Managed to get 2 names in, and im very proud of the Sylvarii male thief i made. Looks badass
Haha, yeah, have the same thing. It looks very cool. The voice actor kinda clashes with the look though, but ah well.

Er, they did. That's exactly what BWE3 was. I also managed to get two people to the dark side thanks to that
(both preordered after that event).

Kinda a shame to be kicked off again, but its been great so far. Hopefully when they're back the HoM will be fixed on the euro side, especially since every second sentence in map chat seems to be "hey guys, where my HoM stuff/portal stone".
Playing Warrior so far is a ton of fun. Greatsword especially. I'm also quite fond of the Warhorn offhand to run faster and stuff.

I want my Fellblade, and my cat and my.....

Appreciate it man, 'luckily' the way they implemented retrying almost makes it impossible not to fail. Either you get downed and then you're back up a few seconds later, or when you truly die you get to spawn at a checkpoint in the instance which is usually a stone's throw away and you get right back to where you left off, mobs still at same HP etc. however it still feels cheap and the hero feel is a bit gone.
Most of the mobs right now are level 6-8 and I'm close to 7. Definitely getting a lot harder, normally the plan was to level and do all that first but I'm just bouncing between Hoalbrak where I see not much XP to gain(?) and Wayfarer Hills the northern parts, the starting area is fully complete.
Maybe I'm just blind as a mule.
Ugh, I was in right at server start but I didn't manage to get 3 names I wanted, 2 of which shouldn't be that popular.
I didn't really have any problems with the launch other than trying to get into the same overflow as my friends. Even the overflows were full so we kept getting error messages when trying to join each other. In the end, we had our full party jump into the portal to leave town at the same time and ended up in the same overflow. It was pretty hilarious because nobody thought it would work.

I think so. The launcher really should have some sort of Status message on it.
edit: Actually, it looks like according to their twitter (seriously?) some people are reporting this error, and they are "investigating" it. *sigh*

Free gems for everyone!
The rifle is pretty good with the warrior. 1200 range and you get to keep your heavy armor. Very good single target dps.
I saw one in the Silvari starter area I think, but I can't remember where. Sorry
If you take the portal to the Norn area and talk to the scout in the first area there, he'll point out the different animal shrines. There you'll be able to tame a bear, a wolf, a snow leopard and a crow. The bear especially is very sturdy!
So happy that I can finally play the game, I can finally play without holding back. Was able to log in at the beginning and get most of the names that I wanted, even had a guy message me and offer to buy a name one of my alts had. Also got to make a guild called "Oppa Gangnam Style" wanted "Gangnam Style" but someone got it before I did. Oh well, I'm pretty happy with a what I got. Gonna play some Sleeping Dogs while ANet tried to fix their log in servers.
:edit:
I think I found Colin Johanson's in-game npc. His in-game job sounds a lot like his real job.

Nope. Not to me anyways, they're all temporary/silly.
Anyone??

Pretty awesome launch over on Stormbluff Isle. Been on since the servers went live, the only issue we had was right at the start with some lag that was gone within the hour.
I haven't played that long in one sitting in a long time. Norn are too amazing. My Engineer is 11 now, probably going to dip into WvWvW soon even though I don't have my third Utility slot yet.

Their website still says that if you pre-purchase you will get into the head-start. So I would recommend try buying it on their website and see what it says.

If you can't find info about headstart in the store, then most likely not.
put 20 points in the Arms tree and get the piercing trait for some decent aoe damage

Their ISP is probably down because I can't even login into GW1...

Whoa, it's great to be able to talk to none other than Feep! (I'm a massive Scribblenauts fan and had been following since that one E3).
Let me give you my impressions on some of the issues you mention:
1) Vistas are supposed to be rewards for fans of platforming. Indeed, if you dislike it but yet feel compelled to collect them, I guess that's going to suck. :/
2) Elementalist is an advanced and complex class indeed, so many abilities. Definitely would not make it as a first class. Each weapon has a different effect area (AOE, ranged, melee) and each element a different style (damage over time, immobilization, healing, mobility).
3) Yep, I doubt the game can support itself just with box prices. It's not nearly as intrusive as in other games, though.
1) I personally love crafting in this game, particularly that materials are in high supply (since everyone can collect them) and the items crafted give quite a lot of crafting experience and take quite some materials, so hopefully we won't have a WoW-like situation where materials get more expensive than crafted items.
2) Dodging is way more useful than it seems at first, and even regular enemies telegraph their attacks quite a bit. Admittedly, I had an easier time dodging a guy with a greatsword than others. It's also great for positioning and the invulnerability window is huge.
3) You can respect trait (talent) points, but not skill points. Don't worry, though, there's more than enough skill points to get every single ability in the game. In fact, the excess points (which you also get with experience when you're level 80) are used for crafting legendary weapons and other stuff. Also, if you want to check them out, just head to the PvP lobby and you'll be given ALL of them, which you can then try against various NPCs or in PvP.
Man, the issues with WvW scoring and matchups are killing this. We had a commanding lead going into launch and then an hour later find out, despite us being in zones fighting for the lead, that suddenly it's been rematched and we're actually losing in some second WvW and the first no longer exists? this happened like 5 times tonight. New match underway with one server already at 80% map control before you can even see what's going on, pretty ridiculous. Hope it's fixed tomorrow
Just got out of bed and can't log in, I want to play
Know that feeling bro :/
I suppose I should thank the cat for waking me at 6.15 am this morning, at least I got some time in before the servers went belly up!
Yeah, I checked my computer about an hour before the launch yesterday and it was bootlooping / bluescreening so I had to reformat. Went to bed with the game installing and woke up this morning and can't log in. Oh well, it'll get better! Hope your mobo is okay.
This is probably the best GW2 video out there, explaining some of the tactics to survive.

At least, I think that's what he's talking about.

lol!
Both, problem with login servers, game was running smoothly till then >.<
I either am blind, stupid or on the completely wrong site (probably all!) but I can't list Europe or Netherlands on https://buy.guildwars2.com/en-gb/ :/
Or won't that matter at all?
Edit - Never mind that. After a while Netherlands popped up. :s Had to pick the expensive version first, then back up and pick the normal. Weird.
