I singed up for it. While the odds for me getting it are low it would be still be fun to get it. Me and three other friends signed up for it so hopefully one of us will get in.

I completely forgot to actually sign up for the beta myself. Keep telling myself I'd do it later, but later never happened. :(

 

This should be your answer though:

When do Beta Weekend Events (BWEs) start, and how many will there be?

The first BWE is currently planned for late April, and we expect to have one every month or so. The schedule is subject to change and will be confirmed at a later date. Currently, we do not know how many of these events we will have.

Playing as a Charr thief. At the moment I am trying to find the best weapon combination. So far my favorite is sword and dagger in the off hand. I do like dagger and pistol as well. Ah well, hopefully this account will work out.

Is the gameplay much different than the standard MMORPG? Because I saw a vid of a dungeon playthrough and it didn't seem very different from your average WoW heroics run. And is the leveling experience with the events really that revolutionary and more fun?

Plus I think the whole teenage girl thing will end soon (hopefully), because my girlfriend is absolutely in love with him(she is 18), and im beginning to feel threatened by his [Justin Bieber] dashing looks.

In terms of other MMO's and how it looks it's not that much different. I can't really explain the differences though since that is what sets GW2 apart from other MMO's.

 

Here are some videos that can explain it better:

This will be the MMO for me this year. I have 4 other friends playing this one with me so hopefully this game will be a blast. It is a lot of fun and very challenging.

I've played in every "open" beta so far. If anyone wants my opinions on it, just ask away.

 

 

 

Is the gameplay much different than the standard MMORPG? Because I saw a vid of a dungeon playthrough and it didn't seem very different from your average WoW heroics run. And is the leveling experience with the events really that revolutionary and more fun?

 

The combat system is WoW's hotbar system, improved. Projectiles have collision detection, weapon swings damage everything in their path, tons of abilities you have to aim.

 

The level experience is more fun, particularly because you're never handed a "tasklist" of "go there and kill 10 boars". You're free to explore, and you are rewarded for it in exp.

For example, you can earn a ton of exp by fully exploring any town or outdoors map, and on top of that you receive cash and an item for exploring it all. Plus, you never feel like you outlevel a zone, because you can complete a lvl1-15 zone and then go to another race's zone and complete theirs, and your level will downscale to the event at hand so you still feel challenged.

 

However, at least in the beta, if you're planning to level two characters of the same race, you'll feel a bit bored because you'll encounter some repeated events. But that's when you go to WvW, which is my favourite part of the game.

The last beta was amazing for me. Was super excited they let us to are beta characters. My Charr Thief got to level 20, and I have to say I enjoy thief the most. Overall everything was great :thumbup:

I decided that I didn't want to ruin release for me, so I avoided PvE and stuck to WvW and sPvP. WvW was a bit boring because my server owned 100% of the landmass, but sPvP was a blast. I love what they did with the glory chests.

I stuck with the story mostly. I did not mess with WvW so that will be my next goal. PvP was fun as hell, loved it :thumbup:

I finished the storyline on my human char on my first BWE. Really liked it, feels refreshing to have a storyline that isn't "Go there fetch X" or "kill X boars".

Exactly. The story for Charr was great, with the turmoil with all the legions. However...my questline was broken so I couldn't finish :mellow:

Questlines seem to end at level19. Also, the questline actually depends on the choices you made during character creation... It blew my mind.

You cant expect them to have everything. It is only a beta. But it had the least bugs out of all the betas i've been in, even open betas, or betas that were pretty much there to get you hyped up for the game so you'll want to go back and play it; and the actually game was already "done".

 

I played a norn and a human, havent tried charr. I'm hoping the next beta event will be longer or atleast during the week since it's summer, as it's hard for me to play on weekends. Also something cool that I found out, if you're an elementalist (And maybe some other classes, I mainly stuck to one character since I didn't have that much time to play) and you spend 5 trait points in an element to get the trait it gives, your entire party gets that trait. That might be a bug though.

 

Also daggers are really good, they seem to be almost broken in PvE, I can just stand there and do the basic attack, and i'll do so much damage that I dont have to worry about dodging before the monster i'm fighting is dead.

I meant the questlines ended at lvl19 for the beta. I did encounter a couple of bugs, but it is to be expected. I was surprised when I saw how quickly they had read the feedback from the previous beta and acted on it.

Possibly a bug, never experienced it. I think I'm not going to play any more PvE during the betas, I'll stick to WvW and PvP so I don't spoil the PvE experience at release.

You never really have to worry much when fighting one regular mob. But when a pack or a veteran+ mob comes after you, you need to pull the big guns. And daggers are the close range dps weapons of the elementalist, so it is working as intended.

 

 

I played a ranger up to level 22 or so, greatsword/longbow. Pets need a lot of tweaking still. Played a warrior in sPvP, it was very fun.

I did not realize the quest line stopped at level 19, because that is what level my quest stopped at.

Well what I meant is even if it's a group of mobs, I never had a problem with them. And I said I mainly stuck to elementalist, I did explore other classes some, and that always seemed to be the case with daggers.
