A Tap-Repeatedly Article

He spent the whole time standing at the back, doing nothing but damage. He never once tried to use his utility skills to give his teammates a boon, and never once tried to control mobs.

So basically, he played like there was a trinity, then when his teammates had to try to keep him alive and handle the mobs without his help, he says "AHA I've got you, I knew there was still a trinity!"

/facepalm

Great - this means we all have to deal with a bunch of idiots from time to time who try to prove their trinity-theory while not doing their job and beeing nothing but chock on the groups chariot.



However, nice article, thanks for linking it.

I disagree with MikeB's objectivity.

The day before the embargo lift he posted on Twitter:


In previous months he filled in on GamebreakerTV when the GW2 presenters where absent on a few occasions, and every time he would say things along the lines of "oh well they say they got rid of the trinity, but I think you can still play like a healer" etc.

So he had made his mind up months before he even played the game.
In my opinion, that completely destroys his creditability as a journalist doing a review.

It may be. In any case it's not what I was talking about; even if he's not impartial, which I can forgive since he's not a machine, the report did sound so instead of reading like a love letter.

I loved reading this article. Can't wait to experience this game!

FINALLY! A great write up on GW2 beta. Not just "this mechanic does this" that we've heard ad nauseum for the past 4 months. He writes his opinions and his view points. Great read. Anyone who considers themselves a GW2 fan MUST read this article.

it is getting increasingly harder for me to hold out and wait with nothing to play in the meantime ><

Try out City of Heroes, imo, it's a great time-killer.

He played a Necromancer in the dungeon. There was an engineer that was putting down healing turrets in his group and he said something along the lines of "The trinity is abolished somewhat; That's not to say the guy throwing heals on the ground isn't our dedicated healer, and the guy taking all the hits isn't a tank".

Some people will turn to using faulty logic just to stubbornly support their arguments and not be wrong.
