Support NeoGAF

[pock3tmonster]

Uh oh, the appeal of two additional copies being purchased makes me wanna swing my vote back over to you. Let's get the ArkenMan to weigh in

I will say a thing: I very much enjoy that game as well, but this one is already substantially better than Diablo III.

The best feeling I took away was the enjoyment of seeing someone else have so much fun. My partner isn't a gamer but we played a little every night for a month or more. As much as we could given everyone's different work loads. We were coming from owning MacBooks as well, so we had little experience with PC gaming as this was the first time we'd all had comparable gaming laptops. It was just pure fun.

Brutal.

I don't know what I'm looking at.

Panda sandwich.

Top 5 selling games in amazon currently.

 

[truthiness]

I thought he was pointing out that Pandaville is compatible with Macs, whereas GW2 isn't.

Hmm....

 

[squidyj]

Top 5 selling games in amazon currently.

I wouldn't call it brutal then. Just seems like a lot of people rushing to make sure they can get early access.

 

[pock3tmonster]

I don't even want to link him to any videos that show off the highlights.

Spoiler

35 at launch. Thirty-five.

I have only see the original announcement trailer and a few of the 'race' promos. I've seen comments describing the potential exploration from lurking the previous Guild Wars 2 thread, but I've tried to remain in a blackout so as to maintain enjoyment and the sense of discovery if I did go ahead and purchase it.

I'm just at the point where I need to make a decision about purchasing it not just for me, but also for my partner and his brother. Exploration and shared experiences are my biggest loves in gaming.

Sick buuuuuuuuuuuurrn.

Is anyone having trouble connecting to ArenaNet to play Guild Wars 1 tonight? I can't seem to connect at all after several retries...

Really hoping this game is a success.

It will be.

Just tried, same thing.

 

[AppleSmack]

It will be.

It definitely looks that way. They sold over a million copies on Anet website a long time ago.

 

[robotrock]

I picked up the boxed standard edition on amazon here http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001TOQ8X4/?tag=neogaf0e-20

I still haven't gotten my 3 day headstart code or anything yet. Am I screwed? Just cancel and get the PC download prepurchase or something? Thanks.

Anyone?

 

[Hawkian]

Anyone?

Sadly I have no clue how the process from Amazon works...

 

[Wallach]

Anyone?

What did Amazon have to say about it?

 

[AppleSmack]

Anyone?

I would just wait it out. Are you even guaranteed a headstart code from the downloadable version? Why do you think they will even provide it to you instantly if they don't do that on the physical version?

 

[Iadien]

Anyone?

I would contact amazon.

 

[AppleSmack]

Did ArenaNet ever say something about future Mac support?

 

[Teknoman]

Goes without saying i'm sure...but if you managed to be in the very first BWE/prepurchased through arenanet, you should be fine for the headstart right?


Also i'm going to have to do a deep sea expedition asap.

 

[The M.O.B]

Anyone?

They ran out of keys, you can see "Standard + $5 Credit + Beta Access" is greyed out". When you switch to PC Download and then you can click it.

So for now only Digitial Edition gets you the 3 Day Early Access.

Mike O' Brien (ANet CEO) uses Macs and would like to get a Mac client out at time point, the focus though is getting the PC version done.

Yep, you'll be in for the 3d headstart.

 

[Trey]

Something wrong, I hold my head
Retro gone, our homie dead!

 

[Panda Rin]

I ordered a Collector's edition last month from Amazon, but I cancelled the pre-order and downgraded to a digital deluxe. The code and account, however, are still active. Um...will Anet ever consider deleting these keys?

I despise underwater areas in MMOs. They're almost always filled with nasty creatures. I remember I was just starting out in WoW and must've been level 16 or something when I decided to explore the waters and got attacked by a level 30 hammerhead, it was downright horrifying.

You'll love this game then. When you go into a downed state, you're supposed to swim to the surface to revive and the mobs will try to pull you back down. Though in all seriousness, there's no breathbar nor speed decrease when playing underwater and entirely separate weapons that make use of the 3D space.

 

[Spike Spiegel]

Anyone?

How long has it been? I just checked my email, and when I ordered my standard boxed edition from Amazon I got a follow-up email with the early access promo code about four days later.

That is fine I guess, but I hope they start on that after launch. It will definitely increase their player base and also make the game more accessible for students with Macbooks since on some days is simply inconvenient to return home. I guess I can just install Windows 7 on my mac with Boot Camp if I really get addicted.

 

[bestpersonevar]

for some reason the client keeps crashing for me. it gets to like 50% downloaded and then crashes.

 

[pock3tmonster]

I forgot it was fucking steve blum

I'll donate 10 dollars to someone who is on the fence about buying this within the next hour.

edit: Oh Retro

Sorry Hawkian, can I ask that you PM me, if and when you and Arken decide who to help out with a cheaper copy of the game? Even if it's not me. I'm just at Uni and it's hard to keep up with threads. Thank-you.

How big have the recent patches been? My client is at 400mb/12% right now, with 11.7k files remaining. I think the last time I patched it was maybe a week ago.

 

[Soulstar]

You can buy upgrades to make it 500.

it's 500 accounts now.

Cool. I guess we wont need two guilds then.

 

[pock3tmonster]

absolutimont mon frere

Thanks! Much appreciated. It's awfully hard to resist looking up those highlights videos you mentioned, but I'll have to do just that.

 

[Ferny]

I feel we're playing GAFGuild Officer Survivor in here. Who will be next?!

 

[Ferny]

absolutimont mon frere

Whoa!! You can't speak that foreign tongue in my guild sir! You are forever banished to Reddit's guild.

 

[Hawkian]

i dunno how to say it in krytan

 

[LProtag]

Wait, if I order now, will I not get the head start key?

Is that just from Amazon? What if I get it from ArenaNet?

 

[PewPewK]

I believe arenanet still has keys.

[Atomski]

[flyinpiranha]

Somebody needs to form an alliance!

 

[Vinci]

I'm tempted.

 

[badbrains]

I just dropped 3K on a rig for this game, it better be a success!!

 

[Hawkian]

I just dropped 3K on a rig for this game, it better be a success!!

holy shit dude. you could go to mars with what you can get for 3k these days. give me the specs so i can drool

 

[Kalnos]

Are you like multiboxing or something?

 

[Emitan]

I just dropped 3K on a rig for this game, it better be a success!!

You could play this game for like $600.

 

[boosh5]

So for now only Digitial Edition gets you the 3 Day Early Access.

Negative. "Standard + $5 Credit + Beta Access" is being greyed out is because that is the listing for the standard version in the PC Download format. You choose the format and then the corresponding versions light up underneath. Has nothing to do with them being out of stock of anything in this case.

The standard physical edition still advertises 3 day early access and the special item, though until I get my email that remains to be seen.

 

[badbrains]

holy shit dude. you could go to mars with what you can get for 3k these days. give me the specs so i can drool

Quad SLi 690s, 32GB DDR 2133MHz RAM, i7 3960X CPU, Dual Loop Water Cooling System, 512GB Samsung 810 SSD.

Not bad
