Won't let me log in most of the time. I'll have to keep trying like 20 times to get lucky. This is what I get for pre-purchase? Can't even log in easily?

To quote myself from the other GW2 discussion thread...

The logon servers are down, you can't connect to the game or forums, so yeah. Just wait for them to fix it.

IN BEFORE PEOPLE WHINE ABOUT CRUMMY SERVICE AS IF THIS WAS THE FULL RETAIL GAME!!!

Oh wait... tongue.gif

Melee is really bad in this game, and I'm now using a rifle nearly 100% of the time on my Warrior. I'm level 10 with full level 10 gear, and 1vs1 with a level 6 mobs means I get to about 10% health. The game scales you down so, i'm still level 6. The game wants you to kill 2-3 level 6 mobs at the same time in my personal story, when I can barely kill 1.
Damage output needs to be toned down. I'm really not sure how we're suppose to dodge attacks from 3 guys who hit us for 1/3 our health or so.

I don't think that melee is bad, I just think everybody doesn't really understand how the game really works just yet. I mean, we all started playing only a day ago? Surely we cannot become masters at our own professions in such a short amount of time, especially in a game with such a fluid combat system smile.gif

o.k. now this really sucks.

i just got an email today about some free gems. here is the problem

when i use the download client (wich is extremly slow) it freezes at around 7-15%. and it takes 3 hours too get to the 15%. the speed issue isn't with my internet.

yeah i am a little mad. i know this is a beta, but i gave them my $70 bucks to sneek peek it. if i knew i would of had these issues i would have waited for the disk to come out.

Don't let the enemy face you, do a circle around the mob always trying to get it's backside. For multiple mobs, switch to ranged. They do need to scale down dmg output of mobs though.

PVE =! PVP in this game. PVP is fine. PVE needs damage toned down some. Melee weapons need to give you more defense or something. I'm not sure how they'll do it, but I know that 90% of casual MMO gamers will never grasp this system.

I've put over 20 hours into the game, level 18 now, and I'm finally starting to do better with 2 vs 1 melee to the point where I only lose about 50% HP with perfect dodging and strifing. Ranged is still so much easier, and for any type of boss mob I used ranged to avoid being 1-2 shot. I'm doing far better than most I see, I keep having to res people over and over because they aren't grasping the system at all.

My initial impression of the game was pretty bad, I wasn't enjoying myself for the first 6 hours or so. It took awhile to grasp the system, and I fear many will give up like I almost did. I was having a lot of fun up until servers went down... however level 13+ areas are ghost towns. Not very many people are getting that high in the beta.

I agree I tried it at a friends, to a limited extent of course, but playing the thief I took quite a bit in the way of brutal beatings. I thought it was just me at first but as I got beat more and more.....I came to a similar conclusion to yours. Also the game looks good, and reminds me of its lineage with Guild Wars one....but it also screams ncsoft to me with a style reminiscent of Aion or the new Lineage 2 art style. Over all it's ok from my limited experience....but needs work.
