Guild Wars 2

1) events which pop up are good exp; just do them

2) go to another race’s starting zone; you can get good exp there even if you’re past the level range

don’t know about them being legacy…. they show you what the other person is saying so seem to handle what you’re asking for.

as for voice comms they could build them into the game where you’d chat and those close enough would hear with the distance drop-off as you said. that would be a neat feature, you’d just walk up to someone and be able to hear them. but I think it would go largely unused because most would be in Ventrilo or Teamspeak with their guild and would prefer that to an in-game system.

They have chat bubbles which show up in the main view — sort of takes care of the “people around you” part of your post. But the chat windows should be more configurable, i.e. be able to pull out a channel and put it elsewhere on your screen.

Its funny how nothing changes from MMO to MMO in terms of forum posts. The same camps of people push the same positions and you see basically the same posts. Not that there’s no validity to it, its just a never ending back and forth which repeats itself identically in each new MMO

You can press space first then w (press and hold space then, while still holding space, press or tap w) and you’ll move forward a bit while in the air. This is good for short distances where you don’t want to overshoot. You can also press and hold w first and then press space to get more of a running jump for longer distances. Being able to use both helps a lot. Its not just pressing space and w together, you have to think about the order from what I’ve seen.
