Yeah, that's what I thought as well. They're my old guild from another game and they're saying that if I join them from a different server, they wont be able to do World vs World..

Uhm, guys.. your head moves at -anything- you've locked as a target (with tab). If it's bigger, you look up, if it's smaller, you look down
Its not just your head that'll move either, when you swing your weapons they'll change the angle of attack based on the size of what you are targetting. There was a bug a couple stress tests ago where this caused everyone to aim at the target's feet lol.

It's asking me to make a new account, can't I add it to an existing one?
I got beta access from a contact, I didn't purchase the game, maybe that's why it's confused.
Yes, tress test!
Also this is awesome:
It's the Wereraven. I should probably save one of my slots for a Norn.
Messages pop on screen, they've already even done this in the betas. "The world is collapsing in 5 minutes" or something. I might be exaggerating.

Lump has a miniature of Billiechu... things have suddenly become... odd.
It was around 2 minutes during one of the last stress tests when they hit a patch mid way through.

Kidding man. In GW1 they gave updates for scheduled boots well in advance. The stress tests only lasted an hour in the first place.

I didn't have those options I think but all my information (e-mail, name, dob) was the same so I assume it's the same account.
Not fussed as long as my e-mail stays the same I suppose.

Some guy from reddit said it best. Anet is like a drug dealer just knocking on your door "hey want to get high now"

I believe both email and phone authenticators were confirmed today via datamining.
Its better than last night, when they literally gave only 15 minutes notice.
Edit- Oh wait. I thought you were talking about the stress test today. Nevermind then, carry on.

I think Einboch is referring to the warning when servers come down for patches.
It'd be nice if you were inside an instanced area (such as a dungeon) that you'd be able to finish and relog upon completion to complete the patch similar to how it worked in GW1. It probably isn't feasible with how GW2 works though. Hopefully the short warnings during betas were simply because you only had a very limited amount of play time. It would be nice if a patch was incoming they sent out announcements 2-hours in advanced and then every 15 minutes or whatever.

That typically doesn't happen. If there's a patch, they do it in-place and you just have to relog. He was asking how long in advance they give you warning that you'll need to quit.

If I start as human, how do I make it to the asuras starting zone? Is it possible to do it immediately?
Yeah, just go to Divinity's Reach and find the asura portal. It's a purple swirly on the map iirc.

Get to Lion's Arch (either via pvp-> Heart of the mists -> portal or use the standard Asura Portal in Divinity's Reach), head north-west-ish to the portal zone in LA, take the portal to Rata Sum, done.

Didnt the servers auto-kick you when the timer hit 0 in the BWEs? Thats what I meant...

Yes, you have to complete the tutorial mission first then head to the Asura gates in town to Lion's Arch then to the Asura starting zone.
