Guild Wars 2

[Frenzy]

****, this is out?? I kept putting off thinking it was a month away!

Hm, to be fair I don't know much about the game. I just know a lot of people are saying it is the next coming of WoW...

edit: best place to grab a ce?

Are you lot going to put GW2 on your SSD's?

I will be, I always put my main game on my ssd.

I heard the beta was 11gb but not sure how big the final version will be.

 

[Syronin]

How big will the install be?

If i remember correctly the final install is something like 25 GB.

Only Zavvi do CE as a prepurchase giving you acccess to the beta weekends and 3 days early access.

Others places selling CE are just preorders with only 1 day early access.

We still dont know for sure if it is weeks or months away.. i am sure they would want us to have at least 4 beta weekends as prepurchasers.

I got a new PC mainly because of GW2. GW2 for sure will be living on my SSD.

The current beta sits at 12Gb. Not sure how much different that will be compaired to the full version. System requirements though say 25Gb. I guess that's a worst case.

so nobody else is getting the bad gateway problem?

 

[francky]

Yeah I specifically bought my SSD for GW 2.

If you are talking about the forums, it is because they are not up yet.

Thanks for that but... jesus. I just saw the price... 130???????????????????

I don't recall paying that for any other mmo CE =/ I've bought them all too!

Is the GW2 region lock EU wide. Can I buy in the UK and still play in France, Spain, Holland?

You should be able to, from what I've read the region lock on Login servers (game servers are not region locked) seems to be split into EU and NA, nothing more specific than that.

Thats great then, I can buy my bro a copy

I got that for 90 from game =/ Granted it wasn't a pre order.

Same, keep getting a 502 trying to get the client.

That's part of the stress test

 

[OminousLatinNoun]

Hardly. 3/4 of them were just bad, unusable, impractical or just plain inferior. Fact is PvP, both in HA and GvG, was for 8 man teams. You had something to balance off, which is why some spike skills got horribly nerfed because they were too easy to use and inflicted too much damage in teams of 8. But how do you balance WvW if its say, 500 people vs 350 people?

They aren't balancing WvW, not competitively anyway.

That's why you can use racial skills in it which are locked in competitive PVP, and things like environmental weapons / siege golems etc.

Stereotypical generic I JUST CANT WAIT post!

Getting sick of seeing my OH's face no without a decent MMO.

Are you lot going to put GW2 on your SSD's?

Nah, my SSD caches my storage drive as well as being my OS volume.

It says on my Zavvi account that they have dispatched the CE. So hopefully my Pre-Purchase access code will arrive next week.
