Is there any point in getting the digital deluxe version of this game? Will the $20 mean anything besides a companion and a few one use items? I know in SWTOR, I spent $20 on something I never used or needed.
Downloading a big patch now for the client, looks like it's around 3 gigs.
Yeah I was just letting people know it's up for dl, it's nice how arenanet has made the pathes for the beta early so far before they open.
Free game + 20% off voucher at GMG is available again for those that missed the first two times.

Just learned that GMG has restricted the free game to one per external IP. We tried to get it for my son and his friend and it kept telling us that they already owned it. Found on their forums that they limited it.
Seems they had some people abusing the system with the last deal.
They are doing a whole character wipe prior to BWE3 they announced on their twitter. The only thing staying is your contacts list so if you added them you should be able to find them. Esp if they have free transfers for 24h like the last 2 betas.
D: they recently said--2 weeks ago?--that all characters will continue in BWE3.
well, what annoys me is that I had only 1 or 2 levels to get to 30, so I could try the first dungeon.
SO annoying. Now...not sure what I want to do, definitely not mes, then. perhaps I will try ele or a bit more patience with the thief?
:hmm:
I preordered, however sadly I will not involve myself in the Beta, as I hate playing the first part of the game and more or less ruin it for myself before I actually play it for real.
More fun if I wait.
I still am certain I want to be an engineer or Mesmer though.
it will take at least a day to get used to the game and learn how not to die and how things work. it is quite difficult when you first start....so you might want to consider that
Maybe not a bad idea, I know many "normal" mechanics from MMOs are different in GW2, and I have read about alot of them.
Just need to pick my race also and such though before I know what I want.
I'll say this: after reading all of that same stuff and watching press videos before the public betas, and hearing about how different it was--it still didn't prepare me for what was truly different.
It honestly takes several hours, and at least about 8 or 9 levels to figure out how not to die.
On top of that, you aren't quite used to the way weapon sets are tied to the skill sets, so many ignore weapon collecting early on. That's probably the most important thing--grabbing all the weapons your class can use, as soon as you can (drops or purchasing; though money is pretty tight when starting out in this game).
but there is also the early access prior to general release. Either use that as the learning curve, or use it as an advantage for leveling.
as for your classes--I played my Mes up to level 29 through the previous events, and I thoroughly enjoy that class. now that she is wiped :\, I might go back to thief (played it briefly in first event, but felt that mele was punished in the first beta weekend build of the game--many felt this, but I also think mele gets much better as you level--or engineer. Many have been down on engineer, it seems. Not sure why--underpowered, not fun?
Nec is quite powerful I must say, and Ele seems to be really fun, though especially squishy.
Mes looks to be the best overall support class in PvE and PvP (especially PvP); but maybe I am biased.
