Guild Wars 2?
Guild Wars 2?
Anybody going to play GW2? I haven't tried any of their beta weekends, but it seems it may not be that bad.

Well, I created a toon on Dragonbrand - guardian Shylo Vitari.
Didn't do much pvp yet, though I could - you auto-level to 80 in pvp zones and have all skills.
But I wanted to get better feel for combat in a more controlled way, so went to pve first.
I have to say in 'boss' fights (dynamic event for large number of people) melee classes are gimped as hell, ranged classes seem to be MUCH easier to play - at least my guardian was dead most of the time i tried to get any close
Also, just in case we ever get a guild running, I reserved a guild name 'Wild Runners', with a guild tag [Wild], while it was available - whoever from the clan feels like playing and leading the guild - let me know, I will assign the guild leader role to you.

I have made a few characters while I decide what I like:
Bozarth - Norn Thief
Brigitte Firehair - Sylvari Necromancer
Dagda Dman - Human Guardian

I think I'm liking the Guardian the best, but I die most often with it. Although the human starting area seems to ramp up in level faster than the others.

Troggs - do we want to move servers while it is still free? I have a friend on Henge of Denravi if we want to up our numbers
. If you don't get this here I'll touch base with you in game tonight.
For anyone reading this... it's a fun game, I haven't tried the PvP yet but loving the world and the system.

Excellent. I'll do my move tonight. Henge of Denravi - my friend Chris is playing a level 21 engineer, not sure on character name at the moment.
And I just realized your character's name is from the Joe Abercrombie series, is it not? I think Shylo was one of my favorite 'non-main' characters. She's also in one of the recent sequels...

Haha - of course! I also have Nicomo Cosca and Castor Morveer toons, which are level 1, just holding the names.Dagda wrote: And I just realized your character's name is from the Joe Abercrombie series, is it not?

Logen Ninefingers, Caul Shivers and Monza Murcatto were already taken

I think you just do it on the character select page, there is a world selection on the bottom left I think. I'll get more details when I get home from work, but it seemed pretty straightforward when I looked at it earlier. From what I understand moving servers is currently free but you can only move every 7 days. There is a 'guest' option to go into a world and play there first as well - not sure how that works.troggs wrote:Speaking of which, how do you switch servers?
Thanks. I will move my toons when I am back from the office this evening to Henge of Denravi.Dagda wrote:I think you just do it on the character select page, there is a world selection on the bottom left I think.
