Just bought and downloaded, says I get a 3day head start.
I will be casual player if rolling a cp guild. |
gw2 is built for casual players as much as it is for hardcore players.
its gonna be the bomb. |
I'm so excited for this game. Still haven't decided what server I'm going to. I know you can do multiple guilds so ill be down for a cp guild if one is made.

Someone PM the server most will be on to form a CP guild.
How many are going to be doing the WvWvW ? That is my main interest. |
When does it drop?
|
Not sure why we are pMing? Myself and my guild (www.alttabme.com) will be rolling yaks bend.
I will be doing some pve but mostly WvW. I expect yaks bend to be a force to reckon with in WvW, as well as sorrows furnace and jade quarry. Pretty sure that they are going to mix up who each server goes against every couple of weeks depending on performance. |

My friends and I decided on Yak's Bend too. I think I'm rolling an Asuran Necro first. Edit: As for PvE / PvP I'll be doing both depending on what I wanna do when I login. |
Another Stress Test Tues August 21st 2-6pm CST.
I'm working those hours but thought those around that could jump on it would like to know. |

It's a pretty awesome group of people, check out the site and apply if you want. |

Hey hometeam, what's your name on the guild roster? Filling out an application, and I figure it wouldn't hurt to say that I learned about the guild from you. Seems like a pretty chill group of people, and games like this are always 100x more fun when you've got a good community to play it with.
|
Never mind, just submitted the application. If you like it, maybe you could identify yourself on its thread, haha.
EDIT: The guild leader wants to know who I'm talking about, so I'd really appreciate it if you could drop by. |
Bought the CE this am and dinked around for few hours during today's stress test.
Couldnt get on the Yaks server, it was full. Hope that doesn't mean I have to do paid realm transfer... I assume not since its just beta. Played a norn warrior. Definately a change from WoW. Trying to break my WoW habit, hope this will help me avoid the xpac. |
You will get to choose a new server when the game launches. In the first few weeks they are going to leave server transferes open until population settles down.
Also, you are right in your post, I am Falx on there. I told Tristan that it was me you where looking for~ |
Thanks dude, appreciate it. Can't wait until the game is out!
|
Guesting will be disabled on launch. This feature will be implemented later, just not at launch
Just FYI guys. http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/08...nsfers-and-re/ |
Aight, I just bought the Digital Deluxe Edition as well. Whoever posted that video of those 4 nerds talking about the game for 2 hours, you're the reason I got this game. :D
|
Anyone have a good source for primers? Would like to have a better understanding of game mechanics, builds, etc.
Also, good forums? |

If anyone knows of more links for BB's and such let me know I'll add them to the OP. |
Stress test is still running, I thought I was gonna miss out. They must've extended it.

Just got my 3rd monitor up and running.
https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...59141184_o.jpg GW2 supports 3 monitors @ a 5760x1080 resolution. I have a massive hard on. :D |

Note to self: Must update newegg wishlist. |
what setup?
With the newest drivers/engine changes I am not even keeping a steady 60 in heavy traffic areas, (WvW with LOTS of physics and stuff going on) and thats with the newest 6 core oced @ 4.8ghz and a single gtx 670 oced. At that resolution you better be at the very least dual graphics or more :P |
After playing a bit yesterday. Once the game goes live for prepurchasers, does that mean we also get a headstart on server choiceor all the people in beta retain those spots? Might be my only chance to get into yaks bend.

Everything done through beta is now wiped and we start afresh early Sat. |

6gb Memory ATi 6870HD video card nary a problem. :D |
Not sure what the problem is then.. my processor and graphics card are twice as good.. are you running ultra high settings w/ supersampling? Im maxed out nearly all the time except in WvW fighting at walls with 100+ people running around and all the physics that go with it. Should still be maxed out in my mind. Maybe its the drivers.
As for head start, be at your computer at 11pm CST friday night if you want to get in and get your name reserved, Headstart was originally slated for 2am CST but they mentioned that they may open it up 3 hours prior at 11pm. gogogogo! |
So is yaks bend the consensus?
Posted via Mobile Device |
I'm considering this but I'm not sure.
|
All i know is that myself and sonofabier will be rolling there (provided he gets accepted into my guild)
Other than that, some of the other major groups on Yaks bend will include the gw2guru guild, and the gamebreaker.tv guild Again, server transfers will be free at first, so if you cant get on yaks bend, or dont like it, you can move to or from at will in the first few days/weeks of launch. |

Yeah, I'll be on Yak's Bend too, you guys!

Monthly fees are already pretty much gone. GW2 will be the nail in the coffin they need.
|
Guildwars 2 currently occupies 4 out of the top 5 slots of Amazon gaming. This is going to be so huge.
|
Hmmmm...how much is it out of the gate? $60?
|
60 bucks but there have been a ton of pre-order sales around 45-50$ from 3rd party sellers. Just had a 1 hour stress test impromptu.. i saw canofbier~
|
Damn...I have to wait till next paycheck, if that. Till then I'll play Dragon Nest.

Just updated OP with thread info. I think adding account/toon names (after creation of course) would be a good idea.
Any objections??? |

I ran Shift 2 with AA on and everything maxed and was running 33 FPS on a single card that has been mildly overclocked. |
I'm jealous. I'm running a dual core athlon 2.8 mhz, nvidia 9600 gt, 150 gig raptor w/ 8g of memory. All displayed on a 19" LCD.
Been a couple years since I built me a new system, yup it's time. I've always been a loyal AMD user but I think Intel is cleaning up the market. I'm switching, bye bye AMD. |
What's the deal with this "headstart" that's been mentioned a couple times?
|
From the FAQ:

Anyone else buy the CE version and did you get your "practice CE" items on one of the stress tests?
Got a 1000pt influence bonus for the guild, 3000pvp pts, a miniture, and nice trophey apparel item with stats across the board and an instance access to storage. With all the time I pull in GW1 to complete my Hall of Monuments along with the CE bonus's, I'm gonna be loaded right out of the gate. |

I actually have the money sitting in my paypal to order my second gtx 670 for SLI but they are out of stock on newegg. I did however see on the official arenanet post about graphics cards that ATI cards in general where getting better framerates as compared to the nvidia counterparts of similar 'power' . Im sure it has to do with exactly how the graphics are being handled. Either way im || this close to pulling the trigger on my 2nd 670, or my 120hz monitor. Decisions decisions. As for headstart. My vacation starts when I leave work tonight, and goes until wed. SO I have all day tommorrow to get ready, sleep, then get up and play all night, and for the next few days. Im gonna stock up on foods and drinks and not come out until the sun burns me like a vampire~ YAKS BEND PEOPLE! On the topic of names/account names, I am more than willing to share mine once the game gets going. |

I just got the regular digital download pre-purchase, but it did come with a single item, and everyone recieved any pre-order items during the 1 hour stress test yesterday, as well as the previous 4 hour one on tuesday. They are pretty much ready to rock. RUmor is that yesterdays stress test was very close to the final build since all of the areas where actually open instead of cordoned off. |
was just in the stress test. pulling 33 FPS on average. I really need that second card me thinks.

Im running a single 22 inch at 1920x1080.
With ultra settings, and supersampling i get 60 (monitor max) everywhere except lions arch, where its about 51-52 and really heavy WvW environments where it drops to the low 40s This is with; i7 3930k @ 4.8ghz, evga gtx 670ftw, 16gb corsair dominator, force gt SSD So yea, i have an extremely beastly system, but its still not enough to max the game in all situations even on a single monitor. Nvidia has promised a 20-70% increase in the next driver, which is supposed to release today or tommorrow, so I feel ok about it. All that being said during bwe3 I played on a q6600@3.1 and a hd6870 and it was playable on medium high settings. |
Yeah... I 'm gonna pull the trigger on that second card. This is money I was not expecting to spend but if this 3 monitor thing is worth doing... it's worth doing right. :D
Dual 6870's FTW. /edit - bought the other one. I'll install as soon as I get it and report back with FPS. |
Okay..I bought it.
|
Tonights the night! Get patched up and ready as they have already released 2 new updates today.
Somewhere between 11pm-2am the servers will open up. YAKS BEND! Be there or be a bronco fan for life. |
