Guild Wars 2: Pre-Release Discussion

[vrumpt]

Lets nuke em.

[Katlan]

lol, people always get mad about not getting beta invites and they base it on their dedication to the game. One of these days those ppl will realize beta tests are completely 100% random based on comp statistics and choices selected during the option window for beta sign ups. And even then, there are hundreds of ppl who prolly have very close to the same comp, and hundreds of thousands w/ the same beta sign up choices.

[Tonka]

I thought they did internet background checks on all their applicants and had people review all the posts and gauge for excitement and dedication to the progress of the game over the years...

lol wow this is how the typical person on guru feels? soo entitled? over everyone else? thing is people there are agreeing with him

Should post links when quoting from Guru. Makes it easier to troll.

slightly updated look on official wiki

Discussion here will most likely always completely dwarf anything on guru so I'm just going to avoid it. Since I'm most likely going to have my guild of friends and then the BG guild/alliance and most likely the reddit guild that'll be enough for me. If anyone who happens to have gotten into beta wants to get a full list of server names to me after the NDA is lifted we can start discussion on picking a server to play with since we'll all wanna be together for WvW

[vrumpt]

Is the NDA going to be lifted for everybody or just the press again? I was under the impression this NDA is permanent for non-press participants.

No clue how its going to work, I do expect NDA to be lifted/relaxed when pre-purchase beta events start.

[Eanae]

Well if we have to wait till prepurchase betas to start deciding on a server that will be fine.

[bluefan]

I think I read somewhere that once BWE start, NDA is null and void.

[Celeras]

Closed beta =/= Beta weekend events. This next event is closed beta. On April 10th you can preorder and get access to beta weekend events. Closed beta has NDA, BWE does not.

Where did that info come from? I mean the second weekend? As far as I have seen its going to be the same, Just like the last "press" event, there were people invited to play that were not press.

Guy in my guild is

[Tonka]

Public (not press) but still closed. I know, not really public. But I think that's what he was trying to convey.

[Zerocool]

Well yeah, public as in general public vs. the press. As in, the beta invites they're sending out to the general public atm.

[Tonka]

Yes. I need to submit a ticket as it seems my invite has gotten lost in all the excitement. :\

[Takiwaki]

I see, as far as I know it should be the same weekend, I could be wrong
