I'm new to the GW franchise and I'm thinking of prepurchasing GW2, I have a couple of questions I hope you beta testers/GW veterans can answer.
I see this game has manual dodging...can we use this properly with our higher latency? Would be pretty sad to dodge and still get hit cause of latency, that'll put us in great a disadvantage in pvp.
Also what is the end-game in GW2 for PvE? I heard there's no gear grind, which is good and bad at the same time. So with no gear grind, how do we improve our char once we reach the lvl cap? What is there to do once we reach lvl 80?
For PvP, do you get anything for winning other than bragging rights?

QUOTE(SoLiD @ Jul 2 2012, 12:33 PM) yes i was able to dodge properly because the visual queue for the mobs to cast big skill is quite obvious...as for dodging in pvp it's harder...if you are 1v1 then you can do it, if you know ur opponent class well and know what spell they are gonna cast as there are not as much visual queue you will have to predict their spells...if its like 4-5 people fighting nearby it will be very hard as there are shits flying all over.... there is no "end-game" in gw2, even after you reach lvl 80 those mobs in the starter zone can still own you if you don't play properly, unlike other mmo in gw2 you don't have a specific tier armor you wanna aim for once you get it then wait for the next tier...you can go back re-do old dungeon or try new dungeon at lower level area and still find a possible upgrade to your gears....reaching lvl cap means almost nothing in gw2..so there is no rush to reach lvl cap then only start enjoying the game...just play it at your pace and you will still enjoy it as much... PvP for GW2 is like a whole new universe...your gear in PvE are not link to the gears in PvP world(note this is for sPvP only not WvWvW) so you will have to play PvP to earn points to buy PvP gears in there.. as for WvWvW you will be using your PvE gears but scaled up to max level stats. Thanks. Sounds good. One more important question, do you have any problem hitting someone in melee if he's is running away from you(eventhough you're right behind him). I played Warhammer Online and the game engine was coded so badly that I can't hit anyone in melee if they're running away eventhough I'm right behind them...keeps saying you're too far away, it wasn't latency friendly game at all. Quit that game right away. WoW didn't have this problem and I hope GW2 doesn't suffer from the same thing cause I love playing melee. |

Overall pretty fun experience during BWE3, I bought the game to get in. But the lag is terrible, sometimes takes up to 2 seconds to fire off a skill. Is this normal? Cause if it is I'm gonna ask for a refund cause it's pretty frustrating PvPing with this kinda lag. The lag makes connecting Death Lotus on my thief impossible. I ping guildwars2.com and it's like 280ms only but in game it feels more like 2000ms. I really hope this is just a beta issue.
