Guild Wars 2

I was going to write a post about this too… so I endorse this post!

How Has this not been addressed by someone from ArenaNet yet? The info so far has been great but there are a lot of unknowns here still…

I really like the argument of “how does some of this armor work?” “it defies gravity” “it’s unrealistic”… well guess what my character shoots fireballs, takes multiple swipes from swords and fights dragons. Don’t be so selective in your suspension of disbelief.

I don’t think everyone has a habit of reading the forum before they log in.

I was not waiting til the last minute, I was under the impression that the final event day was on the 16th (and only the 16th) so naturally I was waiting until that day to experience the content. I do hope that Anet rolls back on this decision because it isn’t really going to go over well when people log on for the first time in a week because they have busy schedules, or they are adults, or they are casual players, or they are all of these things.

I did log in today but I didn’t rush to the towns to see the bonfires I was in the middle of other areas in the game. I finished up these things (which took me through the update) and went to the towns to find that there was nothing there, only then did I go to the forum to see why there was such a lame ending to this event… now I know… because Arena net changed something at the last minute.

I don’t care about the last achievement but it is kind of a disappointment after going through the whole arc.

So do you want to make art?… or Design… I’m currently in the game industry and I can tell you with certainty those two things are quite different. That’s not to say that you can’t do both, but I would say that few people (where I work anyway) have both artist and designer in their job title. Colleges tend not to know how an industry truly functions so they fill you with the knowledge of the entire thing. It’s hard to get in without a stellar portfolio in the discipline of your choosing, and it’s hard to create that portfolio with out direction. Find the thing you excel at and love doing, and once you become successful at that you can start to think about branching out.

I’m sure the 500 word thing was partially so they wouldn’t have 8 novels to read from 7 applicants. But more importantly a good restriction is the perfect thing for creativity. A Haiku only has seventeen syllables but can describe the world, and on the other hand you can write for days and end up with nothing meaningful. Just remember that the number of words isn’t really that important, it’s more about the quality of the message.

We all start wanting to conquer the game industry. Learn how it works first and then draw up a plan of attack. Good Luck with school!

“Roll out” Followed by a special fear animation wherein the character slowly rolls away. Or perhaps a purple low rider pulls up and takes you away.

Yeah I agree with most of the commentors here. While initially feeling confused by the key binding I could eventually figure out a new way to play. (Seems that I don’t use the leap to finish like most people I use it to start so laying down a symbol while I’m not even in agro is a huge waste of 20 seconds now). But what does bother me is the idea that my guardian is super boring with the great sword now.

I haven’t played any Guild Wars 2 since this last update and I might not play my guardian until something here is resolved. Since that’s my main character I don’t really see my self playing my alts because they are such low levels. I’ve been with Arena net since before the launch of Prophecies because I had a friend who worked there but they are about to lose me here. Sounds dramatic I know but the game isn’t fun like it was a week ago.

My main has lost the will to live.

I agree.. except the button mapping… I hate it. I’ve already died in a low level area due to specifically to the Idea that my skills don’t do enough Damage and the fact that I’m fumbling too much with a re work of buttons…. and now I have to go to the hospital to untangle my fingers.

I also feel like upping recharge times makes for a boring build. I wan’t to feel like I am doing something more than 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 3 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 4 5… repeat (I realize there is an auto attack but I was being dramatic) If there is a real need to have less damage then make the skill do less damage don’t add a longer time to wait between recasting. Definitely don’t do both.

This was really hard to type with my fingers the way they are.
