Final thoughts: Today is the big day and i hope everyone has as much fun as i have had just aimlessly adventuring and stumbling into one entertaining, exciting and fun thing after another close to non stop.. The personal stories are awesome, fun and challenging and co-exist very well with the real game world nobody should miss trying this excellent feature out as you move along.. I could tell you about many awesome things that i encountered just in the PvE world not counting the WvW when i played but alas soon you will get to tell of your own adventures in this game.. But dont expect to recall it all at once! Have fun and enjoy! Playing GW2.. |

I was looking forward to having my headset on and playing with your guild. So as I discovered new things I could listen to what you all were doing untill we jumped into WvW. Well, it seems my granddaughter, 'Pipper' will come after school and stay all weekend to play the game with my son. So no use in me even getting on Vent but I may check you guys out as I have set vent up thanks to Star. Pipper loves Playing betas and gets alot of harrassment from boys at school who think it unfair she gets to play betas like Starwars and Guid Wars2. 'No fair you are a girl'. I can not believe they say that, lol. Games are for girls, lmao. I can watch Pipper and my son play as I twiddle my thumbs and tease her, ' I want my game back',lol. Ready for WAR waaaaaaaaaaah |

I have been following the game since i was first mentioned to exist by it's founder.I really wnted to keep my distance from the game as it approached launch(how many times have we all been burned by promises not kept).I guess it's the optomist in me.I went out and bought the game(with a little..ok a lot...of prompting from my better half).Yes ,i'm excited.I remember my days in UO...just going out to explore...to collect feathers for my arrows.To socialize.If this game can even come close to those memories.
And on the other side....like some here I'm a long time (now x) DAOC player.The WvW conflict is what got me to buy the game.I love keep tower fights...A LOT. 5H 22m 23s |

The giant, GIANT zerg of people in the start zones will be horrible. But there is still WvWvW, huzzah.

Most of all, I want to put ArenaNet's claims about the game to the test. I want to simply strike out into the world and adventure and hopefully discover tons of things to do and experience.
This is exactly, what i'll put to the test, to see if the hype and fuzz really has something to back the claims! I'll skip the whole WvWvW part for the duration of this test, just because, well what you see in the videos is most propably what you'll get... and that to me will be something i rather not "spoil" for myself untill launch (if i will get the game come launch) For now, i'll just go about exploring and see if it really is something "awesomely new and innovative"
And i'm going at it with a neutral mindset with slight hope that it actually is something new and exciting!
Currently playing: FTB Ultimate Waiting for: Wildstar, ArcheAge, Class4. Dead and Buried: GW2, SWTOR, Darkfall, AO, AC2, Vanguard, CoH/V, EnB, EVE, Neocron, FE, EQ, EQ2, DAoC, FFXI, SWG, WoW, and billions of eastern junks! |

Originally posted by Gorwe I am suprised Mike doesn't also want/expect GW2 to bring about world peace and an end to famine. Seriosly folks, GW2 is an updated GW. When you play the beta bear that one in mind. Yes, there is a pretty good game there. But replay value isn't that high. GW has sold about 6.5 million copies since lunch...but are there 6.5 million players logging in every day still. Heck, no. The game isn't really an mmo, as ArenaNet do admit, so I am predicting strong sales at launch, and people going elsewhere after a few months when there is nothing left to do.

Ahhh Maguuma, that was my cbt home server. It got steamrolled bad right away, lost every single base. Then they changed the teams for the stress test, and in just a few hours Maguuma was destroyed by the 2 new servers...
It must be very underpopulated, plus now you can use gems to swap to a new server. I'm hoping they make it so if you try to move to a high-pop server, it costs more gems, and less for a low-pop one. (and yes I know about the 2 week resets)
Also I'm not sure if our old characters from cbt are invited to this test without pre-purchasing, or if theres been a character wipe. Might be some players with lvl 30 gear running around in Wpvp... |

I fully expect they over sold the game and the login game servers to crash quickly under the load. After all this is a server stress test to be fair and honest, and I have a feeling we are all going to be quite stressed before its over. |

And for you my friend, there's EVE online. I hear Jita has already started to burn. Should be fun to watch. I'm a big ol' fluffy carewolf. Be afraid. Be very afraid. |

Not sure if I'll even try to venture into WvW too much this weekend. Want to play all 8 professions a bit in PvE to get a feel for them. Then maybe take 1-2 to WvW and instanced PvP. Damn you time, move faster! I want to be out of work and on my rig playing GW2 NEOW! MMO History: |

I have to say I'm impressed with what's been put out there about the game. Lets hope that it does meet the expectations that gamers have had about the "next generation" MMO. We could have a winner here.

Sending your character into the Mists (PvP area) is a good way to test out the characters at high levels. You get access to all your skills, including elites and utility. Although you are stuck with 2 weapons and preset traits. But still, will give you an idea of how they play at max level. There are training dummies there in the hub too. |

I like it how AreanaNet is going to steal TERA's lunch, but launching the first beta weekend event, the same time as the TERA head start. Well played, AreanaNet.
