How was the stress test for you?

Personally I was impressed how stable it was once the game was up for an hour or two. I was smooth ingame in Arenas and had a good time. I'm happy I finally decided on a class, and can't wait to get back in.

WvWvW looked beautiful, that is definately a source for the next weekend.

Overall I would say I am much more hyped after last night, alot of impressive parts to the game, and I've sampled very little. To think the majority of time of the game I've played through weekends and time spent has largely been based getting my head around the different classes. It's amazing how much there is, and I'm only skimming the surface!

What about you guys?

I'm pretty sure I'm still going for Ranger as the first class I'm going to play. Very much interested in maybe rolling a Mesmer and Necro somewhere along the line. And the Guardian I find quite a challenge to play well. So I might try that one a bit more as well. Both the Guardian and the Necro are very much support classes, it seems. The Guardian has a lot of support for your group (it feels like a mix of Prot Monk and Smite Monk and Hammer Warrior from GW1) and the Necro can seriously mess up enemies by debuffing them and putting DoTs on them. Necro would be awesome for pressure builds.

It's a pitty the store didn't work for quite some time. I couldn't switch servers at the beginning. Tried to find the guild group on the map in WvWvW, but alas, we were on different maps. Was fun to go into those matches though. Not sure what kind of mode it was, but it felt like a mix of Random Arenas and Alliance Battles from GW1.

I was amazed that it was actually playable. I thought I would be able to play a lot less and maybe spend half the evening in the login screen.

I'm really looking forward to next BWE. I hope it's going to be soon!

Things on my to-do list:

- make (a) videos of all the skills of at least one class, so I can watch it later. I REALLY want to be able to start recognizing some of the skills soon.

Something like this:

But it's this YouTube code: /watch?v=Uxen8epVV0Q

But I would prefer this on dummies.

- do some more WvWvW. Barely touched it yet
- hopefully try some 5vs5 when it's in next time

Need to work on my dodging. Too much random barrell rolling about as of now. Also, hope they make it so that, if you change the keybinds to skills, they display the bind on the action bar. I kept forgetting my altered binds for 7 and higher. >.>

On my current to do list: Edit and upload the three video's I made last night. Mind you, my ele vid was with double dagger, and it doesn't seem to work as well for me as scepter/dagger does. It's probably because I've always been a ranged class kind of guy and thus am not used to sticking close to my foe all the time. Next time I'll have to make one of that build.
