Guild Wars 2

11 Days and counting!! That being said, would love to make plans for the actual launch. Do we get to start at midnight, or we waiting till say 2 in the afternoon like we have with betas? Need info!

Any chance one of the Devs could answer this for us? Trying to get some guild stuff planned for it, but very hard to do when we arent sure when we all need to be there. Thank you in advance for any info. As stated above, im anxiously awaiting the release.

So I am anxiously awaiting the release of HoT. I have been updating on the countdown on a regular basis, and have realized that we dont know “when” we can start playing. Since we preordered, we wont be going to store to buy it, just download it. So my question is, what time of day will we be able to start playing?

It worked. I closed the game entirely, and waited 10 mins, came back in the game and wasnt stuck in a raid again

im stuck in a group and cant get out, i quit the game, gonna wait 10 mins and see if I leave the group that way.

Such a tease!! Not able to make my Revnant yet.

More then once I was stunned our of unrelenting assault, and more then once I missed every hit with it when I was blinded. There are ways to counter this.

Sword 3 skill. Very cool animation, extremely fun skill to use. Huge down side is more then once, I started combat with it, and before it was done moving around, I was dead. I was hitting gates in WvW with it, and would end up on the sides of towers hitting a wall at the end of the animation as well. No where close to where I started.

Changes I think would be good for it, have the animation end where you start it. Give them some sort of evade or even reduced damage. There are alot of AOE damage, and when you have no control where it goes, you end up hitting quite alot of it. I also think the damage was a bit sub par. Not alot, but enough I noticed a difference in how quick I was killing stuff vs other ones I tried. I was using full soldiers gear.

The Shiro utility skills….. I found them kind of lacking. The only one that I found good was the 9 skill. The boost to speed and stuff. The heal is very awful and cant not be relied on to get you even to half health. The seven and eight were extremely situational, and rarely got used. I am used to using the utilities alot more on my other toons.

Energy might need a bit of tweaking as well, I was almost always out.

Sword number one skill, i loved. Did very well.

Sword off hand skills, I was not a fan of. I tried using the number 5 skill both in pve and WvW, but I found that each and every time I tried it, the mob/opponent i was using it against, had moved away and I flew backwards alone. The block skill rarely worked, once again, lot of aoe attacks going on, and if you arent being hit by the target, that skill is completely useless.

The hammer skills were alot better this time. I still think that Hammer 1 needs to be a bit faster, the animation is soooooo slow with it. Number 5 skill takes forever as well to finish. I understand its a oe stun , and is very powerful. maybe take a second off the animation and it will be good.

Overall I had a blast playing the Rev, I found myself coming back to that class over and over, was alot of fun to play. Few tweaks here and there and the class could be up there with the rest of them.

I did enjoy the group events quite a bit. They were fun, and flowed pretty nicely.

That aside, I do hope that the maps are not like Silverwaste, and everything is group orientated/needed. I am hoping for some solo content as well.
