If you want something very hard to watch, go to the Giant Bomb Quick Look:

I can't really blame him. 99% of MMOs you just sit and trade blows with enemies and this game doesn't teach you about the dodge function very well.

I've tried a couple times. Both times I didn't have anything. I have no idea how it works I guess.
You have to use components, not raw mats. Basically, whatever you make in discovery must be a finished piece, not just a component.
So, if you're jewelcrafting, you have to make settings, hooks and rings with copper before you can use discovery.

I don't think I can watch. Sounds painful.
The game needs to start with the player training for combat with an NPC before you hit the starter zone. Put them in a dojo or boot camp, or something.
I don't dodge at all really. The only times I have is in PvP if a circle forms under me so I can roll out of it quickly. I haven't found enemies in PvE I can make use of the mechanic for. :/

Such a depressing quick look. Alot of "MMO Ass MMO" and general apathy towards the game.
Every enemy. Look at their animations. For instance, dredge guys will rear back and cast a shockwave looking tunnelling attack, you can dodge it (from melee by reacting very fast, from ranged by physically dodging it before it gets to you). There are small tells for all but the most basic attacks.

my cake, fuck off
There have been 6 attempts today to reset my password. If I just leave it alone, should I be ok?
My Asura necro was only able to do 2 dodges before he was out of the energy to do anymore. Is that typical?

Yup that's by design, everyone can only dodge twice back to back before having to wait (hence why the energy bar is split into 2 sections)

O god those comments make me want to just skip the video :/ If I recall correctly, Jeff disliked the BWE as well and shat on it then too, seems like hes done with MMOs in general
I haven't watched it yet (and maybe I won't at this point), but that does indeed sound depressing. I had been wondering when Jeff would give the game a second chance after he dismissed the game outright based on 5 minutes of gameplay (though I guess that doesn't even count as giving it a first chance). Even though he did a quick look, it doesn't sound like he had any intention of figuring out what the game is about. What a shame.

Yeah. They said not to click the links in there or anything, just delete the email.
I've also had an attempt to reset my password.
If you get the email saying that someone is trying to reset your password, ignore the email and don't change it. If you think your password IS too easy to guess, change it to something even harder to hack.
Also, I'll be online today if anyone wants invites. I don't think they're working very well right now, but I'll try to get people in as I can.
I REPEAT. IF YOU ARE IN THE SPREADSHEET, MESSAGE ME AND I'LL GET YOU IN. PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT CAN MESSAGE AS WELL.

I sat down and wrote out the effects of all of my weapon abilities, and whether they started a combo or finished one, and I've got the sheet sitting next to me as I play. It's much easier to keep track of everything this way, sheesh. I'm sure I'll get used to it all eventually, but it really was difficult to remember which weapon had what before.

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
Seriously there are a lot more positives than negatives. That post of yours gives it an undeserved slant that there are more things wrong with the game than right.

I got worried about everyone talking about getting password reset emails while I was at work so I went on my phone and tried to change mine. Turns out that the reset didn't take and now I can't even log on with my old or new password. Not quite sure what to do for a speedy response because all they have is a ticket service online. Probably won't be able to make it on tonight because of this.
That'll change really soon.

Even with dodging, it only comes in to play a little. Majority of combat still is standing around trading blows. Majority of enemies never require dodging to defeat, so game does poor job of teaching ppl since its not essential to use outside of some bosses and pvp
This is not an action mmo like terra

somebody must have sent me an invite when i was offline because there was a pop-up waiting for me this morning. It worked too.
Honestly I think you are trying to act like your avatar sometimes
Good deal on the fixes, but I know ArenaNet is working on it hard. These are things that only can come up with the massive amount of people playing, and they were ready for it.
Not needed cause the enemies aren't scaled that hard... helpful yes. Fuck ever have those scorpians apply poison to you? Much rather dodge that crap instead of sitting there dying for 15 seconds after I've killed the thing.

I got your name off the spreadsheet, but it keeps telling me that you don't exist in game.
EDIT: Never mind, noticed the OP updated with your character name and that worked. Your User ID is wrong on the roster document though.
I'm typing up the post now. I don't think it really deserves a new thread here, but we do have our ControllerGAF thread on gafguild.com. Definitely come and share your experiences!

Can you still change your password for GW2 in GW1? since they both share the same system...
The problem is basing proper pve play on this mechanic. Enemy ground effects/animations can be nearly indistinguishable even in 5 man dungeon situations and the reaction time leeway for melee is very unforgiving.
They really need to go back and touch up the particle effects/animations to make things more noticeable in messy situations. The pve game as a whole is very very pug unfriendly as random groups just don't have the ability to stick to a plan/move in tandem. This makes pug pve groups a chaotic mess and the free corpse running eliminates an incentive to develop a workable strategy.
There is a lot I really enjoy about GW2 but eliminating the holy trinity is
problematic when you don't have some structure in place for people to work around. There are also plenty of enemies who hit extremely hard with completely untelegraphed attacks;it is very much a kiting and ranged character oriented pve game. Fortunately I'm a Guardian and have a lot of tools to mitigate these issues... my dagger/dagger elementalist was not so lucky.
Looks like the trading post is back up, somewhat. I can see people's items for sale but can't seem to sell mine.
Seems like it's "up" in that the interface is up, but it doesn't really seem to be working very well. I can't get any results for searches at all.

Could you go into a little more detail? Do you just use materials and such? Or do you have to craft items like Hilt or Blade for example and use those in conjunction with other stuff? Or is it anything goes?
EDIT: Nvm, see you answered it a bit down. Man, crafting is a bitch, might ignore it altogether lol

One of the officers listed in the OP. Maxrpg just posted offering up his services, so I'd go with him.

I was confused too. there's no place to enter your code on your account page.
but you can do that here https://register.guildwars2.com/ here's a video explaining it. the numbers

/w maxrpg ingame says invalid email address. odd...
I think the the combat is effective in creating an interesting PvP game with WvWvW and the scenarios. I agree though that the PvE is really lacking.
The PvE game feels like Warhammer public quests with random special events (that are basically more public quests) thrown in the mix at times.

I added his character name from OP and it worked (Ashodin Venteal).
Go to the Gem Store and redeem the code there.
I don't remember seeing it posted here, but it was mentioned in the guild chat that some people's accounts are getting hacked because of a Java exploit. Decided to post it here since some people aren't in the guild yet. There is also this thread on Reddit talking about it.
YES! Thank you!!!
Why don't you just change it on ArenaNet's official website?
Yeah, looks like my bank is going to stay full for a little longer.

Holy shit. The Quick Look comments section is BLOWING UP.
THIS I didn't know.
Rest assured, ArenaNet is working on it. We even have two of their employees in our guild.
