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

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.

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?

April 1st.
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.

I'm good with Copper. Sarja Coppershrike seems like a good name for my charr hunter.

Is Copper a racial specific clan name?

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.
:winky:

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.
THIS GUY!
I don't really play alts much at all... just one main character.

And damn it, now I want the digital deluxe edition >.<. I wonder if there's a way to upgrade.
And with healing changed, now I have to figure out a new Ele wuvwuv spec. I had a pretty badass healer for a game with no healers... >.>
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.
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.
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.
Did you have smart-cast turned on?
Fantastic! Thanks for the info. We're all super excited to get playing. The launch date cannot come fast enough.

Canadian pennies are also being discontinued the month after Guild Wars 2 launches, but when did something being in the past ever stop the Charr?
