i have about the same experience as cleglaw. plus the fact that my game was very very very jerky & lags so much that i gave up within 20 minutes of play. & this isn't the first time. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />
there is this instance where my character got killed, then ressurected & i saw the carcass of my character drags along all the way to where i last got killed & i see that my corpse can fight. sad to say that corpse got killed. again. what a way to go. yep, cleglaw, that damn scorpions.
i'm glad others have a good time & connection to the game.
mandrake's right about everybody being a noob in guild wars. whatever extra stuff that u want to do such as emotives (i saw some players did that) or creating a group is not as easy as clicking a button (i fail to find that button).
mandrake, u're right, that camera angle (heck it's almost like KOTOR but worse x100) sucks monkey balls. many times i have to time my walk/run right to lure enemies & then kill them in more manageable manners. once u're in combat mode, u cannot change your angle & most of the time your character just won't respond. crap. but then this is still alpha.
& for those who are 56k modem hopefuls, well disipate that hope as it's not as modem friendly as i thought it would be. but then maybe it's just me. *sigh* very sad as the game looks very promising in many ways.
