Guild Wars 2

Man, after watching some of those videos, I’m wondering what I’m doing wrong. My elementalist was nowhere near as awesome as the ones in the video. She never 1 shot anything, let alone 1 shot three creatures in a row with 1 cast.

I don’t know whether to be sad or go make a new elementalist!

@rfdarko I agree that many female outfits would need a near total revamp due to the sexy elements where Asura have no sexy bits. I highly covet those wings though!

Thank you for the additional welcomes, peeps. I have found the community to be pretty helpful and even patient (whoa) thus far.

A very kind duo of Asuran engineers showed me the ropes in WvW and the Queensdale champ train on my server even waits a minute or two to kill the spider while everyone rushes over. Small things do it for me.

Thank you for the welcome. I hope the awesome times return for you soon, Teege.

That is definitely a cute option! I especially like the unique looking headpiece. I have been using the following website to find potential armor matches, I hope it’s still current. http://argos-soft.net/GW2ArmorGallery/index.php?sex=1&race=0&color=10&weight=1

Thank you for sharing your adorable elementalist. It did give me hope that maybe I could make something work. The color scheme is lovely.

Excellent, thank you for the information.

Hello Everyone,

I joined the Guild Wars community during the recent free trial and was quickly hooked. A couple friends of mine play (or did play) and have been suggesting I try for months, the free trial is what pushed me to make the leap. So thank you very much for bringing forth the option!

Definite perks (according to me):

-No subscription
I come from a very large MMO (it seems taboo to name in these forums?) with a subscription attached to it. I had a couple of such subscriptions and never really thought twice about it. It’s quite cool being able to pay for the things I want (yay endless mining pick) or just skip extras and still have a fantastic game I only paid forty five dollars for.

-Regular patches, additions, events
In my two weeks of playtime I’ve already seen many dev posts, two events and two what appeared to be general game updates complete with class changes. This is a lot for no subscription!

-Transmutation and general “play dress up”
Very much enjoying the variety and styles of clothing available. Having the option to keep my superior stats and still have lovely, eye pleasing apparel is highly satisfying. On this note, I would really love to see some female Asura clothing models. It was so disappointing to realize my amazingly cute Asura shared clothes with male Asura, and honestly they looked fairly drab and boring in comparison to the other female options (Norn, Sylvari, Human). I switched over to a race with nicer clothes for now, but the Asura were my first love.

-Huge variety in ways to gain experience
This is probably tied with playing dress up as my favorite aspects of Guild Wars 2. I level without even meaning to! Experience can be gained in almost every conceivable manner. I gain experience while doing dynamic events, helping NPC’s, exploring, crafting, gathering, doing WvW. It’s possible my Norn ranger gains experience just passively existing, but I’m not positive on that yet. :P (Yep, I play a ranger with a longbow and bear companion! It’s been brilliant for mostly solo play so far.)

Those are my highlights. I could go on about the beautiful game atmosphere, the fact that crafting my own gear is actually valid, the frustrating yet fun jumping puzzles and much more that I enjoy. This is good for now.

Thank you for the excellent game, keep up the great work!

PS. I wouldn’t mind having a go at the endless wood chopping axe. It was gone by the time I arrived. Maybe these will return someday?

PPS. Why did my dollar sign get changed to the word kitten in my preview?? I had to type out the amount, haha.
