Another Guild Wars Beta Event

[Swiss Mercenary]

PvP is not really my cup of tea, I can see myself participating in it once I have tried most, if not all of the classes, and when I have a better understanding of skills. Since I only had one PvP experince thus far, I can't comment on the PvP aspect, nor the class balancing, but I do think the system of matching up components can use some changing, being clvl 7 and being set up to do battle with clvl 20 was not fun...

I would daresay that PvP is where the main gripes are revolving - not skill balance, per se (Which is mostly an issue to people unwilling to adapt their tactics), but from the lack of true guild PvP content. As of now, there's one guild PvP map - and not one that's too great, IMHO. Sure, there's the tombs, but playing there has no reflection on guild ranking (Hence why the competitive players are complaining about the lack of a fun "Competitive" aspect in a Competitive Onlne RPG.

There are still things to be done, chat system, trade system and more control over henchmen and pets. Crafting seems to be the only "grind" in the game, but the item drop rate had been tweaked and was much better in the December event, perhaps further tweaking is needed? I am one of the variant scums from your friendly neighbourhood, so I didn't really bother too much with items.  ;)  Also, some players complained  the last event was too difficult, well, I don't know, I did the first two missions solo with henchmen and found them to be alright, and I know a person who did the first mission solo without henchmen (hi Sirian!).  :lol:

The first two missions are not at all overly difficult - the same can be said for most of the other ones. However, there are a few gems... Such as The Wilds, in Kryta, where you wll get mobbed by ~12 "centaur" warriors/rangers/priests at certain points, throughout it. And consider that your party would be a level (or two, or three) below them, t calls for some creative tactics. Too bad that most people can't be bothered to analyse the situation, and exploit their weaknesses.

Not sure how much content the current build has, and how much more to add, those in the close beta will have a better idea. Tried as I might, I didn't finish all missions, nor had I explored all those explorable areas, wish we get more time to play.

You should see Rotscale in Majesty's Rest. :w00t:

I hope the guild stash/personal stash system is implemented in the January event, along with those I mentioned above, Well, we will just have to wait and see.

Word from closed beta, is that such things are not in the game... At least, as of now. :unsure:
