    Just so people know, this is the audio podcast he put up yesterday playing over a Norn Necro doing mostly personal story.

    Sum it up:

    Combat is amazing
    Questing is the best system he's ever seen
    World is "alive"
    Scaling problems with large numbers of people
    Too many particle effects

    What they don't account for is that in GW1 HoH was a worldwide competition; US, EU, and Korea were fighting for control even against each other; why do they (and apparently most people) think that won't continue to be the case?

    Does GW2 have a class like the WoW hunter class? Meaning a ranged kiting class that can fire instants on the move. That's the kind of gameplay I enjoy.

    The ranger can cast on the move, and do melee if you like. And you can have 3 pets I think.

    Everything can use skills on the move. You can move while casting in GW2.
    There is a ranger, if you wanted specifically a bow-wielder.

    The exception are channeled skills, but there isn't many of those. It's all like, meteor storm.

    Ranger, thief, warrior. All of them have the option for bows as a potential weapon. Rangers are the only one with a pet.

    Warriors seem to have a lot of AoE with their longbow, and a lot of conditions (debuffs) for their rifle. Thieves can use pistols (option for mainhand, offhand, or dual wield) and shortbows, and Rangers can use shortbows, longbows, and throwing axes.

    An engineer can use pistols and a rifle, but no bow.

    Keep in mind that a warrior/thief is just as viable at ranged as a ranger, and a ranger is just as viable at melee as a warrior/thief.

    Essentially every class is this way. As Larynx suggested, if you specifically want bows, there is Warrior, Ranger, and Thief, and Engineers can also use guns.

    Only the Ranger has a permanent pet, if you want that.
    I hope you haven't forgotten my role in this little story. I'm the leading man. You know what they say about the leading man? He never dies.

    If you give in to your impulses in this world, the price is that it changes your personality in the real world. The player and character are one and the same.

    I'm not sure if this was common knowledge, but the Kodan are apparently in GW2.

  14. #16534
    I love the Kodan lore. I hope they become a playable race.

    Well, I'm officially depressed. Looks like 90% of my footage was afflicted with some strange dxtory codec issue.
    Tomorrow I have to BFFR so looks like I won't be touching this project again until Thurs/Friday, and even then it may just be a bust. Fuck.
    Looks like Mike B is the one that is going to be disappointing me this beta round. Shame.

    I'd love to see it too, but I'm worried it may be redundant since we already have a spiritual giant-sized race of hunters.
