operation CWAL lol, now that brings back old memories

i think i'll buy it after release..survey for latency n server stability..

Thanks for all the feedback given. I think I know which to get

Which is?

In PVE part, is this same as most game where u need ppl to be tanker, dpser, healer?

no dedicated healer/tanker like WoW

The pillars (foundation) of Guild Wars 2 Gameplay

All classes can heal, and all classes have skills that can heal others as well.

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

dayumm.. im slowpoke..
missed the beta.. (already pre-purchased)
hated GW1 lol
but this coming realease gonna be ohsom mang..

i skipped few pages, so how will the server be?
they segregate by regions? EU, US, ASIA, SEA? liddat?

they still have other skills that differentiate them from each other, why would all classes be the same just because they all can heal.

Currently trying The Secret World after giving up D3. Might try GW2 if is as good as the "old" WOW. Hopefully latency is not an issue in GW2. Otherwise, get pwned big time due to bad latency (200-300ms)

huh? what is means tank? heal?

You really need to check a few pages back for all the articles shared. We can't explain everything in 1 post. It will be too massive. But short answer, professions are unique. As for the heal, you can only choose 1 heal skill in your slot 6. I would suggest you start with this one http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Combat right now.


There's US and EU worlds. You are not limited to which world to choose from the first time. You can play in EU if you like

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

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?

US servers. We will be joining Sea of Sorrows. See you in game.

watching the videos of the game features that I've never seen before in my life and saw yogscast on world vs world, I'm SOLD! But that will have to wait for the game to release first.

no such thing in gw2.
you are referring to "the holy trinity" tanker dps healer.
gw2 strives to break that mold.
in gw2, think of it like tf2, with swords and sorcery.

not necessarily.
what good is healing if you are already dead before you can heal?

however, good guardian build means no matter how good your dps is you cannot kill the guardian quickly also.
some dps builds rely on killing their targets quickly. if they fail to kill their target within those few seconds it is over for them.
i.e. glass cannon thief

and it was tested that 2 guardians can take on 5 people. cross reviving one another.
one down, one guardian rushes it, shields push people who are attempting to finish the downed guardian away.
the guardian proceeds to revive the downed guardian.
they try to finish off the downed guardian again.
downed guardian pushes enemies away.
downed guardian is revived and back on his / her feet.
