Interesting repair mechanics and discussion here:
http://www.guildwars2guru.com/forum/repair-mechanic-in-gw2i-beta-t27875.html Nice discussion on limited skill / ability set: http://guildwars.incgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?501846-The-Open-Invitation-on-Skills One of the better discussions on Reddit concerning gear progression in GW2: http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/ptk7g/is_anyone_else_concerned_about_the_effects_not/ |

Those racial abilities look very appealing, each race has a variety of neat abilities. This is going to make my race selection a tad more difficult :P
|
|
The charr's look especially enticing. Just yet another thing to strengthen my resolve as a charr. :D
|
|
hmmm. Just watched the BFF Report. It looks interesting. I like the part about not have a fixed "trinity" role and seemingly free flow of questing and battle.
I'm reminded about how much fun I used to have PVP'ing in old FPS's like Doom or Quake, where you don't have to worry about grinding honor/conquest/whatever just to get gear and prepare for battle. I just want to leap in and smash face. Forget all that stat min/maxing crap. |

that guys is horrible, but its a good overview- I thought it was funny he as talking about how huge it was- and the whole area he as looking at was only one zone- of four. His servers main area was getting torn up. |

Added bullets to the more interesting topics.

yeah he was but man it still amazing when it comes out and thats the only video that i have seen that is not only 2 mins or so. |
|
Haha, it's like the floodgates were opened. They lifted the press NDA for press info but they haven't lifted the NDA for regular players, so don't expect people around here to pop up and admit they played it. Regular players posting screenshots is a breach of the NDA as well. So just be careful.
That said, I'm so excited for GW2. It's great to see a game that does a bestial race correctly because the Charr just look fantastic. |
The problem there is IGN, they dont write bad reviews for anything. |

So..much...info....
