After the last Press Beta Weekend back in March we here at GWOnline let all of our members ask questions about the game. And they asked!

We have collected the questions and answers here in this post, so you have something to read while waiting those last few hours before the Beta Weekend Event starts. We find out that Lady Rhonwyn got turned into a table, that Alaris could not use jump shot to climb  and that CMEPTb found dynamic events surprisingly addicting. And that is just a tiny little bit, so make sure to follow after the jump for the whole run-down! Also, remember that you can share all of your Beta Weekend Event experiences on our community forums (don’t forget the Fanart subforum!), in your personal GWOnline Blog and on GWOnline TV, where you can also find all the GWOnline videos referenced below.

Qanar: How does the underwater movement work? Is there plenty of water to swim around or does it feel really defined?

Lady Rhonwyn: One word: awesome! And think 3D! You look in front of you and to the sides, but then: boom, a fish coming up from below! (and I presume you mean confined, rather than defined). There are huge, deep lakes and there are small, shallow lakes. And there are grottoes that only have an underwater access. But overall, the underwater areas feel very natural, and not something like: oh we want to add swimming to the game, let’s put some lakes down. And the breathing mask you have by default, is a stroke of brilliance. This means you can actually do complete events under water (yes, I’ve seen at least one event that took place purely under water!)

Alaris: There is not a lot of water in the starting area, probably they want people to learn to play a bit before throwing them with the sharks. Movement is easy and intuitive. If you swam in games before, this will be easy for you.

Gorani: Seconded: awesome! Watch my Elementalist underwater video.

CMEPTb: This is something that actually bugged me at PAX West 2011. I feel they have really smoothed it out since and while it takes a little getting use to at first, it is quickly sorted out especially when one starts using their skills. I am looking forward to some PvP underwater combat.

Teina: Water movement works pretty much like other 3D movements in other games with flights and swimming. It was very intuitive if you’ve played any other games with flights and swimming. The bodies of water I’ve came across have been small (swamps, small lakes).
