I am an “older” player (really older). I do not have the skill or computer and gaming savy of younger players. That said, I enjoyed the HoT stress test a lot. The revenant seems very different from the old professions and I’m anxious to see how character development from level one progresses. The graphics in the map, small as it was, were amazing, and the “new” skills and weapons such as sniper rifle were exciting. Switching utilities rather than weapon sets is an interesting approach. I played only the hammer in the time available. Like others I’d like to see a new race or races but that’s not the subject. The sniper rifle “jammed” once but was quickly fixed by dropping and re-equipping. The wyvern fight flying – mob laying down deadly fire.- was exciting, although it seems that attacking at melee range and surviving was virtually impossible (for me). And when “gliding” or attempting to was difficult achieve distance to land at desired location. Perhaps I just haven’t learned the “trick”. Anyway, stay at it. I think It’ll be a success – although I too am concerned about the new cost factor. Although “free to play” I find I’m spending more on GW2 than I ever did or other games. Good business plan already LOL. More when/if I think of it.
