Congrats on making the cut and getting into the weekend beta. Many of us are waiting breathlessly for your honest report on how the game looks, feels and plays.

Is all I have to say is the spawn rates need to chill the **** out.
Now back to the most unhealthy thing that I've ever participated in.
Congrats on beta access. I have to agree that I hope we get a healthy dose of non sugar coated info. Some of us need to have a little air let out of the balloon before we try to ride it to the moon. Most importantly, have fun.
I hope the WvWvW system delivers.....Hard to get too excited anymore, with the releases of the last 4.5 years...
Seems like this would be the hardest to thoroughly test. And maybe the most ambitious. Having pve, DE's and pvp objectives all happening with 3 factions(servers) is a bold idea.
Everyone seems to be concerned about getting the straight goods, the honest info, the non-sugarcoated version. I want that too, but yet I'm still ok with getting a bit of zealous glee as well. There are definately some things that can't be attributed to responible journalism that I still want to hear.
I would like to read "The WvWvW was so engaging I didn't even realize that I had bit off part of my tongue!" or "by day three I had forced myself to quit eating so I didn't have to take as many breaks" or "people will be able to use this game to get over their heroin addictions"
So yeah, my practical side wants a clear and honest write up, but deep down I want a sugar coated ball of anticipation stuck deep in my gut so that I can't hardly stop thinking about how excited I am for the game to release.
All of my posts are either intelligent, thought provoking, funny, satirical, sarcastic or intentionally disrespectful. Take your pick.
I get banned in the forums for games I love, so lets see if I do better in the forums for games I hate.
I enjoy the serenity of not caring what your opinion is.
Ugh W v W v W zerg fest + shitty pvp maps(catapults WTF) + pve(wooooo never seen that before) = Bad designers. Wise men learn from others mistakes fools learn from their own.

Wise fools learn from both and I'd wager that being a wise fool is the best way to go.

Right, so what you're saying is basically that attempting to make an MMO makes you a bad designer... Lots of wisdom there.
The fact that you list 'pve' as a bad design mechanic, is just laughable in and of itself.
This game is doing a lot differently; anyone who has actually played this game knows this. The response was phenominal at gamescon. They may not have as many fans as starwars or blizzard, but they are doing a lot of things right. I don't think people should be holding this game accountable for the entire genre, but I don't think people should automatically be dismissing it yet either.
It won't be for everyone, but I will be very surprised if it doesn't make an impact.
Definitely waiting to hear more details. GW2 is the last best hope for MMOs moving forward. The genre is beyond stale right now.
Lolno... GW2 is the same old same old tab target run around in circles and press 1 2 3.
Oh have they just changed the entire combat model in the last couple days? or do you actually think the core issues with pvp is the TAB targetting button?

Last i checked, end game whether it be PvE or PvP revolved around a good solid combat system, not personal stories, dynamic content, character development or even voice work for that matter.

Yeah, good combat mechanics can get you far and make stuff that is boring in many games fun.
But the endgame will be more than just the combat system or getting titles.
It might still not be enough in the long run though, we can only speculate about that now. It will take 6 months after launch before we really know that for sure.

I don't hate much, but I hate Apple© with a passion. If Steve Jobs was alive, I would punch him in the face.

Please, try to learn a bit about grammar.

Grats on the invite. I bet GW2 will be here sooner than we think!
Grim Dawn, the next great action rpg!

GW2 can't come soon enough.
I am so fed up with the current state of MMO's...
Hoping TERA will keep me entertained ( I sure know Frogster will handle things professionally as they have this week-end ).
Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.

This is not a game.

If you don't worry about it, it's not a problem.
I am an avid GW2 fan but i would not say it's the last hope to be honest.
