Not feelin it



I'm just somehow not very excited for this BWE. Last time I played through the whole beta without even sleep breaks, but this time it just doesn't feel exciting. Nothing I do this weekend will matter on Monday. I'll just have to start again next month. The new races were fun for a few hours, but while the Sylvari look cool, their story doesn't strike a chord with me. And while I love the idea of the Asura, I can't get past the fact they look like the children of Yoda and his Dachshund.

Am I nuts?

We will endure.

Do us a favor and take sleep breaks when you play games. If you don't sleep you will cause your heart strain coupled with energy drinks and caffeine, it can be very taxing on your heart and might lead to you going to the hospital or worse.

Other than not sleeping during the betas, I don't think you are crazy. So people are put off by the fact that their characters will be deleted. It is perfectly natural to not want to play that much in beta since you want what you do to count.

I love what they did with the Asura and Sylvari. The vistas and jumping puzzles in the game are amazing. I keep on looking for reasons to dislike this game but I can't seem to find any, other than the fact that there is too much to do.

I actually finally started liking pvp in GW2, that's what I am doing now :D

An inflated sense of self-importance deflects us from the inner peace and happines we seek and affec

What started the wave of BWEs? Every game seems to do these now instead of having just a plain old beta. Why not let us play for a week or two? BWEs don't make much sense to me, because the same stuff gets tested every time. I just feel like more gets done with a regular beta schedule.

Hoping for TESO Beta!

They do have a regular beta. BWE are just for those that don't get in the normal ones. It is also a "reward" for those that pre-purchased the game.

I wasn't really feeling it either for the 30 min I played. Sure that was nowhere near the amount of time necessary to really get a feel for the game (I should know, I started and stopped World of Warcraft nearly 3 times before I finally got hooked). Luckily the game does not charge a monthly fee, so one-time purchase won't break the bank. Honestly i'll wait till the initial hype dies down and some substantiated reviews come out about the future of the game. If I didn't like Blizzard and the Diablo franchise I might have done the same with D3 and learned that it wasn't quite the game everyone was hoping it would be.

In WoW, even waiting nearly 2 years after initial release gave me enough time to be nearly ready for the Burning Crusade expansion. Waiting 3-4 months after GW:2 release shouldn't be detrimental to my enjoyment of the game either!

I kinda didn't enjoy much either and that's because i knew that there's no point in struggling since all my characters will get wiped, so i made 5 different race/class combos which i pvp'd and quested a few. Overall i liked it, however i did not set my mind on doing something great, since i would just have to do it again in 1 week. I decided i'm going Norn female warrior though.

Hesitation is the seed of defeat.

i was more exploring and do some quests, but was not focused on it since i knew the chars will be wiped again.
But i took the time to try out the Asura and the Sylvari.

Idk, from the hour a two that I played I just couldn't get into it, but I could see why people liked it. Might still try it when it comes out since there is no monthly fee
