Guild Wars 2

[Error]

Major gravedig/bump. I played the weekend beta last weekend and let me say...it was impressive. Anyone else play in it?

I did, and I was positively surprised, to be honest - I hadn't looked much at trailers/the class and race videos before I played in the previous beta weekend. Can't wait for the full release now.:)

Though I must say that it did confuse me quite a bit when I played it for the first few hours, as so much of the interface makes it seem familiar to anyone who has played GW1, but it's a completely different game - so as someone who's played GW1 since release I had to spend most of the time I played the beta weekend relearning old habits from GW1 such as trying to click on things to attack/interact with them or to walk places.

The only negative thing I saw about it was that some of the Charr NPC names that made me cringe throughout the beta playthrough - it seemed like someone had gotten a (terrible) furry character name generator and used them on 5% of the Charr through the beta explorable areas; "Scout Fursta Farhunter", for example.:P

I guess someone ran out of time (and imagination) on those during development - luckily, it's not that bad. It's just a few characters here and there, as I said. The rest was great fun.

Has it been announced when the next beta weekend is going to be?
