Sylvari Mesmer, love how it plays, always did have an interest in the class because of it's style. Hope though that there are traits that improve the illusions health, too often did my support illusions get one hit by even a normal mob so I didn't like that too much but wasn't like I had an insanely long cooldown before i could create another so it wasn't a deal-breaker.

Its only for digital i think, the box won't ship till the game is released then figure 3 days for shipping. Ok not really in a rush, playing diablo 3 right now.

there are. there are also several traits that punish your foe when he kills your illusions (which i find far more interesting :P ).

you can play around with builds here.

the digital versions are only pre-purchase i believe, not pre-orders.

i find the asura and norn are two different running speeds. maybe im delusional but i had more fun fighting with norn slowness and i rarely had to rally. idk im indifferent to them both. idk which ill choose. prolly norn tho and for all begginners of guild wars 2, you should know if you make a char and keep it day one... anet will prollly reward you somehow someway like they did in gw1. just a heads up. so having that same char from day one is a good thing with anet. js. :P

Hmmm, I think I might go human engineer. Loved that profession and I liked the human starting area.

I don't know. Although I do very much indeed look forward to Guild Wars 2, I haven't researched this game at all, I don't even know what classes or races there are. Gonna be tough to pick a class, not sure if I want to be a warrior / mage / thief... Hopefully I won't roll some weirdly underpowered class, I tend to like being overpowered. ^^

the movement speed and hitbox are the same for all races, but they have to adapt the animations. so a 10 foot tall norn has to slowly jog to match the speed of an asura sprinting :P

Speaking of running... Anyone else notice that the Sylvari run kind awkwardly, like if you have ever seen a 3 or 4 year old run? I mean it makes sense based on their lore, but I thought it was kinda funny.

Somebody should make a Steam group and a Google's Doc roster of everybody.

It would help if you guys threw together some funds and got a VoiP of some sort. A 30 man Ventrillo server is pretty cheap. So is a Teamspeak 3 server.

Why would you pay for a voip server? Never heard of RaidCall? Professional gamers use it.

the game has guilds for that :P and i swear i can't see the appeal of 30 people talking at the same time on VoIP, especially on an MMO. only benefit i can see for that is commanding a large group on world VS world, but i'll spend most of my time with small groups in PvE or sPvP, where something simpler like in-game chat (or skype) does the trick.

because that's where hype threads belong :P way more people check SW, a hype thread is as informative as it is a place for people that are already set on the game to discuss it.

1st char: Norn Ranger. Let the pet do the killing.

2nd char: Human Thief. Kill with style.

3rd char: Charr Warrior or Guardian. Kill as a monster.

There is always a link in the email that you received with the pre-purchase code. Copy and paste + go. Enter account name or create one. Enter code to pair it up with your account and update.

It's bad enough that they start threads with questionable links to spam and advertise now they are invading legitimate threads. Protip - never click on a link posted by someone with <100 posts.

It seems to me like not many people are choosing the Solider professions (Warrior and Guardian). I was originally really excited about playing Guardian, but then I watched the Yogscast video and a couple others and it looked really boring. Warrior might be a bit more fun, but for me at least the melee professions were just really unappealing.

None, broke at the moment. Looking for my first job after Cross Country season ends. Being a Junior in high school limits your cash flow quite a bit.
