What we did this week

Celeste:

  • character creator made me want to play as an asuran but I’m really not suited toward that race
  • sylvari ele felt way too squishy
  • jump puzzles
  • xapp, kipff, and zoyd
  • ranger finally clicked and felt effective
  • optimization issues

Chris:

  • Beta Weekend was fun!
  • A few videos up on the site from the beta weekend.
  • I think that Asura Warrior will be my launch class, with Asura engineer as my WuvWuv class. Had a ton of fun with both for the weekend.
  • End of beta event – fun, but somewhat lackluster. That being said, WAY better than just turning the server off at the end of the beta.
  • Also tried necro, thief as well, but just didn’t click with me as well as warrior did.

Ask An Asuran

Tengu as a playable race expansion – well established, have their own city already, near the other “birth” places of the 2 races, influenced by destroyers, unique character models, and something very different http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Tengu
