Guild Wars 2

I don’t have any questions.

After seeing some of the feedback, I will say that for as long as gaming has been around you would think that we would all understand what “Beta” means and it’s underlying implications. Seems that’s not the case. :>

Overall, it was a great experience and I was happy to do it. I’m a GL and it was nice to be able to share my impressions with the members.

I did have to play windowed because my game broke on the 15th with that update, but I still managed to get a decent impression of what’s coming even with the far slower performance.

So I’ll start with the obvious.

The Revenant is a great new profession. I don’t feel it needed the blindness tie-in to the story, but whatever. It works.

The character functioned flawlessly using all the weapons that were available.
I am partial to axes in fighting games and the one that was provided was the best weapon Ive ever seen in GW2. Loved it.

Skills-wise, its tough for me to comment with any detail after only a few hours on the profession and multi-weapons.
All I can say at this point is that the skills are consistent with other professions that Ive played in GW2 (I have 5×80′s).. meaning that they feel like GW2 skills and that’s a positive. Players will feel at home using them.

The environment was also well conceived. No big departure from the usual GW2 Living world format. I enjoy Living World, so I liked it.

I think that the activities could have been expanded some because I finished everything and had a lot of time remaining… but I just stuck around and fought husks and took screens for the guildies, so it wasn’t fail.

The Pale Reavers (alt-Sylvari?).. really interesting and also well done. Loved the BF guns :>

The one comment I have that could be considered a negative (because it is..).

The whole hang-gliding experience was fail for me.
If IRL hang gliding worked that poorly, absolutely nobody would ever do it. It was so bad that I didn’t even want to do it in-game.

Wings suddenly popping up out of my back? Hmmm. I feel like something more tangible and less mystical and vague would be a much better concept.

You have the glider or you don’t. It works or it doesn’t. Jumping off high places isn’t the time to be guessing.
Even though the falling was kinda fun, I did that more than flying. I would have preferred the flying.

That’s all Ive got. Thanks Anet for giving me the invite! Please, please, please solve that login/windowed issue soon? 9 days…

OK Thanks!

I agree axe is a really really nice weapon and I love it too. It’d be useful in all types of game mode. Nice gap closer + location manipulation + pull, really nice.
