Guild Wars 2

TY for the reply do you have a link to the larger thread?

Will HOT give players more character slots? Their is now 9 classes and we only have 5 slots, this is not enough in my opinion. I know you can buy more slot in the gem store. I don’t like the idea of paying for an expansion just to have to pay more so i can play a new race that i already paid for.

I first want to say that this is going to be mostly a negative review. I have not had hands on experience with the changes. So it may be a lot different from what I can see in the video. I will know more when I get into the beta. I will start out with what I think they did a good job with. If they were trying to change the way the class plays, they did a good job. Giving the bow and adding traps will change game play up some. Now To the negative. I feel like the guardian should be a tank/healer. I was hoping that the specialization would have something to do with that. I feel like they turned the guardian into a bad ranger. If I wanted to play as a ranger I would login and play the one I already have. I really liked playing as a trap ranger, however because the way conditions are they are not good for group play. As I could hit the stack cap of 25 by myself. I cant wait to see what they do to the ranger. I just hope its not a tank/healer melee specialization. The trait line for being an elite did not seam like it really added any power to the class. It added some bleeding and +damage, but all trait lines do something like that. Their was nothing in the trait line that changed a skill in a big way or made it “Elite”. As for the trap skills I don’t think they are worth using. Their is no trait line for traps, like with other classes. I feel like traps will be under powered and useless. The change to virtues are ok. They seam to be better then the old ones. I don’t think I will wast my 3rd trait line just to get them thou. As I said above traps are probably no good and that’s all the specialization really has. The name, I don’t feel like Dragon Hunter is a good name. The name is not really that important. No one cares what the name of the skills are when they are playing the game. As for the feedback. We can assume that they are planing on releasing HOT on its anniversary, open beta in July. With that said we know they will probably not do any major change to this. As it would take to long for them to make any real changes and cost them more money. So feedback at this point is just changing numbers to a good spot. I hope they buff trap damage and reduce their cool downs to bring them in line with a ranger. I cant say I want to buy the expansion because of the changes to the guardian. I hope the new group play focused areas do. But if it has the same feel as Dry Top, forget about it.

In the beta the mini pets looked bigger, did they change the size of them? I think they should make them bigger. That way we could see more of the nice detail that the bigger ones have.
