Could someone link that page with prices and pre-order versions? Or weren't there any? I thought I was reading about it the other day.

Lost hope for beta access. Wasn't expecting to get in, but you know... Still @the above, collectors edition! My internship is literally paying off, so I have plenty of money.

And that’s just the first ten levels of the game.[/QUOTE]:dance:

Was thinking about buying the Deluxe Edition... ...untill I saw it had a bunch of X-time use items.

As you may be aware, invitations to the event have started going out. [B]We will send out invitations over the course of several days[/B], so if you have been selected, you will [B]receive an invite in the next couple of days[/B]. Please keep in mind that we only have a limited amount of slots for [B]each Beta Event[/B], so not everyone will be able to participate.[/QUOTE] :downs:

So they're still sending them out for a couple of days. Good to know not all hope is lost

that was said yesterday, so we have till tomorrow.

[QUOTE=Pie108;35213831]that was said yesterday, so we have till tomorrow.[/QUOTE] A couple doesn't necessarily mean exactly 2 days. I'm also assuming Bullet got that response today, in which case a couple would still mean there's more than a day left of them sending invites out.

I'm still working on my monuments like some chump, and the beta invites are going out.

[/QUOTE] :dance:[/QUOTE] Eh, they said the same thing about Star Wars, but in reality 95% of the content overlapped with the only difference being class quests. Hopefully thats not true here.

I reckon a lot of the later content will overlap, but not in the way that 2 players go through different stories to reach the same conclusion, but they might end up doing a finale mission of the same basic template with a lot of small changes based on the choices made throughout the game.. I may be wrong, but this feels like the kind of thing they're aiming for.

Also, if the world changes to what you do, what happens if we destroy the end boss? World is saved, nothing more to do. Or are most changes only visible to you?

[QUOTE=eternalflamez;35216122]Also, if the world changes to what you do, what happens if we destroy the end boss? World is saved, nothing more to do. Or are most changes only visible to you?[/QUOTE] It'll be the end of the game. You'll have to wait for an expension or roll a new character.

[QUOTE=Dominicus;35216133]It'll be the end of the game. You'll have to wait for an expension or roll a new character.[/QUOTE] Not what I meanth. They said what you did, changed the world effectively. Is this also for others? I thought some parts were?

[QUOTE=eternalflamez;35216140]Not what I meanth. They said what you did, changed the world effectively. Is this also for others? I thought some parts were?[/QUOTE] It's most likely all phased. Meaning that if you progress through a certain part in the story things around you will change, but only for you. You'll start seeing people around you who have progressed through the same parts of the story as you have. In turn, you'll dissapear for people who haven't. Atleast, this is what I gathered from a couple of movies.

[QUOTE=eternalflamez;35216140]Not what I meanth. They said what you did, changed the world effectively. Is this also for others? I thought some parts were?[/QUOTE] If you're talking about personal story achievements then all of the world changing stuff shows up in your personal instance in your Main city. I think that GW2 will be based around bringing Destiny's Edge back together to help fight the dragons in a next expansion or large update.
