Guild Wars 2

The new traits/skills are not in this round of BETA unfortunately. We do, however, get a full set of mistforged weapons, which is pretty sweet.

Any tweaks to existing traits or skills?

Not a one, I’m afraid.

I doubt the weapon skins stay unlocked

Yeah, It seems we’re just testing the event and thats pretty much it.. I got a portal, but I may not even bother hopping in when I get home.

the new zone and events will be nice, but I’d rather save that surprise for actual release.

Radiant Retaliation still broken in beta too.

The “beta” today is more of a stress test. They’re only checking out their new event mechanics. Anything else is basically the same as it is on live.

They really should just make that trait a base line effect for anyone who has +condition damage = to or more then half their attack power.

Then they could create something useful.

I must have not read that because i created a guardian in beta to at least try the new traits (not dragonhunter) and none of them were there so ended up playing revenant the whole time.

BETA felt like stepping over revenant corpses all the time…
no one had a clue how to play them, most tough events were lost because of it.

Not sure what instance you were on but i played revenant and i only died once right at the beginning because i failed to read what the skills do (i was too excited) and basically spammed buttons….

Respawned, spent a couple minutes reading the skills and never died again while doing the story demo mode twice (once with hammer and once with axe/mace) plus other events.

The amount of healing revenant had (when traited for it) was incredible. Never felt at risk of dying.
