Hey. So I just gone done playing about 2 hours of the beta after a long while of waiting through disconnects and crashes. The beta seems to be playing a bit better and the fps lag is slightly more tolerable, though still a pain. I've followed a little bit of guild wars 2 before I played and now that I have played some, I have a question. Where is the interesting combat? I get it, dodges and stuff. That's good, but I heard that there wasn't an auto attack and you had to aim spells. Perhaps I'm missing something and for that I apologies, but hearing TB talk about how he doesn't want another wow like MMO to play and how he was thrilled at how gw2 was handling combat, I'm left surprised. It's auto attack, use a CD and dodge. Wasn't gw2 supposed to be able aiming spells? I mean, I thought it was like AOC (From my knowledge of AoC) where each press of a button casts a spell and you have to aim it. For example, a warrior with an axe, you click the spell, aim it and he hacks in the direction you're facing. It's not like that, I'm just doing what I did in wow, the same old. Autoattack and auto target. That reminds me, an example TB gave was 'You can't just press 2 and arcane missles fly straight towards your target like heat seeking missles' but it seems my Necromancers axes never miss.
Enlighten me, please.
