• Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!

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

Well, mumble works for me, woo. Dont have a mic so seemed kinda pointless to stay

As for possible issues, I actually got that error when I went through the backwards compatible mumble. I tried again on the non-backasswards one and it worked fine
 
Sooo ... I have played the first beta, find it okish since keep defense was alot like DAoC but the perfomance sucked. I read about the perk system changes ... but thats all. Anything other major changes?
 
I'M NOT YELLING!

Yeah, you are.
Also, your mic is too close to your mouth.
Also, you got your ass handed to you by a jar of pasta sauce.

Optimization, skill/trait tweaks, bug fixes... it's a little too late in the game to expect major changes.
 
I'll try reinstalling. Unfortunately it's dinna' time so you guys will probably be wrapping it up. Either way I'll get this shit working for tomorrow!
 
You can preorder/prepurchase now. Go look at amazon, they have digital preorders if you dont want a box.

Ah, yes, just looked on the official website and saw the order page, too. Thanks.

It seems to be the same, but there isn't any difference from ordering direct from the official website, or using Amazon digital download is there?

well, you get 5 bucks off your next game purchase if you go through amazon. that green place or whatever gets you a 20% off next purchase, i think
 
Ah, right, thanks.

Hmm, will this be the thing to make me forget about Diablo 3? lol

Diablo 3 should of made you forget about diablo 3.


Because it's the essence of what a ranger is?

Because they have lower range than some other classes, now?

Actually no it isn't. People tend to relate rangers as ranged class in games, but that's not their real definition. There's quite a few well known rangers in fantasy that don't rely on ranged weaponry (drizzt, Aragorn). That said... ranger has access to melee options that are just as good as any other class, why should they then get a range option thats better than all classes?
 
New to Guild Wars 2 beta, hope to play with friendly people during beta/live. Does GAF have a specific group to play with? I haven't kept up with this thread since last BWE.

Plan on rolling a Sylvari Guardian this weekend, in preparation for release.
 
So this weekend beta thing I keep hearing about. Is it only for pre purchasers? Or are they giving out keys for people to try the game out? Im interested, would be nice, but Im not sure I want to buy the game. Sucks I didnt make it into any earlier sections of the beta, heh.

There's been various beta key giveaways on different sites. I am not sure which ones are still running the giveaways.

There have been a few giveaways the past couple of days, but since we're only 20 hours away, I don't think there are many keys left. Some people might still have extra, and the best way for you to get a key is ask on NeoGAF as well as follow the arenanet twitter and wait till they do another giveaway.

They have also given out a bunch of Beta keys if you know where to look. I ended up grabbing a spare, but it looks like I couldn't convince my friend to play. You want the key?

Sure, but only if you can't find another Gaffer that is/was down on their luck and unable to get a key. Id hate to waltz in and possibly take a key from someone who has been entering all the contests and just had bad luck. But I would definitely love to play though :D
 
I wouldn't mind grabbing a key if anyone has a spare. Reading up on this game is interesting. I never did get around to playing the first one.

edit: but if anyone can't afford the pre order at the moment, they should probably get one first.

Well I wasn't planning on making a big deal about finding the most worthy recipient. I just don't want it to go to waste so I was going to give it to the first person who asked. Anyway, I figure its better to give it to someone on the fence who just might become a new convert. I'll PM the code as soon as I dig it up.

Edit- Sent. If you don't use it, let me know so I can pass it along to someone else.

Awesome thanks alot
 
Does anyone know if we'll be able to change our character's appearance, gender, or race after we create it?

Not sure. I would hope they have a cash shop item like Cosmetic Surgery. At the very least, a barber option.

As of now, though, nothing.
 
Thanks for the answer. I always having trouble choosing what I want my character to look like, especially in a game I'll be playing for a long time.

I was hoping they'd have a gem shop item that would let you change your character, but I guess I'll use this final beta to figure out what I want each of my characters to look like, just in case they don't.
