	Looked up some other game-play videos. I think I will like being able to move and not having things punch me from 20 feet away. Question. What class tends to be in the most demand? Or does it not matter?

	Been playing GW2 for a about a week now and my hunter seems to work a lot like my hunter in WoW (which i leveld to 80 one summer long ago). In fact a lot seems to be standard mmo mechanics, like the crafting system (at least so far), the pet system, the banking system, so on and so forth. That being said, the game seems to be relatively bug free, no lag, and I think the event system is awesome (ie random strangers all helping to beat down a boss, escort an NPC or complete a skill challenge and no one gets screwed for xp/loot) The personal story instances is cool too. Some cons - graphics, although better than WoW, arent anywhere near DDO. Kinda feels like i've been there done that - Nothing really groundbreaking. A nice diversion from DDO now and again. Edit: And they did a good job, as stated above, letting each class be self sufficient and be able to heal themselves, do damage, etc...

Nice. How about using the terrain to your advantage and stuff like that?

Double tapping any direction key causes you to do a tumble in that direction and evade the incoming attack. Using the terrain to your advantage comes in pretty big in PvP.

	I just had a contract come in! I'm finally employed! Now I will be able to afford a computer capable of playing games newer then 6 years old & play GW2! I don't care if I have a hour long commute. Well... There are other priorities... But eventually.

	majmalphunktion wrote on Apr 26^th, 2014 at 11:06pm: Wow, you love me. There has been two big lag fixes in the past week. No, those are not going out with a hotfix. They are more wide ranging and take more time to test. Of course every time you get like this, I keep wondering where your MMO is so I can play it. Obviously you know excatly how to piece one of these together. I can't keep apologizing a gazillion times for the back end tech and things people did on this game before I was even an employee. So one last time, yes some of the stuff from the before times sucks. Sorry about that. Yes we know, stop building new systems. Yes we know, finish the ones out there. Yes we know you hate bards. And screw you for bringing up the laid off folks. That sucks every time. I made sure all my people landed in other jobs real quick. None of my 'casualties' are unemployed, just sadly not employed by Turbine. Every business goes through this.Even Valve has layoffs. It sucks every time. If you haven't had to do it then you just don't know. Picking people and knowing you are about to turn their life upside down is terrible, every time. Not giving a bleep. No, I stop listening when the bile starts. Not worth my sanity. You know my rule, treat me like a human and I'll do the same back. When the rage train starts...cya. So here is my peace out of the vault for a while. Thanks for the list Ranger, that was actually clear and helpful.

In other news, I won a $100 gift card. Perhaps I will give GW2 a whirl. One time up front $60 and that's it, or is there a recurring monthly charge to play online?

That is all the money you need to front - well besides your internet bill, computer, and living expenses. For the truly unfortunate, gas to get to and from work to pay for food, water, and internet.

	Boring > your 1-12. Fanboi fag. stainer wrote on Sep 12^th, 2012 at 11:58am: 1. No lag. 2. You are lvl 45 and your friend is lvl 7. No problem. The game fixes that for you. No changing characters. 3. No one on in your guild? No problem. There is tons of shit you can do solo. 4. This company cares about their product. 5. No lag. 6. Shit works. 7. Underwater combat that is realistic. 8. No lag. 9. No voice chat, so if NancyPDoyle is in your group, you don't have to turn off your sound, or give her your vent info. 10. No lag. 11. Shit works. 12. No lag.

It is like my weakness, they say ingame bonuses, and I just say sold. I don't even care to hear what they are, just gimme gimme gimme. That being said, it doesn't give you anything. A stupid summon you cannot use until level 30, which is crap. A little minipet, which can only get that way, but it doesn't do anything. I don't even summon mine since it isn't on a hotbar. It gives a couple other little trinkets, that really make no difference at all once you play the game. So in short, no, but I can't help myself.
