Guild Wars 2

While it’s nice to finally have a date on how long Wintersday lasts this whole solution is really disappointing.

How is someone who has a 40h a week job and only play casually supposed to finish this until January 12th? You’d have to rack up around 400 drinks a day from now on to finish this and just extending the whole thing means it’s a pure gold sink instead of an real Achievement.

I think someone forgot some of the real principles: https://t.co/K6nvOi8Ond
and I do hope we can find a better solution than this.

I have just seen this pop up on reddit,
and while I’m incredible saddened about this I know
that the community of this game has pulled of some
amazing support in the past.

So maybe we should make the 24th a day his parents will keep as
a fond memory.

For starters I decided to quit the Revenant beta after about 30 mins. so I can’t say much about the class only what made me quit.

First, I know I’m not one to easily get new stuff and thus the getting thrown into an 80 char fully geared was mostly overwhelming for me.
I’d like to had at least the choice to start normally in the tutorial instance instead of getting thrown into LA. If there was any warning that the character would be fully leveled I probably missed it.

After some thinking this beta is probably something for ppl who want to try everything at once, but not really for ppl who want to take their time figuring things out.

The first things I noticed is that I had 3 boxes for gear and full weaponsets in my inventory, of course that filled up pretty quickly. After checking what kind of weapons I could even use I made the mistake to open the boxes with sigils and runes – inventory full again.

I think one box of armor would have been totally ok for me, but other ppl might want to try more. I’ve got no idea how to solve it, add a beta vendor probably?

Overall the whole checking what I need and what I can’t even use took a lot of time. And then the real stress kinda started. Since all 3 legends were unlocked at once I didn’t really know where to begin looking. For me it was just a case of “too much input”, I tried a bit of this and a bit of that but really couldn’t wrap my head around it all.
For the next time I’d really would appreciate if I just had all the points for the traits but could unlock them when I’m comfortable with the skills I already have.

What was a little off putting as well is the fact that figuring stuff out, I couldn’t even ask my guildies for help or talk to them at all, since there was no guild chat available. I don’t know the reason but I’m not one going to map chat if I can’t figure stuff out, I’d rather ask guildies or friends first, so I felt pretty on my own.

I’d really like to see /g chat enabled for the next beta. I don’t know if I give the revenant another try this weeking, focusing on one thing at a time but I wanted to leave this here as feedback, since that’s what a beta is for after all

I’m pretty aware that’s not how it is for everyone, and wish fun to the rest playing the class atm.

Just to give some additional info on this.
This happened to me as well recently on one of my alts.

I’m playing since beta so I got the Personal Story finished on most of my characters but not all. Also I got all Living Story Chapters unlocked.

I just played the last Chapter of the Zhaitan fight alone, to try it out.
After I finished and got out of the instance where you celebrate Zhaitans defeat
I got redirected straight to the last Arcana Obscura Chapter of the Living Story.

After I received the mail I read it over and noticed something was of, when I opened the Story tap I saw that not the first Chapter was activated but a later one.

I haven’t been in the Norn starter Area for a while so I may be wrong but is that NPC wearing some kind of new armor?

I just think it looks amazing and would love to be able to get this for my Norn, especially since she’s a raven shaman as well.

What do you guys think old or new? And how do you like it?
