WTF? Is this heaven?

oh. my. god.
Each dungeon is supposed to have a unique-looking set for each armor type (light, Medium and Heavy), built around the theme of that dungeon. Dunno about PVP armor sets but I'd be willing to bet there's a substantial amount of unique stuff in there too.
I think you went from junior member to member in this thread alone!

I'm praying the same is for PvP. The minute I can, I'm zoning into WvW and not stepping out until level 80 (and not even sure I will then....PvP titles etc)
Ya know, you are making it quite hard for me to just gloss over this post.
Not much left after kit choice. But no tool kit means weakness in turrets.
Sadly this doesn't save your build correctly. But it's still the best we got.

I actually wasn't thinking of anyone specifically, if you think I was talking about you. I actually mentioned to Ferny the other day that if you hadn't been asked to be an officer in GAFGuild, you should be; we may not agree on everything about the game so far, but it's clear you know your stuff and are passionate about it. Besides, until all the facts are in (and even then, until we actually get to play it), how GW2 shakes out is anyone's guess. I hope it's better than everyone expects.
The theme of this thread so far has been "I think A" / "No, I think B" / "Alright, we'll just have to wait."
On that note, thanks to everyone for keeping it respectful when disagreements and such have come up during the course of spiraling into the vortex of hype. It's been really civil thus far, which bodes well for everyone getting along in GAFGuild.
*that*, is not possible
quite looking forward to the beta impressions. there's still way too much gushing and re-spewing phrases that sound like they came from anet blog posts (which i love, but still...)
i want to hear some good stories about improvisational combat strategies and the emergent gameplay that comes from all these piece parts that they're letting you play with in collaboration with a pile of other folk.
Each dungeon has a unique weapon and armor set in them and for those pvp armors there's 32 unique sets per armor weight class.

Funny you mention it, I didn't really notice. yay for member status.
is this true?
Morr like "is this real life?" Ahh damn swype!
Yep.
I also forgot to mention there's over 60 Ranger pets and 50 creature codex books to collect too.
Lol. We have like 7 or 8 rolling Guardian so far right? Make that shit a unit in WvW.
I will give you my £30 now. NAY £40 if someone lets me in the beta. Hell even sexual favours aren't off the table.

Elementalist looks like your standard dd class, i can already see them used as nukers at WvWvsW sieges and in instances/pve groups.
Bit disappointed but i'm still preparing to roll thief. Can't let those soloers get away.

thank you Burton. this type of team would probably be more valuable than any other offensive strategy.
I have to say that's the first time I've ever seen anyone say that about this game.
Compared to what??
Yeah, no class in the game is "just DD", every class is built for control and support as well as damage. People really need to look beyond DAMAGE DAMAGE DAMAGE and focus on what you can do to keep you and your allies alive, not just how much damage you can throw out at any given second.

Stop making sense!
I... um... er....
No; only certain 'fields' can be combined with certain finishers, unless the Wiki is terribly outdated (which is possible); http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Cross-profession_combo
Elementalists look more like a "Jack of all Trades" kinda class so far, with lots and lots of stuff they can throw at you, a lot of support and control stuff, but nothing so defined as the other classes. They, more than any other class (in my opinion) have more to juggle; 4 elements to shift in and out of at any given moment. Eles are gonna have to really work at their craft and know what Element to bring out and when. It's not gonna be a case like WoW where you just spam AOEs on the bridge until you're out of mana.

I can't think of a single RPG, whether it be offline or online that has more interesting ability design than guild wars 2. In fact, I'm worried they might have over done it in some cases.
Here's how I think the combo system works:
Say you have a Dark field
Any Leap finisher through it will do A
Any Blast finisher through it will do B
Any Whirl finisher through it will do C
Any melee attack through it will throw out Dark damage/effects
Any projectile attack through it will shoot Dark damage/effects
We don't have that many details on how combos work other than the blog ANet put out, they said they want us to find them for ourselves and the press is no help seeing as they can't even dodge to save their lives.
This is the last thing I thought anyone would ever complain about. I literally cannot think of any other RPG - MMO or otherwise - that has so many skills that look interesting and seem unique in a very crowded genre.
