Someone's experience of GW2

Hey all,
I was curious to see what reddit.com/r/gaming had to say about guild wars and guild wars 2, so I was snooping around and came across this post:
http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comme...wars_2_at_pax/
I'm not sure if it was info that's been discussed already, but I found it to be an interesting read. It is a bit old (2 months) but yeah... enjoy.

(Feel free to merge this to the appropriate thread if one already exists, sorry I didn't spend much time looking to see if there was one out there already hehe)|||Upvoted.|||Nice find!|||=]
I was mainly excited about what the poster said about the controls. I was (still am a bit) worried that I'll be too clumsy to play gw2 well. When he wrote about the asdw and the double taps and what the mouse functionality will be like; I felt more optimistic, but I guess I'll have to see hehe.|||When I played it last year, during the GamesCom, I didn't have any problems adjusting to the controls. Sure, I jumped a bit more than I normally would have, but that's to be expected and something you probably get used to very quickly.|||I guess it depends on what you play too, some professions will stay out of trouble more than others, i.e. play necro, not thief.|||I'm a bit disappointed that thy still use the click to select method and not aim to attack.
As a player that prefer melee combat a targeting system similar to AoC or oblivion would be better.
To be able to get close to my enemy aim my toon toward it and freely use my skills can allow me to have better control over the battlefield.|||Aim to target only really works for melee and then you still have to click to target singletarget abilities (you could make these have a really tiny cone area but they'd still be able to hit more than one target and be hard to balance because of the difficulty in aiming)
What they're doing with ground targeted abilities comes close to as much aim to target as is practical for a fun game. Though I'd love a melee system in GW2 like AoC has (also because I would be pro at it already while others have to learn :D, actually my whole guild would dominate the first few weeks if they did that)
Can't wait for Gamescon this year, hope I'll get to play a demo too.|||This was a good find, thank you for posting!|||Excellent find.
Though I am still concerned about whether I will be any good at the game, as my eye hand coordination is not that great. I always have trouble with targeting and I use the mouse for clicking skills. I hope we are not forced to use WASD as I am left handed and always have to reroute the hotkeys.
