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

using any numbers past like 5 is just terrible. They need to let you bind shit like ctrl+1, or ctrl+r because hitting 6-10 or any of the f1-f4 is just really bad.

They need to let you bind shit like ctrl+1, or ctrl+r because hitting 6-10 or any of the f1-f4 is just really bad.[/QUOTE] Sometimes I bind the forward/back buttons and sensitivity buttons on my mouse to 6-10, really handy

with gw1 you didnt need to keep your hands on wasd though because of auto follow, i usually bind q e r v c f and alts of those along with mouse binds

I use Q, E, R, Z, C for 1-5 respectively. Healing and 3 utility are 1-4, and my elite being ~. I use shift as my change weapon set action key.

I think my favourite part of the combat was the weapon swapping system. It really lets you experiment and set up some pretty baller combos on the fly. As an example, my favourite for single melee enemies was Axe/Sword and Rifle. I'd open up with [url=http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Brutal_Shot_(rifle_skill)]Brutal Shot[/url] to apply vulnerability, then [url=http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Aimed_Shot]Aimed Shot[/url] to cripple. As they limped towards me I'd pound them with a [url=http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Volley]Volley[/url] and when the cripple wore off or they reached me, I'd [url=http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Rifle_Butt]Rifle Butt[/url] them, swap to Axe/Sword and throw my [url=http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Throw_Axe]Axe[/url] [i]and[/i] my [url=http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Impale_(warrior)]Sword[/url] at them. By this point I'd have a bar of adrenaline, so I'd leap in with [url=http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Eviscerate]Eviscerate[/url] and tear my sword out of them for a massive burst of spike damage. If they still weren't dead at this point I'd use [url=http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Cyclone_Axe]Cyclone Axe[/url], swap back to Rifle and use Brutal Shot off cooldown for a capped stack of vulnerability and finish them off with whatever. It was a really fun setup that let me defeat level 20 bandits while I was only at 17. That also meant that if they caught me I was basically fucked, so I had to play as perfectly as I possibly could.

My setup is more like 1-6 r+t for 7+8 and c+v for 9+0 using x to sheathe/unsheathe weapons and z to change weapon set. If they add shift + I'll probably use that with R and T, and tbh they probably will, seems like such a basic feature.

I've never actually noticed if I ever use Q and E for Strafe... I mainly use the mouse for strafing. EDIT: Nevermind, now that I think about it more I use Q and E to strafe a lot.

heal q and elite e sounds amazing to me

When is the next beta event?

[QUOTE=Acrono;35812554]When is the next beta event?[/QUOTE] No one knows and we're all eagerly waiting for the next one. From the GW2 facebook page: [quote]We know you're all eager for Beta Weekend Event 2! We're excited too, so while we wait (and no, we don't have a date yet, sorry), we'd love to hear about your favorite, most exciting moment from Beta Weekend Event 1. ~RB2[/quote]

When do you guys think the game will probably be released judging on how the beta weekends will work and the time in between them. Mid August? Early September?

You guys got me really thinking about my keyboard setup now. I'm still torn between several setups but I won't be able to find out if it works well until I actually try it out. Here goes another wait, hopefully 3 weeks!

i would hope for july or august release and be so pissed if its September because i would be moving to uni

how about a june or july release if they work overtime and get it working

well there beta is in a much better state than any others ive been in, if they get the beta weekends up more often we can help balance it, but one beta event a month just is to little time to get good data. blizzards beta's are up every day apart from like wednesday for maintenance or when they are hotfixing somthing. Im not really sure how long it would take to optimise the game though.

i want to see some dance animations would be interesting to see what dances they pick

[QUOTE=mickers;35818399]i want to see some dance animations would be interesting to see what dances they pick[/QUOTE] I loved the dances from gw1; actually the first thing I did in the BWE was try /dance. If they give everyone a unique dance, that would be amazing! 5 races, 2 genders, 8 professions. 80 deviations to look forward to!

i would have got the digital delux even if it only came with a unique dance animation

guys imagine a golem playable race golem thieves golem engineers engineering more golems

[QUOTE=bunnyspy1;35819620]guys imagine a golem playable race golem thieves golem engineers engineering more golems[/QUOTE] sounds dumb!!

An expansion (Cantha?) that adds Tengu and Frogmen as playable races would be cool.

[QUOTE=Bullet100;35795586]Anyone know of a WvWvW video that includes an epic charge towards a keep and a massive battle against the enemy invaders? I'm trying to get my friend into it.
