Anyone planning on playing?
You can sign-up for their beta right now: https://beta.guildwars2.com/
I haven't really found a replacement ever for Final Fantasy XI. I spent a good amount of my life playing this game (roughly 8 years) and just haven't found the right MMO to replace it. Guild Wars 2 seems somewhat promising, but I'm not sure that I have as much time as I used to. But we'll see!
Salutations from Cerberus on FFXI

I THINK I played on Cerberus during my brief stint with FFXI. I didn't like the lack of soloability in that game. Also, I REALLY wanted to be a dragoon, but didn't have the time to invest in the game to get it. I plan on picking up GW2, since I spent a while with GW, and I am a huge fan of the no-subscription model without the constant need to shove a cash store down our throats.

Considering it was my first MMO, I didn't really have any expectations as far as solo or team play went. I just played the game, and thought it was pretty fun since all my other friends were playing...then I got addicted and well, that's how I ruined my life for 8 years.
I agree, I'm looking forward to a no-subscription MMO!

I've played RO pretty heavily on a private server. I jump back into it every now and then. Rates are just too low on the legitimate servers.
-
All I know is, when GW2 goes into Production, we should all join the same server and start a guild and be really cool right off the bat.
-
Sounds like a solid plan.

Definitely private server, legitimate servers the rates are ridiculous I don't want to spend 2 months hunting for a pair of slotted shoes :P

Oops, the beta sign up is closed. Too late...

Let me pick the server ;)

I'll definitely play GW2 when it comes out. (Pre ordering on April 10). Back on GW1, my guild used to GvG everyday.

Who all is planning on playing? Will consider getting it if there's a nice size group.
-
Just bought it! I've got about 6-7 other friends who are also going to be playing :)

Nice bro!

Ugh this stupid rollback.
Was playing D3 Beta and Tera if anyone is interested =) PM me if you wanna run through some stuff...
-
Pre-ordered GW2. RvRvR sounds amazing.
Debating on dropping the $ for Tera. Is there an open beta soon?
-
Yeah, I preordered GW2 also. What does R stand for? Realm? Or are you referring to Server vs. Server?
Tera was pretty fun. It's a cross-hair based 3rd person RPG, similar to WoW plus the crosshair actions. Very clicky game. I think open beta started on 4/20 :) But they might be taking it down today. I think the characters you play on the beta get transferred over to the live version, but I stand corrected on that.
-
Yeah... realm/server... point is that it is 3-way contention. Should be a nice added dimension to the politics involved in large-scale pvp which is a major source of enjoyment for me. I'd be happy to hang with some Geekhackers when it comes out.
"Pretty fun" isn't enough of an endorsement for me to shell out cash for Tera just yet! Warhammer was the last MMORPG I jumped into fully and really had fun (even though everyone beat the devs to finishing endgame and loot was dropping from classes that didn't exist yet), and everything since has just been wasted money.
-
I thought it was WvWvW... but yeah large scale PvP sounds crazy I might just chill there all day if I'm not pwning kids in arena.
-
I thought it was WvWvW...
WvWvW it is... just because the text looks better. You win.

I'm pretty psyched for GW2, D3 should be fun to play while I'm waiting for GW2 to come out :)
-
installing the game right now :) it's almost 25gbs... slow internet people better get on it

Where do we download the game at?

The website is down but this is the official dload link
-
I'm psyched about GW2 but too broke to put down $60 for a game with no release date.
Hope you guys enjoy the beta. Please post feedback, I'll be checking back on this thread for it :).
-
Well, my estimate was way off. The beta is roughly 13gb~
EDIT: Picture of login screen ^^ beautiful. Music is really good too
[ATTACH=CONFIG]48940[/ATTACH]

I'm about 10GB downloaded =)
-
Hope you guys enjoy the beta. Please post feedback, I'll be checking back on this thread for it :).
Yes, please! I want to hear from real people and not biased sites or guilds trying to recruit mass amounts of players at launch by fake-hyping the game.
-
I will do my best to share some info, but we are somewhat bound by the NDC :) I just can't wait for this. I really can't, so excited.
-
Same. Really dying to get back into an MMO as I haven't seriously gamed in a very long time.
I will try to "unbind" you from the NDA when you are overly intoxicated. :censored: -> :hippie:

Hoping we get a key set like the one they did in the GG/MOBA set.
OR
I might just mix match all those sets I've acquired here at GH :)
wasdkeyboard.com's upcoming PBT keys might be a good choice too.

Good call. If this game turns out to be amazing and I get serious with it, I may look into running a GB through SP, imsto or WASD Keyboards. And well, if I don't get serious, I hope someone else does!
-
I have it downloaded and ready for Friday. Shame I won't have my 2600k in time. The x4 965 will do fine for now.

The GW team is like Blizzard. They are smart enough to find that perfect balance between the game looking good and it being playable on a wide range of systems. I'm sure the 965 will handle it more than "fine". Enjoy your beta!
-
I'm looking at possibly streaming it if anyone wants to see anything specific, NDA is much less serious this time around.
-
Having never played GW1, is there anything I should know before playing GW2? I know that's a very vague question, but I really just don't want to read through a million pages of wiki.
-
Everything is here:
http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/1058358-Guild-Wars-2-Mass-info-for-the-uninitiated.-READ-ME
Long read but worth it. This is the link I've been giving to my friends who have not played GW1 and asking about it.
EDIT: All in one page, just have to scroll that wheel. :P
-
I plan to play. Maybe you guys can tell me which server you guys plan to play in or vice versa?
-

I'll gladly run or help run a GB (if I've got enough reputation around here :P) since I'd absolutely love a set. Also because I'm the biggest GW fanboy ever zzz. Someone else would have to deal with shipping though since I'm Canadian
-
Ugh. The digital collector's edition is lame for $20 extra unless ALL your guild members get it and REALLY want that Tome boost. $20 goes a long way towards a GW2 keycap set. :D
-
http://www.guildwarsinsider.com/digital-edition-sold-out/ :twitch:
Good luck to those who still haven't bought. I heard game stop still has copies available and I believe they come with the beta access.
-
Sea of Sorrows server in 4 hours and 39 minutes! :D Human Elementalist!
-
How did you choose your server already?
-
20 minutes to go :)
-
Sea of Sorrows here I come!
-
Im in Sea of Sorrows as well. They are owning in WvW lol
-
How are you guys liking it so far? I heard there were so many people on in the beginning that you couldn't do much...
-
Its pretty freaking awesome. Dodge system makes the game a lot more interactive. Once you passed the first hour of the game, lag isn't really an issue. Pvp is really really fun.
-
I've only been doing PvP lol
-
Got to level 18 :) Hoping to get to 20 before the deadline tonight.
Does anyone know if they will be carrying characters over? Or saving anything out of beta?
-
Aren't carrying characters over is what I understand.
And only thing you'll get bonus on launch is that 1 day head start, I believe.
-
Ah that's lame. Well I bought the special edition, so I get to play 3 days in advance...I think?
Anyway, here's my take on the game. First and foremost, I'll start off with my experience as an MMORPG player. I started played Final Fantasy XI for roughly 8 years, took a long break from MMOs but was considering coming back for a bunch of games (i.e. Aion, Rift, Star Wars, Tera, Warhammer, WoW, and etc.) but nothing sounded as exhilarating as GW2 did. Closest I got was Rift for a few months. So with that being said, my perspective on MMO's isn't very versatile but I think I can speak well on it.
So what did I think of the game? Well, I think the game is fantastic and somewhat technologically advanced in comparison. First of all, the world is masterfully created. Just from what I saw in the beta, there were at least 5-6 VERY LARGE towns. Transition towns, starter towns, high level towns, you name it, they existed and were fully available for exploration IN THE BETA. Betas also usually have some negative connotations attached to it such as (but definitely not limited to): lag, lag, lag, lag, server disruptions in connectivity, quest/NPC errors, and the list goes on. But what I'll say about this beta is that, I really didn't experience anything that inconvenienced me to a point where I cared. Usually, I'm very nit picky about this. There was only a period of a few hours when the game was down, probably due to server overload.
The second thing I'd like to point out is the flexibility they have in server management. They use an 'overflow' system that allows users to play on a temporary server during high traffic moments, and all events that take place on the temporary server carry over once it's ready. Considering this is going to be a big game, it's a relief to know that when it goes live, we don't have lines to worry about. But I think the biggest thing that I was happy about was the WvWvW PvP. This is taking server flexibility to the next level, accommodating up to 2000 players in a full out battle. There's also other little things I like, quick server transfers for characters and cross server guild, party and friend chat. Makes e-hanging out a lot easier.
Finally, the game play. I won't lie, my favorite person to play video games with is Mary Jane. She and I, we go way back, so it's only natural that she assist me. The interactive nature of this game is what truly makes it more amazing. As an avid player of action based games, dodging is the essence of it all. In a lot of the RPG's I've played, when you spin around a mob the only way they miss is if you are truely out of range or you evaded an attack with your evasive stats. In this game, anyone can evade an attack using dodge and true kiting methods. If the effect or projectile or weapon doesn't physically touch you in the game, then you've successfully dodged it. This means, it actually involves some skills instead of just standing there hoping the mob misses because your evasion stat is so high.
So that's my take on it for now. There's a lot of stuff I want to talk about, but I can't collectively gather 3 days of intense gaming, especially when Mary's around me, always nagging me and **** =)
-
I really do think I played some FFXI with you during the brief time I played. I went by Enyu in those days though.
-
With a beta that fun, I'm ready to for a GW2 keycaps set lol
-
GW2 beta was short and sweet for me, I was very busy with work so I only got to make a warrior to 13 and an engineer to 5. I got to explore some areas and wish I could have got more PvP time. Dynamic event questing is much cooler than other MMO quest style (like picking up 5 different quests for one area then running around looking for seashells or killing animals for quest items).
I've played many MMO's: DAoc, WoW, Warhammer Online, Ultima, Age of Conan, APB, Rift, Aion, CoH, Star Wars - ToR + Galaxies, since 1998 and most MMO style games only last about two months on average in my opinion (besides WoW). I think that GW2 has the staying power in classes and races, as well as keeping you interested whether you PvP or PvE. It was a very fluid beta in all matters of game-play. I've seen MMO releases that lagged and had TONS of issues, while the few issues did arise, ArenaNet had them fixed ASAP. So in short, I am overwhelmingly excited for GW2 to be released, and mix in a little Diablo 3\League of Legends for flavor :)
-
It's funny... I very much enjoyed the MMOs I did play until PvP became the in thing... can't stand it, so haven't gone near anything that has it as a major feature.

The pve was what I.mostly played. The world is enormous and pretty really fun...I think this game still favors pve

Not trying to put him off here or anything. The PvE is heavily focused on, with the personal story and what not. They spent a really good amount of time and did great work on the PvE. However they have noted that they're trying to bring it into eSports. In the end, as a PvPer I'd definitely recommend the game if you're only looking for PvE content. PvP is completely avoidable and they're not solely focused on it.
-
The beauty of the first GW was the solo content and henchman/heroes so you could pve all you wanted and it didn't require waiting on 40 "friends" to do harder content (ie WoW). This was probably it's largest draw other than no monthly fees.
GW2 promised to bring that same appeal but also give the option of more PvP in an ever-changing open world.
I wouldn't be concerned at all about lack of PvE content.
EDIT: Oh... and great mini-review DanGWanG. And your Mary Jane henchman sounds hot.
-
played it, enjoyed it.
-
Thought it was pretty awesome minus a few little hiccups which im sure theyll iron out by the time the actual release it out.

Of course, it's a beta. There's no way they could have prepared the servers for the amount of people playing. It'll only get better and better.
-
Anyone know when the next beta is?
-
Thanks for the impressions, for those of you that played the beta. I'm excited for it, but a part of me doesn't want it to come out too soon. I won't have time to enjoy D3 if I know GW2 is right around the corner. And I seriously won't have time for both!

It's a serious dilemma for all of my friends. We're split pretty evenly on GW2 and D3. We all plan to play D3 until GW2 comes, but some people might not make the switch to GW2 and then my band breaks up =/

Yeah, my plan is to get D3 and play it until GW2 comes out. I'm not convinced that I will be into D3 as much as I was D2 - gaming has evolved so much since the last game and I feel like they didn't make enough changes to add replay value. MF'ing will still be addicting as hell, and I'm sure that PvP will be entertaining as well, but running dungeons over and over again doesn't have the same appeal with the new character building system. Plus, I had hoped for raid-style content. I know the Diablo franchise was never meant to emulate an MMO but how awesome would it be to see 25 man dungeons? I always thought D3 would include this, but instead they went backwards with limiting games to 4 players only...
-
I'm skipping D3 for now. I'll get my multiplayer dungeon-crawling out of Torchlight II for $20.
I'm down to split my time in GW2 and play half with my crew and half with GHers if we can get a group going.

This is what I thought it would be like for starcraft 2. But it wasn't what I thought. Sc2 is incredibly fun still
-
i was split between d3 and gw2 as well but after all the things ive heard/seen about d3 like cash shop etc i think ill stick with gw2.

HEY GUYS! still psyched for Guild Wars 2 Beta this Monday!? :rofl:
"Stress Test on Monday May 14th to test some changes we’ve implemented. This 7-hour test event, which runs from 11 AM to 6 PM PDT (-7 GMT) is open to all players who have per-purchased Guild Wars 2. The good news is that we’re not wiping characters for this test; we’re using the same build that we used in the first Beta Weekend Event, so you’ll be able to pick up right where you left off. For more information about the Stress Test, log in to the Beta Forums. Please join us on May 14 if you can."

T-minus 10 minutes!

Although it was a stress test I had a lot of fun doing the WvW jump quest thingy. SPvP was unplayable with the lag so I couldn't get any good practice in.

Too many games to play all of a sudden. BETA weekend starts in 19 minutes =)

Graphics Card: NVIDIAŽ GeForceŽ GTX 560M 1.5GB GDDR5
I run Guild Wars 2 on medium detail setting at 1600x900 resolution -- Beta Weekend 1 in April was a bit choppier in frame-rate. Beta Weekend 2 last weekend had some optimizations from BW1, it was quite a bit smoother in WvWvW fights of 70++ people.
-
The optimization was the best part of this Beta Weekend #2. Everything was so smooth, and interface was a lot better. I'm really like where GW2 is heading...
-
I want to play this game so bad! Can one still get into the beta?
-
I think beta recruitment is now over, but if you join their Facebook group (Guild Wars 2), you can get updates on when they have BETA giveaways. They also post when their affiliates are having BETA key giveaways.
You may also be able to pre-purchase the game and still be able to receive a BETA key...but that might have been limited.

Haha, nice! The story is truly great, I'm a sucker for Eddard Stark, he reminds me of my father in almost every way. Another note: I found there are many "fakes" of the Hodor twitter. The actors name:Kristian Nairn - It sounded like he might get some more beta keys because of the last response he got. http://twitter.com/#!/KristianNairn is his official.

I liked edd too! I was so upset when they killed him off. =[
I'm still a John Snow fanboy.
I like his character. I wish he was a bit more of a ladies man though :P or at least get tempted a little bit. I am honestly most excited to see what happens to him more than anything else in the show at the moment.
-
Hot Tip Zamorph, get the books!! They rule..
The show is good.. but the books...!
You even have time now.. next season not out til next year! :(
-
So... who is actually going to still play this?
After the D3 debacle, I'm pretty turned off to gaming.
-
I will 100% be playing. I bought the game so, it won't be going to waste =)
-
People who pre-ordered will be allowed to play 3 days earlier, starting tomorrow =) I'm getting excited for this!
-
I still didn't order. Back is killing me. Hopefully I can play catch-up once my swelling dies down; I hate being the lone lowbie behind at launch while I see all my buddies flying through the game.
-
Never played this nor any mmorpg
Would it be hard to pick up?
-
It's pretty easy to get the hang of. I just got it lastnight and started playing for a bit. Really nice UI and graphics. Pretty easy learning curve. But I have been playing MMO's for years, so I can't look at it from a newbie perspective.
-
I think playing as a newbie would be awesome to feel again....those were the days
-
I remember the first day I played WoW. I played a Mage, and was using melee dps weapons for the longest time... lol

I tried to play WoW once. Too much going on.

Well... GW2 Guru is the #1 fan forum. Guild Wars 2 has their own official forums now, good builds for guardian idk I'm not good with guardian, and I'm on Stormbluff Isles :)
-
Can I just pick this up and play solo casual with some fun henchmen building like the first one? Very limited play-time atm.
-
You can play solo forever. All instanced storylines have henchmen, but not like the original GW1 (from my understanding). There's also classes that specialize in pets and henchman...
So I'd say, definitely you can play =)
@Sifo, I'm on Sea of Sorrows....add me! Dangwang is my character name =)
-
I'd ask you to be my henchman, but I require a UT for all my employees.

Luckily I am on summer break. I fear for my next semester :D

Why do they keep stopping selling digital editions? Servers crowded beyond their ability to handle it?

Picked GW2 up yesterday; got to L5 doing PvE stuff, and it seems like a lot of fun! My first true MMO (tried FFXI when it came out and it made me completely anti-MMO for years).

Playing on Underworld, haven't played in a few weeks though, lost interest after I played 2 chars to 80.
Nowadays I'm more likely to play the first GW instead.

I'm playing right now. I'm still trying to figure out the excitement about wvw. It seemed kind of boring to me. I like spvp though, I wish they had some different types of bg though, like capture the flag

Dan you have nice tits ^___^

Same unfortunately, I could go on forever about how unique and brilliant GW's original design was. This game doesn't seem to stick with hardcore GW1 vets like me or even the casual MMO gamer of today.

good game.

I tried playing this game but I just couldn't get in to it.

Anyone on Fort Aspenwood?

I got a mid 50's thief that I kind of gave up on because theif PVE is boring.. and I'm currently working on leveling a warrior (lvl~50ish) which has been a lot of fun.

I really wanted to like GW2 but it got boring to me really fast. I think it's because I'm bored with MMORPG in general. I liked the structured PVP but there really isn't much strategy to anything, everybody just runs as a group, captures a point, then off to the next point. At least in Wow we'd try to stand at the flags and protect them. And I found myself getting bored with repeating the same capture point maps over and over. I tried WVW but it didn't appeal to me. Too long and drawn out. Questing was okay, the graphics were really nice for the different areas I visited. My favorite part of the game were the jumping games to get to the vista points. I liked those.
I'm going to take a break from MMORPG for awhile. I'm going to finish up Batman: AC, I'm having fun playing Hotline Miami, and also Borderlands 2.
One of the great things about GW2 is since there's no sub fee, I can always go back to it in the future and give it a second chance.

I haven't played in around a month or so. Got my Guardian to around level 55 and then just got bored.
-
I quit because my esport team wasn't working out... was top a player in the world man
-
I bought the limited edition of this prerelease, and have only played it once... money not well spent.
-
Yea I wish this game didn't flop so hard I was a big fan of GW1 and was hoping that this one would be good :(
-
I really wanted to like GW2. I bought the game the day it was released but couldn't really get into it - same with SWTOR and Rift actually. I played WOW for years and think I am just burned out from MMORPG's. They all feel like I've been there, done that. I play FPS mostly now.
BTW, I think SWTOR is F2P now if anyone wanted to try it.

Same exact thing with me. Was really excited to play GW2 after watching trailers and gameplay, got the game and wasn't very entertained. Went back to the usual WoW, never fails.

Everyone knows Blackgate is where it's at. WvW easy!

As with me. I got to 80 quick with my engineer and completely lost interest. I just finished updating WoW to start MoP

OOH also, wow thread? I play WoW occasionally, used to be quite the addict, but quit when i started working 40 hrs a week. Now i try and play casually as its much easier to play for 10 hours a week and still have top teir gear.
