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

[QUOTE=daijitsu;36872558]in the asura beginning zones, I've found there's a rather dramatic jump in quest level requirements after you hit 9. I had to do the lvl 10 main story quest at 9 (which was balls-hard but fun as a result), and the next one after that is lvl 11 then 14. I've all but completed every available side-quest that isn't two levels above my head and I'm still only lvl 12, and that's WITH running to all of the area events I've seen, getting gold participation all the time. I know it's still a huge upgrade from the grind you find in a lot of other MMOs already, I'm just kind of surprised the curve struck already[/QUOTE] The idea is that you can level up by doing anything. But that also means that eventually you'll have to do everything to level up. And you can go to different areas, different starting areas and do stuff there too.

[QUOTE=Frisk;36874248]Installing the Beta now. Dumb question, but do races have perks with certain classes (Like Asuran's are supposed to be smart, so they'd get bonuses to Engineer, or something like that), or is it purely an aesthetic choice?[/QUOTE] Purely aesthetic, at the moment. There might be some really specific build for a dungeon down the line that requires a race's elite or something, but just choose whichever one looks/sounds the best.

Can you make a pvp only character?

[QUOTE=alx12345;36874575]Can you make a pvp only character?[/QUOTE] You don't have to. Structured PvP auto levels you to 80 and gives you all of the skills.

I heard a rumor on the forums that the characters created this time around on the beta won't be deleted for the launch. Anyone know if there is truth to this?

It is quite fun. thing is, I think the urge to play all of gw2 that I can has put me on a sort of binge. It still hasn't gotten boring, even after spending the best part of yesterday and today on it.

[QUOTE=daijitsu;36875293]where did you find glasses I need them for reasons[/QUOTE] They look like the reading glasses from the Gem Store.

[QUOTE=daijitsu;36875293]where did you find glasses I need them for reasons[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Swanky;36875391]They look like the reading glasses from the Gem Store.[/QUOTE] They are. They were like 150 gems, which is about $2. I'd rather have them than a soda from a vending machine :v:

How does one get the flamethrower for the engineer? Is it from a skill point?

Just got a new PvP staff. Looks sweet! [img]http://niggaupload.com/images/Q4Fpl.png[/img]

[QUOTE=TehDoctorz;36875226]I heard a rumor on the forums that the characters created this time around on the beta won't be deleted for the launch. Anyone know if there is truth to this?[/QUOTE] Characters in this beta will be deleted.

[QUOTE=TheMustacheHero;36875453]How does one get the flamethrower for the engineer? Is it from a skill point?[/QUOTE] it's a part of a kit [url]http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Flamethrower[/url]

Finally I can play some more. I've had to go to a wedding yesterday and I chose to volunteer this all day today, but I did nothing but play GW2 during the first two events.

[QUOTE=Newbienice99;36874651]You don't have to. Structured PvP auto levels you to 80 and gives you all of the skills.[/QUOTE] That mean i reach lvl 80 when i get in WvW?

did anybody else find the engineer class underwhelming?

[QUOTE=StupidUsername67;36876358]did anybody else find the engineer class underwhelming?[/QUOTE] It's awesome fun to play, great at everything. They can easily change their playstyle on the move, which is very useful. You can opt for aoe damage, spike damage, crowd control, healing/team buffs, or a mix of it all. My favorite setup so far is dual pistols, healing turret, rocket turret, rifle turret and the grenade kit, plus the crate as the elite skill. Kicks ass in PvP, can decimate an entire group with the crate if you can place your turrets too. From what I've seen in PvP, Warriors are the most dangerous, very high dps plus hard to kill. Thieves are also very dangerous if you don't kill them quickly. Rangers are a pain in the arse, their pets really fuck you up. Mesmers are annoying as you attack their clones half the time, and they can heal themselves to almost full health. Necros seem fairly useless, weak and don't contribute much, I've only seen one do well, and they were unkillable. Eles are only a problem if you ignore them, they have some crazy damage output while left alone, but they can look after themselves if attacked.

[QUOTE=alx12345;36876301]That mean i reach lvl 80 when i get in WvW?[/QUOTE] In WvW, your health and damage are boosted to a level 80 level. You don't have all of the skills unlocked, and your damage isn't 1:1 with a true 80 because of your gear. But you will be able to take on higher level players, depending on your skill at the game.

can i get invited to the guild? my name is baulthazar

[QUOTE=Cam00;36876628]Can you use PvP gear? Or is it PvE stuff only?[/QUOTE] I doubt PvP gear would be allowed because it is literally made to be the perfect gear, and completely customizeable. It would be PvE gear, and you can apparently get PvE drops/experience/skills in WvW.

After quite some hours of gameplay I have finally been able to make a decision on which race and class will be my main. Sylvari Mesmer, yo.

I'm torn between human necro and norn warrior now, dunno which I should play when the game gets released.

flamethrower engineer is lots of fun. [t]http://i.imgur.com/Lq518.jpg[/t]

Just submitted this as my entry for the screenshot contest. [img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/PpFukh.jpg[/img_thumb] I'm gonna try and get an action shot, if not I'll just submit this photo. Each person is allowed only two entries. [img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/7Mljjh.jpg[/img_thumb]

Can you still wear the mesmer mask, and Engineer goggles when you get a helmet? Or do they get replaced by the helmet?

Definitely making a guardian. I love banish on the hammer. I've yet to try it out on an asura since I haven't been able to get into w v. w, but when I do, I'll let you guys know how far they fly.
