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

Damn, I should have found a netbook to sign up with. It looks like they took whoever signed up with dated tech.

My machine is too cool for GW2. :c

Oh fuck you guys, I didn't even sign up for the beta and even I keep checking my mailbox.

Oh fuck you, now I have to check my inbox aswell. I lost all hope though. :( Edit: nope.

This should be in the OP. [url]http://gw2.luna-atra.fr/skills_tool/?lang=en&code=3cb2g07m7o7umqn2kluua0087888g8l8m8n9b[/url]

[QUOTE=Vaught;35192772]Any or one that has the biggest return value? Drawing from current market prices and the items needed: 5 plat 100 Iron ingots (3.5 plat) (Shouldn't be hard to get without spending cash) 250 Granite slabs (13.7 plat) (Farmable, no worries with this) 10 Onyx (5.5 plat) 10 Diamonds (60 plat) (Biggest fucking chunk of cash here) Total: 82.7 plat. If just going for the hardest ones, Onyx and Diamonds: 65.5 plat. All in all, shits expensive. Not even a HM and NM book combined would yield proper cash. Perhaps stuff earned while doing them would be enough.[/QUOTE] You also get quite some diamonds and onyx gemstones from chests. The response is a bit late, I know.

[QUOTE=thrawn2787;35198587]what kind of specs do you have, perhaps that will give hope to the rest of us[/QUOTE] Specs only matter relative to other beta applicants. If everybody who applied has a top of the range PC then a guy with a shitty laptop is more likely to get in, because they want as diverse a range as possible.

Damnit still didn't get an invite. :suicide:

Well I know I won't get one so I'm still watching GW2 videos on youtube and not really caring anymore about beta invites lol

Yeah I have pretty much given up at this point and am simply waiting for April 10th to roll on around.

Has there been any evidence of Sylvari and/or the Asura having beard options? I really like for my characters to have beards.

[QUOTE=CowThing;35202894]Has there been any evidence of Sylvari and/or the Asura having beard options? I really like for my characters to have beards.[/QUOTE] Plant beards would be hilarious.

[QUOTE=Grasp;35203032]Plant beards would be hilarious.[/QUOTE] Vines growing from your face. I could go with that.

[QUOTE=CowThing;35202894]Has there been any evidence of Sylvari and/or the Asura having beard options? I really like for my characters to have beards.[/QUOTE] Sylvari men can have beards... kinda.. [img]http://www.arena.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Winter-Skin.jpg[/img] Personally, I think it looks pretty good!

That's how they look? Haha, I hadn't seen one of those before. It's like a walking (small) tree.

[QUOTE=eternalflamez;35203165]That's how they look? Haha, I hadn't seen one of those before. It's like a walking (small) tree.[/QUOTE] That's how you can look, you have many options so you could look totally different.

[QUOTE=kirederf7;35203194]That's how you can look, you have many options so you could look totally different.[/QUOTE] So the base (read: body texture) differs aswell? THAT I did not know. Now i'm just sad for not getting into the beta. [editline]19th March 2012[/editline] Btw, preordering the game gives acces to a different beta than the one we signed up for, doesn't it?

This months beta is CBT. Aprils beta is BWE. [QUOTE=Dominicus;35203353]Closed Beta testing Beta weekend event[/QUOTE]

Care to say what the abbreviations stand for?

[QUOTE=eternalflamez;35203209]So the base (read: body texture) differs aswell? THAT I did not know. Now i'm just sad for not getting into the beta.[/QUOTE] Yeah you could have the little beard but have your dude have leaf hair and green skin instead of being bark-y, for example. I saw a video on Sylvari character creation- it looks really great.

So the beta invitations have already been sent out?

[QUOTE=Kentz;35203790]So the beta invitations have already been sent out?[/QUOTE] Yes Speculation and rumors suggest that invites are still going to be sent out over the next few days. [QUOTE]We’ll email you within the next 10 days with instructions on how to download the beta client and information about the upcoming Closed Beta Event.[/QUOTE] [url]https://beta.guildwars2.com/account/done[/url] [QUOTE]Yes, beta invitations have begun going out. [B]They'll be sent out over the next few days.[/B] Please remember that discussing the beta in any way, shape, or form -- including your status in it -- is a breach of NDA. Don't risk your beta access! ~RB2[/QUOTE] [url]https://www.facebook.com/GuildWars2/posts/10150658968674209[/url]

still kinda BS that people who get in for free (probably) get access to it 24/7 and those who buy into it get it for (if it releases in May) one weekend.

But it still lacks detail and doesn't explain what 'The next few days' means exactly. Could be Saturday-Sunday. Could be all week. That's what I want to know.

so my friend who hardly cares about gw2 got into the beta so angry

[QUOTE=thrawn2787;35203894]still kinda BS that people who get in for free (probably) get access to it 24/7 and those who buy into it get it for (if it releases in May) one weekend.[/QUOTE] I don't think the people who get in "for free" have access to it 24/7.

[QUOTE=Kentz;35204687]so my friend who hardly cares about gw2 got into the beta so angry[/QUOTE] My friend who used to hate MMO's but I dragged into playing this one got an invite. After 5 years of loving GW1, I didn't one... [editline]19th March 2012[/editline] So I'm putting together this nice speculation thing here: [QUOTE] There will be one CBT this month and two BWE (once a month April - May) and May release.

Currently, we do not know how many of these events we will have.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/game-faq/#forty-five[/url] [U]Source of March 23-25 CBT:[/U] [QUOTE]So it looks like the beta is starting [B]23 March and ending 25[/B] and and lift will be on the 26th!
