Damn, I'm so stuck between warrior and ranger. Going to have to do more research.

I´m planning to roll a Sylvari Ranger named Burt Reynolds with a big leaf mustache and a pig as a pet.... so much fun.

Play both, you get 5 character slots for a reason.
Unless you're an Engineer, but you get other goodies to make up for it.

That is freaking awesome in itself, let alone knowing it had to be prepared, synchronized and recorded during a six-hour beta.
Also, it made me realize the animations are NOT the same on both genders. The differences are subtle in some cases (watch the arms at 0:26), obvious in others (females don't turn around for the part in 0:23), and almost unnoticeable, but there, throughout the video. This seems to imply that both genders having the "same" dance is, in fact, not due to laziness but, mind-bogglingly, probably intentional (they not only had to record animations twice, but synchronize them perfectly), perhaps precisely so that both genders of each race could do stuff like this (there's also the bit that the sequence is the same and there's no randomization, which would also prevent coordinated dancing like this).
You need MotionInJoy for that, which is also linked in the thread.
No problems whatsoever with MotionInJoy/XPadder/AutoHotKey, they all get along perfectly.Edit: Damn double post!
Sorry! Should I editWeltall Zero

So very sorry, double post! GAF could really use a "delete post" option.
GAF could really use a "delete post" option.Best part of that video: seeing the well-trained MMO players running off soon as the objective is done because that's just what they've been conditioned to do, and missing the next one. Pavlov ain't got nothing on Blizzard's Standardized Design Manual.
So very sorry, double post!
People abused it.

Guild Wars engine automatically syncs dance emotes of party members on everyone's client after a short period of time.
It syncs by party? I was trying to figure it out last night.

Sorry if this was already asked earlier this morning, but my buddy said he had an email alert that stated they may bring the servers up 3 hrs early to ensure they'd be stable. So we should be able to play 9pm on Friday, yes?

Keyword there is may.
We should be able to so plan accordingly.
Up to 3 hours early, no set time.
The shittiest laptop imaginable.
....
i5 M460 @ 2.53GHz
4 GB ram
ATI Radeon 6550 1 GB
Don't get me wrong: I could even play the game prior to the update; the update just made it enjoyable rather than merely playable.

Tried it. I found it not offensive enough and too many healing based abilities. But I obviously didn't play it much.
well, I suppose it's still better than playing a Thief ...
I think the secret to Guild Wars 2 is to play one of the generic "do everything awesome" classes like Warrior or Elementalist. Then once you have that down, you can play some of the crappy classes, like Engineer, Necro, or Ranger... and just play a Warrior or Elementalist forever.
My good internet person... you are a genius... i have just made a non corporate approved use of my office supplies (in the form of a sticky note) to write that down.

Step one... get the pig!
Juvenile Pigs are terrestrial pets that can be charmed by rangers. They are said to be one of the rarest and most exotic pets in Tyria.

So it's supposed to be up 3AM Saturday for EST right? So bringing it up 3 hours early would be midnight. Of course this is all here say until it actually happens. But I much prefer midnight over 3AM
Correct.

This whole "we might launch early" is just a way to make sure we don't sleep at all that night.

If they do launch early it won't be at midnight. I bet like 1 hour early. I think I'll just sleep early and get up at 6AM to play.
Alright, here are my 5 characters so far that I'm planning to roll, in order of "importance".
Norn Guardian
Human Thief
Sylvari Elementalist
Asura Engineer
Charr Warrior/Necro
Now people, please tell me If esp Guardian is a good choice or tell me why I suck.

This is my plan. Ill get up at 6, play for a while before golf and then return while the wife is at work
Is it bad to drink beer at 6 am while playing?
Lurk in mumble waiting for game to go up
Reserve character names
Sleep
Wake up and play
That is my plan.
Pancakes
hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
But...but..some heathen might take the name you want!
This man knows whats up.

Guardian seems to be quite good at survivability.
My plan.
Sorry to say, i tried everyone of those classes except the Guardian...
Personally i´m more curious about the Mesmer, the class is so ridiculous in concept that it makes me want to roll a Human Mesmer whose biggest regret was not joining the circus.
Anyone mind sharing what they think of the class?
I need my beauty sleep.
Question for those who pre ordered at GameStop:
Could I pre order the game Friday, play for the weekend when I can, and then if I end up not liking it just cancel the pre order? Odds are either way I'll dig it, but won't be able to buy the game till Sept 7th on a pay day, but I'd like to try it out here this weekend to see if it is as fun as people say.
