Guild Wars 2 V2: GOTY 2017 or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Arenanet

[Cree8ive]

[QUOTE=kenji;35773285]Oh god i miss this game, why isnt anything else fun.[/QUOTE]

This. I came home today with a disheartened feeling because I knew that the beta was already over so I wouldn't be able to play GW2.

Hope AreaNet will consider increasing the number of BWE in the future rather than once a month. One can dream...

I personally hope they don't. It would make the moment when it's finally released not seem as exciting. I might not even play anymore BWEs if the release is within the next 3-4 months just because i want to explore and do all that fun stuff and learn everything once it's released. This weekend was just enough to satisfy my needs

Rating bombing threads cause cloudflare to get mad. Stop it.

[AbysalRush]

I hope arenanet fixes the "checking for updates" glitch.

Something in the windows OS doesn't allow diag.arenanetworks to be pinged, its bs

Since when garry signed up for cloudflare. It freaks out when users run scripts that query the site constantly which in turn makes it spit out challenge pages to everyone else.

Of course, when you put it like that. I just wished I was able to play more...

[Vaught]

So what server will everyone be flooding for release? Seems like there was a lack of communication here and everyone flying anywhere was the preferred choice :v

[Alaskan Wolf]

Personally I was trying to collaborate with reddit, since they were a lot more organized in that.

I still ended up picking the wrong server, but hey.

Whens the next beta ? Or hasnt it been announced yet.

[elite3444]

Even after this beta I still can't really decide whether to make my main a thief or warrior

Warrior is awesome and feels powerful with a wide variety of weapons but is pretty simple overall

Thief has a lot of complex movement attacks which I like but feels pretty squishy especially in PVP compared to the Warrior

Anyone else still trying to decide?

Had trouble deciding between a Warrior and Elementalist. But then I did what I've always done; Roll a Warrior and make it my main.

Mesmer, Necromancer, Thief, Warrior, Ranger or Elementalist, I tried 'em all (necro to lvl 20) but god damn I don't know...

[mickers]

ive tried them all in pvp, engineer sadly is the weakest by far, ranger two handed sword is good with spirits.

double dagger thief sword dagger is good for a laugh and control but far less dmg

warrior 2h sword does insain damage with crazy survival i had 29khp with max toughness and +200 when slowed which is almost constant. hammer has great control and cn help set up a kill for ele

i didnt try necro too much but they last for ages with the switching to lifeforce bar

mesmers are great 1v1 in larger groups their mirrors get aoe'd down quick

guardian healer/support is really good , lasts for ages.

[editline]1st May 2012[/editline]

i think thief will be main, but ele and warrior are so much fun too.

[Titanium Knigh7]

GW2 weekend left like it started: in chaos.

[Beardy]

if they wipe characters and make us choose servers again i'm probably just gonna stick with crystal something.

I did [b]not[/b] feel as if the Guardian was a "Healer" class.
They were more like a spellcasting warriors, heavy armor and melee but with holy magic.
Every class is support, not just Guardian.

The guardian [i]can[/i] play as a pretty good healer/support. In his playing he found that that play style was worked well, and so did I. But much more than that, I could mess people up real bad with the bubbles. God I love those bubbles.

i didnt really try for dmg, i did some but it wasnt much, was a guardian in a pvp one time took us forever to kill him cus of all the heal abilitys.

the tome has a full heal to all nearby allies, and skill one is a non stop aoe heal that u can place on the floor

[editline]1st May 2012[/editline]

i think my ideal 5v5 team would be dagger thief, 2x hammer/sword warrior fire ele support guardian

[Nystical]

As a necro in pvp, the worm summon saved me... 2 players ganged up on me and I was going to die, ( i had placed my worm somewhere else as the fight is moving because I'm running away) and the second skill after you've placed the worm is to teleport to it (which destroys it) so I activated that and got away cleanly. Also, I was able to solo the bosses by laying down traps with the staff

[mickers]

as the sword/dagger thief i can teleport from the path below clocktower up onto the cap point if an enemy is on it, and press the ability again to port away, i got a clip of it that will be in my thief vid

[paperflag]

I'd like to see some underwater stuff in SPvP, just for the hell of it.
I also felt a bit vulnerable at times as an engineer in SPvP, except the Elixir gun really helped.

Mine was in line with that except I was only level 20~ with those except for the elite skill, which I couldn't take off. I used the sword and shield to double as chasing people to try to finish them of, and to get behind people do push them into friendlies with skill 5, then keep them there with staff skill 4.

In WvW I just happened to do a fair amount of damage, but that's probably considering how no one had many traits(and less had higher than me).

[mickers]

i didnt try WvW or pve this beta i think thats what ill do next one, and a bit more recording on my thief , didnt really bother binding the 7 8 9 skills but will next time

[editline]1st May 2012[/editline]

i think i have 40 mins of thief pvp footage tried to switch to bow for a bit and sword dagger, didnt use pistols though i didnt like them. would you guys like me to annotate some of the things i do when fighting?

This setup for PvP for the warrior was fucking insane. If you timed everything right you could have people down to 1/3~ish of their health (with a crit or two) before they could even move with all the knock downs and immobilizes i had. Just running around with that I probably got around 9000 glory by the end of the weekend. Was really, really fun
