Hmm to me, it seams like its a modified version of Rift? Have you played that?
Can you mention a few of the things that you think makes it amazing? I'm just curious :)

So has anyone played the beta now?

How is it?(in your opinion)

Havent played it that much yet, but first impression is that it reminds me a lot about Rift.

I got allot of work this weekend , but be sure of that you will get to see atleast , ATLEAST 5-6h+ of content if i don´t mess it up somehow :)

This weekend ill stop uploading stuff and just focus on playing and recording the little game time i have.

Since the rest is for work and sleep haha ^^


And they did not kid around one bit about

"There is so much content in the beta it is impossible to experience it all in one or even 2 beta weekends for most players. Maybe even for the most hardcore players also"


It is very easy to get distracted by the flow of players moving to something that is happening at one area and get sidetracked from your current "plan"

And i must say i love it.

So far it had been a blast !

Been playing most of the day with my human thief. Barely hit level 15. Anyone who thinks it's grindy has no idea -- you get so little experience for killing critters compared to taking part in events and completing tasks.

And it's actually quite a hard game. I've died a lot. The fact that you always get modified down level-wise depending on where you are keeps things interesting and challenging too. One particular critter in an instance (part of my 'personal story') kept me going for close to an hour. He was really tough. And of course you can't just level up and come back -- you'll always be one level beneath him, no matter what. Getting better gear helped a bit but in the end I had to use all my abilities as a thief to get him.

Easy enough game at first though: you spend the first few levels helping out around a farm, picking apples (and killing spiders in the orchard), plugging holes in a dam...funny little things like that. Even later, you can take on an even level mob effortlessly. This definitely isn't like a typical MMO where you simply have to group or very carefully pick your targets.

Regarding the scaling: I went from 14 to 15 spending half my time in the level 2-3 area wielding sword+pistol, killing toxic oozes poisoning the water supply and killing bandits trying to bomb the water pipes. Got one drop off a level 3 critter that turned into a level 14 item. Curious how they're working this scaling business.

I've never played Rift, wasn't at all interested.

nice, has it a huge world and how is the storyline?
(just wan't to know, I don't have acces for beta GW2 and am waiting until timer chooses me.........)

Man the servers are totally overloaded atm, cant connect at all... :(

Edit: And now the main page and GW2 forums is down as well...
