Guild Wars 2
 

Seeing as Guild Wars 2 conversations seems to be taking over other threads, why not make our own thread :D?


Is anyone participating in the Beta Event this weekend?


I'm gonna be a Necro, what's everyone else's class

No I won't be playing the beta, but I might get the game when it comes out.

The Mesmer class looks interesting, but like I've said in the other thread the game has some cool features, but it's ending up looking like every other MMO.

Kill 10 rats, repeat... Escort quest, repeat...

But the combat looks a little more action-y and I like the "combos" you can do like throw up a fire wall and have people shoot arrows, that in turn, turn into fire arrows.

So I'll give it chance, I just think I'm getting too old for MMOs in general and I've become too casual...

We'll see. :)

holy crapp beta is amazing, anyone else playing right now?

Is it an open beta? I'm not playing, but all 3 of my sons did at one point. They might be interested if they aren't aware.

yeah its open, this beta event lasts from today to Sunday

Open but not free - you have to pay up front for the game.

I was wrong. I watched another video, and although you can grind, you're always participating in some sort of world quest. Kinda like Warhammer, or Rift.

Hrmmm.

If I'm bored enough this weekend I might pre-order and try out the beta...

Meh. I'll wait for the game reviews, try out the latest build of PCars this weekend. Although I love the idea of not paying a monthly fee just to play (WoW, I'm looking at you!).

Good if you guys don't decide to play there's less stress on the server for me. ;p

I played GW so I'll be playing GW2. Pre-purchased my CE loonngg ago. :)

As for class...

I'll be strictly PvP so Everything is game. ;D

Ugh. All of the regular pre-orders are sold out. I guess I'll have to wait to play beta.

:(

I got lucky, lol. I pre-ordered mines the last minute and got invited to beta.

I've got to say, this is one of the best game ever.

Because it has no monthly subscription. It was one of the first successful MMO/PvP that came out after WoW that a person didn't have to pay monthly. I know I put plenty of hours into it and thats how I gained weight; too much PvPing. I'm hesitant to pick this game up because it would interfere with my current lifestyle.

Boy was WoW addicting, thank god I stop playing that.. lol

I think GW2 is different in a way that it doesn't force you to play. Like when I play WoW, I feel like since I'm paying monthly for this, I feel obligated just to log on and screw around and not even actually play

But with no monthly payment I feel like I don't need to do that. I play when I really want to play.

+ it's not only the monthly payment, the details and subtleties that this game offers in comparison to WoW is ridiculous...

:bump:

So, I just pre-purchased, and got to play the stress test today. I rolled a warrior and will be rolling that during launch (25th this month for those of you who pre-purchase get a 3 day head start) Game is very fun, and pvp is better than Aion.

Anyways, it would be cool if gamer's from this sight go to the following server if they decide to play:

I declare "SEA OF SORROWS" the official NA server for 86 members.

You can find me via the following game registration handle:

Jeremysmokin.9836

The guild I'm in will have vent, and there will be tons of mmo vets playing...

See you in game hopefully! ;)
