For background, this was the closing event of the June BWE. We had to kill players who were corrupted by a dragon and then defeat the dragon's champions.

Lunitari Shows us why Mesmers are Epic
I'm not a Mesmer in GW2 so I can't tell you about them...but Lunitari can SHOW you how awesome they are. On the left side it LOOKS like there's two clones...but then I pan out and there are THREE.

Guild Wars 2 - Learning to Swim at Kessex Peak!
I did spend a lot more time underwater learning the combat there. It's actually really challenging since your aggro bubble is 3 dimensional.
This is somewhere in the Kessex Peak region. Yes, that is a shipwreck.
Apparently turrets are disabled underwater (which is good, they don't exactly float). I couldn't use any good healing skills. Party battles are hard to coordinate here but, the good news is that you just need to surface to regen health and rally - far easier than on land. One thing that GW2 did very well is to make underwater battle not just a rehash of land battles. It really is a different experience although within the same rules.
This is what you surfacing to breathe and regen looks like. The monsters will try to dunk you back under though. That's always fun.

The Lost City of Atlant... - WAIT - Lion's Arch
This time I focused on what was under the water - as I will during the actual release. I have reasons for this. I know that the game has made the greatest strides in this area.
I tried out the Asura portals and quickly learned that you can fall THROUGH the ones that aren't active. Unfortunately, it takes a little more work to dive off the the portal platform in Lion's Arch (or what passes as Lion's Arch...I'll get to that).
So this is how I fell out of the portal to the Sylvari area...I wound up on the rocks below and then got stuck inside the bridge to the portal. It was kind of weird. I sent a ticket asking if I was supposed to be able to walk INSIDE the bridge supports. If you still can in the final release, I'm going to assume that it's a "yes".
