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

I wish they had a duel system so we can do something right now lol, I guess the other option is to create another character/different race.
 
I had a play of the character creator at the tail-end of the final beta, missed the previous stress test, was looking to mess about tonight, but it seems I've got myself stuck on Lakeside County when I'd rather be on Gandara if that's going to be EuroGAF's server of choice.

Apparently beta-ers are supposed to have free gems to pay for one server switch but I don't have any. Emailed support about that.

Question for anyone here is...if I go ahead with the stress test on the server currently selected, is that me locked in and needing to pay for a switch when the game launches proper? Searched GW2 and two GW 2 forums, couldn't find anything definitive. Thanks!

At release everything but gems is reseted. So you will have to choose a new server.
 
Is it only me that is stuck with directx 9 only rendering? can´t select some of the graphics options like high res character models.

weird.. my game says renderer : dx9 but high res chars option is checked as on.
But as always, i have to trim the shadows and post processing for 30-40 fps
 
Made an asura guardian

Thinking of swapping out my Radeon HD 5750 for a GTX 560 SE - anyone have experience with the 560 SE?

How much is your budget? if you can go for a 560ti it would be better, as SE is the low end of the 560 series.

Tho if you can wait, and have the budget for a 660ti (USD 300 + taxes estimated) that would be a better choice.

The problem is my motherboard (EVGA 113-M2-E113 AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA nForce 730a HDMI ATX AMD ). It doesn't support anything higher than the 560SE, as far as I know.

But either way, $300 for a video card, no. Not a chance. :P At most, $200.

All I really want is something better than the HD 5750, without having to upgrade my MB to do it. 99% of my games run fine, it's GW2 I'm worried about.
 
Dunno if they did something but my fps have improved. 60fps steady in Brisban Wildlands.

Your motherboard support PCI-E so it will support any modern GPU. If you can push for a 560ti in the range of 199 ~ 220/230 i would recommend it, but if you can't, go for a 560 that have a range of 150 - 180 (looking at Newegg).
 
Is it worth hanging onto salvage items like shredded rag, bits of metal scrap, strands of lush kelp, etc? Or would the items salvaged from it not be worth it?
 
Working perfectly now...I have decided on a Sylvari Mesmer as my main...even though I got destroyed in the My Story part,like always...if it says the instance is level 9,don't go in there at level 8 hehe...these My Story instances really need some tuning but I guess it's too late for that...loving the game though just the same(didn't try any PvP yet,waiting for release to try that with my guild).
 
I was wondering, the Ranger has lots of melee attacks that make you evade. Does this combo with his trait Companion's Defense, which gives you Protection every time you dodge roll?
 
So much item clipping for Asura's with large weapons

These tests never help me determine my main

so far it is a tossup between

Asura Thief
Human Guardian
Asura Engineer
Human Warrior

if it wasn't for the clipping that would drive me apeshit it would only be asura for the race

Based on what you suggest, this is what I'm look at now, what do you think?

I don't have that powerful a processor (E6800), so anything higher seems like it'd not give me that great of a return?
 
Crashing to desktop every few minutes :/ what happened to the client, dammit, everything was working just fine during the last stress test :(

You should always carry a salvage kit with you, so that you can salvage these items, as well as any gear you don't want to keep around or sell to a vendor. Never leave town without a salvage kit (edit - or two).
