Guild Wars 2 Launch Date announced: August 28th, 2012

Well, I figured out why I couldn't login, there's a bug with the launcher. lol Sigh. I believe the launcher was trying to login with my email address x2. example: blah@blah.comblah@blah.com. holding down the delete key in the account field brought up my email address twice.
 
Doubtful, sounds like there's bigger issues at hand if it hasn't been fixed since the last two BWE. Also I can't recall a single time whenever someone says "release it'll be improved" and it actually happened. Especially with a month to go.

Well right now i'm with a steady 60fps, did the final fight of the sylvari intro with 60fps, so far so good.
 
Man the zerging of the events really murders performance. I hope later events are much more interesting and not just about mass zergs

Just because there's an influx of people. First beta weekend I was there when gates opened, it was zerg tastic. Second I wasn't, and took my time. So events only had handfuls of people, and were much more sane.

Just gotta seperate yourself from the pack.
 
Yeah, huge performance increase sInce the first and second beta weekends. Considering optimization is always the last part of development, Im sure itll be fine by release. And now to go to work :(
 
Rata Sum is a rather boring city.

oh, and they fixed the Thief downed state stealth ability. The stealth lasts much shorter now, but you can choose where to teleport to.
 
Might join you guys a bit later. What server are you on?

edit: Crap, how big is the update? On a crappy connection this weekend.
 
if i join someones personal story - will that count as progress for me or do i have to play my own again?


It does not count towards your own progress. This make sense considering your personal story is determined by your race, your choices made during character creation, as well as choices made during the story itself. It really is a personal story. It wouldn't make sense if progress in someone else's story skipped ahead missions in your own story.
 
oh well, I was only passing through on my way to Lion's Gate :)

it certainly wasn't very pretty, anyways

I'd say something harsh like "NEITHER ARE YOU" but you appear to be using a real pic avatar and that would certainly be undue. So let's just say that I may not agree with the words you say but I'll defend to the Mists your right to say them
 
For some reason the game isn't clicking for me. I'm still going to play more, since it can take a while before i start to really enjoy a MMO.

I just don't find the first events engaging enough (or as innovative as i was expecting), but i guess they will get better and better, so i will give it time.

Have you done any multi-event chains yet?

What's up with the real pics as avatars anyway? Is that a GAF thing I'm unaware of?
:D
 
Have been completely in the dark lately, and my interest in GW2 really nosedived with all the other games I've been playing and buying via Steam and whatnot. A shame really since I remember being so excited and paying full price.

Downloading the updates now and will log in later and I'm sure the fun will all come back, but still :(

messes up group play big game - we are playing with 5 people .. everyone playing their personal story to progress.
sucks.
 
Just found out Error 122 means your key has been blocked:

If you receive an Error 122, that means that your code was disabled. Most likely this means that you received a fraudulent code from a third-party seller. If that is the case, you will need to contact the seller and get a refund so that you can purchase the game directly from buy.guildwars2.com or from a legitimate reseller.

The Error 122 is very specific and does point to a disabled code. If you purchased your code directly from us using a legitimate credit card, and you feel that you received the message in error, please submit a Support Ticket.

Thank you.

What an absolute joke - fuming!
 
Looks like it will take around 6-8 hours until the update is complete for me.

Why did I forget to update at my apartment before I left :(

Well, might see you guys tomorrow if I get the time.
 
Hmm, so characters are wiped but my previous beta name is taken. \either the old names are still in the name database or somebody sniped by previous beta name already?! Gonna have to be quick at launch!

Someone sniped it yep. Gotta be fast!
 
Ugh, I'm out of town Saturday and Sunday AGAIN just like the last beta weekend. I miss playing with you guys in WvW. So many good times missed due to family members...lol

What server we in now? Edit: Got it, Madness it is.
 
With Shadows set to Medium, High or Ultra (all three settings seem to have the same impact on performance) I get between 35-60, in most cases it stays in the 45 fps range. With shadows on low or none, I seem to get a relatively consistent 60 fps.

None of the other settings seem to make any real difference performance wise.

My specs:

i7 920 @ 3.9 Ghz
Radeon HD7970
8 GB Ram
 
Just participated in my first event chain. I'm in love with this game.

Saw another gaffer participate. I'm Trinian Bakara, Asura Guardian. Gimme a holler if you see me.
