    Although we publically alpha- and beta-tested the original Guild Wars while it was still in early development, with Guild Wars 2 we will commence beta testing closer to the game's release.

     

    Open beta? That would be great sometime soon, but it seems that GW2 is so far away...

    By the way, sorry about the weird spacing, not my fault.

• • New Hero added to the Guild Wars NPC line-up

  • Yeah, I don't see how this really matters, it's just another hero. Also, is his name fake? M.O.X? Sounds like a joke...

    Also, I don't see why they need to add even more heroes, considering that you can shape each one to how you play, so it's not like henchies, who have a skill set limited to the 8 on their bar and a limited intelligence on how to use said skills.

    Also, I like the new "Complete Collection", but it seemed obvious that they were going to retail something like this, like what they did with the Warcraft series. Intel on retail cost, anyone? I'm guessing $100+, considering how much all of the campaigns cost together and I'm sure they decreased some of prices on them (like Factions).

• • First Time-ish Playing

  • i added you as well, IGN: Fishdert Pwnarrow, but as Godliest said, get a guild to join, they will provide you with lots of support, such as items (sometimes free), and people to talk and play with (which is much more important).

• • General: NCsoft Layoffs

  • Possibly focusing on Guild Wars exclusively? It seems like NCsoft wasn't confident with their other products and they don't want to spend loads of money on employees, so they are lowering them for that reason, or they are thinking that they don't need that many people...

    Either way, it seems like they believe that GW is their ultimate franchise.

• • Guide to choosing secondary profession

  • Good post, but I have to defend my build...

    Ranger/Mesmer is a very plausible combination. It can be done. Rangers can take the lesser of the energy-sapping skills (like interrupts and low-energy hexes) from the Mesmer and use them in combination with Savage Shot/Distracting Shot and other interrupts to completely pressure and/or disable a Monk or Ele. Yes, the energy costs are high, but that means that you don't use Panic every time it recharges. Also, ranger gear was somewhat designed for players who play caster secondaries, as most of the armor allows quicker energy recharge and gives more base energy in general. There is no lack of synergy, and the build isn't that end-game. Most of the ranger interrupts can be acquired near the beginning of the game, the only thing that matters after that is the gear (which in itself, is end-game).

    The build is rare, but it can work and it is just another example of something that works pretty well that isn't generic. All it needs is a skilled player to manage energy and hexes, and you can also cast Read the Wind on yourself to make interrupts almost instant (since Ranger interrupts are arrow-based). You don't have to modify your entire post, but just think about that...
