I'm thinking for my first 5:

Asuran Engineer or Thief (HELP ME CHOOSE THIS ONE), Charr Mesmer, Human Warrior, Norn Guardian, and Sylvari Necromancer

 

[Genx87]

Wow, if they can start it earlier in the night tomorrow the better.

just do not roll engineer and you should be fine

 

[drebo]

I'm thinking that I'll make my main be a Ranger or a Mesmer. Then if I can convince my wife to play, I'll roll a guardian or something to play with her.

Just got my new mechanical keyboard, so it'll be fun to play with that tomorrow. This thing is really nice to type on. Pretty awesome. Recommend it for everyone! $90 at monoprice, with Cherry MX Red switches. Great!

Actually, it's a Monoprice: http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10850&cs_id=1080906&p_id=9181&seq=1&format=2

I did a bunch of research and it was well liked. It's USB, but supports 64KRO, which is nice. I don't remember who actually makes the keyboard, though.

It's really nice, though. And for the price, it's great. Don't care about the backlighting, but I guess it's kinda cool.

engineer is awesome.

silence!

 

[zerocool84]

I think the ele in GW2 makes the best use of the weapon-bound + class slot skill system. You feel like you have nearly 4x as many options as any other class. It's very squishy, but also very fun.

Nice, I can't wait to play it but Friday night I'm going out with the lady and won't be home until Saturday but that should still give me tons of time to play during the weekend.

until you play the other classes...

Then you ask yourself that question why did i roll an engineer when the other classes does what i wanted the engineer from the engineer but better?



Meaning as your first character i wouldnt roll an engie... id go with something that's gonna help you farm the fastest, or help you grind the longest.

Personally im gonna roll a warrior as my first character, as it meets all the wants in my starting character..
1. DPS
2. Survivalbility
3. Solobility
4. Can Farm quickly... (Horn is great for running around.)

However i almost went gaurdian as my first character.
As i said, if u want a character which can quite literally just sit there, the gaurdian is quite awesome.


I wanted to also roll a mesmer, because they are more aesthetically pleasing to look at while grinding.
Same could be said for the elementalist.

The Necro... oh dear lord... dont get me started on the necro... they are massively boring... but if it fits your playstyle, dont let me stop you.


Also whose starting the guild?
Have we decided on the name yet?

Have been looking or a new keyboard just ordered this thanks.

 

[thujone]

so i'm gonna go ahead and commit to playing a mesmer as my main... what professions should i go for?

they released a nice economy infograph today that showed pretty much EVERYONE took jeweler... with tailor and leatherwork tied for 2nd... so i'm guessing jeweler and tailor? artificer might be nice too. not sure.


here's the infographic:

i found warrior to be very lackluster and boring to play. Shame, ti was my main in GW1.

I thought I would hate engineer, but by level 20 it was quite fun, quite versatile, and insanely useful. It's fun, but it takes a bit of planning. Some of the weapon sets I found to be useless early on, so you kind of worry about spending precious skill points on something that you may not enjoy (the toolkit, for example)

No name yet but seems as no one else volunteered earlier, I said I would.

i couldn't really figure out how best to use jeweler--i tried it twice. you start with one recipe, and not much to go on from there. It must be doable, though, as there were a few 100+ leveled jewelers in the Beta guild

I was thinking I would take it as a second skill--something to do with all that copper. either that, or artifice for scepters/staffs

yes that sounds fine to me. (would that be Saturday for you?)

names, anyone?

 

[zinfamous]

um, is fanatical meat around? we could really use some updating to the OP. maybe we should make a new thread for the AT guild, once it's started, just to consolidate info for the guildies?

 

[diesbudt]

Yea ill be on a few times at launch and during sat. to get it setup and invite a few to help invite others. Just wont actually play much till sunday afternoon.

 

[GoodRevrnd]
