Your First Character?

[thegudge]

Sounds like a great plan, Jade! If your boyfriend doesn't paly GW2 with you, give him a detention!

I tried the ranger and loved it, but I'm gonna start off with the engineer. Of course I always end up with a lot of alts. I haven't tried the thief, looks like another alt opportunity!

[morgwath]

I like alts too, the only problem is that there are fewer character slots than professions. I think you should at least get the same number of slots, if not a couple more. Of course that's one thing they will probably sell. And once my slots are full that is one thing i might actually pay for.

[topix]

First thing Im going to do once im in game is spend my gems and unlock all the inventory slots and bank slots. Since Ill be collecting and keeping all ingredents for all the crafting skills. Since at some point i will have them all maxed. Though I might sell some too since gold seems to be hard to come buy which I like.

Id also be making loads of bags so I can throw some into the Guild Bank for everyone to use.

[Bishop96]

I think you get bank / collection slots based on character slots, so it may be smarter to max out character slots with gems first.

I was really leaning towards the warrior because of the insane choice of weapons, but after taking a look at a few elementalist videos and playing it for a bit on the stress test yesterday, I'm def hooked.
80 spells weren't enought so they let your congure up another 4 weapons for another 20 spells and u can summon a few sidekicks just for kicks. I think it's gunna be a hard class to master but at least I won't get bored figuring it out.
As far as race, I seem to be in the minority but I like the charr.

C'mon aug 25th, even thou we will probably cursing until the 26th after they repair the servers that crashed 40 times LOL

[jade]

sigh - every time i think i know what i will play as my main...i see something cool and change my mind....that thief is looking better every day!

especially when i hear people saying its under powered - i like the challenge of making it badass

[Zypher Wynn]

I never found the thief class underpowered. I found it to be a fun class to play. Reminds me some of the assassin from Factions.

[jade]

i had a fantastic burg in lotro - loved it! people used to complain i was OP cause of some of the stuff we used to do with it. I like the thief -type classes cause they usually take skill to get the best out of them

[griffy]

I can't decide between a charr ranger or charr engineer as my main. rangers have pets and engineers have turrets, both are so cool! I'm leaning towards the ranger though since they deal greater direct damage with their long bows.

[akires]

I already know I will have many characters. Depending on how much they cost I'll probably end up buying character slots. Right now I'm leaning toward Sylvari Thief. The Sylvari are very interesting to me. Honestly all of the other classes look cool to me too, except for maybe engineer. Then again I have never played it so I'll decide after I try them all out. So excited!

[shobiz]

i think ive decided on Norn engineer as you can see by my signature, they only get pistols and rifels as far as weapons go but with all those different weapon kits they can have equipped and turrets! all the while being able to buff and support my allies, i am in LOVE haha

[darthbill99]

I'm going Charr Engineer. I haven't decided on a name yet, but I have a few that I'm considering. I love the Charr, they're just so badass.

[shobiz]

I do really like the charr, and had a hard time choosing between that and Norn for my main. As long as I get to make a charr eventually I'm happy

[theactualkarly]

My first character will be a human elementalist named Severity. Then, I'll make an Asura mesmer, unknown name. Probably also, a Sylvari thief named something like Knightmyr. My younger brother is going to make a Norn ranger on my account and take up my play time.

[onestryke]

I plan on rolling a Mesmer first since it is a very unique style and different than most i have played. As far as race i am not sure but i think Asurian will be the one.

[rutherfjord]

Alright onestryke! I always get happy when I hear there will be more Mesmers. I love the purple lasers...

Like Rutherjford I dig it whenever I see that new mesmers are joining our ranks. We may not be the most popular class in the guild, but you wouldn't know it. our clones make us look much more numerous than the polls would imply.

jade Another ALT Fan See now Nancy is not the only one who is going to like you alot . I plan on doing all 5 races and have 5 or 6 names for each one so I can get one I like and wanna see for the next 3 to 5 years . I am doing almost the same thing as Jade. I plan on making my Asura Elementalist to play with the wife. An as she wants to make a Norn Alt, well that will take care of my Norn Ranger. So you will see me on most of the time if playing alone as my Char Warrior, Human Guardian or Slyvari Necromancer. An as someone who is used to the trinity and standing still fighting please do expect me to suck for a week or three . I look forward to seeing you all on the pre launch or for the rest after .

[jade]

I love making new toons plus i find knowing the in's and out's of the other toons makes me more effective when grouping, cause i have an idea of what the other characters can do. Plus i'm just a little crazy

[Phoenix]

I am going with two main Characters an elementalist for control and combo damage and my guardian for support and damage think I have them planned out we shall see!!
