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

    • Lol I had one of these turn faulty in Jan, guess it wasn't just bad luck lol
    • I'm team Rossmann all the way. I have the exact same NVME, altough not in an array like him.
    • It had gone weeks ago. Although thinking about it I'm on the beta.
    • They thought value of their goods would forever only drop like it used to and didn't account for sudden increase in price because of all the Ai hype. Tough luck Samsung, don't try to weasel this one out. Also American customer protection laws are a**. In Europe, you need to be compensated for a functioning product of same or better characteristics (not same price point as when it was originally bought!) if it can't be repaired and when you receive a replacement product your warranty starts from scratch because you received a different item than you previously had and old warranty thus cannot apply to it anymore. If your actual item was successfully repaired, warranty gets extended for the period the item was in service. If item is repaired to a significant extent, warranty also starts over from scratch because major part of it was replaced. Americans need to fight to get this kind of consumer protections because they are constantly getting screwed over.
    • Microsoft releases new Windows 11 Media Creation Tool with the latest updates by Taras Buria Patch Tuesday updates arrive every month, bringing users new features and security updates. To make sure customers have access to the most recent images, Microsoft also releases updates to the Media Creation Tool app, its official utility for Windows 11 installation. Today, the company pushed new ISOs to Media Creation Tool, allowing you to create images with the June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates. With the latest update, the Media Creation Tool now downloads KB5094126. It is Windows 11 version 25H2, build 26200.8655, which is also available via Windows Update. Note that the app itself remains on the previous version, which you can check in Properties > Details. The only change is that it now downloads a more recent Windows 11 build, so the only way to check is to download an ISO. The June 2026 Patch Tuesday update is a special release for Windows 11, as it brings a new performance profile to make the operating system more responsive and snappier when rendering various user interface surfaces, including the Start menu, quick settings, and more. It does so by spiking processor speeds for a brief moment, resulting in higher loads for a second or two. The so-called “Low latency profile” is rolling out gradually, but you can force-enable it with the ViVeTool app. Other changes include webcam improvements, Task Manager updates, shared audio support, and more. You can download the Media Creation Tool app from the official Microsoft website using this link. Besides MCT, Microsoft lets you download Windows 11 ISO as a file directly from the official Windows 11 website. However, you will need a third-party app to write it to your USB drive. Check out this guide if you want to know how to do that.
