Hi guys, i pre purchased through the offical guild wars website, and i'm yet to receive the email with the link to download the client.

https://account.guildwars2.com/account

I can log into the above adress but under download client it just says not available?

Any suggestions?

Me too, i doubt anyone has a link from an email for the upcoming beta events to download the client. They should be sending them out soon though.

Just use the old gw2.exe thats floating about on the internet, it auto updates to the new patcher welcoming you to the beta event weekends and then downloads all the files you need. Its been out a few hours but not officially

I was having the same issue but it was due to the password length, would only accept the first 15 characters.

How much do the miniatures go for generally at the moment? The white 5th anniversary ones? I just need 2 for another HoM point.

What about armor remnants/fragments? While I could farm the Sunspear ones, the other ones look slightly more complicated/tiresome. (I'd only need 2)

Deldrimor armour remnants are the easiest to farm as they are guaranteed drops from the quest in the central transfer chamber.

I farmed it until I had enough drops, it was easy finding groups back when I did it because I offered to play an E/Rt restoration healer so everyone needed me, but I dont think theres many more groups doing it now, and its one of those difficult with heroes quests because you get attacked with huge waves of enemies coming in from two different paths.

The password hash thing is weird. Hope it doesnt allow people to try and hack your account easier. Looking at it, it also means I have forgotten my password already.

It's just a colour hash of the characters entered I believe, basically a way to show you you've entered it correctly (since the colours will be the same each time), it can in no way contribute to your account being hacked unless someone has seen the particular colour hash of your password.

How do you get the FPS counter? I want to take a look at mine in game as the beta FPS were shockingly bad.

That is a Fraps counter.

You can use MSI Afterburner also.

Swarfega · 24 Apr 2012 at 16:13

Thanks.

Speaking of which I use Asus SmartDoctor or something to OC my GPU. I read you can use MSI Afterburner. Should I use Afterburner instead? The fact SmartDoctor runs at system startup kinda annoys me.

Dunno if you are aware but MSI afterburner can also cause stability issues when using the FPS counter, has been known to cause disconnection in some games.

You can't seriously believe 5 people made the entire vanilla game? Surely?

I've said many times I wasn't serious... I was silencing facepalming, and now I'm facepalming at you're comment... big /sigh. :rolleyes:

I thought as much after actually trying to log in. Thanks.

Getting the party is the problem. I can farm platinum easily enough.
