some room will clear out

My name is FALX :P

jspchief · 08-26-2012, 12:10 AM

I'll be playing starting Monday.

I'll probably take it slow. I think the sprint to endgame has hurt my enjoyment of gaming. I know falling behind can make it harder to get in raids and such, but I just don't want to put in the time it takes to stay on the leading edge.

Javabean · 08-26-2012, 12:15 AM

I'll be getting in tomorrow or Monday. I've been too busy this weekend to play yet.

Valiant · 08-26-2012, 09:59 AM

Yeah I will be going slow also, enjoying the story so far..

**hometeam** · 08-26-2012, 11:25 AM

Guys im Falx.3758 if anyone wants to add me!

times like these I wish I had Windows. I really can't spend $200 + the $60 for the game to play this on my Mac. Damnit.

Nothing to do with GW2, but I've noticed there aren't many people that play mmos that also watch sports regularly. It's really sad.

You are talking to the wrong people.

Most are adults, they do not chat in open chat. They play while watching sportss on the bigscreen.

The vocal group is the kids/tweens..

I've really been enjoying the game so far. I love the fact that you don't have to constantly run back and forth picking up and turning in quests. It lends itself very well to a fun, free-form kind of gameplay. For once, you're actually encouraged to go out of your way to go see something.

Yeah, this game is a completionist's and achievement whore's dream. I love the way they reward exploring and it just blows my mind how they make everything you do and everything that happens around you SO ORGANIC. I've never seen shit like this before. I'm only level 10, but I've been enjoying it quite a bit so far. I haven't even tried WvWvW yet and AndChiefs says it's really fun.

You can tell they want to make it as un-grindy as possible - killing mobs gives you like no xp but helping people in all kinds of ways and participating in world events is just a windfall of xp.

so I caved and went out and got windows 7. I quickly installed it on my mac through bootcamp. I pre-purchased GW2 and tried to download the client. Of course it won't work, it downloads Gw2setup.exe, I double click that and a screen with guild wars 2 on it pops up and it says its downloading and stops at 10125kb, then just closes and disappears like nothing happened and won't launch the launcher.

So now I'm thinking I didn't install windows right, it seemed to easy honestly. So now I printed out a big guide, tried to update drivers for bootcamp but I can't, I go through the apple site and the downloads just show up in weird symbol text.

So I don't know, I made a big mistake wasting $200 on windows if I can't get it installed right. Why does it always have to be difficult
