i agree yet i only got to level 11 on my thief i felt like a paper doll.
I think having multiple weapon sets can make certain situations more approachable. For instance with a thief, if you had your melee set up, and a bow setup, you could switch between the two on the fly. If you are soloing you could open with the 2 bow bomb shots (explosive arrow/choking gas) and then close in with melee and they would already have some damage done to them. I found that started ranged and doing as much damage as I could before the mob got to me and then switching over to melee weapons worked pretty well. I also did some dual pistol kiting when I was soloing which worked pretty well also, assuming you are fighting melee mobs. It's nice that you can actually kite in GW2 and mobs don't run faster than you, so you can easily circle strafe around and avoid getting hit at all when the mobs are melee.

Was there somewhere to buy the accessory items in the Heart of the Mists? I couldn't find any, just replacement amulets, weapons, and sigils (for the weapons)... I only had 14% crit on my mesmer and I think gimped stats but still was doing really, really well with it , towards the end I was winning 1on1's virtually always and 2on1's most of the time. I played my Mesmer as ~22k hp and a clone-factory type build... loved it more the more I played it.
it's actually quite fun. you can have stretches of boredom in WvW if you're alone and away from the action. long travel times don't suit today's mmo crowd.
yea, people who've played MMO's pre-2007 wouldn't mind.
Yes they would mind. Hell, even EQ put fast travel to just about anywhere in game.
takes too much effort. if you have any interest in the game it'd do you well to just click on everything i post, you won't regret it.
Why do all these livestreamers lately put their damn face in the video?
It's supposed to make the stream more personal... I just find it annoying, myself.
It's mainly a feature added for female streamers to increase viewer numbers.
It's just a shame that there isn't too many female gamers, if any, that use streaming. Mostly it's some douchy looking guy, dribbling into his headset.
By that logic, everyone's a "douchey looking guy dribbling into his headset".

Does GW2 download zones only when you first enter them the way that GW1 did? If so, I might have an issue, dunno yet. My ISP here in the dorms is not great, I usually only get 1.1-1.2 megabytes per second on Steam downloads and other things...but I just tried GW1 for the first time in a while and it was attempting to download zones at like 25 kb/s.

Only problem with the game is the performance. Other than that I'm fucking stoked.
I agree that the game should really run a bit smoother than it does for a DX9 game that looks good, but not exactly Witcher 2 caliber by any means. However, it did seem to me that this past beta weekend ran better than the previous beta weekend. I don't know if any code changes were made to the graphics engine, but it sure seemed like I was getting 10-15fps better than the first beta weekend. The first weekend I was pulling high 20's and low 30's at max detail on a GTX 670, this past weekend was in the high 40's and low 50's. Lion's Arch bought it down to the 30's again though.

Not being a hater, but maybe this is a Nvidia issue? No performance problems with 6950s, and I don't think Crossfire is even working right, so you have a lot more raw GPU power than me, but you were seeing 20-30 FPS lower. I ran max settings (except for AA) at 2560x1440.
