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

Should I continue my grind (without inappropriate language) for Zkeys or should I farm ecto's to buy them? I'm thinking I'll do a little of both to mix it up. I currently have about 135 zkeys and need 200.

I can get roughly 3-4 ectos per hour, and the last time I checked Z-keys were around 5-6k. That way I could get ~4keys per hour with ecto farm. Question is, can you get 20k balthazar rep in hour? I have no idea, since I rarely do PvP anymore. I doubt it would be too hard in JQ, FA or AB.

I used to be able to get 10-15 keys a night (roughly 4 hours), but now it seems that I get less and less faction each time I play.

i think it's hilarious that a ranger starts off with throwing axes instead of a bow. i brought down the great issormir with fucking throwing axes.

New PC in the process of being built: 10% Completion (Parts ready for purchase) Mah new desktop will surely rape my current one and allow me to bask in the shining rays of GW2 buttocks with less frame problems than before! [editline]15th May 2012[/editline] AKA: I will have new deskyop that will be tricked out in time for GW2 release.

I hope that they reset characters and everything for the next event. I am stuck on a server that no one else is on. I wanna play with all you guys. Plus I'd like to test more things with a new batch of 1800 free gems.

[QUOTE=DeandreT;35972986]It was free to switch servers during the stress test.[/QUOTE] This I did not know and wish I did...(I have some friends on other servers who wanted to switch to Moladune)

which brings up another question. Is it Moladune or Moledune? I've seen both and don't know which is correct.

The first time I saw the name I thought it was Moledune (I don't remember exactly), but now I keep on seeing Moladune around. I really don't know, unless I got into the game and checked.

Guild Wars 2 client Patch, 40 some files. [editline]15th May 2012[/editline] Pretty large patch, over 38MB!

Oh god I just thought of something. If there is a jumping puzzle in the WvWvW map, that means that people could go there and just ruin your jumping. Time for setting up a road block in that area? Demand gold or kill them? Best idea.

I think I'm just going to do sPVP and WvW up until release just to get the hang of that and once the game is released I'll actually level characters and play the story missions.

[QUOTE=Winner;35965678]ANet has stated there will be at least once a month[/QUOTE] But after the first BWE they clarified on twitter and said "[i]Roughly once a month[/i]", which effectively is PR-speak for "[i]K guys, there's not going to be a May BWE. We're sorry. Here have a couple hours of stress-testing.[/i]"

I refuse to believe your blasphemy!

i love the necromancer scepter ability "grasping dead" because the hands that come out of the ground scale with the monster's size like when i fought a champion boar hands bigger than me came out of the ground can't wait to try this on dragons and huge bosses

Were there any jumping puzzles or special explorable content in the beta? I never found one, im talking about those hidden dynamic events that you need to interact with something and it starts it.

[QUOTE=HoodedSniper;35979606]Were there any jumping puzzles or special explorable content in the beta?

PsychoJake and I explored the Ascalon Walls puzzle (was really easy): [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oYfi4cVbYM"][video=youtube;1oYfi4cVbYM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oYfi4cVbYM[/video][/URL] ...and the one in WvW was there too (which looks fucking amazing): [video=youtube;81mwQ4i_AwE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81mwQ4i_AwE[/video] [editline]16th May 2012[/editline] There was apparently one near Beetletun and somewhere in the Norn starting area but I couldn't them..

I tried to find the Charr starting area one, but instead I found a bug, and started exploring the mountains, where players aren't supposed to be able to go. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMqcoIuwhsI[/media] Disclaimer: Most of it is very boring to watch, though early on I got to see the end of the world and the endless ocean under the map. Hell, I even saw the entrance/tunnels of the jumping puzzle, but I still couldn't find the entrance.

So I just realized something. You remember how Half Life 2 had an asston of physics puzzles, and Valve was all "look at our Source engine, it's so nice", and we're like, "yes, physics, we get it." Well, jumping puzzles are exactly that for ArenaNet, really. Since they didn't have jumping in Guild Wars 1, now it's like "LOOK AT ALL THE THINGS YOU CAN JUMP ON HERE LET ME MAKE YOU A PUZZLE OUT OF JUMPS" Kind of funny really. Don't get me wrong, I fucking love the jumping puzzles, they're tons of fun. I just thought I'd share.

Never really gotten into other MMOs and I've been looking up a lot about Guild Wars 2 recently. Decided to pre order the game. For some one who isn't a big MMO fan or hasn't played the previous game, is it easy to pick up?
