Curse

So, the pre-beta is open at the moment (if you can get in), and I'm wondering if anyone else has bothered to try it out.

I hear plenty of tell around the Glad's Arena that many are waiting for this game's release, as they make it out to be a PvPer's paradise--which, in some ways, it is, as there is literally no PvE.

I figured it would be a pretty fun diversion, as I'm a player of both PvE/P. I go on, make a character, they give me a tutorial that teaches me how to move and attack and then says "okay gl go kill people now". What? Okay, I try it. I talk to the specified NPC, he says "you have to wait until 31 other people are in the queue as well". Argh. So I wait for twenty minutes, until there's finally enough people, and I'm dropped into a team of three others. The gametype is evidently some bizarre version of Capture the Flag, but as soon as I step out of my base, I die.

Quick respawn, though, so I try again. I make a few steps further, have some guy teleport next to me, unleash an enormous chain of attacks, and I die again.

This repeats over and over until I finally manage to assist in a kill, before dying yet again, and then suddenly the match is over.

Buh?

Maybe I just need better skills, I figure. So I wander over to the skilltrainers of my chosen class, but every single one says I need to talk to another before I can learn their skills.

I quit in frustration.

Maybe it'll get better when it gets closer to release, but at the moment, I'm thoroughly disappointed.

Well, things like this are the reason why I never get my hopes up anymore really, Because 99.9% of the time It's disappointing, In fact It's oblivious to me how I even got into Guild Wars since i practically hate every game that reaches existence.
