Guild Wars 2

I haven't really played in 2 months and now I'm a bit disheartened. I had such an amazing Ele build. I'll see if I can replicate it at some point with the new trait system.
 
I won't be able to replicate my Lava Font. I had it so that I could cast it again the moment the old one expired. It did insane crit damage and I could keep it up indefinitely.

Might even switch weapon sets entirely now.

Ironically enough the build that they shifted me over to after the trait system overhaul was quite similar to what I had in place - it might actually even have resulted in a slight improvement.

Just a bit bummed that the overhaul didn't come with a way to save builds - that's really something they need to figure out how to implement in the game.

Guild Wars 2 is now free to play - with restrictions versus the paid for game ...

With the restrictions in place this is more of a net positive than a negative. I don't see how growing the community is a bad thing. With 10 man raids coming the more potential people we have the better.

Yeah - I'm busy working on a couple of my acquaintances now to see if I can tempt them into the game. The chat restrictions will be a little bit annoying when the time comes to teach them the ropes, but for that I can utilise any available voice-chat app, so it's all good. Wouldn't want general chat full of gold spam, after all.

It will happen though.
 
There's going to be gold spam anyway. The bar for entry for gold sellers just got a lot lower and waiting 30 seconds before you can whisper a new person is no issue for automated bots.

It's an annoyance, but a minor one.

I've yet to play an MMO where spam didn't crop up from time, and as long as it doesn't get to the levels I've experienced in Aion or STO, I can live with it.

It's always been in GW2, but very scarce. Now I expect the starter zones to be filled with the bastards.
 
That is a possibility - but though accounts are free - it is difficult to post things from that account. So the problem might not be as big an issue as it might seem.
 
Some quick thoughts on Beta before going to bed.

Okay - played some with the Beta - the new skills are nice on Ele and Mesmer - not fully tested. The wildlife are a bit tougher, but the main challenge is to get used to their AOE patterns - which is new. Space to manoeuvre is limited. Maps are very different. Bouncing Mushrooms like the air/light "lifts" in Silver Wastes are going to have to be mastered - gliding is also something that is going to make a big difference in how you travel around the map. Did not get either mastered, but go for glider mastery first, then the bouncy mushrooms. Now have significant differences between day/night activity by the local hostiles. Seems the cycle is 40 minutes.

Revenant seems to survive decently and do decent damage, but it is going to take awhile to work it out.

Lots of places where you can fall of and die. So be careful where and how you use you jumps and escapes.

That is about it for now - now time to doedoes. :)
