Guild Wars 2

Personally I use dagger/pistol and shortbow. Simply for single target I go melee with dagger/pistol, if there are multiple mobs I use shortbow for the AOE. It is a fun mix of both melee and range and I like being able to mix it up durring a fight as the number of mobs drop or other helpful fellows come along.

This is from a PVE only point of view. Can’t bring myself to leave the world to go into WvWvW or PvP yet.

I have to say I adore these guys. The techno-babble, the appearance, the amazing capital city. Oh and those epic skills!

But it is the height that is something that I have become used to in the game. Rolling other races feels like the camarea is in the wrong place for me. It is amazing coming across a norn in an event, just standing near them makes me giggle.

That does nicely bring up the on issue I have. The only thing I would love is a giggle or chuckle emote, as while rolling around on the floor is entertaining, it can be a bit of an over reaction!

Personally I adore this games way of dealing with ‘end game’.

There are other games out there when levelling and end game are two completely different concepts, and for the life of me I can’t understand why. I spend ages playing a game that is really fun, interesting, and huge just so I can go and stand in a cramped area for hours on end doing the same thing over and over… I just can’t see the carrot on the stick there!

I enjoy exploring the world, I enjoy the events, the mini puzzles and all that goes with it. The fact that this game keeps the ‘end game’ in this vein just makes so much more sense. There are zones where things are more epic more ‘end game’ but the way you play them is the same as the rest of the game. You do not get gear upgrades stats wise no, but that to me just means there is more I can do straight off. I do not have to wade through one instance time and time again just so I can wade through the next repeatedly for weeks. I can do anything and gear isn’t a barrier only what I actually fancy doing!

Some will not like the change, some will. I am one of those that definitely does.

They have said they will be expanding the forums in the future, and there was a guild sub-forum during the beta weekends. For an official respone:

“As we mentioned in this post, we will open up additional Guild Wars 2 forums when our developers are satisfied that they’re performing well under heavy load.” – Regina Buenaobra
