Support NeoGAF

[MustacheBandit_]

So when GW2 goes live, Do we have to download a new client?

no

 

[Songbird]

Looks like I won't be playing tonight. Had a memory management bsod and now my system won't power on.

 

[Proven]

By the second hour of the stress test, I'll be in the Henge of Denravi Borderlands looking for GAF people. Be prepared!

 

[Weltall Zero]

I don't get the necro one. Actually! The total recall reference made me laugh. Thank you.

The Necro one is possibly the most farfetched, but I honestly didn't know what else to put there (except for a WoW Warlock). It's the Death of Discworld, with the Death of Rats besides it. Because of the scythe (i.e. the effect on the Warlock's staff 1 ability), and the Death of Rats as a Bone Minion.
Yeah... the least inspired one. In my defense, I barely played the class yet.

Still, if you got all the other ones, that's more than I expected in general. I guess they weren't as farfetched/personal as I though?

 

[ParityBit]

What time tonight is it going to be EST?

 

[red13th]

If you're in the US Amazon is your best bet.

Green Man isn't doing the 3 day early/beta thing anymore.

"PURCHASES ON OR AFTER 8TH AUGUST WILL NOT INCLUDE THE 3 DAY EARLY ACCESS OR ACCESS TO BETA WEEKENDS!

ACTIVATION KEYS WILL BE SENT OUT IN TIME FOR THE RELEASE DATE OF 28TH AUGUST 2012!"

Good thing I pre-purchased mine last week! Leaving work early to play it today.

What time tonight is it going to be EST?

in 40 min (3-7)

Well I didn't get the warrior either. But I justified vergil because of his blue swords and the guardian's blue spirit weapons. I don't know if thats what you were going for, since I only know vergil through marvel vs capcom.

 

[Tambini]

Phew, I just had a big scare. I thought I broke my PC (an hour before the stress test too!)

 

[Hawkian]

A quickly thrown together one. Some might be hard to get why; I have my reasons.

Wow those are awesome picks. Now I want to play everything.

My favorite X-man as my class of choice

That, and the one handed sword felt quite Vergil-like; one of its abilities is an instant teleport-and-stab with a flash, and another has you slashing the air repeatedly and sending slash waves.

The warrior one is Manji, from Blade of the Immortal. That one panel is like the third in the comic and his introduction; he has like several dozen different weapons arranged all around him. Much like the warrior has an absurd range of weapon choices.

And now I've realized that a better fit for the engineer is not only much more obvious, it's also MY FREAKING AVATAR. I really should have thought this through. <slaps self>

23 min...

 

[GasProblem]

*login* *login* *login*

Awww, come on already guys, put those servers up

 

[Raxious]

[Wallach]

Yeah, the chars weren't wiped so we don't have much choice.

 

[ComputerMKII]

Whatever happens, gentlemen, remember that you are good soldiers, the fatherland shall recognize your sacrifice.

 

[docbon]

yeesh.

updated last night, and now I'm 2.4gbs into another fuckhuge patch. i have this suspicion that my copy of the patcher is completely borked.

 

[Proven]

A few minutes to go...

 

[Levyne]

Have fun guys..I'm stuck at work

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Hammer those log in servers!

 

[foladar]

They're making us wait since the last few times we got on early.

 

[Complistic]

oh noes they're 1 minute late

 

[Mr. Luchador]

oh noes they're 1 minute late

Clearly the game is going to fail.

 

[Llyranor]

Which server is GAF using?

 

[Complistic]

damn it, I got onto the character select screen then it kicked me off.

 

[ComputerMKII]

Which server is GAF using?

For Europe it's Gandara.

 

[GasProblem]

Game client is unable to gain acces to the log-in server

 

[DarkSloth]

damn it, I got onto the character select screen then it kicked me off.

Same thing happened to me. All this stress!!!

 

[Azzurri]

Maybe Mesmer will be buffed.

 

[theMrCravens]

Not working.
Time to cancel preorders guys.

 

[Proven]

For NA, most of GAF is on Gates of Madness, with a handful spilled over to Henge of Denravi. Try to join Gates first.

I got in, then it kicked me out. Just got in again.

 

[Panda Rin]

Due to the delay, we should be given a 19 day headstart to compensate for our suffering .

 

[Llyranor]

Hahaha, servers are being hammered

 

[fluffydelusions]

Due to the delay, we should be given a 19 day headstart to compensate for our suffering .

Totally agree

 

[jersoc]

Not working.
Time to cancel preorders guys.

already did, what a failure.







can only play for a few hours before work. hurry up servers

 

[Proven]

Got kicked again.

 

[shysaursoft]

DON'T OPEN YEAR 7 OR EVEN YEAR 6, MAYBE EVEN YEAR 5. Selling a year 7 present will get you a guaranteed 30 ectos.

Found I have a year 7 present, unopened. But I'm not sure what I should use 30 ectos for, if I manage to sell it?

 

[Deleted member 10571]

wasn't there a similar thing last time, where you just had to put down your antivir or firewall or something?

edit: also made it JUST in time, I'm the master of time management.

 

[Complistic]

Not working.
Time to cancel preorders guys.

Contacting the FTC now

 

[fluffydelusions]

edit: ugh just kicked out

 

[Hackbert]

[Vigilant Walrus]

How could this happen to me,
I made my mistakes,
Got no servers to log on,

now im fading away,
im sick of this life,
how could this happen to me????

 

[DarkSloth]

Yo daaaamn, almost killed one bandit before it kicked me out.

 

[Raxious]

[Pat]

anyway, is mumble down for u guys as well?

Yep.

 

[Goodacre0081]

in the options screen i want to make my UI larger but there isn't any Apply/OK button. is this because it's only a stress test?

 

[Violet_0]

[etiolate]

Heh same error messages as last stress test.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

[shysaursoft]
