Have they implemented DX10 yet? If they have, does it make any noticable improvements? I'm on vacation and won't have the chance to play this weekend.

That's funny. You know, this reminds me of a comment I have. What's the purpose of dodge if missile attacks (spells, arrows, bullets et al) "follow" you?


Anyway, no one has responded to my question about the Graphics Options. I notice that when I open the Options Pane> Graphics, make changes, then close and reopen the Pane the changes are reset.


Also, I find my newest toon to be amusing.

Introducing Minnie Mauser

I'm so not sure about buying the game. Havent played GW before so not sure what I'm up too. Always been a huge WoW fan, SWTOR too. But GW2 from what I see is looking a lot cartoony.

Is there any ressemblance between GW2 and WoW? Whats the good thing about GW2 that makes you think it's wrong not to buy it?

I need help! lol

Man I am having a hard time deciding which class to play for live. I wanted to finalize my decision this BWE. I am leaning toward Rifle Warrior but after playing it most of the weekend it kinda feels "bland" or "vanilla". Same 10 keys or so and no fancy effects. Plus being limited to single target only might not be the best thing for WvW.

Tried a couple of different Ele builds and I just can't get a good vibe about them. Single target damage seems lower than my Warrior but it does have AoE. But AoE doesn't seem to help all that much in sPvP where everyone is moving around constantly. Plus of course they drop faster.

Has anyone found a class that was like OMG this is perfect for me and never looked back? I am having a heck of a time choosing. (I am one of those types that likes to hard core game a single character and get as good as possible with em and not have 10 different ones).

GW1 was a completely different game to GW2.
Combat is quite different than wow. Good thing its free to play, you only have to buy the game and play as much as you want.

This is my character, Spinel.

 

 

 

 

Found the BEST way to get a feel for classes, go into the Mist place. It levels your character to lvl 80, unlocks EVERY skill and everything Only downside is you dont have given every useable weapon so can only judge it based on what you start with but still Done it with all the classes to get a feel for them. Ranger doesn't feel to great, loved Engineer with all the weapon options and Guardian seemed kinda Paladin like. Elemental wasnt too bad either and still liking the Mesmer so Necromancer has gone down a bit it just didnt feel that great . Likely going to have a character for most of the races - just to get the feel for all the stories, which class for which race i have yet to decide the only race i will unlikely use is Slyvari as i just cant stand it

Likely classes i will go with are Mesmer, Engineer, Ele, Guardian and not sure about the 5th, also dont know what my main will be either which doesnt really help me much :/

EDIT:

So thats every class tried in Order of how much i like them : Mesmer > Engineer > Ele > Necro > Guardian > Ranger > Warrior > Thief
I might like the Necro more then the Guardian but seeing as i already have 3 "range" classes in the form of Mesmer, Engi and Ele i dont see the point in having another one so i will be making a Guardian instead of it. Still going with Mesmer, Engineer, Ele and Guardian for 4 of my 5 classes as for class and race combinations think i will make a Asura Mesmer, Charr Guardian, Norn Engineer and Human Elemental

That is a JOKE, i really hope things like that dont get into the game proper - easy to dodge but even when you dont it doesnt do barely any damage - makes the whole dodge thing pointless. Of course this is just ONE mob during a beta so who knows lets just hope they dont nerf everything to make it easy for everyone
