Ah okay, that's similar to mine, but mine was from Grainger Games. Didn't mention early access but I'd assume it was supposed to be 3 days:

Go to the northwest area in lions arch and the karma merchant has the portal. I think the area has smuggler in the name.

Cheers. Trying to go via Eternal Battlegrounds though I'm queuing right now.

Suppose we can't do much other than to wait. I've sent a image of my email to support.
Going to avoid this thread I think as all the reports of people playing is winding me up lol

 

[Desaan]

Gandara is full already? Bleh.

 

[LogicStep]

So let me get this straight. Me and 2 of my friends made characters on the same server, we form a party yet we can't play together? We can't see each other and it seems it's because of the overflow thing that pops op whenever we go to a new zone. Is there something we're missing?

 

[Parakeetman]

Thats awesome the Charrs dance is looks similar to the "Haka" haha how fitting

It was like this in beta and everyone complained about it. Not sure if they've come up with a way to fix it or not.

 

[RepairmanJack]

I knew I should have stayed up last night. All my damn names were taken. Figured I would be safe, mine usually aren't taken.

 

[TheApatheticOne]

Just got my code from Amazon, says its already in use. Awesome.

 

[Audioboxer]

Gandara is full already? Bleh.

Do servers fill up per characters made or per accounts on server?

 

[Filth]

Asura thief - philthy Loving it so far

 

[Desaan]

Do servers fill up per characters made or per accounts on server?

At this point I have no idea, 1st day headstart and 5 EU servers are showing as full v's 2 NA. Dodgy.

 

[CaptainRizla]

I'm persistently getting 'Account not authorized' so I think my 3-day pass is fucked.
Going to stop trying to log in now after 9 hours and wait for a response from the support team.

 

[Hoplatee]

Gandara is full already? Bleh.

Aye. Was high when I first logged in, went out go grab some food/drink and when I came back it was full.

There is usually an option on the portrait menu called join in. Maybe disabled for stability?

Haha, same! Done the same with support as well, sent them a screenshot of the email with the serial in and hopefully they can activate it before the weekend's over.

 

[Mephala]

Hey guys just a quick question. Is there a bank I can stash items at anywhere? Can't seem to find one. I'm at the Norn starting area if that helps.

 

[Sethos]

There's some great atmospheric areas in this game

 

[Acidote]

Nothing, error 9.4:5:1268 as if I had nothing registered

 

[JonCha]

Man, linked my account though not seeing rewards.

Well, we have bank hol Monday to play (assuming LFC is Liverpool)

 

[oneils]

Latest tweet, for those getting "Error 42."

If you're getting an error 42 trying to log in to #GW2, try closing and relaunching the client. Thanks for your continued patience! ~RB2

 

[squall23]

Do you guys think you can change servers if you delete all your characters or are gems the only way (after the first week)?

 

[Matthew9559]

Yeah, logged on today at 11:20 AM with no issues. Everything been buttery smooth since login. Even last night it was fine an hour after launch started (1 AM est). Fantastic for an MMO launch.

Yeah, you have to go to Hoelbrak, the Norn city to get to it though. To get there, head west from the area where you first showed up after the tutorial mission.

The banker NPC shows up on the second floor of the great lodge area. He should have an icon that looks like a lock on your map, so look for that.

Though I have not tried it, I do not believe that will work. Your server is account bound, not character bound.

Makes me want to reroll Norn for my warrior \m/

Don't you dare, you little copycat

 

[iAmMaximus]

Anyone playing with a controller? How is it?

 

[Audioboxer]

Don't you dare, you little copycat

Nice screenshot anyway! How is using a rifle?

Btw how do I join the EU guild on Gandara? Name tag is Audioboxer.4719

 

[Sethos]

Nice screenshot anyway! How is using a rifle?

It's really great, the effects are so awesome and the feel of being able to run while shooting is unmatched. I'm definitely going to have a ranged weapon with me, always.

 

[Snkfanatic]

Arg, I made a really cool Charr and now it won't let me create it. Saying it can't connect to the server.

 

[JonCha]

If you're having problems claiming Hall of Monuments rewards log into your Guild Wars account.

And on the rewards, how the hell do you equip them?

 

[AppleSmack]

I'll be forever stuck in overflow. Are we at least able to play on our main WvW server in overflow?

 

[Complistic]

I'm trying to delete a character and it won't let me lol.

Your warrior's gun looks exactly like mine

 

[LogicStep]

Where's the download for the controller thing? I saw it a bunch yesterday now I can't find it in the thread. =\

nvm found it

 

[vaelic]

why does shooting arrows sound like youre firing a machine gun?

 

[Hawkian]

*yawn*

Back in. Hello Tyria

What was the actual downtime, anyone know?

 

[KingKong]

so the game is telling me I should use the Nvidia beta drivers instead of the last release one, is that safe? I don't usually do beta drivers because what's the point, but do they really help in GW2?

Unfortunately, still down for some of us (or a confusion about the amount of head start we've been issued with)

The beta drivers are better for GW2.

 

[Hoplatee]

Managed to transfer to the GAF server. Awesome.

 

[FutureZombie]

I just want the goddamn trading post to work so I can make some money!

 

[Bags]

I haven't played an MMO not named EVE in many moons. Oddly enough, I'm having a real difficult time feeling comfortable with the controls.

Can any of you recommend some different key bindings that would allow me to circle strafe and hit my skills well? I have strafe on a, and d right now. I find it difficult, for instance, to be pressing w, and d, and then needing to hit any skill button that isn't 1, or 2.

I tried something funky...I pressed down the left and right mouse buttons to move forward, had space and shift for my strafe keys, and my page back button to dodge. It was a little goofy, and pressing shift + page back would not activate a dodge to the left, while space + page back worked fine dodging to the right. Overall it still felt pretty wonky.

I don't plan on getting a Naga, and my mouse has two extra buttons on the thumb side.

Thanks in advance!

 

[Audioboxer]

Is there anyway to get dye without buying it with real money?

edit: Nvm, found the dye dropper.

 

[Mr. Hyde]

So, Stormbluff is our server? I suppose that is where I will be going. I hope my friend hasn't made his character yet on a different server while I was sleeping.

 

[Hoplatee]

How would it work if you'd move to one realm and a name was taken already? Rename I guess or are names account bound and not server side or something?

Guess it would suck if you moved and had to rename.

People also sell them on the trading post. The prices don't seem too outrageous for them... yet.

Names are game wide. If a name is taken on one server, it's taken on all servers. So if you change servers, you won't have to rename.
