Also, just confirming, but for the first few days we'll be able to transfer worlds for free, correct?

Thanks for the info. Would have been nice of them to send out something to people who ordered it. Maybe there was an extremely high demand, and Soule is locked away in a room somewhere being forced to sign them all.

They're good both at range and melee. Bows, dual wielding melee, and greatswords. They tend to be really agile and leap around like fleas. They're mainly built around having a pet.

Early access still goin' on? Can I buy it from Amazon and start playing Saturday?
I agree, but hey, what can you do about it? I do hope they ship tomorrow or Monday though, otherwise I'm gonna have a problem with it being sent to the wrong address (I have to head back to University next Friday).
Is there any consensus on this? I can start putting something visible on each page...

Generally, the better the salvage kit, the better chance you have of getting an item upgrade or high-end material out of what you're salvaging. So basic salvage kits for crappy stuff or if you just need basic components (and you will, if you're crafting anything). Then use the good kits for getting higher-end stuff out.
Yeah Retro is just too lazy to do it now, he could've added it to his post.
(I hope this isn't getting old.
)Warriors can also use longbows and rifles in case you dont like pets.
Engineers also rock dual pistols and rifle if you want a bunch of other crazy crap to play with

My wife just ordered her copy direct from Arenanet and is getting three days head start still.
Does the actual item's stats matter with the chance of getting an item upgrade or high-end material? Such as an actual equipable item would have a higher chance of generating something good vs. a white salvage item?
It's very likely based on item rarity versus salvage kit type.

Stats on weapons and armor come from "upgrade components". Runes, insignias, etc. When you use a higher-end salvage kit, you have better chance of removing said upgrade component. When removed, it will not generate a random number, it'll be exactly the same as when it was part of the armor or weapon.
The improved salvage kits simply have a better chance of you getting a component out when you try to salvage. Check the wiki for the numbers.
All classes has options to ranged and melee weapons, and (ideally) should be completely viable.

Fantastic video. You should put it on the front page if you haven't yet. It's even better than the manifesto.

Yes and yes. In fact, you get to have a few pets in reserve in case your current one goes to 0HP. You hit one of your F keys to change pets in combat.
Huge range of pets, and yes they all have different skills. You can only actively use one skill though from them.
this. do it. glorious.
Have they fixed pets? I remember they were HUGELY underpowered in BWE1/2.
44 different pets in 12 categories.
They're squishy, but very helpful and improve greatly with leveling.
Brave man, I hate pet classes with a passion.
They're a ton more responsive, not perfect but it's a vast difference than BWE2. They did nerf some of ranger's stuff across the board to make up for pets actually doing damage now though.
Promo is still up on their page(for pre-purchases), so I would believe so.

From what I've heard, yeah. They're not all-powerful monsters, but they don't leeroy and die immediately.
Yep, already done.
If there's 20 mobs around AoEing then yeah the pet is squishy, though it's very easy to micro now with the run back to me button which is essentially a pet dodge.
Where? I don't see it. Yes, I checked.
Dynamic Events. Personal Story. Active combat. By your elements combined, I am captain guild wars!

If conditions such as bleeding are calculated by a formula such as 2.5 + 0.5 * Level + 0.05 * Condition Damage per stack per second then why do skills that bleed have a description of the damage the bleeding does?
For example:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Crippling_Talon
Bleeding: 8 s (1020 damage)
Why is there a default number in parenthesis? What does that default number mean?

Speak up next time. Whether you're a member of the guild or not, we're happy to hang out with other folks.
Haha, will do. I'll be happy to join the Guild and rep it as one of my characters for sure! I've never really had a big community to play this kind of game with so I'm a bit nervous but excited at the same time.
That's why I'm using it. Necros are creepy.
