no guild wars links... no game related list nubbins - just 2 days to get some rest...
- time to relax a little, spend with your family or friends...
- take these 48 hours and work your little hearts out if you need...
- put a freeze on digesting all the gw2 bits and bobs, there will be plenty of guild wars soon!
N.B. Dano (very) likely will not need to do this...  Just a thought |

I have to listen to podcasts since I'm at work. Last night's stress test just made me want to play even more after seeing how smooth it was.

I'll be on C3 tomorrow around 11:30 PM Eastern in preparation for the opening of servers. Hopefully they do open the servers about 3 hours early.

I decided to change my first character's race to Asura, because it's more engineer-y. My first alt will be a Norn ranger. Gotta think of something for the next day or so..

I only participated in the 1st BWE and logged in on the 3rd. I did not want to play too much in beta per my past experience as I don't like doing same stuff over and over. I must admit though that I kind of feel like the kid in Xmas story...come Saturday its BB Gun time!

I consider it one more day at this point. After all, I only need one more full night's sleep before it is GW2 time. My pre-launch is going pretty stressfully, actually. I'm really trying to contemplate if I really want a mesmer main. There are so many incredibly fun classes to play. Am I sure this complex class is the one I want to start with? I may kick it off with an asura elementalist.

Dano, do u think the ele is less complex?
To be able to move between 4 attunements and 5 sub skills is the toughest class to master.
It was between them and a ranger as my first choice, but for some reason A-Net really lowered the damage output of this class across the board. They already have low armor and health which was surprising.
I know they can always fine tune it and I'm still going to play it ( staff for WvW is a no brainier for tons of AOE) but I'll wait and see if they fix it

I know they can always fine tune it and I'm still going to play it ( staff for WvW is a no brainier for tons of AOE) but I'll wait and see if they fix it By 'complexity', what I really mean is 'different-ness'. The mesmer is unlike anything I've played before, having to constantly manage where my clones are at any given time and deciding when to detonate them and how to do so to benefit the team my most is a skill that no other game has ever challenged me with. Elementalist, by contrast, features similar mechanics to other MMOs: It's a traditional spell casting class with the cool mechanic of having to switch between the 4 elements on the fly. Sure, it's technically more complex than the mesmer, but it's not as foreign a playstyle to me. Also, I'm going mesmer, but I've decided to be more alt-heavy in this game. normally I don't touch secondary characters until my first is level capped, but in this game I'm thinking about playing it differently. That'll solve my dillemna, I need to think from the perspective of a casual guild wars two player who wants to have fun playing the game rather than the perspective of my old WoW self (Which was: Pick one class and poewrlevel) But either way, I'll be playing all of the classes eventually. They're all so much fun. I appreciate your input into the situation! |

Gunna play it the same way. No level focus but story focus.
Got my 5 guys ready to go conquer each world.

I'm going Sylvari mesmer to start with, but the guardian is also so fun to me.
Dano, I'm different than you as I've always made a ton of alts. I had to delete characters in WoW often to make new ones because you're only allowed 50 characters per account. In this game I wanted to focus on one character so I could fully flesh them out before deciding what I'm definitely going to go with.
Plus only starting with 5 char slots is a help for that.
