I intend to beta test it over the April 17th weekend to see what its like, and if I like it, I'll be getting it.
At the moment a Ranger/Elementalist is looking fun.

Bugger, you need to have pre-ordered it to participate in beta weekend. Don't suppose you have and have the friends pass not used do you?

i tried to play it way back in the E3 weekend beta thing.
what little i could see was lots of fun, and that's with me dealing with a horrible connection and serious issues with getting it to even work.
still looks great.
also, i have this funny feeling that Blizzard will be releasing a lot more awsome stuff around the time Guild Wars starts.....
gee, i wonder why......*sarcasm*
but yeah, ill definately give Guild Wars a try when it releases.

i'm not to worried...the two games don't draw from the same crowd
most of the people who plays Guild Wars play team games or FPS like CS or Warcraft III...not RPG or MMORPG games

I'm baaaaaacckkkkk....
Only for a little while.
I missed out on that April 17 Weekend Event, gah.
My favorite build:
Elementalist/Monk.
A wonderful mass-killing tank against weak opponents(so many auto-healing continual-effect spells, oh my!), it can kill monsters quickly if needed(60damage fireballs and who-knows-what damage with meteor storm), and does wonders in team/co-op missions(130+ heal other)
I'd try an Elementalist/Ranger and Warrior/Monk, but the El/Mo build is my top build.

First impressions, I played with an elementalist last night and got to level 5. Its a pretty damn nice looking game, and I'm turning into a bit of a pyromaniac with that fire blast spell. Its lacking something that WoW has though, and I think its because of the instanced areas outside of towns, you really have to be part of a group to fully appreciate the game, whereas in WoW you meet people as you wander around, which I feel is a better idea. So someone get the damn game and play with me! Oh yea, have some pictures... www.ripperroo.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/gw001.PNGwww.ripperroo.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/gw002.PNGwww.ripperroo.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/gw003.PNG |

ok I've spent a few months debating the various mechanics of the game...so I can say perhaps that I am a bit of a guru at this... If anyone wants to party or wants to discuss builds with me (trust me, I make damn good builds) then get me on MSN Scilus@hotmail.com Email Everous@gmail.com INgame Ae Toutatis I see you're still in pre-searing...well have fun, I got a little further when i first beta tested...so i kinda rushed through that portion in about 40 mins. Ripper...why am i not surprised you're using the skimpy ele? |

Well, I had no idea what pre-searing and post-searing are, let alone how to trigger the searing.
Got a level 6 Ele/Necro, going for the hp drain with the necro and fire damage and energy storage with the Ele.
A level 3 Monk/Mes, gonna go healing and damage with the monk with more damage from the Mes.
And a ranger, which I didn't get on with.
Why does the world map on some sites look about 1million times the size of the area Ive got on my map? I mean, the lowest point on mine is the Wizards.. whatchamajigger, with Ascalon City at the top, wheres the rest??
