Guild Wars 2

I'm following them on Facebook. Getting lots of great info from it. I finally DL'd GW1 trial. Its pretty fun. The Necromancer job is very involved, but on the other hand Warrior was kinda boring.

a question... can the game be played using a controller like ff11? im so used to that style i have a hard time using the hotkeys and whatnot. (mainly a console player, but since its not going to a console i better learn quick)

Flion have you seen the GW2 tracker?
where you unlock things in the first one to get items in gw2 at launch?
I have a friend who wants to unlock those kinda things maybe some ffxiah people may be interested and we could all team up.

id be down for that

Some of the ones require beating all campaigns on regular and the extreme difficulty XD so we would need a balance of jobs but that would be the easier part

Im confused with GWs Monk, its not like FF11 mnk right? i havent made a monk yet so im just guessing its more of a whm

was a fast based CORPG (Co-operative RPG)

There's this badass human adventurer guy around the time of Guild Wars 1, maybe a bit later. On his adventures, he finds a weird magical seed and takes it home with him. Only he arrives home to find his entire village brutally slaughtered by centaurs. He respectfully buries all the dead and plants his magic seed in the middle of the burial ground as a memorial. Naturally, a tree begins to grow from it.

So he goes on a new quest for vengeance, except along the way he meets an awesome centaur named Ventari. He and Ventari become bros and work towards a common goal. Ventari tries to unite the centaur tribes under a peaceful banner, while the human kills the ***out of any tribes who won't drop their barbaric ways. Eventually, the human dies of old age, while Ventari lives on for a few more decades. Soon, he grows old as well, and as one of his last acts, he carves a tablet containing the 7 most important lessons he's learned in his life, and leaves it at the base of the memorial tree before heading off to die.

Flash forward a century or so. Turns out that tree is way more magical than anyone realized. It's actually a sentient being called the Pale Tree, and it realizes that the entire planet is getting buttfucked by Elder Dragons. In an effort to help the races of Tyria in their battle, it begins to create the Sylvari, using the human and centaur corpses upon which it was built as templates. 25 years before the events of Guild Wars 2, the 12 Firstborn emerge, and begin to seek their destiny in the world.

So there you have it. The Sylvari are composed entirely of plant matter grown in mimicry of a humanoid form. And they're awesome.

Edit: If anyone wants to play, i'm gonna be on for a bit deciding what title/achievement to go after next, my mains are Aerie Swiftarrow, Monkey The Small, X Wolf Fang Fist X (-_-) and Ghost Of Toast. :p

I've kind of been working toward a few on my Prophecies character, though I'll be starting fresh with Factions/Nightfall once I hit 20 so I can start doing some PVP. (Assuming I don't decide to just grind to 20 on my Dervish so that I can make him my main.)

Current main is Venlo Surrusrev.

edit: So I've started leveling my Dervish a bit, and I'm having trouble deciding on a sub. Rather, nothing really seems as though it would benefit the class at all; just based on what skills I'm seeing that are buyable, I'm not seeing how any class could really add to Derv's playability (realizing also that I'm newly returned to the game and am probably overlooking one of my options).
So before I default to Monk for party support, suggestions?
