Anyone else just get booted? I have been playing fine all day, but just got knocked out of the game. Trying to log back in but I'm getting a message about internet connection or firewall settings.
Edit: nvm common issues it seems

Like I said, I only played 30 minutes or so and it seemed extremely story focused.
What's up with MMORPGs lately starting players out in some epic sequence where everything all chaos and explosions? I hate that shit. I'd much rather be slowly introduced into the world.
Anyway, I'll definitely try just exploring the next time I log in. I may even start a different class and race. I don't think the Mesmer was what I was expecting.
I'll definitely check that out!

Same.
Playing an Asura in the Norn area is the best thing ever. You're sooooo small. I love it.
quick question, do all starter zones have weapon vendor sellers? Ive been looking around in the norn area and I cant seem to find a weapon merchant. Would be helpful since I found out that I really do not like axes 
Wanna try out the other ranger weapons before i decide whether i like the class or not
My impression that it isnt really all that story focused at all. You can make it if you want it that way by plowing though your personal story, but there is plenty of content simply from walking around, exploring, doing DEs to completely avoid it if you want

Anybody else get kicked off Gates just now? As soon as I walked into Hoelbrak I got booted and it says it can't contact the login server.
Yep, login is all messed up.

Yeah, I've been looking for a weapon vendor in the Asura starter zone so i can try out different weapon skills.

Well least it's not on my end. Hell of a downer tho, got home after working all day, made it through one reknown heart, went to Hoelbrak and just GRRRNNNNNNGGGGGGG logout.
Games running at a solid 50-60fps with v-sync on and medium/high settings tho, that's nice.

yeah the mace is bad. Greatsword or hammer is the only way to roll. Everything else just doesn't measure up.
I'm pretty much lost as to what class I want to roll come launch. I love nearly every profession but then the little animation details push me away.
It also seems like I'm leveling too slowly. I've done all of the heart quests and usually stayed for the next event, but my highest level is still only an 8. What am I doing wrong?

>.< all 4 maps of WvW are full and need to queue
One guy at my internship was a little interested about Guild Wars 2, so I told him how to get 20% off on Green Man Gaming to buy it. He tried the beta, and now he's whining on facebook that the game is awful and he didn't have fun for a second.
I feel kinda bad. Should I GAF? I hope I don't feel the same way once I play.

He has bad opinions. Don't feel bad. Why didn't you recommend amazon instead? It's the one preorder with zero strings attached.
I'm in Canada, I didn't know you could use a fake address at that time.
EDIT: Woops, seems that Canada had the pre-order code too. He wouldn't have saved 20% though.

Not at all. You said the guy expressed interest. You just directed him to a cheaper way to acquire it.

Well, the game is awesome. Played for a bit tonight on a Charr character, couldn't get into the little guys and the Sylvari is probably going to be my main ... but man, Charr is pretty awesome too, I have a bit to decide.
Not sure how much more I want to play and ruin the story stuff though. WvW I could get into when I was on Henge but it was just a bloodbath of AoE towards the 8 of us fighting. Once I got onto Gate I couldn't even que ... so I'm thinking a middle ranged server might be best instead of one that has 'known' people going to it.
Either way, this BWE was 10x better than the last 2 for me. 1st was fun no doubt with some issues, BWE2 couldn't even get in to WvW at all and was booted constantly with terrible performance.
This round was pretty smooth with a lower midrange PC and in instances in stuff turned it up and looked awesome.

I don't think I killed a single person in PvP as ranger with a longbow/shortbow. I just get mowed over. As a thief I wreck.. but ranger... ugh and the pet management blows. Least they actually listen... but they don't have a leash so they'll follow a fow to the ends of the earth. I want to like ranger, but pet classes.. ugh.
The hearts aren't the only quests, stuff just pops up in the areas.

Too to much to do still, not enough time to play =(
Elementalist and Warrior feel simple enough. All of the classes have some sort of hidden depth tho. You should be trying different activities, like exploration challenges and visiting new areas (even lower level stuff that you might have missed, it scales you back and you are still getting rewarded). Try WvW too if you can. Pretty easy to gain levels there.

If you ever find a moment when you aren't leveled enough in a PVE sense, head to the portals and try out the different racial areas.

How the fuck do you pvp? I pick world vs world at the top, everything is always fucking full and askes me to queue, i pick yes but no icon or confirmation pops up, 5 hours later im still not in any pvp.
You pvp by talking to an npc. You WvWvW by going through the gate... even with queues 5 hours sounds like something fucked up.
People are sounding pretty unhappy with the Mesmer class. Of course, people are going to complain, but I think its valid to say that the class has gotten progressively worse with each BWE.
They have made confusion matter, but that is hurt by scepter's poor design. The clones doing 0 damage has made certain clones inferior to others. Clones STILL replace phantasms and that's a huge issue they haven't even responded to.
The shatter mechanic is still one of the weakest class mechanics in game. I don't know if it will ever not be a shackle upon the class as long as its tied to pathfinding. Clones as resource/combo points sucks because other players can easily erase what you've built up. It's like a crappy adrenaline bar.
And the other factor is that the more people play, the better they have gotten at telling who the real Mesmer is. Players are probably feeling weaker because the deception factor is fading away.

Was pretty let down with Asura starting area. I do like the asura, they feel fast, and dodging animation is sweet. Jumping with them felt a little too floaty though.
Male Sylvari shooting animation for engineer felt really weird. Wonder what female sylvari is like.
Unfortunatly none of the races jumped out at me that I want to play with as my main.
2 more days to find my main character... Must find a main!

Is the only ranged option still a cone attack that you can't really aim or use to attack enemies in a different elevation?
Where are the portals? That's what I think I need.
Press H > go to the last icon (PvP) >Go to the Mists > Go to Lion Archs > Search the Asura Gates at the nort where you will appear > Choosea City > Go to the Low Lvl Zone.

A passionate embrace, a beautiful memory lingers.
Both as guardian and thief as melee with range secondary, and I have absolutely no problems trashing people with either, so long as I have the right utility options.

I started over as a Norn Guardian and I'm having a lot more fun. I guess I just didn't like the Mesmer or Human starting area or something. This Norn area is much more pleasant and relaxed. I'm rather enjoying the game now the more I learn about it the more I like.
I think I'll definitely pick it up before or around launch. Gotta love that lack of subscription without being a nickle and diming f2p game.

Once you get over the main mountain pass in the Norn area, things get from "oo this is pretty cool" to "yeah, I want to spend the rest of my life here"
Something about it.
