I nevr really liked MMOs before, but I am really digging GW2! I made a thief and was googling about which skills to pick. I got lost in all of the excel spreadsheets of information, so I am just having fun and not worrying about having an uber-character.

My one minor quibble is that I wish that the character customization was more complex, but I'm the type of person who likes to customize everything I can.

In cases like that, when I'd be at work but with a little free time, at school, or waiting, I'd like to read threads/forums on specific classes. Lets me see what others are building, how they're working their skills to combo/synergize well with each other and such. I don't really care about numbers so much as I do being viable for what I want to do, like being sturdy, outputting burst DPS, or what have you.

Cheers though man, glad you're enjoying yourself. :)

You level up, craft stuff, trade stuff, and role play as a fantasy character; why is it like comparing apple and oranges? Besides I don't want to waste $60 to judge it myself and find out that it sucks.

Here you go, Angry Joe reviews GW2 for you:

Very slow goings but love the game. I 100% completed Kexxec Hills (after 100% complete Queensdale) earlier this week. I love how much stuff is in this game. Also if you stick around after events you can listen to the story of the zone a bit as the NPC's usually stand around talking about what just happened.

This video has convinced me to start playing it again when I get home. I had stopped playing last Friday because I had become completely bored.

I'll help ya out. Just shoot me a message.

Thank you for your kind offer but your assistance will not be needed! :D

I was finally able to find a group to do the quest and funnily enough once we did that the rest of the story quests after that one are soloable so I really think Arenanet needs to fix that quest. It was "Rumors of Trouble".

I've done about 5 more storyline quests since then and am well on my way to level 30. I'm starting to enjoy the game a bit more now than I was the other day.

I do think however that World v World is kind of well.. pointless. I spent 30 minutes playing it with about 20 people from my guild we were on teamspeak and we held a keep(?) from an opposing server for about 30 minutes. But here is the thing, we kept pushing them back about 100 feet then they would respawn and return and this happened probably 20 odd times before we literally just got bored and left. We were not making any headway and neither were the other server the whole thing just felt pointless and a waste of time, everyone on teamspeak was very deflated about it.

A few others commented that they didn't feel their kills meant anything because as soon as you downed a player they would go to the nearest waypoint and be back within a minute and I definitely agree with him on that. I really think they need to add in some kind of respawn timer so that when you die there is a time penalty that would have given us time to be able to push them back far enough to take the areas from which they were using to respawn. Otherwise it just feels like you're mowing down a horde of ants that just keep coming and coming. I must have killed this same mesmer about 13 times in the exact same area just ridiculous triviality.

Were people aware you could add your own music to the game?

And I got my first piece of Citadel of Flame gear last night. CoF explorable is easy compared to Coil of Eternity story mode. I still stand by what I said the other day that Anet over tuned some of the dungeons.

I've been a fan of Angry Joe for several years. He really does put a lot of work into his reviews, even for games that don't deserve it.

If you don't mind browsing Reddit, bunch of people have listed there playlists throughout various threads (or w/e reddit calls 'em.)

I was thinking of adding all the music I purchased for GW1 (also made by Jeremy Soule) to playlists. It's about 50 extra tracks. I'm not sure if it's possible to do though.

Oh dear god, now I'm never gonna stop playing. Playing GW2 whilst listening to Doctor Who music, EPIC.

And I don't normally like Angry Joe's reviews, but his GW2 review was awesome. I loved that Star Wars bit lol
