Guild Wars 2

For everyone who’s complaining that cross-region play was possible in GW1 and is not possible with Guesting in GW2, please consider that GW1 was fully-instanced (it was not an MMORPG in the real sense of the term and even ArenaNet called it a CORPG – Cooperative Online RPG), while GW2 comes with a fully persistent world.

Simply taken from a network architecture perspective, cross-region play on a persistent game world compared to an instanced one is not the same thing. But then again, everyone here seems to be a game network programming guru.

Same issue here. I’ve been on the same server (Seafarer’s Rest) since day 1 of the headstart, never switched servers. I’m not seeing the bonuses on the hover icon and don’t remember ever seeing them.

Steal is a no-damage skill. You can only do damage with it using a trait – so it still seems kind of overpowered.

Also, since we have Thief experts here – is it possible to take 10k+ damage on a 3800 armor set from Backstab?

Same here, got 4.471 damage “by Unknown” using Steal (!!!), and 7k+ damage using Backstab in WvW. Funny how all the other players are reported fine, but this one thief is “unknown”.

He was bugged on Seafarer’s Rest today as well. The NPC wasn’t even there, some people waited for hours and nothing happened.
