What is your plans for Beta Weekend?!?!?

BREAKING NEWS !!!  BETA WEEKEND 4/27 ~ 4/29 CONFIRMED BY ANET !!!!

Playing the game with a friend and lamenting that I can't take the character to headstart. 

I'll probably end up taking one of every class to 10 ish to see what I enjoy the most, then decide from their. PvE takes priority over PvP though.

Well im not on the beta but i hope people to look for bugs and test the mechanics in order to have all the posible problems solved before release, because... ITS A BETA.

Ill be doing the same exact thing everyone else will be doing (although not everyone will admit it) and that is figuring out which class I want to play. 

Getting as much information on WvWvW tatical combat as I can. Not worried about the PvE until launch.

how many people will not be sleeping for the weekend just so they can get the most out of it?

I know I will probably call in sick if i have to work on Saturday.

I typically love to test bugs and errors in Betas but because I paid in full for a game to play on specific weekends - forget testing, I consider this a trial not a beta test.  I will be trying out each profession and starting races to get a feel for which I like the best.  I will also see if I have time to dabble into the structured pvp and World vs. World.

I know I don't want to explore until the actual gameplay because I will forget locations and lose any achievements from that exploration.  I will leave that as part of my suprise for actual headstart.

I'll be doing everything in my power to try and find a way into the Great Collapse in Divinity's Reach.  Screenshots when I succeed.

I nominate Unlight for Wall Walker of the Year award:)

Decided to stick to the Human area and specifically give Guardian, Engineer, Warrior and Thief a try.  Don't want to spoil the other race stories and really having troubles deciding which melee character to choose.  Next beta I'll probably stick to casters and pet classes.

if i get invited and i can actually play (been sick with bronchitis) i will prolly run around trying out the engineer and explore some. :)

Here's the thing, I don't want to ruin much of the story for myself SO, I'm going to try a few classes that interest me, explore as much as possible and let the 'dynamic event' system speak for itself.

i've been saying for at least a year now i would be playing a guardian on release as my main ... however ... i've been getting secound thoughts.

So ill be trying out the following proffesions:

- Elementalist

- Guardian

- Engineer

And let the event system amaze me

Will you be exploring WvWvW trying to find ambush locations and track supply lines ? Nope, not a PVPer I am sure it will be fine for later when I do venture in.

Will you be playing Structure PVP to avoid spoilers from PVE? Same as above

Will you be exploring the Scenery ? YES!

Will you be dungeon crawling till you know where all the traps are? Perhaps, but only if I get that far..

Will you be doing all the puzzles ? Not all but definately a few

What is your plans for Beta Weekend?!?!? Event, gaining skill in my prof, trying underwater combat.. testing pets more since they have some issues

Here's my list:

Playing a few classes to decide which will be my first and second (I'll probably play two at once and they'll be "co-mains")

Exploring a couple of the major cities

I will be SAVING both Asura and Sylvari and NOT playing them because I don't want to spoil the experience for release ( they will be my "co-main's" races).

Checking out all the vendor prices and the cash shop as well (I'm not opposed to the item shop, had one in EQ2 for years and it never bothered me, even bought a couple of things)

Trying my hand at cooking (crafting).

Practicing dodging and trying to eliminate my bad habit of half keyboarding and half clicking.  I usually click on stuff bound to 6 or 7 and up.....very bad habit.

Those are my big plans. :)

going to figure out which class to start with, thief or warrior .. and what kind of builds would be possible with them. im also going to be pvping a lot, checking out how big the world feels and how my computer handles the game :)

This beta event will be my chance to experience the Game with all High Settings and see how lagging it becomes. And getting used to the UI.

I know a few that will be playing exactly what they will be playing on launch, hoping to get that bit of an edge on others. But with the downscaling and non-gear grind mode, I think many will eventually realize that rushing through is not as good as pacing yourself.

Personally I can't decide on which profession to become, Warrior has always been my first choice, then comes Mesmer and now Guardian beta footages. Its becoming more and more difficult to figure out which professions to use. NO wonder they are selling character spots. : )

How many will actually do their best to avoid the stories?

I think I will play either an Engineer or Mesmer, since they're two classes which I'm interested in, but not sure if I'd want them to be my main.  Hopefully I'll be able to use the Asura and/or Sylvari, since I'm really curious to see how those races are shaping up.

After that, if those both go very well, I'll probably have to play a Thief to make sure it still deserves to be my main at launch.

Exploring is a huge draw for me in the final product, so I'll try not to do it during the betas - but it's also one of my favorite things to do in new games, so that's going to be really tough to ignore.

I'll probably wind up playing a lot of World-versus (V8? Haha) just to avoid PvE spoilers.

...

But first, I have to figure out how I'm ever going to be able to give up a whole weekend to play this game.  (You know, without pounding a few nails into my proverbial real-life coffin.)

i'm not gunna play charr because i don't want to spoil the fun formyself.

But there a re a few professions that I want to try because I started wanting to play guardian, but feel like it will be a bit boring, so I wanna try the thief, mesmer and necromancer.

I also want to figure out whether I want to start playing immediatly in the WvW, because being able to play that right after the tutorial is awesome and I intend to play it that way.

you probably should, even if just for a little while to make sure you like them as much as you think you do :)
