[Iadien]

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.

female Asura have some nightmare fuel face options

Man the zerging of the events really murders performance. I hope later events are much more interesting and not just about mass zergs

 

[Vano]

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.

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.

 

[Snapshot King]

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

 

[Atrophis]

Well I guess my pc was playing silly buggers. Restarted and it's running much better. Max settings go.

 

[schwupp]

if i join someones personal story - will that count as progress for me or do i have to play my own again?

 

[kayos90]

Performance Issues? Here's the tweet from ANet.

[JonCha]

I'm in - the game and the guild. Will be on later for a proper session.

 

[HappyPuppy]

Questions. Is the mumble server on? can't connect.
Are characters going to be stored on retail version?
Thanks.

 

[Jack_AG]

40fps for that type of rig to me doesn't sound good.

Similar setup here.
i5 at 4.2
570 at 850/2000
16 gigs.
20-40 on max

Depressing.

Mumble is up, try running as admin, updating your version of mumble, or restarting.
Characters are erased after this Event.

Props Retro. Like your Avatar, it's cute.

 

[Arken2121]

Alright so for those guardians out there complaining about Whirling wrath rooting you, no more. You can now cast it on the move.

 

[Hawkian]

First time trying this, really wanted to like it but I just can't have that graphical style - Looks way too Final Fantasy esque inspired. Shame

Whoa, FF-esque?

 

[Violet_0]

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.

 

[tci]

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.

 

[Deitus]

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

 

[Trey]

I had a feeling the beta would start before the stated time.

 

[Hawkian]

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

 

[CoLaN]

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.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

I am heartbroken that my CD key is not working. Something is wrong with my account.

 

[flyinpiranha]

What's up with the real pics as avatars anyway? Is that a GAF thing I'm unaware of?

Have you done any multi-event chains yet?

[ShaneB]

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.

 

[gatti-man]

performance is great for me 2560x1600 on a 7970 4ghz i7. everything at max but shadows (med).

What? Personal story is the one aspect of the game meant to be played solo, or perhaps with a very special friend

 

[Lucifon]

Unknown Error: 122

Anyone else getting this? Can't login.

 

[Trey]

I can't log on either. Oh well. It'll come through eventually.

 

[Thoraxes]

Who do I whisper for an invite?

 

[Jagxyz]

First time playing, I think I'm doing something wrong, since I can't seem to whisper for an invite.

Character : Thorgam

 

[Absinthe]

If someone can send me a guild inv please

Absinthe.8132

in-game character is Absinthex

 

[Thoraxes]

PM Retro or Jira in-game to get a Guild Invite!

Edit: Nvm, game must be being weird not letting me contact you guys.

So is it Chelmo or is the game giving me random names.

 

[Snapshot King]

PM Retro or Jira in-game to get a Guild Invite!

How? Seriously, I haven't tried the whispering systen yet. Do we whisper your character names or your account names or what? And what ARE your account/character names?

 

[aramanKain]

Either. Guilds a region free.



Those ARE our in-game names. We're that cool.

Neither of you are online :\

If someone could throw me an invite... in game name "Aramann" (how someone got Araman so quickly is beyond me)

 

[Lucifon]

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!

 

[Cipherr]

Mines keeps saying cannot connect to the game server, anyone else get that?

 

[tci]

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.

 

[r4z4]

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!

 

[Vano]

Someone sniped it yep. Gotta be fast!

 

[demolitio]

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.

 

[r4z4]

Someone sniped it yep. Gotta be fast!

Yep sniped! Just found someone in game with my beta name by searching. To be fair 'Elle Mental' isn't really unique but it sucks either way

 

[Felix Lighter]

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

 

[demolitio]

Damn, Gate of Madness is full.

 

[Jagxyz]

I have no idea what I'm doing.

 

[thetrin]

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.
