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.

I can't like this video enough... Damn!

Edit: I love this guy. Subscribing! Thanks Trag3dy!

Edit2: Wow I really really love this guy's reviews. He's so damn detailed, I usually hate watching review videos...

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 can't like this video enough... Damn!

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.

im guessing that chest in the pirate cove re spawns WAY faster then 24 hr's, i logged out @ the chest because i did the cave thing @ work. was prolly 4 hours ago. logged in seconds ago, and could loot the chest again.

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

    • Was it too much to ask to show the icon in this article?
    • Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)
    • Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.
    • Actually, I think even Microsoft doesn't know how to control it
    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
