guardians are really good if u are on the defensive side (mace + shield)...
it really help ur team a lot when u time all ur skills right...
i expect it more for premade setup...

personally i am enjoying ranger a lot but i jz hate the pet AI atm >.<
if the pet is fixed then i would love it considering i am a WL in WAR back then...
melee + pet is always awesome =)

i am pretty much bored of elementalist, mostly due to the lack of weapon swap...
reaching lvl 30, it do have some decent burst (scepter + dagger combo) and great utility...

no point to theory craft so fast...
the game IS IN ALPHA still...
u gonna see a lot of changes to the balance, stat etc...
in fact lots of changes are already on the way and dun be surprise to see tat in the next BWE...

ATM lots of stuffs are still placeholder (gems, runes etc)...
thus quite a waste of time atm to plan out ur builds...

once everything is confirmed then u can see theorycrafters doing hardcore number crunching (like EJ)...

crafting system is a bit different due to the discovery and its a bit more complicated compared to most MMO...
the WvW is pretty much a concept used in DAoC (which is one of the best PvP games out there) but GW1 is always known as a PvP game so it is ok for me...

nope not soul bound on creation...
u can see it or send it to ur other characters etc =)
i am 150 in 4 profession doing this lolx...
2 characters supporting each other profession...

Just a tip for rangers out there: -
1. setup a bow/ shortbow
2. 2nd weapon setup = MH + torch
3. use the torch's 5th skill to make fire around u
4. swap weapon to bow/ short bow and self combo flaming arrows down ur opponent

EZPZ =)

^ This...

I dunno bout u guys but did u guys explore the world fully?
There are caves behind waterfalls and vines...
There are hidden stuffs above the walls which can be gotten do by jumping on various platforms (and the same for all the other jumping puzzles out there)...
The world crafted by Anet is totally a beauty...
That moment when I met the Shatterer as he flies and land b4 all of us pew pew him using turrets etc was amazing...
There are also moments where I jz stopped moving and just look at the world around me taking screenshots (can't share those yet till they lift the NDA from me lolx)...

Not to mention friends...
The friends are what made MMOs fun...
The guild u are in (WoW or any other MMORPG) form a sense of belonging and attachment which keeps you playing and progress together as a core unit...
Unlike any other MMORPG as well, GW is tailored for eSport and the PvP, GvG and WvW aspect would be the time sucker...

And finally, new content...
Remember, the game is not like all those stupid grinding MMORPGs out there...
New contents are alway added, patches will come...
At the moment, only Zhaitan will be approachable and the rest of the elder dragons later on...

yeah it is counted...
i found a lot of cave...
if u are a char, go to the ascalon wall and start jumping up from the start of the wall, there is a skill point up there =)

not all are marked...
some have achievements with it =)

there is too much mouse interaction for example the gound casting etc...

u cant do quick turns with ground casting combo...

turning wit controller is no difference with a keyboard turner which is an auto lose in PvP lolx

nope haven optimized, the processing haven been put to the GPU fully yet

when a beta (GW2 is actually in alpha stage btw which is why we get BWE instead of a real beta) plays better and is waaaay more polished than a game supposedly 12 years in development (6 if u leave out blizz north), you get the answer...
i played tonne of MMO and was one of the high end raider in WoW and i can tell u this game blows WoW out of the water...

based on the content so far, it is still alpha stage...
there is still so much more to the game besides the 30 levels u get to enjoy in BWE...
even the itemization and some skills have placeholders still...

as mentioned, the game is still under development... they did address that such statistics are under their to-do list and would be implemented soon... for now that is not their current focus compared to putting in contents and fixing bugs etc i guess...

since when ranger face roll >.<

melee ranger depends on timing ur dodging/ evasion skills...
range ranger depends on kiting...
support ranger (spirit builds) requires movement and condition setups...

GW2 dun really have a faceroll profession...

if u go into instances, u will realize the boss fights isnt tank-spank like WoW...
its like a PvP with a boss requiring dodging etc since u dun have the holy-trinity basic...

and u cant faceroll in PvP >.<

try elementalist...
really good and flexible since u lack playing time =)

1. any race u like as they are all unique... the most polished one would be human and char imho... but really up to ur preferences cause ur personal story etc depends on ur race...
2. for profession, same as above
3. PvE/ personal story (their interleave very well) up to lvl 15/20 (this is pretty fast) then go WvW and PvP (the 5v5 style one)...

nope they are not...
I mainly PvP wit my ranger and it is really good if u know how to setup ur skills with pet swaps...

as for thief, they are freaking good if played right and are flexible enuff depending on ur playstyle...
this was one of my guildmate's vid from last BWE: -

of all the range class, ranger is the easiest with the pet for PvE imho... thief is really hard to pve without experience for sure lolx

they are not cows (aka taurens)... they are lion/kitty humanoids =(

every class can do everything from range to melee to support to damage...
there is no holy trinity for gw2
