Ipolygon makes a very good point.

A 2 of having a clue always trumps an ace of reaction time.

Anyway ones 40's are the new 20's :)

I'm not a "twitchy" gamer.  I'm a middle-aged man with questionable reaction time and coordination.  I'm not good at kiting or strafing.  Is there any place for me in GW2, or will I just get mutilated?

i know the feeling bro....i am 37 and sometimes it seems i am getting just a little slower then i used to be :)

I played GW2 beta's and dont worry....try the Warrior as a melee.....if thats still too fast for ya i would recommend playing the ranger......its a very good class if you dont like to kite too much.....you got rooting spells very early so no need to constantly kite things around.

Hope it helps......they say the necro is also pretty good but i didnt realy like it (or maybe i was playing it wrong, i dunno :p )

if my mother who is in her late 50's and is TERRIBLE can do alright with a crappy satelite connection.. you will be fine =D It may be difficult for you to do the harder content like explorable dungeons but enjoying the game wont be too frustrating.

edit: my husband reminded me that she now has DSL now, BUT! it doesnt change her being terrible =P

I wouldnt recomend playing a melee class as that requires quite good reflexes and situational awareness but I imagine youd enjoy the ranged classes such as elementalist/Ranger etc. They are less reflex bound and generally have better survivability.

 

Hope it helps

age have nothing to do (ofc i dont mean a 60 year old guy)

in aion i know a guy who is 50 year old lvl 55 glad who owns ET AP 55 gear kids for breakfast.

I would recommend you try to use a support and control centric build for whatever character you decide to play.

It doesn't require that you have twitch reflexes; it simply requires that you know your opponent (sometimes better than they know themselves :D )

Also, you can craft and play minigames or just hangout :D

GW2 aint a twitchy game at all,

You press TAB you then go through what ever spells you want to shoot at him.

You can do that without pressing tab.

Indeed, tab is optional

If anything you'll become better at dodging and interrupting the more you play.
