Guildwars 2 Beta Thread

[Worthington]

seriously!

 

[manko]

If you have already pre-purchased the standard digital edition, do you have two key codes or just one? I ordered from Gamefly and so far only have the pre-purchase code which I successfully registered on the official site. Should I expect an email with a second code closer to launch or is my already registered pre-purchase code the same as the live/launch code?

I'm just wondering if I have to be on the lookout for a second code or if I'm all set.

Is there a way to see where the servers are located? i.e. West coast, central, east coast?

Yes I want to know this as well. I want this game for pvp and need as low a ping as possible.

I hear they're all located in the same place in Texas, so you can't really choose based on location.

So what Server is everybody picking?

 

[ShintaiDK]

Ye all US servers are placed iN texas, and all EU in London.

Not 100% if I am going to follow through and pick this up, but I am going to join up with you if I do. I'll PM you if/when I get set up

Alright sounds good.

For anyone else interested I will miss out on the head start as I will be out of town this weekend and not have much access to a computer. Hope to be on sunday or Monday night of that weekend.

 

[Rhezuss]

Yeah, me too i'll miss the head start...
But hey, no biggie, plenty of time left in life to play this game!

Guild Wars 2

We will be conducting a stress test tomorrow Wednesday, August 15 from 12:00 Noon PACIFIC Time to 4:00 PM PACIFIC Time.

We will be actively working on the game during the event, so you might experience connectivity problems or discover features that are not working as designed.

Any issues you experience are a result of the rigorous conditions of the stress test, and are in no way representative of the state of the game at launch.

By participating in this stress test, you’re helping us make Guild Wars 2 a better game. Thanks for your cooperation—we’ll see you in-game!
--
Please note:
* The stress test is open to anyone who has pre-purchased Guild Wars 2.
* Characters will not be wiped from the previous Stress Test.

RAWR!

so i guess its dungeons for me...

 

[Genx87]

Sooo tempting to buy the pre-order tonight. Is the beta client still available?

 

[GaiaHunter]

The client is available.
It is isn't a beta client though - it is just the client.
It is around 16 GB.

to be honest your not going to get much in 4 hours unless your characters are already setup.

30min til servers go up... if it goes as schedule.

 

[KMFJD]

Stormbluff , their pvp seemed more organized

 

[thujone]

meh i was kind of looking forward to starting a new character. i mean i guess i'll just have to wait a week lol

yeah i was thinking about this too.
Blackgate also seemed pretty organized as well.

well in 4 hours u can explore the land.
But considering a lot of skills open up at lvl20, your not going to get lvl20 in 4 hours.

Hence the only skills u can test and play with is the ones u unlock with different weapons.

Well u could always go WvW, but again, if u dont know which sigals are optimized for your build, your SOL, and asking to get raped.


EDIT: servers are up!

 

[zokudu]

I'm staying on Stormbluff, got a guild going if anyone is interested in joining once launch rolls around.
