And the Guardian is the biggest disappointment. I really don't find him fun even tho I have awesome chivalrous character ready for such a role. Idk...

I want linear. Yes I said it. I want to be pulled-I don't like wandering around Like a plonker wondering what the Bloody hell is he doing. I Like strong narration and I Like emotion/thought provoking storylines. I see RPGs as a way to make some book/story more interactive at the opportunity cost of intricate details that are fed to you by the art team(in the book you can imagine anything within context-I LOVE that part). Exploration is fine, but I don't want to go somewhere unless MY CHARACTER has a reason to go there-and without story, there is really no reason. That's where Wayfarer/Snowden shine, you see. They pull you Like a magnet, while human zones leave you floating around.

Nay, even races are meh. Humans are weak, deluded and totally unbelievable. Charr shouldn't even be playable-I don't Like them even a single bit(Like feline mix of Orcs and Dwarfs). Asura are smartass and just the type of race I'd punch just for the sake of it(and I am pacifist mind you!). Sylvari are too alien+I don't want to play as mr.Tulip or mrs.Orchif or even more outrageous-mr.Cabbage. The only good race that I can relate to are Norns. For whatever reason. This is coming from an Elf lover and a Knight lover...

Come to think of it-is this game even for me? I mean it has loads of nice ideas, but each of those ideas needs further iteration(Plate mail Crusaders dodging around-just lol!). They have begun the revolution but who will be the Main benefactor of it? Obviously playerbase, but between companies? ANet? Zenimax Online? Trion? Hell even Bli$$ard? In other words-the one who finishes what ANet set out to do...

Big shame.

Me again! This time with a new kind of topic. These are some important things, so do mind your answers.

I am currently at one month of playing and I still don't have what you would call "main" character. But later about that. I have more pressing concerns.

In human starting zones(Queensdale+Kessex Hills) I can't find anything to keep up the pace. Compared to Wayfarer Foothills it is slow as a snail and it even has tracts of terrain where there is NOTHING-well maybe some creep or like that. Again, Wayfarer guide you from one place to the other in a "groundpounding" rhytm-that's what I like. Then again I like humans but the zones are so drab. Are they really so badly designed(haven't tried Charr or Asura starting zones, Caledon Forest is ok)?

In general in PvE I tend to just get stuck and keep doing nothing. I feel like cutting of quests is a bad decision(they should've just thinned them). Hearts are ok, but they should work with quests and not without them. DEs->I don't really like them. They just keep repeating over and over and over again. Nay, they are really bad replacement for quests->they provide just bare context instead of ample descriptions of quests. I LOVE to read and to imagine, I do not like this experience yourself cr@p. Must be personality issue.

What follows when I get stuck is I must basically grind crafting or go do Hearts that are above me(PvP does not interest me in mmos). I should be doing content of my level and not above or below my level. Nay, I feel that ANet has LOOOONG way to go concerning PvE. Is really drab.

Lack of grouping(I don't consider those DE gimmicks grouping) also bothers me very much. I feel like just another DPS, no matter what I spec into. That the skills are balanced around sPvP doesn't help either(use of PvE/PvP skill split would be justified here->I don't want to have skills that inflict 3s of daze with no dmg on a 30+s recharge->that's just stupid).

Concerning classes:

I like mobility, fortitude, condition damage and depth of combat. Versatility is good to have as well. Melee and come and hit me! is a big no no. I don't care if the class is currently UP or OP(well I don't want OP, UP is ok). Are my Norns good match(Ranger, Engineer and Elementalist)?
If so, any other advices(what to try next and what to avoid)?
I have thief but he is the epitome of skill and agility(Black Powder doesn't hurt either :D) and I like him.
Then again I like Knights, hm(maybe I should be Knight in essence and not in form?)...

I'd like you to concentrate on the first issue the most. Because I can't find this PvE enjoyable. Without that I can't play MMORPG. Second part is optional since I have my norns so I am ok. I'd like to hear your thoughts there as well. Overall I like this game, but some segments are really drab and even subpar to the standard MMO tropes.

Thank You!

Now I got the following while trying to re-log:

Login Error: Portal returned error: invalid_request--l_c.rb 94(fangamer:-1)

wtf is going on? Am I being hacked because of their use of proxies(really what kind of n00b uses proxies anyhow?) or are their servers failing?

Their servers are schizo. They keep adressing the wrong ports, communicating with themselves and running in a circle. Shame!

Sorry ArenaNet but even private servers have better performances. Maybe you should do weekly/monthly maintanences?

edit: now it's ok. Talk about moody servers.

I keep getting error 502.

What is that anyhow?

GAH!!!!

What the WAFFLE is wrong with their servers? Can't access the forums lol! I have NEVER experienced not being able to access the forum(someone should get fired ASAP!)...

And to make things worse, I have some pressing issues that I need to talk about.

Colour me not impressed(really you had experiencewith GW1 and with server infrastructure-so what the waffle is wrong now?).
