    The end of that video was a little disappointing, I was hoping she'd punt Mini-Charr for great justice.

    Also, how viable would a Banner/Shout Warrior build be? Sword/Warhorn. I need to go soon, but I'll add a build link later in the day. Was thinking of trying to build kinda a LOTRO Captain for WvWvW.

    @Klyka Hey, check out the video I just posted when you get a sec. I wanna hear how it compares to YOUR Batman thief.

    Will do in a bit.
    Edit: Ok I watched it. It's very different from my Thief. I'm not a big fan of pistol in off-hand. Your utility skills are cool, I dabbled with them too, but I like using my venoms to damage/immobilize and also heal myself.
    With dagger in off-hand I don't really need a stealth utility skill, I have cloak & dagger (which even had it's cost lowered now! YES!) for that.
    I like using the shortbow in WvWvW but so far it hasn't really clicked with me in sPvP.
    Also, I really should have taken a video by now but I keep forgetting! From your video it's pretty clear that we have a very different playstyle, so it's hard to compare!


    Also, all you Thieves, you know you can't cap a point in stealth, right?

    Edit: And another thing: FUCK HEARTSEEKER. That skill is so bugged, holy shit. I swear, 3 out of 5 times it misses.

    I feel like pistol 4 and 5 abilities are weaker to compensate for their great combo skills - pistol whip and shadow shot are both incredible tools. I agree that Heartseeker is a little wonky to use unless you're right behind your target; but I generally only use it as a finisher so it works for me. Cloak and dagger and shadow strike I find a little harder to land, which is why I only really use pistol + dagger in teamfights for cripple and vulnerability.

    That stealth build does look very fun, I think I might try a more offensive take on it.

    Very viable. I tried it out for kicks in the stresstest before last and it was pretty fun! Just don't expect to do tooooo much killing yourself, instead you'll watch the people around you kill everything :D

    I don't think any stealth abilities last longer than three or four seconds

    Using combo fields you can get stealth to stack so theoretically a whole group can run around in stealth for like a minute!

    I spent 2 hours just in the character creator and already had more fun than most of the last few MMO's I've played.

    I'll definitely be rolling an Asura Engineer for a main. And probably a Human Thief or Elementalist.

    My name was taken last night, though. Debating on waking up early to try and get it.

    I think I'll run with you fine gents if you'll have me. Most likely have an engine and a guardian. Maybe a thief.

    Just saw a wallpaper for a Commando class on the GW2 website.

    This makes me curious as the sole reason I've picked Engineer as main, and possibly thief as an alt are the guns.

    What's the story there?

    It was an april fools joke. It will not be a real class in the game outside of the possibility that the GMs might use it to ban someone.

    Mostly just huntin' monsters.

    @Arch I was just browsing the wiki's "Recent Changes" and noticed the command line args page. Apparently adding "-perf" will cause the client to display a few different performance stats.
    I've had that on since BWE3, and haven't noticed any changes or additional stats. But maybe I'm missing something.
    Arch was wondering how to display FPS in-game. I was just pointing out the somewhat obscure option to enable that feature, which you've apparently been enjoying for a while already. So, nope, nothing to miss :)

    Ah, I thought people were seeing the FPS w/o having the -perf option on. I'll have to try removing it next stress test to see if I still have the FPS monitor in the options menu.

    @Beltaine: Yes, kind of. Charr are named for their warband and we thought it would be kind of fun to play along with the convention. Copper warband hoooo!

    Charr tend to use Warband+noun or Verb+warband as their last names. So there's been talk of having a (totally optional!) Penny-Arcade specific warband name, and Copper was suggested because pennies are made of copper.

    Not much for creating alts either but I am really conflicted as to what kind of profession I want to play so not sure if I should try a couple before I decide or just pick one and hope it's the right one.

    Per the GW2 Twitter, there will be a way to upgrade to digital deluxe post-launch.

    No, I am not going to search for the specific tweet.

    Quick question regarding starting zones.
    At launch, if my four friends and I all start characters of different races. Do we have to play through our starting zones solo, or could we all travel to a starting zone of our choosing and just play there? If that's possible, would there be any drawbacks to that?
    I played a bit in the most recent beta weekend, and I never really left the Sylvari area (didn't have much time to play), but I know there were portals and such that I could have left if I'd wanted to.

    You need to finish your tutorial instance, but that can take as little as five minutes. As soon as you're ejected out into the world, you can walk to the asura gate in your racial capital, which ports you to Lion's Arch. From there you can take the corresponding portal to your friends' racial cities and join them, all for the price of absolutely nothing and all at level 2 (the level you will typically be after completing your tutorial).

    Alternatively you can port to the Mists from anywhere under the tab in your Hero window, and from there take the portal to Lion's Arch.

    No drawbacks apart from having to spend time playing the game alongside people you know, and who'd want to do that?

    You can very easily and quickly travel to your friends starting zone. You can even particpate in their story quests with them. The only downside is your story quests will be in your starter zone but that's barely a downside as you can quickly teleport back there and then go through THOSE with your friends.

    Question regarding engineers.

    Engineers can throw sticky glue on the ground for the cripple effect. Is that supposed to have a target reticule where I can throw it anywhere near me? Every time I press it I don't get a reticule and I just throw it on the ground. It has a small reticule over the key map itself. Do I get this past level 20? I was only level 13.

    Tried building a defensive shout warrior. Tried to make it so I could find a target and stick to it like glue (god damned thieves). Using Axe for chasing targets down, and hammer once I catch em. Rune of the soldier so my shouts are my method of condition removal. One thing I'm unsure of, since my shouts remove conditions, does that mean "Shake It Off" will now remove two conditions?

    Build here.

    I already miss the rifle.
