I was going to play GW2, but now RAMPY is making fun of my beautiful armor, I tend to reconsider playing it
My hunch is that they mixed armor, and that the 'real' armor will be in the actual release(I do hope), else I put a paper bag over my face when playing
I did put up some cons and pros of the game as I experienced it, most are already mentioned before.
cons:
-Targeting system, the lack of it
- Missing the double clicking an NPC to go there. So the basic controls which made GW1 special is gone and changed into the every other similar kind of gametype
like AION, DDO, etc. in there we just put up with it, as GW2 is comming and now GW2 has gone the same path
-Texture glitches, my characters behind appeared through the jacket she was wearing (must be some butt being able to stretch the texture like that

)
-To my knowledge, my Thief character was wearing an Engineering suite, which was in anyways ugly (as pointed out by Mr. RampantBunny

)
-The animations of spell-cast-effects are nice, but in a group of 15 to 20 players, it's complete chaos, and can't see anything anymore.
- Graphics in high res are still not stunning, that was until I got to Lion's Arch. To bad the dev's didn't think of first entrance make the first impression

- foes do not appear as red dots any more, Silke and Eve will be so not pleased by this.
- missing the mini-map (u-map)
- I can't dance anymore, I can't dance in reallife, and now it's disabled in this little twisted game too
pros:
- Character customization is very detailed
- Event system is very nice, and easy to follow
- not having to turn in a quest is very handy, as is the email system for rewards
- Lion's Arch is indeed a real work of art
- dodging attacks is a nice find to get out of a fight (though I hardly used it, I'd rather die and revive)
- the revive thing is nice, except when dying the target suddenly changes, and not the nearly dead foe is the target anymore
- the personal story line, although not being that personal, is nice
- the party system needs a boost in handling, only from certain points you can travel together to other way points, apart from that you can see where other party members are on the map outside your radar circle
- the trader is a nice thing, to sell even if you're not online.
To sum it all up, at the start of the game, with creating the toon, I was thrilled, a lot of details can be set, and all. But then when the game starts (after 42:58:34), I got dissapointed by the graphics at the spawn.
It just looked like Eye of the North and even more simple, it just took me the next day to get the feel and learn to appreciate the game. They should have spend more effort into the entrance of GW2, as I needed quite some time to get over the dissapointment of the start of the game. The game isn't finished yet, and hopefully the surveys will get the game in the right direction (the direction we like).
Can't wait till the next beta weekend(they should make it a beta Week), who needs sleep after all
