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

[QUOTE=kenji;36289519]Did anyone do any significant crafting? im curious how armour smithing is, i'd likely grab that on my guardian on live.[/QUOTE] I got Chef and Leatherworking over 120 and Huntsman to 40. I normally HATE crafting in MMO's, but in GW2 I absolutely love it! It's so polished and everything works so smoothly. It's just right. [editline]11th June 2012[/editline] Only a few others got higher than 100 crafting. I remember seeing someone with ~100 Armorsmithing but I don't know who it was. Might have been that guy named "The God Who Rocks" or something like that. We had our Chef battles now and then.

[QUOTE=That Ninja;36286716]I think everyone needs to realize that the events happen so frequently because it's only a beta [b]weekend[/b] event. They need to make sure the most amount of people can try out all/most of the events for the purpose of testing.[/QUOTE] do you actually have a source on this? i mean it sounds reasonable but have the devs actually stated this?

[QUOTE=KoTTsNoRk;36289463] Like when I made a Charr ranger the first story quest-lines was going back and forth speaking to people and then eventually kill something, but being a [B]Human Paladin[/B] made my first mission kill over 15 enemies.[/QUOTE] wait what

[QUOTE]Q: I am absolutely furious you are holding the beta when I am on holiday I don't suppose you have any plans for another beta some time after this one? A: well sorry your going to miss it, [B]there will be at least one more after this one well announce when at a later time.[/B][/QUOTE] Looks like we get one more BWE then... [QUOTE]Q: There have been contradicting statements about a one month notice before release. Can you confirm or deny if we are going to get this notice? A: We try to be very open and transparent with our fans, as I hope this AMA shows you. Your concerns are all about release date. The fundamental issue here is that we just don't have a release date right now. We're using beta testing in the traditional sense. When beta testing shows that the game is where we want it to be, we'll lock in a release date. I'm pumped about what we were able to accomplish for BWE2 and I think you guys will be too when you see it. We're not that far off. [B]We're obviously going to release in 2012, and any statements to the contrary are absurd.[/B] As for the "one month delay" versus "not one month delay", we have to line up distribution and retail sales so obviously we'll announce a release date in advance of the actual release, but we don't have a policy of "exactly X weeks in advance". Aidan was giving his personal take on this. Rubi is correct that there isn't a nailed down number of weeks notice. ~ MO[/QUOTE] ...release this year! [editline]11th June 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=JerryK;36289636]do you actually have a source on this? i mean it sounds reasonable but have the devs actually stated this?[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Q: Is the frequency of dynamic events going to change prior to launch? The faster rate may aid in testing, but it can be overwhelming. It's detrimental to the sense of having an impact in the world when the same foes respawn five minutes after being defeated. A: Event frequency is one of the things we're evaluating with these beta weekends. -Ferg[/QUOTE] [editline]11th June 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=ArmageddonScr;36289752]wait what[/QUOTE] Guardian*

elementalist is fun as hell. i love how you get different spells for each weapon. so much variety also did anyone else think the norn storyline was incredibly boring compared to the other two races, or is it just me?

I thought the Norn story was nice, but the beginning just felt rushed "Go kill big thing. THIS IS WHERE MY LEGEND BEGINS." blah blah blah I think out of the 3 that were available I liked Charr the most. Human was rather meh and norn was rather meh too.

for sure. the charr's storyline seemed infinitely better than the other two, especially the intro monologue. the charr characters had a lot more personality as well also i thought the whole background story thing seemed kind of silly. apparently 33% of human adventurers never found their sister's body?

yeah, the whole legion and citadel stuff seemed awesome. right off the bat I felt I had a stronger connection with Charr characters but ultimately I enjoyed leveling my Human Guardian the most, story wise.

[QUOTE=Monkeypunch;36284373]Probably know him personally because i ran AC with Old Ascalon Man and he was as clueless as we were.[/QUOTE] Old Ascalon Man was also level 38. The beta was capped at 35.

I think the only class I genuinely didn't have any fun with was the Mesmer, it just seems really ineffective. Shortbow Rogue and Rifle Engineer are where it's at.

I'm already having cold turkey.........staring at the log in screen expecting it to light up with my characters..............

Just wanted to share this very interesting piece of information: (From the final event during BWE1) [QUOTE]...the Moas had a larger kill:death ratio than the players. Despite the sheer number of players the Moas definitely rose to the challenge.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Floreum;36290179]Old Ascalon Man was also level 38. The beta was capped at 35.[/QUOTE] Wasn't someone on here like level 45 though?

[url]http://www.gamestop.com/browse?nav=16k-Guild+Wars+2[/url] teasing me with these inaccurate release dates.

i reached 45, i've heard of people being even higher

there should be crafting storage right next to the crafting points, it's quite annoying have to run back and forth to the bank to pick up collectibles

[QUOTE=JerryK;36292157]i reached 45, i've heard of people being even higher[/QUOTE] How did you level so quickly?

[QUOTE=JerryK;36292157]i reached 45, i've heard of people being even higher[/QUOTE] 1) How the hell did you level so quickly 2) I remember reading in one of the recent blogs that it was 35, but looking at them I think they edited it out? Maybe I read it on the Reddit AMA.

[QUOTE=Acezorz;36292442]there should be crafting storage right next to the crafting points, it's quite annoying have to run back and forth to the bank to pick up collectibles[/QUOTE] Same thing with the Trading Post :\ Wish the items would just be sent to your mail like other items do (gem store). [editline]11th June 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Nystical;36292558]How did you level so quickly?[/QUOTE] He probably only played that character and used exp boosts. I was able to get to 37 with my Ranger, but I also played all the other classes including getting two others to level 10. Account total of 75 hours.

[QUOTE=Bullet100;36292628]Same thing with the Trading Post :\ Wish the items would just be sent to your mail like other items do (gem store).[/QUOTE] I think there just needs to be more banks placed around in general as well.

i played mostly just my engineer and played a lot during both BWEs

WvW must give way more XP then PvE somehow... also what is with the "no one in WvW takes damage" bullshit (determined to live or whatever)

Finally pre-purchased, shame I missed the beta weekend :v:

So guys, I really want to get this game before it comes out and I'm trying to raise money by selling my TF2 shit. [url]http://steamcommunity.com/id/venn177/inventory[/url] Everything must go.

From those vintage hats I reckon you'd make about 2-3 dollars each. But I've been out of the Mannconomy for awhile.

just a short clip of the phantasmal haste bug [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DesMqxthw0&feature=player_embedded[/media]

[QUOTE=ArmageddonScr;36297318]Have you posted in any of the tf2 related threads?[/QUOTE] Yeah, I posted it in the trading thread. [editline]12th June 2012[/editline] I've got a couple of friends willing to chip in and help, but I have not a penny to my name that isn't going to bills so I'm doing whatever I can to get in before the game releases.
