I just formed a party and we're both on the same server but can't see or find each other. Is there a way to meet up if you are in different instances or am I missing something?

Not really. It's pretty evenly balanced on both sides. With WvWvW sort of in between.

a) someone might have been in the Overflow server, usually the other members can join in by right-clicking that guy's icon and choose to join
b) the game had some issues with group members who are apart from each other in the same map, noticed it earlier, too

Turns out it was an overflow server issue. Thanks!
Our perspectives are on opposite sides of that topic, ha.
The art-style (I'm talking in-game design btw, not the mostly great concept art) is the one thing in GW2 which is giving me pause. For my tastes it's too cartoony and colourful. Like, it's just on the wrong side of the WoW-style of rendering and colour application, which is an aesthetic that I've always found ugly. It is only *just* on the wrong side though and I'm gonna give the game a fair shake a week or two after release. I hope my opinion of it shifts.
Which is confusing if it doesn't work or you have an impatient friend like mine...we never could meet up and play together in all the BWE...we where in a party but we could never see each other...

Thinking about getting this after reading the thread a bit. I'm not too big on MMOs, but a lot of the features are really attractive. I'm glad the combat seems to be a bit more active than other MMOs, and the level scaling thing sounds awesome too; I hate having to play catch-up or being forced to wait for a friend so I don't get too far ahead of them. The no monthly fees thing is awesome too.
Anyways, can anyone who has played the beta give me their impressions of the Necromancer and Thief professions? I watched gameplay for both and I'm still on the fence. Thief suits my typical playstyle of crazy flips 'n shit, but necromancer just looks too cool to pass up.

Maybe I will too. 82% on the client download.
Absolutely yes. There are plenty of people who will play this game and barely touch PvP/WvW.
For only $60 you get around 60-120 hours for one characters single player campaign. So you're getting a great level of MMO PvE content with one character, let alone all the other races and personal stories.
Would have been better Techno Viking for the male Norn but well, dances are for fun.
Kinda cool that they extended it, but im still probably not going to play. Just got home and only have 80 minutes left until its done
Such a Tease!!!!
They would make bank if they offered novelty necro pet skins at the cash shop

I'd say it's akin to buying Counter-Strike or playing Dota 2 with bots. It's perfectly fine but you're missing the point so to speak.
EVERY DAY (my human female) is SHUFFLIN'! Game of the year folks.
Finally dances emotes are a go.
So I danced some Gangnam Style with a friend

Yeah! They took all the good names! Even Meowth Thats Right! EVEN THAT!
Luckily the only names which are "booked" are the multiple word names people placed in Guild Wars before the end of July. Single word names are up for grabs at headstart.
Yea, the characters have been saved for a while, so pretty much all the names have been taken (names are entire game, not just server)
All resets at launch though so youll have a chance to get your names if you hurry
How are the items going to be in this game? In the sense that, say you aren't interested in PVP, once you hit max level, are you still going to be able to do dungeons and whatnot, and get better and better items?
Or is it like guild wars 1, where you have a weapon type, and you find the max damage then that's pretty much it.

I've never been physically hurt by in-game graphics before. Then my curiosity prompted me to click the subsample option...
Wait what? Have you never played an MMO before or something?

Sigh - you have just reminded me why I need to stay up from 12am-3am (EST) frantically pressing the "Login" button.
I'm normally not worried about my names being taken, but for some reason 3/4 of them were taken after all of these BWEs, so I'm a little nervous.
:/
I genuinely think coming in to this game purely to play PvE is viable but you're missing on what in the core in the game imo.
This is why you should use two word names or more. It even fits in with the lore, unless you're playing as an Asura or Sylvari character.
max stats are pretty easy to get at 80. There are different stat allocations and runes to customize your character though.
For loot though, you wont be grinding for stats. If you want, youll be grinding for bad ass looking gear. Gear upgrades will basically be cosmetic

Yeah, I got pretty bad framerate during this, I'm assuming it's because of the testing. Hopefully the fix that up but I know my E8400 isn't doing me any favors. I wish they'd optimize for GPU too though since I have a 6870.
You're good to go for release. Just start it every day or two to get patches, since there are sure to be more of those released.

Beta client is the same client they will use for release. Just patch up and you're ready to go for Saturday.
!I'm hoping for this too. Do the stress tests usually perform worse in comparison to the BWEs?
They will wipe characters so you should be able to pick servers when it actually releases.
I have a 560ti and i get steady 60fps with everything in High, tho i have a 2600k CPU, are you using the beta drivers?
There are times where ArenaNet do something and everything goes kaboom in the Stress Tests. Each Stress Tests had better performance than the last for me, so ST > BWE in performance.
