[QUOTE=Pie108;37043212]You're tied. No one wins in a tie.[/QUOTE] Reddit always loses.

[QUOTE=Pie108;37043212]You're tied. No one wins in a tie.[/QUOTE] They are place 25 , i also reckon i could make it into top 10 i missed out a few commanders. The top monthly is insane it must be some kind of bug they got a score of 1900. After round 3 invincible necromancers started spawning for me. And the fact my team was just heroes makes it worse for them. If anyone needs some fast money and has 3 necros for discord build i would try this out. made my self just under 100k in a hour.

I'm really tied on this. It's 60$ retail, which in taxes up here would be 70$. I love the look of this game, and the f2p aspect is also great off the bat. I just don't hope they release DLC or -expansions- a little later on costing $20 or so. Just seems like a lot of money. I wish I could get it cheaper. If I had the bandwidth cap too download 20 or so GB's, I'd get it online, but I can't. Fack.

Sweet, I'm leaving early tomorrow for the Stress Test and I also took Monday August 27th off! [editline]1st August 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=SatansSin;37043412]I'm really tied on this.

I mean, hell, a year's subscription to WoW is upwards of $200+ (after tax) if you're paying month by month, with three dollars knocked off each month if you buy it in 6-month increments. I don't think I'll end up spending that much on however long I'll play this, between expansions and the occasional gems if I feel the need

[QUOTE=daijitsu;37042600] or I could just lock it myself[/QUOTE] Not until we have a better/fixed OP for release.

I know I posted a dozen pages back, that I'd want to play with people in the FP guild, which is possibly my only selling point, maybe too even be in a group for 'raids'(I'm not sure what they're called)?

[QUOTE=Newbienice99;37043488]Not until we have a better/fixed OP for release.[/QUOTE] you've got til release

The fuck someone just whisped me asking if i liked ponys. Well this is a historic moment, first person put on my ignore list in the whole 6 years of playing gw1. I played a bit of SW:TOR , it was not even in the same league as gw2 beta. SWTOR is only going F2P because its losing subs and under pressure from games like GW LOL DCUO ect. GW2 pvp feels like gears of war mixed with wow vanilla.

[QUOTE=SatansSin;37043505]Yeah, but look how fast SW:TOR went too a f2p model.[/QUOTE] I've always had a strong opinion about the way most games go from subscription to F2P. They were designed to be fun and balanced for someone playing the game the way it was designed. When they go to F2P, they start removing features for the people so that they are tempted to pay monthly. And that's the problem, they are removing features from a game that was not designed to be played that way, and as a result it's not that fun. GW2 was designed to be played for free, it wasn't designed for people who want to pay $15 a month. [editline]2nd August 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=daijitsu;37043554]you've got til release[/QUOTE] Does that mean we are bypassing the normal auto-lock, then? Because otherwise, we really only have a couple days.

[QUOTE=mickers;37043578] GW2 pvp feels like gears of war mixed with wow vanilla.[/QUOTE] and just as balanced. [editline]1st August 2012[/editline] Honestly the fact that GW2 is free after purchase doesn't really impact my decision to buy it. If a game is fun I'll pay the $15 a month fee. It's such a small part of my income that it's not a problem.

Current one is too much info for people new to the game, they can learn all that later.

[QUOTE=Winner;37044467]It'd be cool if you cut the profession image up and had each character link to their respective class Looks nice c:[/QUOTE] Good idea

I agree it looks great, but I think it needs the [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35BPhT-KI1E"]manifesto video[/URL]. That's something I always show people who haven't heard about Guild Wars 2.

I tried to get as much on what is different about GW2 as an MMO, and that can't really be shown in images. I'll put the manifesto in somewhere

I would use the [URL="https://www.guildwars2.com/en/media/screenshots/"]official developer media[/URL] as they are usually fucking amazing. I mean who wouldn't want to play this: [IMG]https://d2vn94glaxzkz3.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/thief05.jpg[/IMG] [editline]1st August 2012[/editline] We should photoshop something cool for our Official Face Punch Guild!

[IMG]https://d2vn94glaxzkz3.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/thief01.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] I really hate that armour. I'm not pleased with most of the medium armour I've seen actually. But that one is trying too hard. I have a feeling I'm going to be using transmutation stones to give my high-level medium armour the rawhide (starter) armour look.

I just don't want to put random pictures in when they don't really help. I already have the screenshots at the bottom (got them all from posters in this thread, actually) I mean, the edited OP is still already longer than most megathread OPs.

I like the more classy lower level stuff that isn't so skimpy.

Take out minor unplayable races, the videos at the bottom and the broken pictures. Section 4 isn't all too necessary; or 4 and 5 can be condensed maybe put in with key features. Is there a way to put the player list in columns so it doesn't stretch so much?
