Originally posted by IPolygon Exactly. Keep in mind that Sunday at midnight, you won't be able to play anymore... That's something I have a hard time understanding, but that's how it is. I've been in many betas before, and it's the first time beside Tera that the pre-launch open beta is limited to week ends. |

Originally posted by The_Korrigan Actually, for the first Guild Wars ANet also made use of open beta weekends instead of an unlimited open beta like WoW used. iirc, Rift also had a system of a number of beta weekends before its launch. |

Originally posted by cutthecrap I was in Rift beta, it was permanent from what I can remember - maybe it was just "outsiders" who were limited to week ends? I at least hope that there will be a beta week end at least twice a month from now on. If the game is really good, this is going to be quite annoying. |

If this game doesnt live up to my expectation, I will give up this genre all together.
Just want GW2. |

Originally posted by Praetalus No NDA and a lot of players are going to be streaming live. (I myself for my guild) and places like gamebreaker.tv I think so also. So no NDA...However no Asura or Sylvaria race and level cap is like 30 story cap is 20. except PvP is 80 but you still don't get to unlock all abilties. |

EDIT: Holy shmiz... it's The Korrigan! filmoret: One thing I have never figured out is why the game devs hardly ever fix simple problems that arise. It is like they don't care about the pvp community. Nitth: What makes you so sure its a simple fix? filmoret: Because most of them are. Sometimes its just changing a number in a code string other times its creating a few variables. However none of them should take over a few hours of coding. |

Originally posted by hikaru77 Well from all the press beta videos I have watched I haven't heard many if any ill reports. Usually they are a good indicator of games gone wrong for betas. Totalbiscuit holds not punches and every video I have seen of him playing he has been having a good time with mere negative replies. We shall see soon enough though! I don't see how it could be the biggest disappointment of the MMO history...it's just a video game! :) Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not. |

Erm, can you just tell me what's so different from Guild Wars 2 to WoW/EQ etc?
It still has tab targeting and button mashing.
It still has quests (dynamic yes) with quest text.
The PvP I've seen before, so nothing new there.
Talent trees somewhat like I've seen before.
Is the dynmaic quest thing really changing the game that much that you can't see a resemblence to WoW/EQ? I can see it.
True, it is a far off clone, but still a clone. |

GW2 is NOT a gear centric game. Similarly to other games like e.g. Asheron's Call, the skill of the PLAYER will me more important than his gear. That is the major difference between GW2 and EQ/WoW clones which are all about collecting the latest set of purple armor. The other big difference is no holy trinity. No tank/healer/dps. Once again similar to games like AC1. |

My god, I havent logged in in years..
Anyway, I have been waiting for this game for around a year now. When it was first revelead I didnt really pay any attention to it because I was so hyped up on SWTOR hoping that it would be my new fanthom of mmo's.
Sadly that game failed me in every aspect I had been hoping for, so I then looked at a GW 2 video and got immediatly hooked. These next three days will determine EVERYTHING for me. If this games fails my expectations, I will just abandon the mmo genre in general. Guild Wars 2 was a Lie. |

Originally posted by MMOExposed Why do you think people haven't been as discretely as possible.
Oh, btw... this game is not over-hyped. Just saying. Besides, haven't you seen things like this video here? I especially love things like the tower attack being repelled at the four minute mark. Has me very excited for WvW. |

Originally posted by Valua I think most don't understand just how dramatic a change the GW2 dynamic event system is. It fully embodies the philosophy of "All other players are your friends" that Anet communicated so well in the manefesto. This will have a critical impact on the community. This isn't an occasional public quest like WAR and RIFT the entire questing system is replaced with this mechanic (discliamer: Yes I know personal quests are traditional MMO fare).
It's not a game of (me Vs Environment) VS (you VS Environment) anymore. The mechanics are no longer so heavily wieghted to support a game of competitve PvE in GW2. It now truely is a Us VS Environment game. This is a huge departure from the common MMO paradigm. GW2 is the first game I have seen the truely fully embraces, philosophically anyway, the concept of a Massively Cooperative game. I almost think we should change the acronym to MCMRPG (Massively Cooperative Multiplayer Role Playing Game... Online was redundant anyway). |

I envision endless posts of "wtf server lag" and "wtf server down". It'll be interesting to see if their "cut off" was enough.
