Guild wars 2
Over the weekend was the second beta event for Guild wars 2. So far Arenanet has impressed me greatly with the game. I was never a big Guild wars fan since I was playing wow at the time, but I have to say I am really, really impressed.
Is there anyone else out there looking forwards to Guild Wars 2 as well? If so what are you playing as, or are interested in playing?
I tried out a few classes and so far and the two I really like is the mesmer and the elementalist. To those who have no idea what the crazy person is babbling about, the mesmer uses illusion based magic and can be ranged or melee and the elementalist is ranged that uses elemental magic (fire, water/ice, lighting/air, earth).
What I am most impressed about is the different spells you can unlock depending on the weapon and weapon combos you use. For my mesmer I like the sword and torch combo for melee and the greatsword or scepter/torch for ranged.
For my elementalist, I liked using daggers, but quickly fell in love with using the staff.
I do have to say that the game sometimes got frustrating from time to time when the difficulty of a quest seemed disproportionate to the level. I can freely admit however that I am not used to playing on my own so much anymore as I've been playing mmos with my husband the last three years so my soloing skills have atrophied.
I can't wait for the next beta event, or even another 7 hr stress test!
