I would consider looking at the g600. The thumb buttons are set up in groups of 6 and they're contoured, so finding them isn't a problem. I'm using one right now and it didn't take much time to get used to them. It works beautifully

I gotta say, the white one is one hell of a sexy mouse. /gadgetpron
We've had 9 stress tests so far, so they're obviously working on it. Performance has been great in all of them, and ArenaNet's server voodoo is second to none (just ask anyone who was playing on an NA server from Europe).
I'm not worried, actually. Based on what we've seen so far, I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if this was the smoothest MMO launch yet.

That's absolutely messed up and crazy - I hope my 2010 Naga doesn't break anytime soon because I don't want to have to deal with the headache of this stuff... "DRM" for your mouse? What the fuck is that?
I'm using that mouse and it works well. I have just mapped healing, utility and elite skills to the mouse. I still use keyboard for weapon skills, but with the mouse, playing is lot easier because I don't have to move my hand on keyboard, thus I don't get confused and I'm able to play without having to look at the keyboard. And also the buttons on the mouse are well made and it's easy to hit the right button.

Logitech G700. Its only problem is that the optional wireless mode makes it heavier than it needs to be. You can store profiles onto your PC or directly onto the mouse itself for transport between computers - the opposite of that Razer Cloud Storage nonsense.
Thing looks like it's straight out of portal. Love the looks.
I tried using one for a while, but it's just too flat and too wide to be comfortable for a claw gripper, it's so wide because of the '3rd' mouse button that you basically have to lift it with your thumb and pinky. Combine that, with it being heavier than your average mouse (~135gr) it's a bit awkward for me. Though if you used high sensitivity it might not be as big of an issue since you wouldn't be lifting it much. It's well made though, and the software is pretty nice.
Not home right now to verify, but I recall installing the previous version of the driver to circumvent "synapse".

Orly. got my internet working again. will hop on during the weekend. can't wait to go trolling alone with friend.
Question, do you get cosmetics and stuff from doing the PVE content? 100% new to the Guild Wars series, I played GW2 beta on my bro's account briefly when it first came out and was pretty impressed even though it was horrendously laggy and unoptimized. Just pre-purchased today so I'm going in practically blind.
Has it really been that long?? Seems like just yesterday my wife catching a glimpse of it on the magazine rack at the grocery store, squealing and running to rip it off the shelf. Wow...
three and a half ish, I believe.

Such a great day, OT is up, OT is awesome, and look what just arrived in the mail (taken with crappy camera at work).
Still playing catch up from last night, so I'm sorry for the late reply on this. You're lucky you've got something to mess with while you're waiting. Where did you pre-order it from, out of curiosity? I ordered mine from Gamestop on the first day because I thought there'd be a rush and there weren't any being sold online. I might have to give them a call and see if they know when they're expecting them in (my guess: "Guild What two? Lulz, I dunno, want Call of Dudebro 8?")
http://gw2status.com/ is your friend!
Like I said, if you have the 2012 version of the naga (or the naga hex, etc. or any NEW version of a razer mouse, or keyboard) you can only use the synapse software. You won't be able to go to the old drivers and circumvent synapse.
You can try to find an old version of the razer mouse and find old drivers for those, but once that supply is gone, you're pretty much screwed.

You can deal damage from afar while I bash them with a hammer!
Would love a built in streaming feature because I don't want to pay for Xsplit.
Fact: Hammer Warrior is the angriest-looking Warrior. Retro Smash.
There's at least two GAFers who have been setting up streams, hopefully they post some links at launch.

Speaking of Livestreams, the Reddit post for Operation Bearflood actually took off, and a volunteer bro is going to livestream the whole event today.

Great OT!
I'll be joining you guys on Gandara. It seems surreal that it will finally be here this week.

I want the G700 bad - because I play on my HDTV and it's the best wireless solution out there. Unfortunately money is tight.
So this will be my new home for the following months =D
Nice OT. Shoutout to my fellow Guardians for their impeccable taste in class picking.
Nope, I don't think you do. You can use your gold to buy some gems to acquire cosmetics tho, so with enough playtime you won't really need to pay for them. The gold -> gems exchange rate fluctuates due to market demand, so keep an eye out for that.

Lol I'll definitely be there for Bearflood.
I ran it on a laptop (medium settings @ 1366x768) with the Geforce GT 550M, which is not as powerful as the GTX 460m. It depends on your resolution, and the final optimization, but you will be able to run the game (and it will be playable) at the very least.

Someone should teach everyone how to stream so I can stream WvWvW.

Well I pre-purchased the game on amazon, I registered the Key and im ready to roll for this 3 day head start. Saturday should be a good day. Any ideas on what time the servers go up Saturday for someone on the east coast in the US?
Edit* Damn this client is big! Shouldnt take me too long because im downloading at 5 MB/s...

To add to Inky's post; you'll find Unidentified Dyes in PVE which can be used to apply new colors to your character's armor (over 400 of them too). There are also some armor sets that you can buy with Karma that make a complete set when worn together, and transmutation stones have come up as a reward for me a few times for zone completion.
At the highest levels, once you hit Exotic-quality gear, pretty much all of your upgrades become cosmetic.
My Asura is ready:
I heard my wife, working all the way across town, saying "Awwwwww!" just now.
Yes is can handle it. I also have a GTX 460M. I didn't put it all on "ultra" just on lower, it looked really good.

You get an elite skill and a rytlock minipet. I would pass on it and spend the extra 20 on something else.

Personally; no. Its for digital in-game items that don't last forever (1 day/1 time use).
Good news; If you love MMOs, you'll want to check out Guild Wars 2, and if you hate MMOs, you'll REALLY want to check out Guild Wars 2.
Nope, all of the stuff is either cosmetic or temporary. Save the money and buy gems.
I say this as someone who dropped $150 on the Collector's Edition, but that has lots of cool, physical stuff in it, so.... yeah.

Is reddit playing on GoM?
Not at launch, I think Lump is just doing this as a one-off thing to goof off and have fun.

Oh ok, do you know what server are they playing on?

After seeing the server stats my guild is leaving GoM for Yak's Bend for PvE....
fluffydelusions

Yeah I was just looking at that stats page gw2guru...yaks bends looks like the place to be for PvE
Last time I saw their poll, they were on Isle of Janthir, but that's probably been voted down again. They change it a lot.
But Yak's Bend has one of the highest populations in the game...
