I actually have a full slate of level 80 alts, every single one of them dressed in whatever gear they got from the level-up boxes or whatever whites they started out in. Occasionally I've tried playing them in PvP for the dailies but they only remind me how much of a hamfisted poo poo I am

A bunch of goons convinced me to take one of them to a raid once and it was an unmitigated disaster.

i can kind of understand why they changed the gw1 mesmer to what it is now, what with being one of those classes that can be generally played better 95% of the time by an ai helper, but it definitely was neat for what it was

GW1 mesmer was designed solely for pvp and KINDA worked in pve. The pve side of it was reworked a little bit to be more effective in pve parties, but it still never really fit.

It makes sense when designing the GW2 mesmer that it needs an overhaul, considering they were building around the design idea that all classes should be able to solo most pve content.

I highly recommend playing mesmer, what if you end up liking it? You could play it again tomorrow then. Think that's a Dr. Seuss quote.

Even better, you cast a spell that punishes them for not doing anything, then interrupt them when they try to do something, thereby damaging them for both action and inaction.

So I started getting back into this after playing during launch, but never really did much with guilds besides making a lovely tiny guild with some friends. How much does your home server affect which of the guilds are available? I guess you can also be in 5 guilds at once, so is there any prohibition or rivalry among the guilds on here?

Server affects PvE none since the advent of megaservers, as long as you're playing in the same region. Server does affect WvW, if you're into that. Not really any rivalry between the guilds so to speak, tons of people are members of both!

now that you can chat and listen in on multiple guilds at once the only real correct answer is "join both guilds"

So, since the timechange, and with the HoT maps on 2-hour rotations, I could definitely do a train 3 hours after reset, starting at 10PM EST. If that works out for more people.

Has ANet added anything new to any event after its initial launch? I've done Halloween now maybe three times and it seems to be the same each time. Wintersday is coming up and will it probably be the same few events (orphan gifts, grawl star achievement event, etc)?

Some non-goon guilds require 24/7 tagging, and threaten to kick you for switching to another guild tag. But they're a dumb minority and probably aren't fun to play with.
