Right don’t normally post on these forums, or what not but figured since there’s a thread up and someone suggested trying to tell the Arena Net team my thoughts, here we go.
Glider
- Glider is lovely, I tend to think of my time from Aion although I can’t tell if I’m going down too quickly or not. Also feels a bit odd having not starting off with these, perhaps a possible tutorial mission after the first mission entering the zone?
- Would be very handy to see the glider bar recharge after landing. Let me know how much is in it for my next jump, I plan to do consecutive jumps and such in the future, can’t recall if the flight length gets extended, possible thing to add as a mastery perk possibly.
- I doubt this will happen due to certain jumping puzzles but if you can somehow allow gliding into places outside of the thorns expansion I can think of a million places I would love to leap off from to get into that.
- Was a little confused by the mastery points at first, didn’t realize that my experience goes to the tyria one and the ones in the top section at the same time. Very nice that it goes to multiple sources, however when I got my first mastery point after learning how to glide I was confused about where to spend them until it clicked when I examined the masteries a bit more and noticed the different numbers on some of them. Which is fine no problems there just mentioning my experience.
- Speed buffs do not effect glider, intentional/unintentional?
- Actually forgot to check if there was more than the one glider skin available but this got me wondering if those wing skins that have been knocking about could be available for such.
Revenant
- Leaped into the deep end with it, hadn’t looked up details on the class before hand so wasn’t sure of every mechanic but I figured it out in the first half hour.
- Was initially confused about how to change legendary stances to something other than Shiro and the Dwarf. I thought for some reason it was tied to my weapons but when I saw it didn’t change (Was in combat most of the time when I was looking at it) I noticed the little switch arrow then it became obvious from there.
- The very very first thing I did when I got my revenant was open all the little boxes in my inventory… I know that’s probably a beta only thing so people can custamise but I ended up spending a chunk of time emptying my inventory afterwards due to accidentally overloading my inventory then trying to continue the story with little room since I wanted to experiment with the different stats, opted to empty my inventory aside from the boxes I had left over though.
- Mainly played on the Shiro and the Ventari stance but it ws enjoyable, flowed but I found myself mainly using the weopan skills and one or two of the legendary skills most of the time, however still and enjoyable class.
Area
- I realize its only a small chunk of the area but I’m really hoping to spread my wings so to speak soon and get to leap off high peaks and glide around. (I blame this on my compulsive need to glide around from Aion and other games)
- Think I died mainly from falling but I imagine that’l be solved when I unlock the ability to use those air currents on the glider.
- Pathing was tricky at times in the hylek village, found myself getting turned around when I tried to rush to an event to help.
Looking forward to more! Hope this helps. No bugs so far, thought the modrem wolves teleporting around was a bug at first, probably the way they don’t move during it possibly.
I suppose if they are working on it it’ll show up sooner or later, have to give them credit in the little time they have they do give as much as they can. Think they would do it quicker if this gained a lot of popularity though? Then again. Guild Halls has been a big request hasn’t it?
I’m aware of a chat app for Guild wars 1. Downloaded it recently. Would be handy if any of my friends where there. But I thought, perhaps something similer would be faaaaantastic for gw2, especially since the game is ‘all’ about the comunity you interact with. That way even if you are not playing the game you are keeping in contact with
-Various guilds especially the ones who organise their own events or are the ‘casual’ guild you speak to primarily.
-People on the friends list that you would sometimes log into the game just to find out if they are online or not
-Group chat in the party incase you need to talk to a group.
I think we are possibly heading in that direction. You can bring your contacts up in the main menu. It wouldn’t be a streach to at least be able to talk to that list. MIght need some alterations ‘but’ I think it could be possible. It definatly increases chances of people being in touch with GW2 even if they are not able to participate directly. Its a thought. I mean I’m aware of a thing called overwolf which allows you to chat to other types of Instant messaging like skype and so on while in the game. Perharps relating to that till something offical is made? Its a thought.
