I made a new thief called Charrg Lightbrigade. And as much as I like the engineer, thief is pretty rad.

[CommanderPT]

Damn thing got lucky.

Well i've totally changed classes, ( again ) i'm really enjoying warrior so i'll probably be playing that in live.

Oh I thought that was outside of wvwvw since there was that massive chest.

I'm loving the engineer, especially in Pvp. It's definitely the profession that I will be on launch.

It struck me as odd too. I was expecting WvWvW rewards at least.

We are being crushed in WvWvW (Ring of Fire)... :(

No wonder,half of us can't figure out how to get in it and I figured it out but it doesn't even work for me,I just get disconnected

Screw it,next time I'm picking the highest population server. It's lonely in RoF

[Skidd]

Is it just me or do all of the classes feel weak.

[PaChIrA]

Reminds me of the Hammerites from Thief.

We dominated yesterday though, controlling about 3/5 of the WvWvW map.

[Nystical]

probably less people care about wvwvw and got their fix yesterday, or 1 guild rushed a ton of shit while it was all neutral in the beginning.

[cpt. Jebski]

what servers are you guys playing on? anyone in sorrows furnace?

Nice! How did you manage to find it?
Also I don't think youtube video's go HD unless they're 1920x1080 and it doesn't appear that your video is but I could be wrong.

I spent ~4 hours doing parkour with the WW jump, that's how :) By the way this video is rendered with the same settings as Wobblehead and Wigglebeard, but that had no issue...

While I was depressedly reading the forum thread for a red post or some sign or fix of the error that stopped me and just about everyone in the middle east from playing until now :(

And now I can't even get into WvW

Goddamn this beta has been a cacophony of frustrations from start to finish(which should be around 8 o'clock in the morning tomorrow for me and I have school aaarrrrrggghhh

[Jeffkeuh]

When you buy an item from the trading post, where do you get it? Is there some sort of mail box like in WoW? It didn't appear in my inventory or bank either.

How long do we have till the beta is over?

Roughly 12 hours

[GoldenBullet]

Nice one I played like crazy today thinking that it'd be over soon.

[Pandamox]

12 hours

[bunnyspy1]

I'm a bit sad characters won't carry over, I'm not very excited to play right now, knowing my level 15 will be gone in the mists.

also I don't have any reason to play as a human, I mean, I'm already a human in real life. The only thing I'd play as them for would be their city.

[surfur]

Are their any dungeons that we can do? i found a level 30 but are there any before that?

[Nystical]

Wait, will character names carry over/be reserved? Like maybe we can choose to import the character we made as if we just finished character creation.

[imadaman]

Quite sure character name reservation will be based on GW names, and everything will be wiped after beta.

[RawrBullet]

I think you get all (or some) of your GW1 names if you linked accounts reserved, so you can get your HoM rewards

[Newbienice99]

From what I understand, GW names are reserved if the owner of the name has EoTN, or something like that. So only people who bought EoTN will have their names be reserved.

Edit:
Actually yeah, I guess it would only work if you linked the account.

[Mastahamma]

my god the high res picture feature is awesome

[Cakebatyr]

Guess its time to create Charrcolate Rain and Charrg Lightbrigade and level them to 20 in GW1...

I believe Nightfall provides the fastest climb from 1-20, so I'll take care of that after the BWE.


Edit: I wonder if Paul Bunyan the norn ranger is taken... not that I can get a blue ox as an animal companion anyways...

[Winner]

Does anyone have a gold mini (unded) in GW? I need just one HoM point to reach my next milestone, 15

[Vaught]

Seeing as this was the last day, I decided to push through and finish the personal story. Turns out the Greatsword is badass with its chain-pull skill, and Staff for support. Tried Wv3 today, got dominated by red. Even lost our garrison, so there was no point in trying at that rate. Took some silly pictures:

Found this naked Norn running around with the name "Hello Friends". He just ran around and jumped while we were fighting this massive army of Dredge. This was before I rebound my logout key.


My Norn got into some silly pose and didn't change until I got into combat:


Me before going to defend our garrsion, which we lost later. Noticed the walls weren't rendering anymore:


Noticed I got all tiers of Survivor for the month. I felt awesome. Then realized I've died more than few times, so maybe it's broken :v :


I had fun. Sad knowing I'll have to wait for the full release for more fun times

[BloodYScar]

Does this game actually CHANGE in the higher levels? Everything feels like a tutorial, go there, do some
of this shit and then yay, get some xp. Even the storyline feels kinda slapped on. Its fun, but the fun is in PvP imo.

I actually just canceled my pre-order because I really dont think it will change at higher levels and apparently there is no pve endgame so whats the real point of just leveling to 80 and trying to get good gear and hit 80 because if you go anywhere else besides a level 80 zone all your shit gets scaled down to everyone else around you.

Subjective. I find PvP quite demoralizing while PvE and the stories can be rather enjoyable. Then again, that depends on what you mean by "change".

Do everything that you missed? Take on massive dragons? Do dungeons you skipped over? This world is much more massive than the GW1, so take your time and do exploring, gather things, work on crafting. Do whatever. Do some PvP if you want. Make a new guy and try him out.

iunno man

I love that stuff gets scaled. I can just go to my favorite areas and do whatever I want, instead of being forced to go from zone to zone.

[Funion]

yeah now when my friend gets ahead in leveling i dont have to rip his intestines out of his anus

Its nice and a cool idea but its not for me.

Its like, why did I spend all that time leveling to 80 and getting high level 80 gear when it really wont matter unless im doing level 80 content, and if I go anywhere else that scales me down my gear wont even matter.

I guess GW2 isnt an mmo for me because I really like that feeling of progression and endgame content like raids, it gives you something to work towards after you hit max level.

It was either GW2 or Diablo 3 for me and I am just going with Diablo 3.

[RawrBullet]

Yeah levelling with friends was always annoying for me, cuz the bastards either played when I was away or didn't want to play, then there'd be 5 level gaps and I'd repeat allll the lame quests

There are "endgame" dungeons and elite gear in GW2 (sweet looking armor), there is really no disadvantage to the scaling system.
