Summary: After a week after the Launch of Guild Wars 2, we decided it was time to crawl out of our bat caves and once again sit in front of our webcams to give you our impressions of the game. From the ups and downs of launch to personal encounters with the world of Tyria, we bring you podcast #11 and our impressions from launch week.

Some topics we covered:

• The Ups and Downs of Launch
• Picking a class
• Auction House
• Dyes
• Dungeons
• Personal Story
• Immersion
• Graphic Settings

The questions answered here are some of the top questions we get during our live streams at http://alttabme.com/live and these forums!

We are live Mondays @ 5:15 EST : http://alttabme.com/live

Watched half of it (just before I leave for school), and gotta say this is probably my fav podcast.

My only little two pennies worth here is the dye complaints.

If you any of you played Guild Wars One at all you'd know the dye system for that was each dye had a single use. So, for five items you'd need five of the same dye.

Having a system that lets you activate a dye that can be used on any armour as much as you like on that character, and then over-ridden with a different colour before being re-applying the original colour is a god send! I appreciate that there are ALOT of dyes but, realistically how often do you change? I know I use roughly three of my colours normally. So, the other ones I store and when I make alts I can transfer them. If you're a completionist then I can understand it may be a little more fustrating but still, how cheap would dyes become if you could buy a black dye - activiate it and use it across all armours on all characters. It takes a chunk of the economy out that has been there since Guild Wars One.

Just my bit, I appreciate others think differently! ^_^

Same. Agree completely. I think the current dye system is very accommodating, and getting the dyes on a new character will be fun (to me). Good podcast.
