I answered, "Happy".
THAT IS NOT TRUE!

Stop perpetuating this nonsense.
Yeah, I did some research after the fact and the human eye does indeed not process in conventional "Frames per second" so the whole human eye fps concept is a fallacy.
Deja Vu...I've seen this conversation before. Weird.
"Chicks are like Voltron, the more you hook up the better it gets"
Yeah it's like the "only use 10% of your brain" myth. It just gets repeated as fact even though it's completely false.
Strangely this topic came up in the Guild Wars 2 Guru forum today too.
Bad time for a stress test in SA. O well. Guess I will skip this one. I also had the graphics glitches last night which made a jumping puzzle I was attempting, a suicide mission.
Please feel free not to shout at someone that they are a noob, or do so if it makes you feel mucho leet. I learned a valuable fact and you insist that I was making my 25fps statement knowing full well I was wrong?
Stop perpetuating your condescension.

Right so on to some more positive things.
How did you find what you've see of the game so far (I know it's not much)? You're quite the MMO veteran so a first glimpse opinion would be interesting.
You know what, the aspect of the game that struck me first off and is still with me, even though I played for 40 minutes is the artistic style. It was very refreshing not to find either a style that seeks to be "realistic" or the other side of the spectrum, cartoonish. I thoroughly enjoyed the "painting - artistic" effect on icons and other features.
From talking to real life friends for hours on the phone about this game, I can so far see that Arenanet has tried to do what we ("we" as in the growing crowd of MMO enthusiasts who are tired of the old genre) have been begging a company to do for a long long time: innovate and break away from the tried, tested and now stale mechanics.
Only time will tell the tale if this will be a successful innovative venture or not, but judging from the already huge community, it certainly has drawn a good crowd.
I for one am going to love seeing how it grows.
