I'm thinking of rolling a thief character. Should I be a tree or cat race? Which is the better zone, racials, etc?

Tomorrow is finally the big day. I went from being 100% sure I was starting with Elementalist to now being unsure between Thief, Ranger, Engineer, and Elementalist. How the hell did the BWE's make it more complicated?
The trees seem like the less popular race, if that matters to you.

GW.dat file is 15gb now, time to back it up on my other drive don't want to DL all of that again...
Engineer first, Necro later, for me then.
Yeah, are the Nvidia drivers that specifically boost GW2 out yet?

Engineer was quite awesome, but even with the kits, it sucks that they're limited to so few weapons. My MMO brain wiring needs to loosen up a little to get used to the kits.
I'll have an engineer at a later date, guns are pretty sweet in this game.

Dual daggers is probably the most fun offensive build I played during all the BWE.

Kiting with grenade kit was surprisingly fun. I thought the same as you, that limited weapons would get boring. The one BWE I played engi it didn't get boring for me at least. But grenade kit was the only kit I tried I think...

I heard of some beta drivers that are supposed to be good for GW2.

I never played TERA but this is basically me with SWTOR lol. What a terrible MMO. It wasn't even so much the questing but the put up WAY too many servers and the shitty hero engine couldn't handle many players in one area. The later worlds were all ghost towns pretty much. And then traveling between worlds was such a chore and so many unnecessary steps ugh...I don't want to think about it anymore lol.

It can be a bit repetitive with some things, hearts specifically, but it definitely isn't near as repetitive as TERA. TERA was just offensive in that regard, I couldn't stand it much after the starting area.
I played Tera on a weekend pass and was really disappointed by the questing. I loved GW2 though; its quests are really dynamic and enjoyable. Quests are one of the big pluses about GW2; they did a good job of letting you just stumble into quests as they happen, making it enjoyable rather than frustrating to cooperate with other players, and never feel grindy.
on that note, I've noticed that Human male has a Zuko face
Beta, got it.

So has it been discussed the fastest way of leveling up in the game? I noticed you can't really just do your story line without doing other stuff. I noticed a jump in levels when doing just that. Best gear drops definitely seem to be from story though from what I've seen
I heard a couple of players managed to reach level 80 over the course of the first two BWEs. Keep in mind that all the lvl 30+ zones were not accessible during that time. It seems to me that doing WvWvW is one if not the fastest way to level up.

Do story missions give Karma?
They offer some improvement... but nowhere near what it should be for high end machines.
Hmm,
Sylvari Ranger
Human Thief
Charr Warrior
Norn Guardian
Asura Engineer or Elementalist
Not fully decided on these as I've picked them as they seem to just fit... Maybe mix it up a bit more.

I got the 12 dollar pre-order discount on mine, but there is no early access, unfortunately.

Sounds good. Man, can't wait to get my copy next week. Been wanting to play something new now

I haven't played one since BWE1, have mesmers been buffed up at all? They felt comparatively weak to me, but it is my preferred class.
Also in the last stress test, a single character could get two of the prepurchase items.
I found out by making a name typo and not claiming the band, then making a new character and equipping both. Don't know if that applies to deluxe items.

They said for a little while after the game comes out everyone has free transfers until things get settled.

Everything will be wiped on launch so you can select a new home world.
Edit:Guess I missunderstood the question.
I'm going to race like a madman for my names minute 1 then delete them and remake them all to my liking. 5 should be OK... for now
