Server Stress Test

In preparation for the next beta weekend event, ArenaNet is planning a server stress test for Wednesday, June 27th, 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. PDT (GMT-7). Your characters from the previous beta event will be available for play during this time!

Anyone interested in warrior PvP, be sure to check out this video video by Ed Park, known as Taugrim. He's carefully laid out a ranged build for warriors, which sounds like a solid PvP build that could be loads of fun, and phenomenal in world PvP. Yes, I said RANGED warrior build! C'mon, this is Guild Wars 2, no one is pidgeonholed into a specific role, you no longer have to be limited to melee attacks to be successful as a warrior! Go ahead, try it, I promise you won't look like a noob.
 


This is another aspect of Guild Wars 2 that I'm really looking forward to, the fact that they have designed each profession in a way that doesn't force them into playing a specific role. Personally, I've never played an MMO with this design, and I wasn't sure I'd EVER see one that designed their classes in this way. Gone are the days of being the underdog in a fight because your role and abilities are so limited, Guild Wars 2 has turned this ideology on it's head by allowing so many varied playstyles within each profession. It's all up to you! What's that? You want a crazy and unique build for your character, too?? Go for it, give it a try!

Awesome article and video from Game Breaker, go check it out! This covers every reason (and more!) that I'm so eagerly anticipating Guild Wars 2.
