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

I just got back to University and I can no longer login due to the uni's proxy... is there a way around this? I can access websites and other applications are working but GW2 seems to be ignoring my proxy settings :/

You know. I'm just glad I had all these dumb unoriginal names on my GW1 characters. Now I know for sure I can make a Charr with the name "Moo moo im a cow".

[QUOTE=Newbienice99;35584351]There isn't any beta stuff going on right now, why would you be able to log in?[/QUOTE] Even when there are no beta events running, you can still log in and it'll just tell you "Sorry there are no beta events running at the moment", or whatever. Behind this proxy, however, it complains about a lack of an internet connection (which is synonymous with ignoring my proxy settings :P).

[QUOTE=Miskav;35584811]It says the same for me, your settings are fine.[/QUOTE] Really? Hm. It gave me the "no beta event running" message back home. Just impeccable timing, then! Thanks a lot :)

why would you try logging in in the first place

[QUOTE=thrawn2787;35584869]why would you try logging in in the first place[/QUOTE] I accidently launched it from Steam then figured I might as well take another few seconds of my time to attempt logging in to test the proxy.

My necromancer will be Kasha Bloodletter like it is in GW1. As for my other characters, I don't know quite yet.

[QUOTE=lintz;35584152]Hmm. I wonder if we'll get people roleplaying relationships. Like, phone sex. But in GW2. I'm sure there are some suitably slutty actions for female characters. Or maybe jiggle boobs. Actually, I really want jiggle boobs.[/QUOTE] Every time you see a mistell from someone's ERP session you must drink. If it's some wierd fetish stuff then take a shot. I might actually pick up some booze when this releases and see how long I can go before being too shit faced to keep going. I'll go back over the rules around release and put up all the good ones for those who would like to join me. GW2, the only MMO that let's you drink yourself to death since its release.

Keep ideas for the drinking game coming. I won't rest until I know at least one of us has been hospitalized because of this.

Actually fuck Surgeon General, I want to be Grand Maester.

Take a shot when you see an Asuran Warrior, Norn Mesmer, or Sylvari Engineer in a non-starting area. (Least fitting Race/Profession combos IMO, and will probably be rare, thus the shot) We can keep a count of how many drinks and shots you take, Dispenser. We'll be sure to call the ambulance when you stop responding to messages.

Human Guardian Xx Logan Thackeray xX

Charrmander (elem) Charrcolate Rain (engineer) Charrlie Jade (thief) Those are the planned names for my characters. Guess which race they are! [QUOTE=Dispenser;35588039] Does it count if it's you that's naked? Keep ideas for the drinking game coming.

Does anyone know when we people who pre-purchased the game going to get into the beta? i've just pre-purchased around this week and not yet got a beta invite or any news about the next beta.

[QUOTE=darkedone02;35590081]Does anyone know when we people who pre-purchased the game going to get into the beta? i've just pre-purchased around this week and not yet got a beta invite or any news about the next beta.[/QUOTE] The one everyone will get into is supposed to be the last week of April, the one this week is more of a.. 'preliminary.'

[QUOTE=Wolfmatyr;35589942]Charrmander (elem)[/QUOTE] i can guarantee this and all its variants will be gone within the first seconds of release in fact, if you can get that one, i'll get you some gold [editline]15th April 2012[/editline] you heard it here folks. i say "some" because i have no idea how rapid gold intake is going to be, but i promise it'll be worth something

I'm going to make a dual axewielding Charr warrior called Charrly Choplin.

Charrlie sheen

Charrizard

Charrlie's angels, Charrlie brown, and for a guild name charrlie and the chocolate factory

[editline]16th April 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Wolfmatyr;35589942]Charrmander (elem)[/QUOTE] Gasp now I see they already did this wordplay in GW1. Charr Mender anyone?

In case you don't have GW1 I'll be willing to try it for you though, but we shouldn't try in the first week or so, the new players might ninja it away.

Drink every time you see numbers in someone's name. Drink every time you see someone say WTS PLAT Drink every time you log in, because you're going to be drunk anyway. :v:

I don't think that we will survive the first week... hell, I give you a medal if you can make it through day one without blacking out. [editline]awd[/editline] I'll buy a plat.

I'm gonna be spamming "WTS PLAT" in chat... Also drink if you see a ranger or shortbow thief with any varient of "Legolas" in their name.

drink whenever someone makes another rule for the drinking game drink again if someone makes a joke about how you'll be dead within the first hour of playing

[QUOTE=Wolfmatyr;35589942]Charrmander (elem) Charrcolate Rain (engineer) Charrlie Jade (thief) Those are the planned names for my characters. Guess which race they are![/QUOTE] At this rate I may as well make a character named Hue Man. Also according to a FAQ I read any character names you have in GW will be reserved in GW2. [QUOTE=Anonymuzz;35591738]drink whenever someone makes another rule for the drinking game drink again if someone makes a joke about how you'll be dead within the first hour of playing[/QUOTE] Don't be silly. You'll probably pass out within the first hour and a half. Depending on how much you consumed and what position you're in you might have a good deal of time before death ensues.

[QUOTE=Anonymuzz;35591738]drink whenever someone makes another rule for the drinking game drink again if someone makes a joke about how you'll be dead within the first hour of playing[/QUOTE] You can die within an hour? Damn.[sp]I am pretty sure I will get downed within an hour.[/sp] And we must do something during a slow news period.
