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

[QUOTE=Applecrap;35711745]the title screen music makes me happy[/QUOTE] I fell asleep with it in the background. And it's currently going on now as I browse the internet and play games.

[QUOTE=Tey;35705043]theres a high chance you wont be able to login on friday night due to server rape[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=DeandreT;35705065]There is more than one server. I'm sure it'll be fine.[/QUOTE] there could be a million servers, theres only one login server

[QUOTE=Skidd;35712274]Thinking of going to Vabbi, seems like it'll be mostly English-speaking.[/QUOTE] Ring of Fire isn't?

[img]http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7Y5dsEURFsM/TryluQfdB2I/AAAAAAAAAYk/cGpskGjKVLQ/s1600/mountain.jpg[/img] [B]RING OF FIIIIIRE[/B]

I'm going for Sea of Fissure myself. So I can play with other Goons. SA isn't going to be on Vabbi by the way so that list is incorrect in that regard at the very least. I doubt anyone wants to play with Goons anyway though. :v:

[QUOTE=Winner;35712596]Depends if WvWvW world restriction is per guild or per player, doesn't it? I don't know if ANet has told us that yet[/QUOTE] I would assume by player, since we can join so many guilds, as well as for the people that aren't in guilds at all. It's just a simpler system to keep track of, for ArenaNet and for the players, I would think. We'll see in the game.

So uh I guess I have to join the Ring of Fire server

[QUOTE=Newbienice99;35711875]Has anything been said that guilds cant be represented by people from different home worlds? I just dont want everybody planning to cut the guild apart when much of this is guessing [editline]25th April 2012[/editline] I dont see why a eu fp player in a single guild couldnt earn influence for the guild at the same time a na player earns influence on an entirely separate server[/QUOTE] That's probably entirely possible! The problem arises when you consider WvW and keep claiming. What if you have a keep being attacked [i]and[/i] defended by the same guild?

I've downloaded the beta and when i log in it says my account is ready but i still haven't recieved a beta email on my account email, i'm worried its because i linked my ncsoft master account and something screwed up :(

I vote for Far Shiverpeaks as EU server. It sounds like it will be home to alot of Scandinavian people. I like those guys. The fact i'm danish might also have something to do with it.

Well, this was a nice surprise. PC gamer posted a bit of a preview of the Asura starting area. No video, but some nice screenshots there. [url]http://www.pcgamer.com/previews/guild-wars-2-asura-levels-1-10-our-exclusive-hands-on-impressions/[/url]

[QUOTE=Guillebon;35712066]/Vg/ ain't that bad, they're at least better than gametrailers, the yogcast and [i]reddit[/i].[/QUOTE] Yeah, /vg/'s been going through threads like they're Doritos. Total I'd guess there have been like 3000+ posts in the past several hours. /v/ and /vg/ have been mostly excited about GW2 and I'm guessing they'll be plenty good to have on the same WvWvW team.

So guys, how do I go about creating my account? I assumed that there would be a link in the e-mail I'm getting from pre-ordering, but apparently people already have accounts. Did I have to sign up during beta sign-ups to make one? I guess my "try to learn as little as possible so it's even fresher" philosophy backfired because now I have no idea what's going on. :(

There's a big difference here. If you just reserved a copy, that won't cut it. If you paid the full price and bought it already, you should have received a code. If you ordered from GameStop, go in with your reciept and ask for your code. Go to register.guildwars2.com and link your accounts or create a new one if you didn't play the first Guild Wars.

EDIT: As in, paid full price for it on Amazon.

Yeah I'm excited to see how FP and /vg/ people play like. Although I'm one of both so I suppose they aren't that bad. Atleast much better than reddit/biodrones.

Okay, let's do a poll then. what EU world? VOTE AGREE FOR [B]RING 'O FIRE[/B] VOTE DISAGREE FOR [B]VABBI[/B] VOTE GAYBOW FOR [B]ANYTHING ELSE[/B] (specify which one)

For those who haven't read the blog yet, before you make your Home World decision; [QUOTE]While home-world selection and world transfers will be available during our Beta Weekend Event, [B]guesting is not currently available.[/B][/QUOTE] If you make a mistake you will have to do a Home World transfer but you can only do that once. Make sure you choose a server that your friends are playing one (like me). [QUOTE]We strongly recommend that you plan ahead and choose your server before the event begins on April 27.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Big Ben;35713209]I pre-ordered the game from Amazon. EDIT: As in, paid full price for it on Amazon.[/QUOTE] [IMG]http://i48.tinypic.com/15e7bbk.jpg[/IMG] Looks to me like beta access isn't included if you ordered from Amazon. I'll look around the net for more info, though. EDIT: [url]http://www.gamebreaker.tv/mmorpg/top-of-the-charts/[/url] [quote]One is the loneliest number… but, for now, Guild Wars 2 has it all to itself — maybe. Since becoming available for pre-purchase on April 10, ArenaNet‘s upcoming game has sold — well, we don’t have exact numbers, but we’re betting it’s “a lot.” Amazon seems to agree, listing the game as #1 on its sales charts for best-selling adventure games – even though [b]Amazon doesn’t have that pre-purchase advantage.[/b] It’s also #4 in top role-playing games, a list topped by Diablo 3 that also includes several versions of TERA and other MMORPGs. The Secret World is #10. Curiously, TERA isn’t listed as an “Adventure” game, which would seemingly put its version that ranks ahead of GW2 on the RPG list ahead of GW2 on the Adventure list. Many older games, such as the original Mass Effect and Knights of the Old Republic populate the charts as well. According to an Amazon spokesperson, “We base rankings on all-time sales, as well as recent sales that are weighted more heavily than older sales, so that our lists are timely and aren’t always dominated by all-time best-sellers like Harry Potter.” Note that the rankings listed above are accurate as of 9:00 a.m. PDT on April 18, 2012. They update hourly and will likely change as this article ages.[/quote] Sorry, it looks like you could cancel and pre-purchase from somewhere else or just wait it out. A lot of people will be streaming this weekend, though.

So far the only negative affect to guesting is: [QUOTE]you will not be able to participate in WvW while guesting.[/QUOTE]

Just got [URL="http://us1.campaign-archive1.com/?u=72ed10ec88b2be3f17f37fc22&id=4b1ea1d640&e=5deb3d5249"]this[/URL] in my email, get 20% off GW2 from Green Man Gaming this weekend only, use this voucher code: GREEN-DEALS-GUILD Hope this helps! Not promoting the store or anything, just thought some might like a tiny bit off from the full price.

[QUOTE=Big Ben;35713403]Well shit. I'm assuming pre-ordering straight through guildwars2.com will net me the weekend beta invite?[/QUOTE] Yeah, it should. [QUOTE=overdark;35713432]Just got this in my email, get 20% off GW2 from Green Man Gaming, use this voucher code: GREEN-DEALS-GUILD Hope this helps![/QUOTE] Be careful, everyone, there have been a ton of phishing attempts in wake of the beta for a long time now. I personally doubt anyone can legitimately get the game 20% off before release.

I personally doubt anyone can legitimately get the game 20% off before release.[/QUOTE] Oh, I was unaware of that. I'm not trying to scam anyone or anything, check the website for yourself. I can assure you they're legitimate as I've purchased a couple of games from them before. I understand your concern though, and I think only subscribers/previous customers get this email as I cannot see it on their website. Just to calm you down, perhaps [URL="http://i.imm.io/ndpi.jpeg"]this[/URL] might convince you?

It's green man gaming yer fool

[url]http://cloudfront.guildwars2.com/client/Gw2.exe[/url] The client link since it's been a few pages. Note to All: The client will not be enough to play. You need an account [QUOTE=Killeen;35713541]It's green man gaming yer fool[/QUOTE] Sorry, never heard of it. v:v:v

Yippee, cancelled and pre-ordered through buy.guildwars2.com Err... The e-mails they sent me are in German and Dutch, I think...

[QUOTE=Big Ben;35713603]Yippee, cancelled and pre-ordered through buy.guildwars2.com Err... The e-mails they sent me are in German and Dutch, I think...[/QUOTE] Weird... Well, the client link is right above. :v:

[QUOTE=DuncanFrost;35712774]That's probably entirely possible! The problem arises when you consider WvW and keep claiming. What if you have a keep being attacked [i]and[/i] defended by the same guild?[/QUOTE] I don't see a problem. If the attackers win, it changes colors (from Green Team to Red Team or whatever), but keeps the same guild banners and whatnot. The alternative basically breaks international guilds (having to be two (or more) separate guilds, each having to earn their own influence and all that crap). I think they'd rather have small quirks like guilds attacking themselves than piss off a very large amount of players. [editline].[/editline] Well that is shitty. I can't test a bunch of things because guesting is disabled.

I downloaded the client through the cloudfront link yesterday, I assume that one will work fine? [editline]25th April 2012[/editline] Oh woops, didn't see the one you posted WAS the cloudfront link.
