Guild Wars 2: The One Thread

It'd be nice. When I look back at wow I regret picking certain classes. It takes ages to level up a character and realising you should've chosen differently isn't fun. I will probably never get my wow warrior up to max lvl since I've gotten so bored of the game. Still I regret not trying the class sooner (I had severe presumptions).

Well you have a 5/8 chance of getting it right. I'd say those are good chances :P

But its a boss non the less, it's just you are doing it with strangers.

Which is kinda not the allure and point of raiding, of the instanced variety. Instance raiding is predicated on 2 factors: exclusion and mechanical complexity. Both would be against the DD/T of GW2.

The video's fight looks jaw dropping. No argument from me on that. Only I don't think it's okay to falsely transpose gameplay mechanics & design logic.

If Steam would be offering, they would be on the list. So: No Steam. ^MK

Hmm... now that they said racial elite skills seem to be flavor things makes it easier to choose my race again. Guess I'm still going human. It is a tad disappointing that they made it so.

Not really, racials are an easy way to lead to fotm races, which I despise, glad they are under powered.

what's stopping from the individual profession racials from being fotm?

They don't want racials to influence people to pick a particular race based on power.

You're disappointed you don't have to play a race you don't like because it gives an advantage ingame?

They could have still tried to make them equal to profession elite skills. Though that might just be too much work.

That would cause the exact opposite of what they wanted. They don't want racials to matter, just to be flavor.

[zito]

The meteor charr racial still needs to be nerfed if its for flavor...

[Blood Crusade]

I'll have to wait and see what the other elites are like for myself for w/e class I end up playing, won't be norn though. : / The norn ones look so copy/paste as far as the model is, and i've never been a big fan of morphing.

[Jimusmc]

Holy shit, have a look at all those mirrow effects on the swamps surface... amazing. My computer is never going to run this game in such a quality.

You can read some lines in the chat, some guy has just 5 FPS...

well he had fraps on at full quality.. that kills FPS big time.

[DrakeWurrum]

It would be unbalancing. As others have said, they don't want anybody to choose a race because of relative power. They specifically want race to be a choice of flavor and fun, and not force anybody's hand.

If you want to play Charr, you play Charr, and nobody will be able to mock you saying "BUT HUMAN THIEVES ARE THE BEST THIEVES ARE YOU A NOOB?!"
