Yeah but it's something to go with...something to hope for! [editline]11th May 2012[/editline] new page [QUOTE=Bullet100;35914126]Consider this guys: Stress Test for BWE1 was April 14th BWE1 started April 27 Stress Test for BWE2 is May 14th BWE2 starts May 25th?[/QUOTE]

I didn't even realize that we're halfway through the month.

I did, I waited all day. (I'm sick so days take a year... Plus waking up at 7 AM argh.)

Question time: Can you make one word player name in gw2? In gw1 you had to always make word with at least 2 words, and that kind of annoyed me. Making one word names is by far easier for me.

What server you folks going on?

As long as it's not one with a major community, again. Those filled too fast Also, does anyone have that link to that googledoc that had all those communities, and what worlds they were choosing? I'd like to see that again, though I am sure a lot of them may have switched.

We're probably staying on Riverside with a few smaller clans, nothing big. Didn't see any big community on here.

[QUOTE=Jessey;35915955]What server you folks going on?[/QUOTE] We're going to have the same account as we did last beta, so the server will be Moladune for NA.

That is only for 14 May.

Was Ring of Fire (EU) okay for you guys last time? That was the original choice. I know we had problems with Anvil Rock (NA), and I tried to switch everyone to Moladune (NA) partway through the weekend. Didn't work out so well because of the long wait for server switching. @Jessey It would probably be easiest if we stayed on the same server each beta, theoretically continuing on into the release, unless a better option was given. So in theory, Moladune (NA) and Ring of Fire (EU) would be the servers. Some people would still have to switch over to Moladune from Anvil Rock.

Lagged a lot the first night and day but after that it was cool.

All the servers lagged a lot the first night, I think. Problem we had with Anvil Rock (NA) was that it was too full, and newer members couldn't even get into the world.

Yeah I had some personal friends who couldn't join Anvil because it was full...I wonder if they will give us the option to transfer for free again? Or do you think they will reset for BWE2? [editline]11th May 2012[/editline] [QUOTE]Rather than game play feedback, the goal for the stress test is to gather technical feedback. We want you to rush the servers and crowd into Tyria, and you’ll probably come across connectivity and performance problems. Be patient as you help our team find those bugs. Again, thanks in advance for helping us chase those out and crush them for good![/QUOTE]

It's actually probably a good thing that we all pile into one humongous server. It IS a stress test after all, and it might help them improve things.

[QUOTE=Jessey;35917141]They said specifically that they will not reset chars this 14 May so I suspect they will reset every BWE.[/QUOTE] How on earth can we get to level 30 then? I was under the impression they wanted us to try the dungeon at that level during the betas.

[QUOTE=a wet towel;35917551]How on earth can we get to level 30 then? I was under the impression they wanted us to try the dungeon at that level during the betas.[/QUOTE] In past beta events (not the weekend, but for example press beta, or just a booth at a convention), you could start at different levels. Like making a Norn character would automatically make it lvl15, or a charr lvl 30. I think there were also such things as level NPCs, that would raise you character's level.

Yes they said that there were NPC's that could increase your level. I'm sure they will add that ability when they are ready to test the dungeons. I think the first BWE was meant for basic testing of the games basic and most important functions as well as the servers. Eventually they will move on to more advanced/detailed testing. or so that's how I see it.

I hope so, I was really hoping to try out some dungeon gameplay.

Same here. I also wanted to try out each class, but I couldn't do both! [editline]11th May 2012[/editline] So does anyone have an alt GW1 account I could borrow for the weekend? Just so I can grind more JQ/FA. I was really planning on working on it all weekend but that's not going to work out anymore. I don't think I have anything else to do during the weekend and it's going to be very boring. I suppose I can finish FEAR3 or AssCreed Rev. I don't know.

[QUOTE=Winner;35917579]You're stuck on the server you were on last, that's how it was between ST1 and BWE1, [i]even after the wipe[/i][/QUOTE] Yeah this pissed me off, I didn't know this and I only played for 5 minutes so I had to spend my gems (It wasn't free in begin) to change...

If anyone is interested in patching early, there is an update for the upcoming stress test.

Thank you. Even though it took me like 10 seconds.

Okay so we're sticking to Moladune? No fancy switches at the last moment?
