Hardly. Stormbluff has the 6th most guilds of all US servers.
http://www.twitch.tv/guildwars2 is now live. Playing GW2.
Anytime between midnight and 3 in the morning...

Just judging it based off the communities list, there any other resources to look up that information?

If I had to guess I'd say they'll get it up before 1. The earlier stress tests were always like an hour early.
I've been opening it every 2 hours, soooo excited!

When you launch the client it should automatically start updating unless its already at the most recent version. So just periodically open the client to make sure its up to date.

Just watching the client download progress bar. Getting some good mileage out of the links being posted. No idea what I'll play first (didn't play any beta)-- leaning towards maybe an engineer? I can't decide.

I had to leave for awhile but a couple of people recommended Elementalist in place of either Warrior or Engineer.
...Holy crap! Class seems complicated.
I thought the same thing until i played it. You'll just have to take my word for it but when you're playing one it just... makes sense hahaha.

So I downloaded GW2 two days ago and now every time I open the GW2 .exe it shows it downloading again at the splash screen...?
MMO games have patches!

Patches are a thing.
Maybe the T_CK is spinning clock wise and the rest is static?

I feel this way, too. I don't *dislike* his music, but somewhere along the way it loses its individuality (or perhaps he's composed for too many WRPGs in past years). That being said, I do actually like some of his music (when he tries different things).
I think the #1 culprit (for me, anyway) is the samples he uses. I'm really really not fond of his fake orchestra sound. An orchestra in the hands of a good composer is a fearsome instrument, capable of limitless soundscapes (it doesn't all have to have that epic Hollywood score sound)
Especially when you know what he's composed in the past with a real orchestra

How big of a patch are we talking about here?
70mb still at 0% 4750 files just like the full game install from 3 days ago?

the loader % isn't based on file sizes, it's based on number of files. What's happening is they've got big files you're downloading at first then the rest will go much faster.

That many files if I remember correctly is ~600mb.

Their % is by files not total size. So if the first file is really really big it'll take a long time for that first %. Had this happen a couple days ago.

There've been 3 different patches in the last 3 days.
Okay. From whom do I preorder to get early access? I'm not sure I have time drive to a Gamestop. There's a sweet launch party at Riot tonight.

At this point, you have to preorder from guildwars2.com if you want to play tonight.

Please use push to talk.
In fact, this should be mandatory to log into the mumble server.

Got a question, my cousin tried organizing game installs on his computer. For some reason he likes having his games on a separate HD; so he copied the files over to another hard drive and deleted the install on Program Files x86. He then tried to patch the game now but the launcher won't recognize the install on the separate drive and when he copied the files back, the installer is trying to download the game again. Anyone run into this issue and or have a fix?
Haha, got you. What button around WSAD isn't used by the game? Q?

I usually just have my Mouse 4 as PTT, but I put my Heal ability on Q.
Try again. It seems to hang a little but it is up and working.
