A quick question. If anyone tries to log in now what error do you get? I'm getting "incorrect password" and I can't tell if that's a default thing being thrown up or if I actually can't remember my password correctly!

I actually reset mine, just in case.

hmm mine says GW2 encountered an unknown error, not the wrong password

 

[Wes]

Alright, good to know. I'll try and figure out how to change it.

Edit: Phew their e-mail system isn't under any stress right now. Changed it and now I'm getting the same screen as you.

 

[Retro]

I'm getting "There is no event running" error.

 

[Kos Luftar]

God dammit! Always end up posting the last msgs on a page! Don't have the skills of the Retroman!

 

[Ikuu]

Hopefully I'll enjoy this weekend more, past weekends have dropped my hype considerably.

 

[Keasar]

Was cross-server Guilds implemented this time around? So we all try to gather in one guild both in EU and NA? Havent been much fun spending the last two betas alone.

That's always worked.

 

[Keasar]

They have?

...Damn. So who do you try to contact to join up? I tried finding any GAFers last time on Gandara but failed miserably.

Obvoiusly there is something wrong with you or the way you are playing...probably both!

 

[chiablo]

some tips for taking screenshots that might be useful:

- You can enable high-resolution screenshots by going to “Control Options” in your options menu, scrolling down to “Screenshot: High Res”, and assigning a key for it.

- If you want your character out of the frame for a landscape shot, try /sleep to make your character drop below the frame.

- Hide the UI with Ctrl+Shift+H

- The high res screenshots are in .jpg format and saved in C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Guild Wars 2\Screens (They are anywhere from 4-12 mb in size and come in 7680 x 4320 resolution)

 

[Complistic]

For people worrying about the error message when you try to log in, don't worry about it. It's been inconsistent for everyone the last 2 bwe as well.

try rolling a character on Gate of Madness. You can still switch your server later on. At least that's what I'm going to do.

Question: Name reservation.

Since we have that cross server play with friends feature, does that mean one person can only have one unique name for the entire game rather than per server?

Bumping to new page.

 

[Ikuu]

Maybe. Might just be the fact that I'm not attached to the character as it's just a beta.

Names are unique across the entire game I believe.

Yes, names are unique across all servers.

But that is a American server, I wanna play European.

 

[Wes]

Europeans will be going on Gandara it appears. BWE2 was tricky because the server we had chosen from BWE1 became a French server and everyone seemed to scatter wildly as a result.

Gandara should be better this weekend for finding people as there is a wipe.

But really, it doesn't matter if you can't find GAF people to play with (outside WvW) as the whole point of GW2 is that being around more people, no matter which guild they're from, isn't a bad thing. In fact it's a good thing.

 

[Tambini]

I'll probably roll on Gandara actually. So you may not be completely alone

Yeah, but you do kinda wanna also play with people you "know".

Yaay!

 

[benny_a]

Gandara it is!

 

[Azzurri]

Is GW2 anything like GW1? I didn't like GW1, but GW2 doesn't seem anything like GW1.

 

[shysaursoft]

It's nothing like GW1.

 

[Tevos]

It's really nothing like GW1. To the point where if you took out the lore and changed the names of towns, you could call it something completely unrelated and it'd still fly.

That's one of my biggest complaints against the game, key elements of the game that were insanely fun in GW1 (pvp in particular) isn't as good in GW2. I'd take GW1's pvp over the random particle effect fest conquest pvp in GW2.

 

[thetrin]

Well, if you're gonna miss hearing my sexy, sexy voice, at least you picked the Best Star Trek to do it with. You'll have plenty of times to get an earful over the weekend and at launch.

Daaaamn right. When I hop on today, I'll be sure to hop onto mumble.

That's actually a big selling point for me. I didn't really like GW1.

me too

 

[schwupp]

is there any set time for the bwe to start?
cant find anything.

 

[Tevos]

Yeah, that definitely seems to be what they're going for. GW1 was pretty niche comparatively. GW2 is still a great game, but I *know* when die-hard GW1 players play the full game, they will wonder if it could be any more different than GW1. I know I was expecting a completely different game.

3 EST or 12 PST

sPvP is definitely inferior to GvG.

 

[JonCha]

Does someone have the Xpadder setup link?

Edit: and PvP in GW2 is way more fun, and accessible, in GW2, I think.

 

[Azzurri]

It's not heavily instanced like GW1 right? More of a seemless world.

 

[Violet_0]

yep, that's by far the best change from GW1

 

[Kayo-kun]

Tried every possible way to find a key, but they've all seem to have ran out at the moment (atleast EU). I guess I'll be watching a stream this weekend, can't wait to see the new races.

 

[Wes]

They have set times but the past two BWEs have started anything up to 50 minutes early. So I would start checking in about an hour's time from now.

Good luck to their new server config.

 

[Ricker]

Let's hope they start it a little earlier,like one of the first BWE...I will check a lot starting at 2 EST.

 

[flyinpiranha]

Dammit, I try and login and it says "dumbshit, you're at work, the game is not here and you won't be home for another 5.5 hours"

Kind of rude IMO.

 

[thetrin]

Uh oh, I'm not sure if I should go to Henge of Denravi and play with goons, or go to Gates of Madness and play with you fine gents.

Screw it, I'll play on Gates of Madness. How am I going to forgive myself for missing out on Retro's sultry, sexy mumble voice?

 

[Jira]

Is GW2 anything like GW1? I didn't like GW1, but GW2 doesn't seem anything like GW1.

GW2 really only shares a name, lore, some professions(classes) and a few small other things, but otherwise is an entirely new game.

Read my thread:

http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/1058358-Guild-Wars-2-Mass-info-for-the-uninitiated-READ-ME!

Oh and there was a small patch released this morning some time.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Yes, names are unique across all servers.

Woop, didn't see.

Thanks guys. Although that kinda sucks.

The good thing is that early name reservation is limited to GW1 characters, which will be two words only. I can still nab one word names at early start.

 

[Deleted member 10571]

talking about it, how will you do it? Will you take your time with the character editor and then choose a name to grab? Or will you hurry through it just to get the name, and worry about creating the actual character later? How would that even work, since you'd have to delete the taken name character for that?

Can someone hook me up with the means to use a 360 controller? Really want to test that out for this BWE. I followed Hawkian's original post, but his profile didn't contain GW2 in it.

Create Character -> Skip to End -> Enter Name -> Skip to End -> Logout -> Repeat

I have 2 names I absolutely must have and another two I'd like to have.

 

[theMrCravens]

What's the command to access the old client again ?

-oldclientsomething

I can't recall.

Yeah I'm gonna grab all the names, work for a couple of hours, then make my real characters.

Finally installed Mumble, but I'll probably be afraid of using it.
