i liked the beta a lot, did a ton of pvp and at the end a bit of leveling.
there are a lot of skills and builds to do when you consider the fact that theres not only the utility skills and ultimate, but theres also different weapon sets to use that give different skill sets

but the game, in terms of pvp, is too revolved around comboing in my opinion. ran around with an elementalist, and once i figured out a full combo i could just jump on people and kill them while constantly blinding them. they just died, really fast.
interrupting heals or specific skills isnt something you can do very easily, because the cast times are too fast, and it doesnt pay off enough to interrupt them.

the idea of mesmer trying to "confuse the enemy" doesnt work out the way its suppose to. illusions are everywhere, yet you can spot the real mesmer so easily. even if you arent tricked, mesmers hurt and control the fight too much for it to matter.

leveling was fun, but the same events repeat too much, and some of the harder events (like the underground group bosses ivor trueshot and the other guy) dont give much of a better reward.

i hope they end up fixing this stuff, because i see a lot of potential in the game and even with those problems, i enjoyed it very much.

Dual dagger Water ele + any melee = roflstomp

Main attack is an aoe boomerang effect that stacks Vulnerability and hits multiple foes. Couple that with any type of physical damage and you're down really quick

also that build can heal the melee with a breath attack that also damages the foe. Beyond that I didn't see myself use any other skills. I tore shit apart.

they won't release it for atleast two months.
And I hope they don't. Too many games have been released lately too early in development.
The game won't lose hype as its one of the only worthwhile titles this year.
Its only real competition was d3 and tera(not that much) and both are pretty floppish in terms of satisfied customers.
I guess you have some near the very end of the year but it won't get that far.
Plus most-anyone hyped about it already prepurchased it lol.
I would count wow if mists is being released this year, but no one who is sane still plays it. Not because its bad or anything, its just old news. VERY old.


Tera has no competition because that game is dead. lol

GW2 needs a ton of work.

There is a reason I can't bring myself to log on GW2 beta and would rather grind gear in D3.

Also when I did put some time into GW2 a lot of times whenever the server would restart for an update - I would just not log back on.

This. I like it when people have there issues about this game and the fact they want to see improvement. But let's be honest, it's a beta, they want you to critisize the game.
ANd I am wondering if you have put your findings about the game on the forum, I played both betas and I felt they are actually listening to the players.

ANd about Overdose and Hydra, you guys are underlining the fact that GW almost demands teamwork. GW is not waiting on pesky 14yo kids that play solo, it's waiting on the players that team up and smash those kids in the face!
