I feel like all I've seen are blue skinned Sylvari guardians. Even made one myself, I think for that reason I will make sure to go with a different color.
Make sure you read this, folks. There is a difference.

Thanks a lot! I'm usually not one to dismiss compliments (for example, I wouldn't do so if someone complimented my intelligence
), but really, I'm not. I just happened to come across a big-ass GW2 logo with transparent background . The credit is all ArenaNet's beautiful world design's. 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
That's the thing, I wasn't targeting my pet. You can't even tab-target friendlies with my configuration (there may be a keybind for cycling through them, but it's useless in a game with no targeted friendly spells).

Yeah, I saw that happening with the big event chain in the Norn starting area, I mean more of a change like the night and day cycle, but slower and involving changing seasons. Fall in the northern hemisphere (where anet is based)? Leaves start to change color. Spring in the northern hemisphere, critters have babies hangin around and trees show buds, which progresses into full on leaves in the summer, etc.
No way to know yet haha... it's always winter in hoelbrak though
Neither does the previous BWEs and stress tests indicate how Stormbluff will do at launch. They just did a wipe and everyone had to do server selection again, so I'm assuming this round of players is a much closer representation of the launch population since servers are more likely decided on now.

If my first 5 names aren't available, I'll get Derpp and be lore-accurate.
My Asura gave up his name when he joined the Hawkians. So not very
Oops. Where is that written?
Can't tell if joke or not, but if not then that's BS because I just hit 300 today and got promoted.
If that was a joke, then please continue.

There isn't one. You can continue earning them even after release.

Isn't one. When you get it done in GW1, it'll show up in GW2. No cap for when that'll stop.
Pretty sure there's no deadline, as long as you have your account before gw2 launches you can keep doing them
Guess we'll see. Judging the server by its population in an oddly timed, randomly announced stress test though? I'm not sure either is a valid measure when you get down to it. It seemed active enough in WvW last night, so... *shrugs*
EDIT: For example, even many of the GAFguild that ordinarily play WvW religiously weren't doing it this time around. A lot of people were running around Ebonhawke to check out the new zone.
I might have missed it, but I haven't seen Teknopathetic post after Retro's post. Hope he doesn't feel like he shouldn't post in here.
Just make sure that it really is your graphics card that's holding you back before you spend the money. You might know this though, just thought I'd mention it.Can't remember who asked anymore but more details on the performance with my shitty PC
Win7 pro (64 bit)
4GB Ram
GTX260
AMD Phenom II x3 720 2.8ghz
1920 x 1080 (have a dual screen but GW is only on 1)
Using the default settings I am medium everything, low post processing
Top framerate: 52 fps
Lowest: 25 fps (when 1 billion people were around the PVP browser because it wasn't working)
Looks and performs MUCH better than SWTOR (Ilum was BAAD)
Love this game so much I might actually update my videocard

Having a name i like is more important to me than having a lore-accurate one. But i try to find a nice balance.

There might not be, yeah, could be an undisclosed feature, but I feel like that's something the devs will have talked about during development that would have been mentioned, so I'm just trying to see if any of the die hards that have been following this game for 5 years have seen anything about that.

Not even a little accurate! I didn't even know there was a naming convention.

Question about Mumble - I'm going to try to join it before launch tomorrow because I would like to talk to you guys through voice rather than text but one issue I have with voice chat stuff - does the Mumble "mute" the game sound a bit as people speak or does the game sound stay as loud as it usually is with people having to talk over it? I prefer the former to the latter and, until I use the Mumble anyway, Skype is horrible to talk to my friend over the game just because the sound of the game can be loud.
Also, I'm going to reask this question while I'm at it:

I really don't think so. The primary guild census site has us projected as the third highest server by estimated players. Plus one of the most known sPVP guilds (Super Squad) announced that they are going to Stormbluff Isle for release. We're going to be on the higher end.
I use one of my side mouse buttons, it is easy to use without disrupting anything else you are trying to do while playing.
Funny thing is the rule isn't stated anywhere in the FAQ. Only thing they have regarding it is...

Is there a place I can go to read about the Asuran naming conventions? I would like to have a name that at the very least fits into the lore somewhat.
Nevermind. Found it.
If anyone else would like to know, here's the place that I found:

This was the most polished test out of all the BWEs and smaller stress ones.
It's probably because most people were at work/school though.
I have this weird feeling it's going to be laggy and possibly crashy tomorrow.
(being Friday night and all)

Please use Push to Talk. It really bothers me when I can hear people's background noise.

Considering my Asura Guardian is named Thrill Cosby...uuuuuuh...very close?
I'm not going to break the bank or anything, wife is back at work after 8 years of me being the sole provider (on purpose, we wanted a parent home for the kids) so next year I am going apeshit on my gaming rig
For now looking at something like:

Freetalk with well adjusted sensitivity works much better imo.

I use that key (no idea which key it is on American keyboards). It's not very convenient but GW2 doesn't use it by default.

Nope, not the case.

It's not mentioned intentionally.

Actually, the standard American keyboard doesn't even have that key. Instead the Enter key is longer in that row.

That's an AZETRY keyboard, we have QWERTY keyboard.
That key happens to be how you drop environmental weapons and swap weapons
I changed that to CTRL - ~.

Many thanks. That is much more detailed than my source.
