God.

Been playing WoW too much. Logged on my monk the other day for some random arena's and absolutely failed, seems my WoH build isn't enough for these days.

Can't wait till this is released. I spent 2500 on GW1 before I burned out and now WoW is getting a tad boring, so could do with this ASAP

I wasn't that impressed with rangers and for some reason I think they could be taking the assassin role ( the last scene sorta left it open ).

Thing is, Mesmer & Assassin are pretty much confirmed.

The last 3 Profession have been using the same Concept Art Style.

Spoiler!

Whats left?
Black one is obviously an Assassin/Rogue.
Purple one is also obviously the Mesmer.
Light Blue one is one of the new profession. Many speculation on fansite claims it would be some kind of Paladin/War Cleric/Battle Priest,etc.

Now thats 6/8. That being said, that may leave room for another brand new profession and possibly the Necromancer(maybe merged with the Ritualist) so he control both Spirits & Flesh. Also in the GW2 Book "Ghost of Ascalon",one of the characters is a Sylvari Necromancer.

So lets take A.Net word when they said there would be 2 Soldier Class,3 Adventurers and 3 Scholars.

Scholar
- Elementalist ; Officialy Confirmed
- Mesmer ; Strongly hinted,using the same concept art as the previous released profession
- Necromancer ; Hinted in the GW2 novel

Adventurer
- Ranger ; Officialy Confirmed
- Assassin ; Strongly hinted,using the same concept art as the previous released profession
- < New Profession > ; Random guess here,probably one of the new professions

Soldier
- Warrior ; Officialy Confirmed
- < Priest/Paladin > ; Strong speculation plus using same concept art as previous released profession. The lady is wielding a mace and has a light blue color,hinting its a "holy themed" profession.

And yes,I'm bored.

Im not sold that there will be a mesmer yet just by looking at concept art.

Edit: Just watched the ranger skill vid and it was awesome, serpent sting and whirling defense :dope:

Love it,Lv56-57 = Lv79-80. Although it still looks like a big number,at least people will know how actually play their profession this time :palm:

(points at wannabe-Reapers Dervish with Avatar of Baltha).

This also means, 80 LEVELS OF STORYLINE,**** YEAH.

I like how they just ruined what made GW unique in the first place.

Maybe you didn't read or saw the chart? It basically takes the same time to go Lv19-20 then lv67-68. They insisted on the fact that even if there's 80 Levels,it won't feel as a grind. Every MMO says that but they actually make it so all the levels take the same amount of time(almost).

What made GW unique? Short time to reach cap,and while your reaching that goal you play through a storyline. Same for GW2,short time to reach cap and while reaching that goal you play through the storyline.

If it doesn't take forever to get to level 80 then why bother in the first place?

They had to please the PvE WoW Carebears by giving them a number high enough to feel like they achieved something :soosad:

I think they are trying to be a more "serious MMO" but tbh I am also not crazy about the many things I loved in GW1 going.

Yeah,on one side they wanna please their fans(GW1 players) by keeping a fair amount of its features,on another side its a brand new game. They are thinking "big",they wanna get as many new players as possible.

I trust them though, I mean these skills look good, and it's been anticipated for a while now.

I'm guessing Necromancer or Mesmer because they are Scholars. And so far they've done Scholar->Soldier->Adventurer.
