Guild Wars 2

I started to dc today as well. It was all okay for long time but since today I started to dc so much…I had to do one quest dungeon like 4 times….

How are you fighting? Combat in GW2 is about using skills actively, moving, and dodging to avoid damage.

Here’s an example of a sword ranger fighting a boss in melee- pet disabled so I have to handle the aggro myself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbE4-5KBQTs

(disclaimer 1: please do not click your skills, it’s a bad habit.
disclaimer 2: once you’re used to handling aggro on your own, don’t disable your pet- learn to micro it, since it’s a major part of your support/damage/control.)

I never click on skills, are there some people who do that??

Anyway, it is not visually (key-word of my thread) appealing at all. The game itself is really fun, overall visuals are great, but I am just sooo disappointed about the skill graphics. It’s so boring! (Think of Cabal’s skill visuals for an example, or TERA.)

I’m so disappointed. I have tried to find a good MMO for months and I really thought I’ve finally found it, but yea, for me it’s just un-playable.

Maybe I should try something else? As far as I’ve seen, all classes have these Super Mario-like skills (means that they are so dull and boring and repetitive like Mario’s fireballs.. ).

I have tried the short blade thingy and I must say that I die so fast using melee comparing to bows. Is that normal? As soon I start to melee-fight, my hp goes down in big chunks…

Hello!

I am new in this game and I am having troubles with having a like-able character to play.

My first char was Mesmer, got it to like lv23 but then I thought that I should play something else, since I was dying so much and the idea of wearing a big sword to cast spells was really odd and weird for me.

So I made a Ranger.

I got it to lv9 (yes it’s low) and I have tried most of the weapons. So there are 2 bows. The little one just shoots white arrows. That is not acceptable for me at all. The long one has a nice AoE effect, but still, lots of white-arrow spamming (auto-attack feels sooo slow…).

Is it real that Ranger is so boring visually? Maybe I’m just too low in level (does it even matter what lvl I am considering visuals?).

Mesmer and necro (I tried few lvls) look so much better visually in my opinion. But still not my cup of tea!

Thanks a lot!
