I apologise if this has been raised a thousand times already but I've just received my boxed copy. Do I do anything with the key since I've entered the 2 day head start key yesterday.

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.

Er, are you checking that your armor is not broken? If you're dying a lot that's the penalty you get, and if you don't repair it, you're not getting its bonuses, leading to going down much faster.

Arenanet went blizzard on me after smooth 7 hours I cant log in now...

LOL!

I'm sad I can't log in

 

[OTIX]

So I've cleaned the apartment and still can't log in. Guess they're gonna make me do the dishes as well, bastards.

 

[inter]

Just got booted with incorrect password. :\

I feel your pain. *continues to wash dishes*

I needed to clean this place up anyway.

 

[GasProblem]

I like washing dishes.

 

[Rad-]

I guess I could wash dishes or clean up during this break too.

I'll just fap.

Same here. I even took a shower. Saturday ruined!

 

[Audioboxer]

Wonder what is keeping ArenaNet quiet, and update is about due!

Hey Welltall, how do I get your gamepad settings to work? I followed all the instructions but the only thing that works with the gamepad is that I can run around and dodge with RT. I can also move the mouse cursor with right control stick but none of the other controls work. Can't attack, jump, select stuff in menu, bring up menu, etc.

Oh damn, forgot all about showering. That's a good idea.

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 Guy has excellent survival skills

 

[Sethos]

I showered last week, I'm set.

Mmm, that's weird. Could you open XPadder and see if the buttons you press light up in the GUI?

 

[Kem0sabe]

Wonder if Anet will give players any kind of compensation for the extended downtime. After all, we did pay extra to actually play the game early.

Not sure if serious... how much extra did you pay?

If you're talking about that blank white box in the upper left corner, when I click on that, yes, pressing buttons makes those bars light up green and alters numbers.

 

[SeZMehK]

Sigh, after making my characters I decided to go to bed. When I woke up this morning, all excited to play, I find out they are having server issues. What a nice thing to wake up to...

Why the hell did you pay extra?

I got a boxed copy for $48 + a Headstart code from Ebay for $2. Managed to play 7 hours today.

Wish i had a sarcasm emote.

Managed to get my character names at least.

 

[Parakeetman]

Upside of the server issues means I can finally go out and get dinner now lol

 

[Negaiido]

Guild Wars 2 &#8207;@GuildWars2

Thank you for your patience, we&#8217;re still hard at work and we will keep you updated. ^DO

 

[ParityBit]

I played for one hour before bed (Just woke up).

That's still 1 hour more than I was able to play D3 for about a week. Had more fun than anything in D3 too!

I guess I will go do some rl stuff, like shower/eat/golf. Maybe it will be back up when I get home! Is there an ETA or a status page to troll?

 

[Hoplatee]

Right, bought it. Ready to play next week!

 

[Ken]

The Digital Deluxe stuff is just one per account?

 

[Squall ASF]

Means I can finally break free and get my ass to bed.

Welltall, I'll catch your response in the morning or I should say afternoon. Appreciate any help. Is there something I have to do to make sure xpadder applies the profile and settings? or does the start file do the job? I have your latest profile in the upper right corner, but there wasn't an 'apply' or 'save' button so not sure if it's actually being applied. Thanks again for any help.

 

[StrongArmSteady]

Awesome! now im stuck on step 2 of the registration process

progress i guess?

 

[BrettWeir]

Got an exe patch....waiting to patch client....whoa. 7k a sec. lol.

 

[fierrotlepou]

I just bought the game but I still haven't received an e-mail to confirm my purchase. This probably has to do with the huge server load, right?

 

[CaptainRizla]

Got an exe patch....waiting to patch client....

Same here. Closed client and it downloaded an update but getting a 'Connection error(s) detected. Retrying...' message.

edit - downloading now. Hopefully good news.

 

[Coolwhip]

So I would like to play...

 

[Hoplatee]

I haven't gotten it either. Wouldn't worry about it. Get worried in a hour or two.

 

[BrettWeir]

Ditto. Stopped with 8 files remaining. They are getting completely hammered.

 

[Lyonaz]

From their main site? It took me yesterday a few minutes to get the email.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

So I would like to play...

Wii would like to play Guild Wars 2.

 

[Sethos]

Is this really the best time to roll out a patch

 

[speedpop]

They've just put up new files?

 

[SorchaR]

Is this really the best time to roll out a patch

cold be to sort the problem with getting the Hall of Monuments rewards?

 

[Naeblish]

Is this really the best time to roll out a patch

If it's a fix that prevents people from hammering the login servers, than yes .

 

[fierrotlepou]

At least I'm not alone!

From their main site? It took me yesterday a few minutes to get the email.

Yes, but I guess it's because of the server load.

 

[Nemesis121]

my awesome speed for this patch is at 0.00kb/sec

 

[Z3M0G]

Downloading another patch now...

Edit: now also at 0 kb/sec

Download server seems to now be down.

 

[GasProblem]

Same, stuck at 91%. Their servers are getting hammered.
