Anyone here been in any of the GW2 Betas?

What are your overall impressions? Some of my guildies are looking to leave SWTOR for GW2 and I was wondering if NCsoft has made this game as bad as Aion was and whether the PvP was showing any promise.

The game has promise, though there's many instances when you may feel overwhelmed, barely surviving solo play. Two races weren't available either weekend, and I have yet to play the beast-like race. Different attacks and combos depend on the weapons you use whether magic or melee. Engineers are nice with their turrets. The major cities are huge with quick travel locations to save time getting around. Haven't played pvp at all, sorry.
