I usually avoid the 'small' race because they often come across as too cartoony and comic relief-ish. But I'll be damned if the idea of making an Asura Engineer doesn't sound awesome.
Lettuce Tits Robber.
Ok so it sounds like GAF is gonna be making a guild for this. Anyone decide on what class/race they'll be playing first?
I'm torn between Necro and Elementalist right now. Though that Yogcast vid going through necro skills started to sway me toward necro... (Minion master build is back ) still remember rune farming back in vanilla GW as a MM
Doesn't change the fact that your presence is mostly going to be the same as if there was no downed state character. At best the other team will know they have enough HP, go in there, rez, and then heal. So your presence made somebody burn a heal. If they don't have the HP, they will just ignore the teammate. There's really no big depth to this system even when everyone is coming up with usable scenarios. Most of these scenarios require boneheaded moves by the opposition.
It's just hacky. I can't think of a single positive thing about it in PvP. They should go straight into defeated and bleed out. A teammate can rez them if they make it in time. Done. Scrap this "works great in other modes but no this one" system. I'll just leave it at that until I play it.
Side benefit is Asura/Guardian combo will likely be very under represented as it's not what one would expect for that race at all.
So apparently I have a mistake, or I've signed up for the beta three times on the same gmail, as I've gotten three signed up confirms. Wut?

My excitment level is unreal for this game. If I had to put it in perspective it would be between my love for one of Retro's puns to 1000. Somewhere in the middle there.
Asura Guardian reminds me of this gif, they have some crazy animations.
Unless you're a sylvari thief; then expect to see a clone of you every few feet unless there's some drastic change from every other MMO ever.
See, I think a lot of people will be turned off from the Sylvari because they're just too leafy looking. If anything, I expect to see Charr everywhere.
Edit: Unrelated: I need to stop refreshing this thread and give posts I want to reply to some time to sit, seems like every third post is mine on this page. Jira is still the Post Count King though.
Charr don't really click with me because their home city looks somewhat unappealing.
Seeing as you get a district of your home city as your own private instance for story quests and other funstuff, I want it to be awesome, and Divinity's Reach looks too gorgeous to ignore.
I'll probably make one character of each race though, so i'll get to see it eventually.

...However, when Guild Wars 2 is released, your original Guild Wars character names will be reserved for you.
Gw1 allowed you to make a name that consisted of multiple words (with a character limit, mind you). I think GW2 also does this. That's not to say a ton of names weren't taken already thoughGood news for you GW vets. Kind of irks me though. Names are hard enough to get to be playing favorites.
One of the main reasons my first character will (at least I think) be a human. Divinity's reach looks fucking amazing, and the surrounding areas (grasslands) give me some pre-searing GW1 vibes, which brings back memories.Charr don't really click with me because their home city looks somewhat unappealing.

I was thinking of doing this too. It's kind of hard not to considering how valuable later year birthday presents are in GW1 now. I can always delete the characters later anyway.I'm going to create all 5 from the start to get the clock rolling on any birthday presents ArenaNet puts into GW2, though.
Here's some random Human Guardian gameplay. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ca2qc9o842U
He went over to the Charr's low level zone and is fighting harpies much of the time. He's bad enough that I took enjoyment from his torture, but he did put up a decent fight.

Gw1 only alllowed 2 or more word names. GW2 allows 1 word, so there's still a large amout left over. Considering many mmo's only allow one word anyways.

I should go ahead and reinstall GW now....
Also Retro, do you think you and your wife would want to run with me and my GF as a couples group in the beta? It would be fun!
Fat load of good that'll do you, most of the multi-word names are already taken. Probably better off going for one word or think of a really awesome and unique multi-word name.
Gaf Guild should be called Elementalist Haven seeing as 95% of us are rolling an ele first, including myself.

dota 2 and lol gaf use "NeoGaf" as chat/guild names why can't we just keep it that way here too =/Actually, that's a good point, what should the GAF guild be named? Obviously the abbreviation should be "GAF", but the actual name should be something mildly amusing, not too inside, but not offensively unfunny.

I wrote a longer response but I'll keep it simple. You are barely affecting the status quo with your scenarios. The best you are doing is delaying. That's weak. And we'll just have to agree to disagree at this point.If they ignore the teammate, then the teammate is dead. You're preventing the revive, and the teammate will have to deal with what's still essentially a lengthened respawn timer.
Your negativity is more than welcome in the guild
Not saying that you're wrong of course lol
Also I was thinking of keeping it simple honestly. NeoGAF is straight and to the point. We could always do a cool, spunky name if it really works but NeoGAF sounds fine.

GAF guilds don't last long. I'd be surprised if this is the exception.

Every guild gets to pick a 3 letter abbreviation though, so it honestly wouldn't matter, everyone will have [GAF] in front of their names anyway.
