I'm pretty sure there is a beta forum. I think that is where most of the leaks have come from.
This is what will draw people together IMO. The game itself oozes "teamwork" between players, and it will make your "old gang" feel fresh and new again.
You are correct, sir. Check your damn PMs!
Agreed.
Ah that kinda sucks.
I'm actually feeling a LOT better today, so I think I might do some sort of... like streaming thing and talk about stuff GW2 related or something. I might need a co-host so you just don't hear my droning voice all the time.
1 hour until Beta Weekend start?
Why doesn't he just fraps some stuff and voice over later? Humm.
Yeah, supposedly it starts at 12 noon PST.
Maybe in the community thread, when it gets made.
Because fraps severely limited the FPS last time of other recorders - the footage on his channel is pure unadulterated like AVI footage. Top shelf stuff.
Well, when life gives you lemons...
Yogscast will have stuff I bet. I just prefer TB's low droning British accent to their high pitched craziness.
Either way I wish I had a British accent.
I honestly think he should just do that though - at least he can give after-commentary, but most of the time his on-the-fly commentaries when he plays are much, much funnier.

Why am I excited and I'm not even in the damn beta. Dammit!
Because other people are playing and you're not. Even though you're not playing, the fact that other people are getting to play something you want to play REALLY badly is exciting and I'm not sure why.
It means more new footage soon and NDA leaks all over the place.
If you break the NDA and used the same email as your GW1 account, ANet will permaban your GW1 account. Assuming they find out who did it of course.

Wow. ANet pulling an EA. That's some garbage.
Could be scare tactics, though I wouldn't call their bluff.
PR-disaster if they're trying to use it as scare tactics. Really makes me wary to buy any ANet games if they would ban you from all of them over a single game's Beta.

NDA's are legal binding contracts, breaking one usually does have its consequences...
GW1 had the most serious NDA I've ever seen, like a REAL one, not the fake ones you see in gaming. You had to print off a real NDA, sign it, and fax it back along with a copy of your ID I believe.
And it's time.
I was in a beta like that a long time ago. 5 years at least. I forgot what it was though.
I remember when I was in EQ's beta. They mailed me the disc with the game on it.

Regardless of contract, it is not ok for Anet to remove access to games that are not connected to the contract in question.
Unless that is stated in said contract.

Apparently they're not lifting this NDA. We'll never be allowed to talk about it.

A court wouldn't uphold it. Same with EULAs.
There's a community page coming up for GW2, Ferny is on it. It will have all of the relevant information for everyone. If you can't wait though, http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=399065
Oh snap. LOL.
We're looking to do a preliminary streaming thing at around 8:30 EST tonight, gonna set up the channel and everything, and talk about what has gone down lately (leaks, etc).
The podcast will just simply be GAFWars2.
This is standard for all beta NDAs, most people just don't know this, regardless no one will adhere to it.
Yep, it IS hilarious.
Eh? Do you mean like watermarks on screenshots?
think email addresses on the game HUD
It's annoying as hell and serves no purpose at all other than to make them have to police a silly NDA.
agreed.
ANet don't play that. I don't blame them.
Protecting what's unfinished really, the game has been extremely well put together from the time they showed it nearly 2 years ago. People have literally played every single aspect of the game from what they've told us about. People have played zones from 1-50, they've played a dungeon and an explorable mode of that same dungeon, we've seen PvP and WvW, and on and on. Point is the game simply isn't finished and the NDA drops in April with the pre-purchase betas.

I simply disagree with their philosophy of hiding their unfinished game under an NDA. I like Blizzard's philosophy of putting an unfinished and buggy game out there just because they are Blizzard and everyone knows it will be polished to a mirror shine by the time its done. The MoP beta is extremely unfinished and buggy, but it's generating a huge amount of hype within the community because anyone can stream it, write about it, make videos on it, whatever.
Can you upload to itunes? Yay! Maybe one day we can have rountable discussion about classes
There won't even be an NDA on the remaining beta weekends, I'm sure we'll make it through this one just fine.
