I'll be on EU Seafarer's Rest with a guild from /vg/. They're very friendly and helpful people. I'm incredibly excited. This game seems to fix every problem I had with WoW.
And the launch time is pretty good for Finland. Officially the head start begins 10 a.m. tomorrow, but as Arenanet said...
We've gotten a ton of that. Just no official announcement.
"These things... They take time."
"When we do announce something, we want to do it in out own way." (or something like that)
And something about the storyline being so massive they want to think carefully what they do with it.
Just pre-purchased the box version with the serial key. I'm SO excited.
I've played WoW since January 2007 until last year (with occasional breaks) and nowadays I don't like the game. Guild Wars 2 seems to be exactly the MMO for me. Can't wait.
Yes, I didn't mean that melee-only combat would be truly more challenging - it's nothing but running close to your enemy and spamming M1 and stimpaks. A lot of things just mess you up completely. Like Deathclaws.
My impression is that Skyrim gets a lot more hate than Oblivion. As it should.
The only way I can enjoy Fallout 3 and New Vegas is going melee-only. Combat is challenging but has no strategy, but at least it's fun as hell and you have loadsa caps from selling all ammo you have.
