Hey guys, Not sure if anyone linked this but for the people who complained about not being able to change eye color. You can now do it.

this shows they really do listen to their feedback.

[Imnick]

Oh, it's just the tooltips

Why will no one show us the norn forms, damnit!

Woot
I suspected they were working on it due to the last few Asura we've seen having grey unskinned eyes, but it's awesome to get confirmation

[Borzo]

Yeah these curse videos are very disappointing for me. I mean what's the point... ?

I don't need a video, I can just read the wiki. /facepalm

My Charr's eyes will be red to show how much of a BADASS I am!
.. or not.

Little things like that make me happy.

They're the best.

Any videos of GOOD thief gameplay? For a supposedly popular profession, it has very little footage. Fuck you beta testers.

TB's thoughts on GW2 (audio) podcast

This was actually a really great podcast. Definitely worth listening to!

TB posted a thief video of him doing some dynamic events, but he's significantly more focused on telling us what's going on than playing his best.
I mean, it IS a live-com.
He's not as retarded as some most press, though.

[Requimortem]

Has there been any information on when we can expect a release date? Or perhaps the actual release date? It feels like I've been waiting an eternity.

Yeah, you can tell that TB really "gets it". I especially loved how he said the (NDA breakers) claims of combat being boring were "bullshit" >:D

You are not alone. And no, I don't think there is yet. Pre-orders open on 10th of April though, which isn't too far away!

Bleh, just watched it. I think I'm going to stick with warrior. I really don't like the idea of monitoring initiative in a game where you have to be extra careful of your surroundings.

GW2 Beta - Charrzooka http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTycW...oYKmb-lhvaQ%3D new tb video again

[Deleted]

is it just me or have they added a few faces/hairstyles aswell, not just eye color? oO

[Delias]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTycW...oYKmb-lhvaQ%3D new tb video again

Oh, I thought he was joking around when he called it a charzooka in the thief video.
Hah!

[Fencers]

(3/4 of the way through now)
He utterly trashes the claims of the NDA breaking QQ'ers

That was probably a handful of brats out of all testers. Most likely parroting one another or simply making multiple accounts. Almost everything negative reeked of utter bullshit.

While I haven't played, so I cannot really say... I find it a bit absurd that people complain that:

1) Abilities are spammy and without "importance", and you just have to mash them on cooldown to do fine.
2) PVE encounters are spammy and chaotic, and they are full of unexplained randomness that just ends up one-shotting and killing you.

Makes me /facepalm every time.

But I suspect many people will come to that same conclusion - and be disappointed at the game - having never come to a proper understanding of how to play GW2.

If you play your character chaotically and with ability-spam, you're experience of the gameplay will be chaotic and spammy. The game will let you do this however... but unfortunately it will give the impression that this is what the game is actually like. Some people will never make the discovery that it doesn't have to be this way.
