Official Guild Wars 2 thread

That finale event was insane. I got just over 300 000 Norn Glory and it was just awesome zerging those Champion Black Moa. For all who missed it, it was a great critter hunt that turned every critter hostile to a varying degree.

I missed that final event, but had heard it was heaps of fun. Managed to get to lv14 Human Necro when I switched off on Sunday at midnight. Had to get some sleep. Tested as much as I could with exploration, dynamic events, skill mechanics, & all the other stuff that make MMO's so great. Loved playing Necro though, & after some info searching I can see them being a force at high level.

I certainly felt just like Geometrix. I haven't enjoyed a game like this in ages, & I play MMO's all the time.

Can't wait for next Beta, & even more so for release. I think I've absorbed every scrap of info about the game from the internet, so now I'll just have to chew cardboard or something. :)

The BWE was awesome. I managed to get my mesmer up to level 28. Spent some time leveling in all the starting zones, doing some WvWvW and also spent quite a few hours doing conquest PvP. Needles to say, my Red Bull budget for the year has been blown.

The PvP seems to be very well balanced and, more importantly, very fun. The tournament system looks very promising and rewarding, but we'll have to see at launch when they finally introduce it to the game world.

Most people will have the Client already, but for those of you that missed it, just bought it, or couldn't get it on International Download. I've been arranging with BT Games to Host a copy locally, which (fingers crossed) will then just require a smaller update for next Beta.

Reply from BT Games

Thank you so much for giving us the Guild wars client. We really appreciate it and hopefully it will help others a lot :)

Thanks
Michelle

I can't say when they will be making it available, but check with your local store if you need it.

Have a look at some of the extra dye colours you can make or buy in this thread

I really love the different shades of brown :D

Also have a look at this an event from start to finish

[Kharrak]

So, as I understand it, Dynamic Encounters are Public Quests introduced by Warhammer Online, but built up and expanded?

[Telur]

This video should answer most of your questions about Dynamic Events



Up to 6:19 they explain how they introduce you the Dynamic event system in the tutorial stage and after that they go into more detail with one of the actual DEs in the Open World. They will explain consequences an even may have if you win or lose it.

Beta event stress test this Monday. YAY

We’ll be conducting a stress test on Monday May 14 from 11 AM to 6:00 PM PDT (-7 GMT).

This special test event is open only to Pre-Purchase customers who have registered their accounts. With your help, we can conduct important tests and address some of the issues we identified during our first Beta Weekend Event. During this event, all you need to do is play normally with a new or existing character on your Beta account using the same game client. Please note that since this is a stress test of our servers, you may experience some in-game performance issues. If you’ve pre-purchased Guild Wars 2 and wish to participate in the stress test, we recommend that you register the account and download the game client.

Pre-Purchase customers, log in to the Beta Forums for more information and/or to download the Beta client if needed.

Nice Info Telur :)

[GeometriX]

Awesome, just a touch more GW2 :)

Ok this is what I just saw
http://www.takealot.com/gaming/mmorp...d-rom,10830834

ArenaNet says nothing however and seeing that more Stress tests are due is this just an exercise in wishful thinking, an outright lie or what?

Do any of you guys know?
I have searched and searched like a good fan-girl but I find nothing to confirm it. Other than Gamespot, who claims 26 June for a date.

Arena.net's official stance is it will be released before the end of 2012 :P

I know I Know
Thanks for replying
I'm now off to go cry in a corner- **** I hate hope- it is such a fleeting feeling. :P

[Sinner-PWA]

My official stance says.. I want it Nooooooooooooooooooooooow, my stress has been tested enough. :)

[Telur]

I'm also planning to test GuildWars 2 on Ubuntu this monday since a few people have been able to get it to run smoothly through wine on max settings. If it works on mine I may not be using windows for a while once GW2 is out XD

[Sinner-PWA]

40Mb update is available. Get it now before the servers go crazy. Not sure if there will be more tomorrow, but very little if so.

[GeometriX]

Kick-off time is 8PM tomorrow, I believe. I'll make sure I get all the updates when I get home, make and eat dinner, play for a few hours, and then head off to the D3 midnight launch. It's going to be a good evening tomorrow \o/

I'm not expecting any major updates, surprised that even this small one is in. They did say that they're using the same build as BWE1.

[Morrigan]

I am so jealous! I am only pre-ordering my copy on the 25th of May. Flat wallets suck!
Enjoy the event tonight all you lucky sods :P
Raspberries to all of you.

[GeometriX]

Is everyone in, playing, having a great time? I get an error 9:something. Guess my account isn't allowed to play tonight :(

[Telur]

Only people that have pre-purchased have access. If you just had a beta key from before and have not prepurchased you will not be able to play. That Said I have been stuck on error code 7blahblahblah network eror blahblahblah all night so far.
