Faux Open Letter

Dear Designers of the Domain of Anguish,

I get that you want "elite" areas in your game. I do. Here's my problem: you basically made the Domain of Anguish, which is contained in the expansion in which Dervishes were released, impossible for a Dervish to run thanks to the fact that your ridiculously overpowered Mesmers that can do twice as much damage as my mesmer ever possibly could with Shatter Enchantment can simultaneously remove my enchantments (the central mechanic of the Dervish, I remind you) and and deal approximately half my HP in damage per enchantment removed. This isn't just ridiculous. I need a whole new word for what it is.

I hate you and die in a fire.

Love,

Me

(PS: I don't hate you and you shouldn't die in a fire. But if you do this in GW2, I am going to be very, very angry with you.)

Guild Wars 2: Info from gamescom demos

I'm gonna summarize what I've learned from the official GW2 demos (both what tiny amount I can understand in German and what I saw in the demos visually) and the vast wealth of info from fans and media alike. Many props to the fine people at Guild Wars 2 Guru who have provided a great deal of the info and pointers to info sources that I'm basing this post on. I also will be, of course, putting in my opinions on what I've learned.
