Guild Wars 2
Sir Edward:
Got a chance to play some today (left faire early due to rain). Level 10 now.
Ian:
If you dont see me in game or on the internet at all come tomorrow evening for a few days it will mean that Hurricane Isaac has rudely disconnected the power to my county :-\
Sir Edward:
I see you made it into the guild. I couldn't tell if I was inviting you correctly, since there was no feedback from the interface. My brother-in-law is the guild founder, and most of the other folks in there are his co-workers, or people we both know from the renfaire (though I have no idea who is who based on their in-game names).
Wow, up into the 30's already? Nice. :) I think I just hit level 24 last night.
I'm liking the dynamic content system so far. It's a lot nicer than WoW's "collect 15 of X, from these monsters that only drop it 20% of the time, and then kill their leader, where you'll have to stand in line and wait for the respawn"
The environments are beautifully done, and the music is pretty good.
And it was a pretty smooth launch for an MMO. Supposedly they hit over 400k concurrent players on Tuesday.

Yes, the dynamic content is great. Feels way less grindy than other MMOs. I haven't had to do anything other than events/quests to continue smoothly leveling. I bounce back and forth between two zones for me level range and it works out great. I like how even if you 'over-level' content it bumps you back down so not only is it still challenging, but it's still rewarding with XP etc.
The only reason I'm in the 30's is because Hurricane Isaac has given me some unexpected days off from work. Not much flying to do in a hurricane :)
Launch has been nice and smooth for me so far. Only hiccup was the login servers on the launch day, but that was fixed within about an hour or so. I see people complaining about the AH being down, but I could really care less at this point. I don't need to AH gear at level 30.... Totally enjoying the experience right now!
Have you dabbled with any World v World v World yet?
Sir Edward:
Yeah, the login servers were having issues for several hours in the early morning hours on Saturday, but I haven't seen much beyond that.
I do sort-of wish the AH was up and running, but it's not a big deal. I usually can get a decent amount of money buy gathering and then selling the materials. Often that works better for me than grinding out a crafting skill (I usually end up regretting the grind later, due to the costs and the money I could have had from just selling the materials).
Speaking of crafting... I assume you already have all 8-slot storage bags/boxes or better by now. But if not, I made some 8-slot boxes and have extras.
I haven't tried any of the PVP yet, I usually save that for closer to end-game as I use up the PVE content. But I may give it a shot sooner or later, since I think it level-balances you there too.
I started running into issues last night with dying a lot, but I've been sticking to one zone, and ended up doing content 3 or 4 levels above me. I finally finished the zone and hit level 24, and the next zone over is another 15-25 zone, so it looks like I'll be having smooth sailing for a while again (I should have bounced back and forth, but wasn't thinking that way). As long as the content is level appropriate, I tend not to die much. The warrior is pretty survivable, and versatile (though it looks like all of the classes are versatile in this game).
I'm actually glad I chose the Warrior. I can spec myself for DPS, and wear the heavier armors, and the longbow is full of fire and explosive arrows. :)
