    Beta for pre-purchasers won't be until the end of April.

    In the past couple weeks I've cleared the cobwebs off my GW account, finished leveling my elementalist to 20, and have been working on HoM points.

    I haven't gotten many yet. I've only gotten 3 points beyond the 3 you automatically get for linking your account. But I think I should at least get close to 30/50, which gives you all the equipment and vanity items. (Beyond 30/50, you just get a title for every 5 points.)

    If anyone is playing GW on here, I'm usually on my elementalist Simucat Shan. I also started a Pre-Searing Ascalon ranger, Dorian Mauve, for both the Legendary Defender of Ascalon title as well as the point for having any level 20 ranger pet. I'm in a good guild in a good alliance (ally usually owns one of the Kurzick outposts I believe), so if you'd like I could vouch for your admission.



    PS Oh, by the way: if you have a @plaync or @ncsoft Guild Wars account like I do, here's the deal. ArenaNet sort of screwed the pooch with this. When it asks for the email address associated with your GW account when registering GW2, IF you have one of these NCSoft-linked accounts, it actually expects (your NCsoft master account name)@ncsoft OR @plaync.

    BUT... if you use that, the automated registration process will try to send a confirmation email to your @ncsoft/@plaync account, which of course fails since these are not actual email addresses.

    So you can do one of two things. Either:

    1) Use your @plaync/@ncsoft account name now, and hope that ArenaNet straightens things out and sends your beta invite before beta weekend this month, or

    2) Make a new account, which supposedly you'll be able to link later to your GW account.

    What I did was just make a new account using my email address. Though for now it's not linked to my HoM achievements, an ArenaNet support person told me that later on we should be able to link it to our GW accounts.

    At least this way I should be able to get into the beta later this month without having to worry.

    I hoping for a April 20th beta cause the 27th weekend is the anniversary event in GW1. Also, I don't have EoTN so I don't think I can get HoM, otherwise I'd try.

    EDIT: Also, welcome back.

    Holy crap, really?

    It's only $20. If you're a long time player you probably have a ton of HoM points.

    Also GW:EN content itself is pretty good.

    I'm not paying 20 bucks for something that probably won't come in handy for very long in the game. Just paid for this game and I got Max Payne 3 coming up and Diablo 3. If I already had the EoTN expansion I'd probably be trying to go for 50/50, it's just not worth money atm. 2012 is cutting into my gaming budget. My old account would probably have a ton of points, but I gave it to a friend who I no longer have contact with and I just bought this complete set(excluding EoTN) during the Christmas Steam Sale.

    There was a stress test beta and someone got to play it...I'm sure he thought it was awesome and now will go into withdrawal because it just ended. Hmmm.

    Yeah I see your point. But I'm the kind of person that couldn't live without most of these bonuses.

    And it gives me a tangible goal to work towards while I'm waiting for GW2.

    I already bought the GW trilogy on a steep discount a while ago, along with GW:EN, so I didn't have to purchase anything more to work towards HoM points.

    Ugh that means I'll have to take my PC with me when I visit my parents for the post-tax season weekend. Oh well my system's trasportable enough.

    I still haven't got an email about beta testing, and some people have already pre-downloaded the beta client. I'm getting somewhat worried, and I hope that ANet gets their act together with the beta forums and how to handle @plaync and @ncsoft accounts.

    The BWE client hasn't gone out, it's not the same one I or anyone else has. If the beta is next weekend, expect an email between monday and wednesday.

    Obviously, the BWE is not this weekend but rather the last weekend in April.

    On the one hand I won't have to drag my PC to my parents'.

    On the other hand I WANT TO PLAY NAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!

    Oh yeah.

    GW is a strange game, sort of somewhere between an MMO and medium-sized group multiplayer game. GW2 is going to be a lot more accessible, as it's an actual MMO with a persistent world, outside of instanced group content. Some other weird GW aspects, like its "crafting" system, are going to be made much closer to those of other MMO's, but altered in such a way to take away many of their negative aspects that tend to make MMOs monotonous.

    I'll definitely be posting what server I'll be playing on and my account name on friday.

    List of server names.

    I'm thinking I'm gonna choose Darkhaven server if it isn't or even high(too many people=bad framerate).

    Fuck me. This game's amazing.

    Also I was unluicky on my norn mesmer (I guess), and on my way to level 5 I only had drop two swords, a torch, and a focus. No greatsword or scepter.

    But still, I feel like I can do so much more on my elementalist. Its versatility is amazing, and its support is remarkable too. So thus far I think my suspicions about the elementalist were right, though maybe the mesmer will feel better once I've had more experience with it and once it gets two weapon sets and more utility skills.

    Depends on your definition of "easy." But no, it's not a walk in the park from the get-go. However, I've heard thieves have it harder than others might at first.

    MY GOD, though... elementalists just seem to have it all. I don't know if it's just because we're early in the game or what. In PvP, I just KICKED ass as a staff elementalist.

    I guess as people in PvP get better, they'll be more aware of how to react. But elememtalists just seem to have an answer for everything. And... Mist Form is incredible survival and mobility, plus Tornado just absolutely destroys whatever plans enemies might have had for you.


    Oh and incidentally, the PvP autobalancing system needs work. I was going to be 5/5 (or 6/6 lost track) of PvP matches for today, but in the last one, the auto-balancing system forced me to switch teams when we were 400+ vs. around 250, with something like 3 of the points capped. So essentially, I lost that match against myself. That was a little annoying.

    Made a guardian, thieves are just hard, it's too bad. Got my thief to 15 and now I'm not really interested in playing him cause he was so squishy.

    Now that I learned how to properly play the thief and properly keep him geared(very important), I have to say that he rapes. By stacking precision I now have 51% crit chance with bonus crit dmg. Mobs still do too much dmg themselves though, if one pulls a special ability, I'm down half health.

    What level's your thief?

    I think I've settled on the two classes I favor the most: the engineer and the elementalist. They both rely on massive numbers of ability sets accessible to them by switching out attunements or kits, and I've found I favor this quite a bit.

    I was disappointed with the mesmer, which was the class I wanted to play before the weekend. They feel clumsy, and to me their abilities don't seem to be enough, either in variety or power I'm not sure which.

    The elementalist still seems ridiculously overloaded with potential that I'm not sure other classes can quite match. Their abilities are all so powerful and so varied that some of them just don't seem necessary.

    For instance, why should the elementalist of all classes have access to an instant rez, well actually effectively FOUR instant revive that share a CD (specific effect depends on attunement)? By comparison the guardian has a signet that can revive an ally, but it's on a MUCH longer CD (240s vs. 165s), and the elementalist's instant revive does more than just revive a single player, for instance revives a ally to full health (water), up to THREE allies (earth), etc. Yes, on the other hand, the guardian's signet passively increases healing when not on CD, but that's just not enough to justify the imbalance in the revival effects.

    And then the mesmer has a comparative joke of an ability, Illusion of Life, which only gives an ally 15s of revival, during which they must rally or be returned to the downed state. Yes, in some situations I could see how thiis might be somewhat more useful. But aside from its very sittuational advantage, the only other upshot to it is that it has a 30 s lower CD than the elemnetalist's revival glyph. But I don't think any of this makes up for the fact that it is not a hard, instant revival. It's simply an inferior ability.

    I'm almost angry at ArenaNet for allowing this to happen, seemingly pouring an incredible amount of power and diversity into this one class--probably the first designed--and then making other classes more circumscribed in their abilities and power. And I say this as someone who loves playing an elementalist...

    My thief is almost 25, if ele is that overpowered, it will get nerfed. They need to scale almost everything down though, rough being a melee.
