Guild Wars 2

Yeah, was told that too.
Thing is, if you get the pre-order with a disc now, you will have loads and loads of updates to do just to play when the game comes out. I think the dvd will be included copies sold after the release of the game.

Well have to see, even so I'll hijack a copy from work and just use it to install :D
 
So from speaking in depth with my friend about his experience about the beta, and we do pretty much share the same interests, there are a few things that bother him and which I'm a bit concerned about. Main ones are:

1. Melee can be negated too easily, and Warriors can get their arses kicked np by a player that knows how to kite and roll/dodge. I know Warriors get rifles and what not, but it sucks that melee is being neglected this much- if true.

2. Auto attack does too much damage. I can't recall everything we spoke about on this matter, but it seems that it's ridiculously high for him compared to DAoC auto attack, and rather takes the fun out of combat for him.

When I wake up more and remember the rest, I'll put um down. At the moment Mesmer sounds like the most interesting class to me, and will definitely be trying it with it's shadow clone no jutsus.
 
I played a "mission" on Sunday where I (Norn Warrior, using a mighty hammer), fought against a Char and got my ass handed to me. Eventually I retried it, and had to use a rifle, and then keep on stunning my opponent, after which I was able to survive.
 
axe/mace switch to axe/axe, axe/axe, and sword/sword along with riffle is the only way to go atm. I played an alt warrior for pvp and I dont see where you guys are coming from. They are overpowered atm. They are so easy to play. My fav spec was sword/sword with riffle. I run around with riffle out and get a few shots off with that 3-4 shots = full adrenaline. I continue to bleed and kite until I can or need to get into melee, I then make the swap, block an attack, hit f1, then hit 4 which tosses my sword. This entire combo hits for around 20-30k damage and stacks bleeds that will do another 20k+ damage. In many battlegrounds I played with my warrior this weekend I was on 4/4 for latest kills and often got 5-0 and 10-0 streaks.

I do agree that hammer warriors are underpowered especially with our lag with the fact that they have such long cast times and can all be dodged but warriors have so many viable builds at the moment. I always main melee classes in MMOs and can safely say we have enough gap closers and slows to be able to keep with other ranged classes.

Thanks really appreciate the feedback.

It was brilliant, the game is truly something else. It did have it's issue though, the worst of which was the terrible performance, but they are aware of the problems and are working on it.
