not in their shadow cloud area anymore, frustrating

- Mordrem Archer guy: one-shots people no matter how tanky they are, arrows cannot be stopped by projectile hindering abilities, and it is not even a veteran, so the damage seems a bit out off place and makes people curse

Looking forward to BWE2 and full release!

Personally I have to say I didn’t spend a lot of time in the beta because I hate the area. I don’t like Silver Waste or Dry Top and this seems to be an expansion of these areas only. The area has several areas that you can’t even run through without getting killed unless there is a large group. I must say I spent about 1 to 1 1/2 hours and really starting to second guess my pre purchase. And no I’m not a new player, been around since GW1 did beta for original GW2 have a total of 20 level 80 Toons and 11 have map completion (first 4 when you had to do WvW). It felt like one big jumping puzzle as well and guess what ANet, not everyone like jumping puzzles.

Again this is very early beta results and only 25% of the map so I hope my initial opinion is not correct, this is just how it felt to me……

Hey, it’s something new, so it is unknown for each individual whether they like it or not. ^^

I tried several classes and had no problems soloing mobs on the beta map, given you know what to expect from them.

Soloing mobs would have been easy had the re-spawn rate not had them re-appearing seconds after I killed them behind me, so as I was moving 1 step forward then taking 3 back lol.

Again this was beta so I’m sure they are making adjustments.
