Just racial abilities in the support ability slots (second half of the action bar), these are not available in structured pvp but in WvW/PVE. Some are elites and can be pretty fantastic (shapeshifting etc).

Not a trait thing which atm is being totally redone and not shown yet though. As far as it is known traits are what helps create builds by augmenting abilities making them change a good bit. you do slot/equip skills in the last 5 slots of your bar though.

Starting areas and storyline are totally different per race also. There is also different racial gear exclusives.

They haven't shown any part of the new trait thing correct? So that whole thing where you equip different traits into slots is the old one that is no longer relevant?

I wont say not relevant cus just recently they spoke of traiting dodge on mesmer to be able to leave a clone every time you dodge. How exactly we gonna trait and how to obtain them is what they have not revealed. There will be some sort of equipping going on somewhere in some form lol

nice vid

**Syntex** · 2012-01-02 21:54

That is a good vid. I just hope they can deliver on that promise as much as they talk about it.

Seems though as things are going with their various systems of doing things that they are though :D

That last question is the big one, eh? And, I cannot answer it because I don’t know the answer. What I can tell you is that we’re currently in Closed Beta and planning has begun for an Open Beta. It’s all extremely exciting, and the game is coming along smashingly. It really is like magic when it all starts coming together and you see what an enormous accomplishment you’ve contributed to.

Trying my best not to get unrealistically optimistic... trying....

**Rulke** · 2012-01-14 21:57

Don't do it Vrumpt. Stay calm and reasonable. This way your experience can only go up.

**Kuya** · 2012-01-14 22:03

What i do when i don't want to get my hopes up is hate on it religiously that way when it ends up being good i'll feel so good. And if it's bad, then you get to pile it up on all the fags that were licking balls earlier, which also feels so good.

Temper yourself, sir. It'll all be over soon.

**Takiwaki** · 2012-01-15 03:28

So true. This is really the first MMO I've had trouble deciding what class to be...Really I've been tempted by 4-5 of the classes and can't decide on one atm >.<

**Tonka** · 2012-01-17 10:53

Definitely the only MMO I've been like...ooooh Warrior looks sweet! Didn't care much after the official release, but from the gameplay vids...SIGN ME UP.

**warbandit** · 2012-01-17 13:43

P.S. If not mistaken they been trying to make airship and quest involving naval battle how awesome would that be in WvWvW

**Dantrag** · 2012-01-17 13:50

Dude, you know they're awesome when they specifically have to write special code for the damn boulders from trebuchet from however far away show up so you can see them.

**Seiji Okita** · 2012-01-17 16:17
