For example you can be strafting in one direction and then when your enemy shoots a projectile you can juke it be strafing the other direction and dodge it (depending on the distance and speed of projectile of course) since auto-targetting tries to predict where your opponent will be. The game uses true line-of-sight so you can also hide behind stuff AFTER the projectile is fired and won't get hit. You can turn off tab-targetting as well in options and manually aim stuff as well. You can think of tab-tagetting in GW2 as an option (e.g. noob-friendly) instead of a requirement. I think once people get better and better the less they will use tab-targetting (for pvp of course), especially meele classes. As for quests there are the basic questgivers (they are all marked on your map, no need to search for them) and then random quests will occur every now and again in pre-designated areas (similar to Rift or Warhammer Online if you played those games). There are also other things like hidden areas on each map (which give xp) and if you complete every objective (quests, dynamic quests, hidden areas, etc.) on the map you'll get a big bonus for that as well. There is actually nothing random about the events. All events are stuck on a chain with several different phases, they never reset or just happen out of nowhere. And to be honest i have never hit tab once in all 3 weekends. You simply hit what is in front of you if you don't use it. (keep in mind i played melee classes all 3 weekends) | ||

1. there is a stress test tomorow: We will be conducting a stress test on Thursday, August 2 from 12:00 Noon PACIFIC Time to 4:00 PM PACIFIC Time. Unlike previous stress tests, we will be actively working on the game during the event, so you might experience connectivity problems or discover features that are not working as designed. Any issues you experience are a result of the rigorous conditions of the stress test, and are in no way representative of the state of the game at launch. By participating in this stress test, you’re helping us make Guild Wars 2 a better game. Thanks for your cooperation—we’ll see you in-game! ~RB2 2. i did the second beta weekend, do i need to redownload everything to play the stress test ? | ||

Ninja'd^ + Show Spoiler + Only if you deleted your game, but if you didn't play on the 3rd beta weekend you probably have a small update extra to do. Thanks for the knowledge about the stress test ^>^. | ||

I could be wrong about the client though. According to the first email I got for pre-ordering back in I-don't-know-when, they said the launcher/patcher what-not was their temporary half-assed version of the game for us testers. So I'm going to assume the full-release is a completely different setup. Does anyone know when they mail the game? Because I put my address as my friend's place. I hope it's before 3-day pre-release. I don't want to start downloading 15~20GB of files because they mail the game after release date. *EDIT: No, I just checked the link they gave me on one of the first emails I got and it no longer says that they were giving us a temporary crude way of running the game. So I don't know. | ||
