    What are some of the things you guys liked about the BWE (Beta Week End)? What are some of the things you guys didnt like?

    Cons:
    Im going to cover first, what I didnt like. Mostly stems from playing my necromancer, my minions sucked so bad. I realize this was intended, since we cant have spamancers just walking around with an army, destroying everything in sight. However, I'd like them to have just alittle more health and armor... pls, just alittle bit. Kinda sux when ur minions get one-shotted over and over again, makes you feel like you wasted a skill slot.
    While Im pleased as punch that it is a difficult game, that doesnt hold your hand, it gets alittle annoying when your plate-armor wearing, epic hero gets one-shotted by 'x' random move. And we're not talking about the slow, "Hey, get out of the way! Theres a big red circle underneath you... HEY!" kinda move, just a random normal ability that'll just floor your guy within a second's notice.

    Pros:
    ...Everything else.

    WvW pop caps, changing servers was broken for day one, some of the early human story instances were lame.

    Other than that pvp was better than i expected. I had epic moments in the WvW. Dynamic quests were fun. Getting a dungeon group seems hard but maybe ive not figured it out yet.

    Warrior was better than i expected.
    Guardian really exceeded my expectations by a Lot!
    Ranger was actually better pvp than i thought.

    Thief has too much recuperation time. I think they built it as a hit and run artist.

    Still to test... mez/ele at a minimum.

    I enjoyed the game a lot over the weekend. I did not like the lag/rubber banding as well as the ability delay that came with it, really not fun for anyone when that happens.


    That asside, my only gripe was the game feels a little too spammy.

    Some classes can sit and spam 3 abilities over and over and do tons of damage whereas other classes such as the Engineer has to work twice as hard to pull off some of the stuff those other easier to play classes could with 3 buttons.


    Apart from that, I thought it was a very enjoyable experience.

    I thought the game was great all in all. I had a few lag issues, but my only real grievance with it was that when playing a ranger, you have to press a button to send your pet in and it doesn't do it automatically, and so on several instances I forgot to even use my pet.

    I really wish your pet was optional. I barely noticed whenever it was dead or not. I found myself only res'ing my pet, coz I didnt feel like seeing the "revive" option get in the way of me looting.

    Imo beta weekend is short :/ though it is a beta weekend.

    Also servers were very laggy and almost always had queues

    I played a mesmer and felt the clones/phantasm were really... too weak :/
