Guild Wars 2

First part is a spoiler alert. Read down to second paragraph if you don’t want to see it. Rytlock is back!! I was excited when I saw this. He’s more awesome than before. So far, this is a lot of fun. I really like the Revenant class. There are a few issues. I’ve seen different ones from different people in the main chat. My personal ones are a little different than what I was reading in chat.

First, when creating character, the character is too tall to see. In the first mission, it talks about blood on the walls, but no bodies. I couldn’t see blood on the cave walls. I have ultra settings, but didn’t bother checking other graphic settings. Also, after the first Mordrem boss, there is a body that has a “Search” button. I can read the text, but there’s no actual body there. There was also areas where if you fall, the screen goes dark. On cliffs, the screen comes back. In the Jaka Itzel area, it does not.

I did get kicked, and had to start all over. I’m sure this is just a beta thing, but I left the area, on accident, and got reset to beginning. This happened way too quickly. I wasn’t even able to get turned around and get back. I couldn’t use my Mastery Points. I could see them, and get to them. When I tried to use them, they was all locked. Some people I seen was able to use them, though. I tried everything to upgrade gliding, but got nothing. It says 0% complete. I didn’t have any issues myself, but I did see, in chat, that people didn’t get any cut scenes. I did, however, have issues with the way the cut scene looked when Rytlock was reintroduced. It was blurry, and slow. Batrach Falls could use some graphic upgrades. The waterfall was triangular, and didn’t really look like a waterfall at all. Temple of Ameyalli could use some NPC’s. It was very boring walking through it.

Mushrooms at the Jaka Itzel Way Point is just reading numbers. It says ((3883633)) for the mushroom. ((401353)) for when the “Use” button comes up. Aggro range is way larger in some areas than it is for others. This started when I fought the first Mordrem boss during the event in the Jaka Itzel area. After that, it was just random against the normal enemies. Tendrils especially were a problem.

Damage from Utility Skills, I found to be a bit weak. Not seeing damage, except to one enemy, when using Unyielding Anguish. All others in the damage area, are not taking any damage. Temporal Rift shoots me past the enemies, and doesn’t pull them in when the skill ends. Banish Enchantment didn’t remove boons from the first Mordrem Boss.

Thanks for letting us do this beta test. I will keep an eye out for anything else I might catch. This will be added to my post later.
