If I find it for you, can we spoon in it?

Fine, but dibs on little spoon.

Hi-res screenshots look awesome. I wish updates were coming out more frequently. Sort of losing some of the hype I had for this game now that TERA is picking up.

That's a really sweet pic.

Looks kinda spartan to me, actually. I hope there's more options for a lush environment. I'd like to see more ground clutter.

Fk, hate being big spoon...

I'm pretty sure you'll get your fill of updates starting on the 20th. 8)

The Jungles like Sparkfly Fen are plenty lush. I mean you really cant expect ground clutter everywhere.

[Lucavi]

Doesn't mean I don't want it everywhere.

[GoggleHead]

Do we know if there's going to be an open beta? I kind of want to be able to try out the classes before I build a character for the proper release servers.

I'm very very happy that invited press have 99% free reign over what they are allowed to post experiences about. To me that shows that Arenanet is very confident about their game. This is in contrast to say SWTOR, where invited press to the beta were only allowed to post details on experiences up to level 16.

Also very much looking forward to the detailed videos TB is gonna put out. This is going to be great.

Unfortunately this beta will have race and level restrictions.

Well to any companies defense even Blizzard who churns out top-notch games has something similar to that kind of NDA because they are still working on it and don't want shoddy controls, unfinished textures/zones and bugs that still need tweaking being the forefront of their publicity about the game. I like that they have full reign but it doesn't mean that the company is bad if they don't do it.

Was not aware of this. whats all included in this beta?
