yeah, a spirit ranger placing 3-4 spirits up on a group of 20-30 dudes has a massive impact. Especially the Spirit of Nature, who I've seen tank 5 dudes like a champion mob. And you'll absolutely need to kill Nature since it aoe rez every 20 seconds and passively heals. It's definitely OP. I don't think I've seen another elite skill that come close to it
I don't think any other profession has that big of a support impact. Maybe the mesmer with the portal or a guardian at a chokepoint?

I don't see how thieves can be OP in WvWvW but their abilities to escape fights and cap points on other pvp maps is way too much. Besides which, thieves were the only profession to ever come close to killing my spirit ranger in a 1v1 fight. This probably means spirit rangers need to be nerfed.

That beta was freaking awesome. Some frame rate issues, minor bugs and stuff, but holy hell that was a fantastic weekend

lots of bugs though

I spent 2 hours going through Incendio Temple because the event didn't show up only to have the final boss fight bugged out

that and my ranger keeps shotting mobs into the wall

Happy to report I'm very excited for the game after an incredibly fun beta weekend. The fact that there are fights like the shadow of behemoth at such a low level make me excited to see what the future brings.

Had so much fun this weekend. A few things I hope they work on:

-Overflow servers and being able to group with your friends in them. I'm fine going to an overflow server if the server is full, but let me and my friends go to the same overflow server

-Not being able to queue with friends for structured PVP. I understand the reason not to allow it, but it still made me sad

-An indicator for queues. Like the WvW queue.

Overall though, I had a blast. Got a Ranger to 14 or so, decided I don't like how pets function, so I switched to a Warrior and got to 22. I'd played Warrior in the previous beta, and I still love it just as much. Questing with my friends was a lot of fun, questing solo was a lot of fun, WvW was a lot of fun, etc.

I think the most fun though was seeing my friends play it for the first time. So great

I decieded to hold off on the characters that I wanted to play the most, because I wanted to save that excitement for release.

Turns out my thought of "least favorite" is now one of my favorites, though.
The Guardian.
I expected it to be boring but OMG I'm in love.


The beta was the best weekend of my life. I can't wait until official release. <3
