Guild Wars 2 V2: GOTY 2017 or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Arenanet - Games

[QUOTE=Newbienice99;35534236] I am still very paranoid that Gamestop is going to fuck up, and I won't get my CE. I mean, I paid the money and got the beta code, but I feel like somehow they will manage to screw everything up. [editline]12th April 2012[/editline] [url=https://twitter.com/#!/GuildWars2/status/190249077819179008]P.S., the upcoming beta weekends don't have an NDA, so that's nice.[/url][/QUOTE] I hope GameStop doesn't fuck up. I mean if they did that would be a huge drop in their reputation considering how huge this game is now. Also, I told you guys the beta was April 20th!!! I knew it! :D Although that makes me wonder if those 'private invite-only' people are those of us who pre-ordered?

So apparently the shipment of the pre-purchase boxes didn't come in today. Cashierman told me to come in tomorrow. Hope I bloody well get it soon. I also might see about getting a new processor before launch. As that is the only component holding me back.

jesus christ you'd think the store servers would be operational two days after they go up i still cant get this damn thing purchased, i usually prefer digital copies but i might have to just go down to gamestop and see if they have any open pre-purchases

You still have to digitally download the game. It was actually kind of funny, because I told the guy behind the counter that there was no disc, yet he still went looking for one. Five minutes later he comes back and tells me he can't find the disc. Facepalm ensued.

200 new posts, thought i'd find some new content, nope just people saying they pre-ordered

Is it not possible for you guys to order it online? Here in Switzerland you can only get it online. :v:

[QUOTE=Lord_Schrotty;35537049]Is it not possible for you guys to order it online? Here in Switzerland you can only get it online. :v:[/QUOTE] I really had a hard time finding mine. Apparantly I had to pre-order on the pre-order months ago to get the CE at gamemania, bol.com requires internet banking (which atm I don't have until like, friday), and no other sites in the Netherlands say they have it. Shops near me don't get the CE at all, so only the normals there. I have to wait until friday, but i already reserved one for me! :D

I hope my bol.com pre order device comes soon..

Did anyone else just get an email about an event tomorrow?

No. [editline]12th April 2012[/editline] What did they tell you?

[QUOTE=Lord_Schrotty;35537618]No. [editline]12th April 2012[/editline] What did they tell you?[/QUOTE] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3536420/Stresstest.PNG[/img] Its legit.

my instincts are saying 'scam'

Time to buy it then lol.

They didn't say anything about such a thing. And the first sentence is crooked: "Starting this friday, we would like to invite you." And then at the part "About the stress tests" it doesn't explain anything about the stress tests. All it sais is apparantly you have an NDA. I wouldn't go for it. As if they didn't get any data from the closed beta?

I haven't got that email

[QUOTE=Zanfall;35537653][img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3536420/Stresstest.PNG[/img] Its legit.[/QUOTE] What's the email address?

[QUOTE=Vaught;35532910]Gonna be weird having numbers next to your name on the forums.[/QUOTE] With the numbers everyone can pick the name he/she wants, it's the same in starcraft. I like the system, it sucks when my name is taken. Also I would have rather seen a pre-purchase beta this weekend, why let people pre-purchase and then still let them wait for half a month. I guess they're still preparing for the big load of people in the upcoming beta weekend.

[QUOTE=Zanfall;35537653][img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3536420/Stresstest.PNG[/img] Its legit.[/QUOTE] Wait I thought the NDA was lifted already?

For the previous beta. I'm sure they're allowed to have one for whichever tests they want, no?

This weekend they are doing a stress test and that beta is under a NDA so those emails are legit

Why haven't I got an email about it then? Or does 'stress test' not come under 'beta weekend'?

Poop

for a stress test they probably want to have a clear set number of people who will jump in to it. thus probably not open to preorders, and is probably to stress test the servers so that during a BWE the servers dont fucking die so even if you dont get into the 6 hour event just chill out as it is for your benefit edit: god damn ninja, but i was right
