Well, weekend is over and I ground my way up to Adept, so theoretically I should be in the regular beta now.
I spent most of my time levelling warden abilities and then wondered why none of my damage (was doing ranged) abilities were getting any levels, then I noticed that I need to see Oracle trainers for those. Noticed that one a bit too late for it to make a difference. Ah well.
My only real big complaint about the game is that it's still too... slow, as in it takes the game too long to react to what I do.
Didn't get to try out Vortex or really do any networking on forums and such, I'll definitely be looking for a clan/guild sometime soon. As for Bloodbath... well... they need to have zones where you're matched up based on rank. Quite often it would happen that a Grand Master or other high rank would be in the zone and, well, I got to practice running away, not that it really did much good. Kill thieving was also a pretty big issue with the higher ranked players taking kills away from the lower ranked ones and then finishing them off. Against evenly matched opponents (at least, I think they were) I usually found a way to come out the victor and could finish in the top 5 of a Bloodbath, assuming there weren't too many high levels.
One thing I haven't been able to figure out... what does LWE mean? I had a few skills at the end there that I would liked to have tried out but never got the chance because of that.
As for GW... I think I've just about had it with that game. I've been in a largely PvE guild (yeah yeah yeah, I know, a PvP player in a PvE guild) for the entire run of the game so I don't have the PvP titles that the top GvG guilds want and, let's be honest, it's too late in the game to start scrounging for the table scraps to get them. If Fury has some sort of GvG equivalent then I'll definitely be making the switch. Hopefully I'll think a bit more about my skill quest selections the next time around instead of just "ooh, exlamation point, lemme get his quests!"
Oh yeah, my 8800 runs the game fine. Ok, so it's the GTS 320, but it's still an 8800.
