Guild Wars 2

I have a razer mouse now and more buttons on my mouse hand than I know what to do with now. Like most gamers, I used WASD for movement and it’s easy for me to hit numbers 1-4 for attacks but after that, my small hands stop working so well.

Therefore before my fancy mouse, I would shift my most used skill to the mouse-wheel-downpress (usually a heal or in GW2, perhaps that would be dodge). I would then bind SHIFT-mousewheel-up, SHIFT-mousewheel-press and SHIFT-mousewheel-down to skills I used frequently and needed to reach without excessive strain.

That pretty much covered me for most games, since I now had four skills bound to my basic mouse, freeing my left hand up a bit and kept my finger keyreach to something I could manage.

I am frustrated and not finding this fun too. Actually, I’m mostly just confused and feeling about five steps behind everybody else.

I don’t like having to run google searches to figure out if there’s any information anywhere about where and how to do something… or anything really. The “clues” on how to progress were coyly opaque, which is to say I spent way too much time getting somebody to TELL me what to do next because I couldn’t figure out from the game what the next step was. That was pretty much no fun, nobody likes feeling lost.

I missed the noon Friday phase one launch because, hey, I work! I had responsibilities at home at noon Saturday so hey, I missed the phase two launch. I completed the borked holdup at Subdirector Noll this afternoon, then did Canach in about five minutes and felt pretty much zero accomplishment on either step. The whole thing felt like such a letdown because from my perspective, I was chasing a crowd that had moved on six hours earlier.

Got to the new zone and nothing is happening. There’s people piling up at a jump puzzle sure, but there isn’t a single NPC yelling about taking the fight back to the mothership and leading a charge I can get in on. The mobs hit like a freight train on steroids. I find a champion boss along the south coast and I am the only one around.

Confused. No idea what I’m doing. Nothing is happening. I’ve missed every single part of this event. Not really having a good time at all.

Sorry ArenaNet, but maybe you should space these things out over more than three days and have stuff happening constantly so all of us can have a real shot at participating. And PLEASE don’t hold the clues so kitten tight to your proverbial chest. I hate guessing with a passion.

Great to hear! I really want to run a spirit-based build simply because it would look awesome (sue me, but they look good and I’m all about visual) but the performance of spirits just hasn’t been where I could survive with them.

I am all for options and more fun times. Bring it, MrJonPetersArenaNetSir.

All I want for Halloween is a flaming pumpkin for a head. Time frame immaterial.

Bring it!

This is Ciuin, my sylvari ranger. I love her to death – she’s so pretty.
