Guild Wars 2 Launch Date announced: August 28th, 2012

So you're not going to WvWvW?
Your initial comment made no reference to WvWvW - I found it to be a broad generalizaton and a jab at those using a controller so I responded with a generalization. If you were expecting more perhaps you should have posted clarifications. I can't read minds as I implied ANet was reading mine. Connect the dots from my previous post and draw your own conclusion to how well I believe auto-targeting works with zergs, let alone clicking on the exact person, out of your 50 in a tight group.

In short, if you are looking for specifics of a post - don't start with generalizations.

Edit:
I'm not trying to be a dick, it just sounds like you are in a bad mood or something.

No I'm seriously curious how you guys can function in WvWvW with a controller. PvE i can see, but I'm curious how you fair in PvP settings.
 
Hopefully they do another 4-hour window where I can try it again, but think I'm going with a ranger now. seems pretty powerful.

Sorry for my misunderstanding then. I don't use a controller - I said from a kb/m perspective I do fine without targeting. I should have clarified I'm a Warrior so melee for me.
 
PC crashed while updating.

Repairing data archive popped up and now i gotta redownload the whole game. guess i'm not playing today. 8(
 
Playing with that "complex" controller setup. Seems to have most of the important stuff except...how do I initiate an attack without using a skill?
 
Does the UI resize option work for anyone? It doesn't do anything for me.

Nope,never worked for me and still doesn't...

Wait so Beta is up right now. >.>

Just a 4 hour stress test...it's working fine now for me,still loving my Mesmer...I have an Asura also but I am stuck on a my story quest puzzle so I switched back to my Sylvari Mesmer...I think I will roll this and an Engineer at launch.
 
Yeah I've found that out, outside of a mouse click on an enemy. Starting a battle with a skill seems good enough.
You'll notice arrows encircling the 1 skill. Ctrl right click to assign "auto" to any skill and it will repeatedly use that ability when off cooldown. Probably best used for 1 so you don't repeatedly mash.
 
Playing with Welltall's simple controller set up and really liking it except for the camera control. You don't have the speed of moving the camera around like a mouse. Is there any way to remedy this or am I missing something?
 
Decided to try out ranger and it's a neat class like hunter in WoW I guess but the pet dies too easily it seems...kinda worthless tbh

Being liberal with the health button is useful since the initial spell only has a 20sec cooldown, but the aim of the Ranger is to cycle your pets with a little more management than is usual for these classes in MMOs.
 
Okay. Not exactly sure what is happening, but entering WvW turns the game into a slideshow for me - whereas before it was running well at Medium settings. Now I've turned down everything to the lowest possible and it's barely moving.

I'm hoping that's due to hijinx in the background and not something that they've changed that will make the game unplayable for me.
 
Well, was fun. Checked out my asura character and did a lot of sPvP. helped me get used to the controlls a bit more. Still havent committed everything to muscle memory, but i mostly leveled during the BWE so hopefully ill get there eventually

Nice. Glad I got to check out the performance and a couple race/class stuff for myself very briefly before we get started at launch. I'm definitely going to be going Charr Engineer for my first character now.

I was going to do that, but switched over to the asura. Their medium armor simply looks a lot better to me. Charr medium armor just seems, odd...
 
Well difficulty is very much back to BWE2 levels, I never got hit that hard in Metrica Province during BWE3. Can't herp derp your way through the starting zone anymore.

Now we wait... :-(
 
Was able to visit Skrittsburgh. Pretty cool little system they have for it. Sort of a preview of things to come later on?

Basically Skrittsburgh has:

-A Skritt King
-Full of buried junk from different races
-Vendors, crafting stations, merchants and special Shinies Merchants. A small city with city amenities.
-Different parts with hearts in a couple of places.
-Exists within a Dynamic Event cycle

The last bit means, if the city gets attacked and isn't defended, then they close the doors to outsiders. If the King dies, they kick out all foriegners inside. You then have to wait for them to elect a new Skritt King and do some dynamic events in the outside boroughs to gain their trust. This means two or three different dynamic events. Once these are cleared, along with all their stages, then the Skritt open up the city again. Eventually, the King and the city will be attacked again. This can be by human bandits, destroyers, the Nightmare Court or the Inquest.

Before it became unplayable, I noticed the difficulty had gone back up too.
