You are awesome for sharing this, Orion. I plan to participate in this one, just to get a small little fix before the big thing finally comes. I'm so excited for the 25th I'm about to burst.

I was hoping for another. I have other things I need to try out before it comes out.

Yes! I'll finally be able to play for a good chunk of time! Only about an hour and a half, but still. I've only played 20 minutes so far. This is going to make work seem so loooong, not to mention knowing that it's going on for 2 hours while I'm still at work. Oh well, the wait will be worth it!

Aww, it's over. We had a teary goodbye, GW2 and I. I won't see her until the 25th of August.
I had a really good time in this stress test. I got to test out the asura and sylvari mesmer and come to the conclusion that i would love to be a sylvari mesmer as a main. I played a thief for the first time and determined that a dual-pistol-wielding human thief will probably be my first alt. I also discovered that this game is way too good. Seriously, I even had a blast doing events that I had already completed in the BWEs. It's still just as fun as it was back then, if not MORE fun. How is that possible?

Advanced mouse technology. You see, ANet has obviously found a way to digitally secrete dopamine through the mouse buttons. Your body unknowingly absorbs this chemical and you have the sense of enjoyment while repeating the same quest over and over. Or they could be utilizing subliminal messaging. Like when you complete a dynamic event, and the reward medal appears, a short, pleasant message hidden within could be flashed before you could process the event. Chances are most likely, however, that the game is actually that much fun and I'm just talking out of my ass.

I'm usually not one for the classes that are right up in battle but I decided to try out the warrior and guardian. They were both a lot of fun to play as. I wish it was longer than four hours so I would have time to level them up and see more of their skills.

I played for an hour and a half testing out different races/classes but it felt like I only played for 15 minutes! I only got a slight taste of the thief, elementalist, ranger, and guardian. Unfortunately I didn't get enough time on any of them. Quite sad. I guess I'll have to wait until launch and then I'll get to test out more. Just wish I didn't have to pay for more character slots.
Also, being the first time I played, I was kind of disoriented and didn't really know what to do, so I mostly just killed stuff.
