Guild Wars 2: Pre-Release Discussion

I can't register my account as I keep getting an error with the proxy server about sending a request that timed out or something like that.

I bought the digital copy but I want to play /sadface.

Anyone know wtf is up with it?

EDIT: Tried 3 more times and got it working. :D

**Takiwaki** · 2012-07-20 16:08

they nerfed the hell out of karma rewards lol

**bluefan** · 2012-07-20 16:12

Definitely going Asura now.

Spent the last couple hours just making characters and checking out models and voice work and lines etc...

Asura is the most interesting IMO. Just that races demeanor, animations, voice acting (woot Felicia Day)...perfect.

Currently on Sanctum of Rall. Waiting for Dragir gimme a shout if you are online dude! Eldrenar...

**Arelian** · 2012-07-20 18:23

Ermahgerd the item preview system is in. Fuuuuuuuck these armor sets look sweet.

**Azull** · 2012-07-20 18:27

Having fun so far. Game looks great. Getting used to the controls and combat. Can i tell what server i am on while in game?

**Meko** · 2012-07-20 18:45

I only got to play for about 20 minutes but I do like the look of the game. I did notice that the controls felt a little awkward, though. It could be that I'm still trying to get over the D3 click-to-move hurdle or maybe the controls are a little weird? It certainly felt a little different than other WASD games like WoW/Rift etc etc.

**notorious bum** · 2012-07-20 18:52

I'm naturally inept when it comes to the whole "walk, control camera, and press 1-9 for your attacks at the same time" But, I will suck it up and learn it. Still hope they add controller support for couch-mode at a later date.

**Oreth** · 2012-07-20 19:15

Liking it so far. Definatley not short on things to do but so easy to get sidetracked. Really need to decide if your gonna do missions or do everything as it pops up as you progress or maybe you are just meant to do it all

Even though i picked a pretty big Char everyone seems rather blocky or stumpy but still impressed with teh game and content so far. Just wish i could understand all the abilities traits etc a little more!

**Rhyis.** · 2012-07-20 19:18

So much smoother than the previous beta. It's like night and day.

**Azull** · 2012-07-20 19:22

seems i am on Sanctum of Rall. If anyone sees me ingame im Azull Abaddon

**Solace** · 2012-07-20 20:28

Sylvari are fucking amazing. That is all...

**vrumpt** · 2012-07-20 22:15

Loving vistas way more than I thought I would. Shit reminds me Assassin's Creed with climbing up and getting the synchronization on a new area as you come to it. So far vistas are perfectly placed so that the platforming isn't too tedious and long enough to be satisfying. Yeah, way cooler than I thought they would be.

Was thinking of trying ranger out this beta if they gave that class some love. Anybody know if they did their pet overhaul that they were talking about?

**arus2001** · 2012-07-20 22:21

Had the occasional disconnect, but nothing to really complain about there. Probably just my aging video card, but I do have the occasional issue with buildings popping in and out of existence. The human city throne room was also a rendering nightmare, it'd seem, as NPCs would flicker as well as the environment. Also feeling a bit weird on the controls. Would be a lot easier if you could go full keyboard, but I swear FFXI is the only game to ever embrace that.

**Celeras** · 2012-07-20 22:43

Ive come to expect that kind of comment since this is an XI forum, but no. Full keyboard is never better or easier. In fact, its the basis for entire strings of insults in all other games lol. Keyboard turning is typically a telltale sign of drool on the chin. Embrace the master race

And yeah loving vistas too, but kinda wish they weren't on the map. Hoping all aren't!

**arus2001** · 2012-07-20 22:49

Pushing arrows with your thumb is hard, I guess. Otherwise, I hate yanking my right hand from the mouse to type, or how the left hand can't really comfortably go past 4 or 5 if you're still trying to WASD move. I have a Naga mouse, but it's still not the same.

**Siya** · 2012-07-20 22:50

Is the AH not functioning or something? I am unable to buy

also needs AH previews (as far as I can tell you can't) because I love browsing the AH for cool looking gear.

**Shuichi** · 2012-07-20 23:01

Game is definitely running great for me. Also, I play full keyboard just fine. GKeys on the left, and movement mapped to the number pad. So far the Asura and the Sylvari are pretty sweet. I think I'm gonna roll Sylvari for launch, so I've just been playing Asura all evening. The Asura animations are fantastic.

**Intrinsic** · 2012-07-20 23:41

I preordered months ago and still haven't done a beta weekend. Looks like I'll have to jump into this one, downloading now. The Norn better be as awesome as I'm expecting.

**bluefan** · 2012-07-21 00:23

I want to keep playing the Asura but don't want to spoil the story until launch. Zojja is awesome lol. Exactly like the book...snappy but cute.
Fuuuuuuuuuuu.

Guess I'll play Sylvari for the weekend.
