then all classes are pretty much the same. All depends on latency....lol...hopefully there is a Asia server....

Nope. As much as i hate to say, it is debatable that there is still a tankier class or a better healer than the rest. Take for example, a guardian is tankier if you choose to go full tank than a warrior that goes full tank. This is because of the traits. But a guardian with full DPS cannot outmatch a warrior with full DPS because of utility skills and boons. But it's not THAT obvious. A warrior can still wield a shield and be the tank of the party. But then again, You utility skills are mostly for attacks, so using a warrior to tank is somewhat waste if you dont deal damage at all. As for healing. A water attunement elementalist and a guardian can have more healing skills than others. Reason being Guardian is really a support class more than a damage output class. But i've build some burning guardian and PvP guardian which also work pretty well. But support wise, guardian really shine. There are different still. Just not as obvious as every class has 6 as their Healing skill. and you can build around supporting. Question is, how good can you build one if your traits are mostly dmg dealing?

Then we are still stuck at latency problem...200-300ms.... cry.gif

I wouldn't really worry about that if I were you. I played many MMOs and i tend to avoid SEA and go for US. In fact it's SEA that has most instability compared to US. so far no latency problem. Although it IS 200-300. I dont know how much you've played US mmos but i see that you at least played D3. Is that so bad after all? I believe no. Worse case, subscribe proxy. You're seeing this game as an old schooler or seeing it as a traditional MMO or the WoW type MMORPG. Before you are disappointed. Throw that mindset aside. GW2 is different. And it's not for everyone. But with the community and devs that listens. I see a lot of potential. Progression was the special thing about MMORPG, but all games now have progression. So GW2 takes mmo into something new. Something that makes MMORPG different from other genre. I'd say you give it a try.

Hmm... The first thing people need, before entering the realm of GuildWars 2 is... open mind to new ideashmm.gif
This game got hyped (and sold massive copies before launch) not without reasons.

Everything from the start (creating a character), already improved with new ideas. I won't say they are totally different, but *improved* systems from older MMOs.

Speaking of improvements... Personally think there are still several functions I yet to see in this game...
1, collection book - (from a very old MMO) a book dedicated to store all your cash-shop cloths, mounts, decorations, dungeon keys... Since we have cash-shop costume in GW2, would be a good idea to have a dedicated collection book instead of messing it together with our inventory/bank. Will we EVER going to have mounts or decorations in GW2? sad.gif Well, flying is banned for sure. Oh right, we have mini-pets.  hmm.gif
2, trade notification - dedicated message panel to list out all the trading action going on, including stuff happened when you're offline. Currently, there is no notification or whatever trade record in the game. This is quite a hassle I have to remind myself to check the pickup tab in case there are any items or gold in there...
3, ... there should be more ...  hmm.gif  my brain stuck at the moment.
*
Agree, I buy items from AH, no indication. I thought i lag, i pressed few times, only to realize i bought it 5 times. - -
There are certainly systems to improve. But things like include a clock, sell all junk button, was all community suggestions and the devs implement it. That's the best thing a gamer can ask for. A dev that listens. They have one month. And there WILL be bugs when release. But hell i still cant wait.

Maybe similar to the system of Ah in d3..its pretty neat
*
Not really. AH in D3 has its flaws also, but it's simple and it works. GW2's AH is perfect. Just needed an indicator. Cause there is Match higher buyer or match lowest seller. To me that is really something well thought. I respect the devs for thinking. Perhaps their AH isnt complete yet. We'll see at launch.

QUOTE(krazy1 @ Jul 30 2012, 04:53 PM)
they have clock in it. just nid to turn it on in the settings smile.gif

I believe i say they implement it. On the minimap i know, i didnt tweak any settings. It was there. It wasnt at first. It was a suggestion from a community the devs dwell in. Cheers nod.gif

yes we are. There's only US and EU server anyway. And US is our default. We hope they put an oceanic server/sea server though, still voting at some forums. Only time will tell.

paly(guardian) and warrior team up....should be a good match
*
You mean GW2? Any team will do. It's tougher when you solo. It's a lot better when you team up even with just 1 more. Although mobs scale they dont scale too high so party is better (and more fun). I'm building a tank/support guardian while my friends are all DPS, which I think it's a good combination. Still cant wait to test it out yet. ARGH THE WAIT IS A TORTURE.

I tried solo some part with warrior, more than 1 enemies, and I will be close to dying haha. But good thing is warrior rifle do decent damage, so I could stick to range to take out the mob.
*
really? I liked bow better. Unless i stack bleeding with dualwield swords. Rifle is kinda slow in killing imo. Bow is more crowd control. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. Lol. Actually after watching many videos. I kinda realize I always did not dodge which leads to down/close to down stage. Hope I dodge properly in release. Which is tmr. AHHHHH I WISH.

Dude, you need to start using punctuation. I had hard time reading. I'm a PvE-er and the one i reply to was also talking about PvE. PvP no doubt bleed warrior better than bow warrior. Bow warrior maybe useful in WvW flank attacker. Dont know. I'm a guardian fan now.

eh did u play guardian much in pve?

In fact my guardian was the highest level of my BWE3. And PvE is all i do.

QUOTE(valho @ Jul 30 2012, 06:45 PM)
I didn't really try bow much, since I had always wanted my warrior to use rifle and dual sword biggrin.gif
Warrior rifle is more towards 1 vs 1 though, since all the skill are against single foe, if I get attack by more than 1 foe, I'll really need to dodge and move a lot or I just change back to swords biggrin.gif
*
Yeah, I figured. But I felt like a axe offhand with Whirl felt more comfortable for me. So i used a bow and forget about bleeding. How is bleeding towards mobs? Cause as you can see, I'm PvE > PvP person lol.

bleeding is a form of damage over time which stacks in terms of damage...
after 4sec, 1 stack will drop till there is no more bleed...

it is different from burn as burn stack in duration since u play guardian u should be familar wit burn =)
generally in PvP, bleed is better than burn due to the higher initial damage (ranger if u spec right can stack 20bleed within 2 second ^.^)
*
Yeah, I know about the conditions and what they stack; intensity or duration. I was asking whether valho was using bleed on mobs and how was it. If you read, I definitely agree that bleed is better in PvP but I'm more of a PvE guy so.

Anyway thanks for the insights. biggrin.gif

Rifle skill 1 for warrior is a bleed, so pretty much every time skill 1 is use, you are stacking bleed smile.gif

Opps click submit too fast, for me yeah rifle works well during PVE, I saw I was actually doing decent damage on a troll champion during one of the event. Against normal mob is no problem, against veteran just need to move and dodge and keep them away from you.

Alright, I'll build a bleeding warrior should i find the time. For now. GUARDIANNNNNNN biggrin.gif

Added on July 31, 2012, 8:40 amjust curious, how do you guys level up all the way to 20's? i just spent limited time in BWE3,i faced a situation that i've cleared the "heart" and nearby events and didn't know where to go next. did you have that issue?
*
Beside what others said, talk to all NPCs to trigger dynamic events. Since NPCs dont have ! or ? on top of their head, talking to them still sometimes gives you dynamic events. a.k.a "Quests".

Other than that, go 100% on all starting areas (1-15/17). You'll be TOO high level for lv15-25 area then. Mine everything, craft, and finish story. See? 0 grinding. biggrin.gif

I think most of them (not all) now have an yellow/orange colour "orb" on top of their head, talk to him/her to trigger meta events (chained events).

Really? Didn't catch that. I've only read about it on reddit ppl asking why is it so hard to level and why so boring at lv15-20. I felt the same back then. Searched a little, read everything they have to provide and this is one of the answer. So if there's still orange indication it's not bad, but no more "natural" kind of feeling ad. lol.

P/S: nice siggy.

EDIT: oh and there is client update.

A DE should lead to Heart and chain one or 2 DEs that leads to next heart. Just that sometimes we missed the chained DEs and end up "walking" to do the next heart. I always stay around. But what I read before was, talk to every NPC. they could give DEs that dont chain. I guess. I dont know really.

Not worth it. Spend the money on Gems and get char slot or bag slots or more bank space.

$20 can get minipet Packs and the elite skill is useless, just aesthetics. Seriously read the link I give. Don't be lazy.

Just to clarify, what valho said is the thing you'll get. What I said is what $20 can get you more worthy stuff. Also, $20 is 2 char slots. Imagine.

First off, banks and backpack slots! Always the worthy investment for MMOs I feel.
