couple of days? I quit after couple of hours, after i found I'm all alone out side of town, unless I join a party, i wouldn't call that mmorpg but then it's free so....

if GW2 is using same system, I wont touch it.

[NSX]

Cant wait for this. I spend thousands of hours on the first one. If only they will come out with a release date......

[Hummus]

the underwater fight looks amazing! having played the first one im still debating if i should get this simply cause i know ill be glued to d3 :P

but my choice of profession would either be elem or a guardian.

[underscore]

I love GW (currently replaying through Prophesies with my g/f that I just got hooked on it) and I've spent quite a bit of time on it over the years. I have mixed feelings about the new one, I'll definitely pick it up but I'm not sure if I'll like it or not. Since I still haven't gotten around to beating Factions and NightFall and EotN yet I'm not in any rush haha.

[ShadowBun]

Apparently closed alpha tests have already started and its only for 'family and friends' :fuuuuu:

After playing UO, EQ, DAOC, SWO, Shadowbane AO, WoW ect... I told myself I'd never play another MMORPG because they suck up to much time. After watching the 10 reasons why this game is worth looking at I might just have to give it a shot.

Release this year for sure

First public beta event is coming this weekend for those who preordered!

I wasn't planning on preordering since there isn't even a release date yet, AND I'm gonna be occupied when D3 comes out.

But preordering will guarantee access to all upcoming beta events, so I'm very tempted now since I'll probably end up buying it when it does come out. And I'm sure I'd need a break from Diablo.

Anyone preordered? Which edition?

Just a heads up, the public beta weekend is for prepurchase (full price of the game) not preorder.

Errr, yea thanks. I meant prepurchase, but for some reason I typed preorder.

[ShadowBun]

I pre ordered it through ebgames
got the code for beta too

bad gateway.... the site being stormed.

[ForbiddenX]

prepurcahsed on the guildwars2 site, can't wait for the weekend. I loved GW1 and GW2 looks like it'll be awesome

[ShadowBun]

been downloading it for a couple hours
pretty slow speed

What profession you guys gonna start with?

[dyan]

This game has caught my attention along with diablo 3.. I tried the beta for D3 and don't really have anything to compare it with since I haven't really played this genre of games nor have I tried GW1. Can anyone give me an insight on the similarities and differences?

I'm leaning towards starting with Necro. Interested in the Guardian as well. Apparently there's 5 character slots in the beta, so I'll probably end up messing around with all of them.

Gonna see if I could find/join a guild and see what server they're gonna choose. I don't have any Guild Wars friends. :alone:

[strykn]

is it only a weekend beta ?

[woob]

^ yes.

There will be more weekend beta events prior to release.

[dyan]

Happened to be "sold out" LOL

[tdeweyn]

I'm thinking of purchasing this game, but don't you think the gameplay is kind of slow in multiplayer?

[strykn]

this game is the WoW killer... I get the same feeling as I did playing vanilla WoW... cant wait for release O__________O

[Verdasco]

damn another mmo that will take over my day? :fuckthatshit: i will stick to CS and DotA

yeaaaa the day before diablo 3 :)

[Narayan]

Well the release date has been set for Aug 28th... Since I'm bored out of my mind with D3 I think ill pre-order it.

'Guild Wars 2' launching August 28th | The Verge (http://www.theverge.com/gaming/2012/6/28/3123033/guild-wars-2-release-date)

I'm honestly just reading up on the game now and so far everything looks great... especially the way they're handling the levelling grind and playing with friends who maybe hire level then you.

Is anyone in Beta? How is the game?

[J.C]

I was in beta a couple weeks ago and its meh

There were only humans, charr, and norn available.

It was hard to play with friends that are different races because it takes literally forever to travel across your land. I tried to get to the norn place, but I couldn't find out how. I walked all the way over and I ended up being blocked by mountains and stuff. There are warps around everywhere, but you can only use them if you unlock them (you unlock them by going to them at least once). Other then walking/using warps, I could not find a way to get charr/norn land.
The story was easy at first and you get far ahead to a point where the enemies start to 1 hit you and you get a bit stuck.

The graphics were great even at the lowest settings. In PVP, you get all your profession's skills and you can try them all out, level doesn't matter in PVP as everybody's stats are made equal and there are shops that give you free items so you can customize your character for PVPing

I also like how you can go underwater and you can kill stuff under there and how each of your stories are determined by what choices you make

I played the mesmer, thief, and engineer classes and my favourite was the thief.
Mesmer's are cool because they can make clones and stuff, but the clones don't do damage.
I didn't like engineer's because I don't like the fact that you only basic attack with 1 gun even though your holding 2. (but i think it's like that for every job)
My fav was the thief because I personally like going invisible and being ninja n stuff.

So far, the game has been mehhh, the big disadvantage is how its hard to play with your friends that are different races, but that's just me, I never played GW1 before so I don't know a lot about the game yet

[bakasam]

You know there is a portal you can go to which leads to the portals of every "home city" I dont remember the name cause I haven't played the more recent betas. But essentially meeting up isn't hard to do at all.

[J.C]

^ oh didn't know about that =/

[Narayan]

ya I heard about the portal too and once you unlocked way points you can warp anywhere you want... so no 30minute Griffin flights across the map or waiting for boats.

Thanks for your review on the classes... When I first read about the profession choices I thought the engineer would be my first selection but after watching some youtube videos and reading your review I doubt it will.

[ShadowBun]

hard thing in beta is always the different servers
one second ur in overflow where ur friend is in the main server etc

[J.C]

After I hit around level 10, it was pretty cool.
You can use skills to equip yourself with grenades, flamethrowers etc
and you get a whole new skill set which was pretty cool
grenades were hard aim and use for me, but the flamethrower was pretty cool
engineers not too bad, just not for me

[Narayan]

Has anyone played around with the Guardian or the Mesmer?

I heard Mesmer was super OP but since the last beta go around got nerfed quite a bit.

[J.C]

beta weekend this friday, sylvari and asura is playable

sooo stoked

[muteki]

Can't wait to try out Sylvari :3

[dyan]

i have a beta key laying around. If anyone is interested PM me :)

EDIT: Only good for this weekend.

[strykn]

My body is ready.

[J.C]

what did everyone end up making?

i made a bunch of sylvari's and asuras
warrior, thief, elementalist, mesmer and i decided to stick with elementalist
lots of skills, most fun class i've played

[ZenZa]

Doesn't seem like many revsceners are planning on getting this game?

Anyone know of a guild I could join? Mainly for PvE and WvW.

[essel]

I'll be playing as well!

[3klipze]

can't wait til this game comes out!

diablo 3 RMAH basically paid for this game ! ahah

[DC5-S]

Wish this game had a wide variety of epic items and rares etc. but its only based on pvp

[ZenZa]

We should all try to get onto the same server.

[Grim]

Which game is better? GW2 or TERA?
cant decide...

[muteki]

We should all try to get onto the same server.

This would be interesting if more RSers were playing, since major community sites are all going on the same server.

[ShadowBun]

cant wait for the multi server wars!

im up for RS raids

[ImportPsycho]

nvm

[bakasam]

I'll be on Yak's Bend :)

[Traum]

Dumb question -- how do you hit the enemy in GW2? Is it more like TOR where the attack takes place when you press the [1] or whatever number key? or is it more like D3 where you pre-select a skill, and then the attack happens when you (mouse) click on the mob?

From the videos and stuff, I suspect it is more like TOR, but I can't tell for sure.

[JHuJHu]

Never played this GW 1 before, but pre purchased gw 2 anyways.

Was thinking about playing Warrior , any ideas on what race is good for warriors?

[_Hotsauce_]

Game is looking pretty appealing since D3 is getting boring.

in guildwars 1, you preselect the TARGET first, then press 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, to unleash your attack. AOE attacks happen around your selected target. The fighting system could be different in GW2 though.

trying to get into a server, but its always full.

On Isle of Janthir because it's Reddit's main server and they were the ones that found out a lot of the exploits and such first for D3. I'd avoid whatever server 4Chan happens to be on. XD

[J____]

dang it, took 24 hours to download the game here and can't login because the servers are messed up

So, what does everything think so far about the game? Is it worth buying? Been thinking I'll wait for some reviews but am tempted to buy it soooon.

[ZenZa]

Alright, the guild creation is finally working, I've made a Revscene guild.

Add me, ZenZa 2950 for invite.

By the way, I'm on Henge of Denravi. If you guys don't have any affiliations on your current server, you can join this server (free server changes for now). They are kicking ass in WvWvW, yet I haven't had too long of a queue to join it (for now).

[Gerbs]

Anyone looking for gw2 copy. i bought it and i cant run it on my laptop :-( pm if intrested.

[JayEch]

So, what does everything think so far about the game? Is it worth buying? Been thinking I'll wait for some reviews but am tempted to buy it soooon.

Im just holding off buying it right off the bat till all the hype dies down and the honey moon period is over. Really hope this game isnt just another hyped up wow killer. Very tempted to buy it as well lol.

[_Hotsauce_]

I went for it, initial reviews are super positive...and well, I'm bored of Diablo 3, haha.

Sure wish my laptop had a cd drive right now, the download is painfully slow.

[Ch28]

Played an hour tonight. Really enjoying it so far!

[ZenZa]

Since I had someone PM me about not being able to add me, how about you guys post your name.code here and I'll just add you guys to the RS guild.

1. ZenZa.2950
2.

[Narayan]

I preordered the game and my expectations were very high but I'm happy to say they were met and thensome. The game is very different from a typical MMO though so keep that in mind when you're playing.

The top things I enjoy about it are pvp, crafting and the combat. The game is very skill based compared to wow which is very gear based.

[ShadowBun]

anyone in I of J?

I'm really having a good time playing the game. I really liked GW1 and played that hardcore back in high school. Haven't been playing as much as I've wanted to though.. only level 15 right now.

Those big events are really fun too. I've only encountered the Shadow Behemoth so far.

[Mozo]

Hey guys, not sure if this was asked already, but is there a free trial like what WoW does? or does anyone have any trial invites?

They just logged me out and when I logged back in I was already in my chosen world. Not sure if this is temporarily but the transfer was free as well

[TOS'd]

They just logged me out and when I logged back in I was already in my chosen world. Not sure if this is temporarily but the transfer was free as well

Free transfers for now until everything settles apparently. But in the beginning, it took at least a day for the transfer to work. Nice to see that I'm able to transfer and play right away. Later on they will make transfers paid actions.

[bobola]

online sale is back .. !!

[Sango]

According to the community manager in her blog (gone now), the world transfers are free for the time being.

World - Guild Wars 2 Wiki (GW2W) (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/World)

As for the online sales from what I heard from one of the people who works at Anet reps, they underestimated the amount of online sales and ran out of the keys once it was all filled up initially.

[Cman333]

Anyone on Blackgate?

[impulseX]

should i get the game? so tempted but i have borderlands 2 on the way and not convinced i should drop more money on another game (especially since i never played the first guild wars)

Anyone still playing or is this game dead?

I'm still playing, seems to be fairly busy ingame still.

[RFlush]

what server are you on? Im thinking of buying this game, is it worth it?

[Traum]

If you haven't played the game yet, it's totally worth it.

[underscore]

Sorrows Furnace IIRC. I think it's well worth it, no monthly fee means I can leave it for a few months when I get busy and then pick it back up again. And the way the game works you have stuff to do whether you have a few hours to play or only a few minutes.

[Cman333]

I'm on....

[knight604]

sorry to bump this, just started anyone still playing this?

Im on crystal desert

[underscore]

I play tonnes, on Sorrows Furnace still in a big guild.

[J____]

just started playing this again, but lag is horrible in china. So inconsistent and boots me every 2 minutes while instancing, with or without VPN. Fun game, but still WoW is king in mmo's, that damn game just always has a way to hook you. GW2 doesn't really have a hook and gets boring
