Main problem i have is the cool looking shit is tied to the caah shop
Quite a lot of endgame. But no perpetual gear tier grind, to give the illusion of endgame. That's why it's a great game.

Yeah, I'm probably not going to play this game again. It's unique feature was that it was B2P and wasn't pay2win. With those changes to gem conversions a while ago and now this, I see where there heads are at and I want no part in it.I'm going to assume they added even more random F2P garbage compared to what was in the paid game before?

Unless you enjoy gear "grind" (which one people hit raiding in most mmos isn't a grind any more, instead it's basically an evening playing games with friends) in which case the game is pretty awful.
I don't play mmos for their story. I don't want to be one of these thousands of special snowflake people who have all saved the world simultaneously. If developers want to make a story focused game they should make a single player game. In my opinion, Guild wars 2s only saving grace was it's incredible combat and pvp.
any veteran reward or bonus?
great game. terrible end game
What do they mean by selected item list in trading post restriction?

Eh, I've yet to find anything personally on the cash shop that looks nice to me (it's all rather guady), except for the Explorer Outfit. So I made some in-game gold, and bought it with that. At least you *can* avoid spending any real money, by just converting gold to gems.

Mine is almost downloaded. Can't wait to give this a try.
What server will people be on?
Server only really matters for World vs. World. You can join any player in any map regardless of what server they're on with one exception; North America and Europe are on different data centers, so you won't be able to play with folks on NA servers if you're on a Euro one and vice-versa.
Otherwise, you can right-click a party member's portrait and select "Join in..." and you can jump to whatever copy of the zone they're in. Eventually the game's Megaserver system will weigh who your friends / guildmates are and start putting you in maps with them automatically. Guilds are cross-server as well (and you can belong to up to 5 at once too). If all of that fails, you can also manually pick which server you're playing on temporarily by selecting the "Guest" option from the character select screen. No transfer fees or anything.
Having said all of that, the GAF Guild plays on Stormbluff Isle (NA), but we have people scattered all over due to their WvW preferences. For what it's worth, SBI is a middle tier server; neither ultra competitive nor inactive.
about how big is the download?
Thanks for clearing that up! Looks like I'm going to Stormbluff.

Don't freak-out if you're swarmed by people when you get out of the little bit of story when you create your character, there are 'welcome parties' in every starting zone right now
This was one thing that annoyed me when I got back into the game last April, seeing that every new full armor skin in the game so far at the time was only available in the gem store, but the thing is they started making changes in that regard.
There won't be any full set of armor in the gem store anymore, they will all be obtainable in-game like the armor they introduced with Living Story season 2.
They will instead focus on outfits, that are (usually silly) full body costumes that you can't mix and match like armor, and specific skin pieces.
Black Lion weapons aren't an issue since you can get them on the trading post for in game gold.
The rest, is absolutely and completely optional.
would like to see how raids turn out.
is there a list/explanation of specializations or have they not announced/talked about them all yet
any veteran reward or bonus?
It would've been nice for those us who played before to get maybe a $10 credit on the store. I kinda wanted to buy some character outfits in the store, but after seeing a single outfit cost $7-$10, I had to nope out of there.
there is something about the movement speed, it feels soooo slow
Downloading now but anyone know the best setup or class or items or whatever to make an angelic/holy warrior type character?

This is pretty cool. I've always wanted to try Guild Wars, and now I've got my shot.
So anyone can join up - even if you're fresh out of the box?

Its more of a trial than a f2p model...
Still with no subscription you only need to pay for the game once!

As far as looks goes, any heavy class wil fit the 'warrior' look, and you can make it look angelic with armor pieces and dyes if you want.
For the class, Guardian is the one that will fit this role best, as it's kind of the closest to a paladin.
Race has no influence at all so pick what you like best.
I wonder how bad the refunds hurt them. I bought the game earlier in the year, and got to about level 50 (I think?) and just burnt out before the end game.
I'm not going to lie, I jumped at the chance to get my £12 refunded back to me when they offered it when the expansion was announced
Certain races (charr and norn) feel "slower" than other races, despite moving at the same pace. Try playing an asura, or use Movement Speed boosts (like signets that improve it, available on classes like thief and elementalist).

Don't worry, gem store items surely have covered those losses more than enough ..... those damn wing backpack skins ..... damn wings everywhere .....
Yup, it is a Norn
I'll try the asura later and see how that feels
