If I install it, and do the updates, can I copy the folder across to my home PC?

jonneymendoza · 27 Aug 2012 at 11:28

Brilliant thanks.

How easy is it to get into? Do you have to read the manual or does it teach you as you go along quite well?

You'll need to take a 5 day training course, after which there are two written exams, only then will you be able to play the game

honestly I didn't have a manual, but It was fairly easy to get into, I've played around 20 hours and I know the basics and a little more, but still things to learn. I'll post a few link to some guides.

3 hours in i'm at level 5.

it seems more 'grindey' than I was led to believe..

How is the game running on people's rigs? played swtor at launch and that ran badly tbh

But that's not intentional is it? I noticed this in the beta and they still didn't fix it, there's simply not enough content to level with a good flow and I always find myself 2 levels behind of a lot of stuff, basically forcing you to grind an event.

The purpose of that is not so u can grind. but so u can level up in multiple ways such as exploring, crafting and pvp/wvw

Is not grindy at all, it's a standard mmo, took me like 40 hours in rift to get to level 20

I just bought this after watching some videos. Downloading the client at the moment.

Runs really well to be honest.

Wab, what's your character called?

Are you having fun ? Do you notice the levels tick past ?

I went from 12 - 15 last night and I honestly don't remember a single level because I was having so much fun.

I pre-ordered the game but cant login today. I keep getting "Either there is no current Guild Wars 2 event or this account is not authorized to participate in one." :mad:

I love how you're not restricted in the way you choose to level though. Follow your personal story through each are? No problem. Run around 100%ing all noob areas? No problem. Craft? No problem. The fact that you can WvW at any level has taken massive pressure off needing to rush and play catch up. I just hope there is longevity in the game for those who play hardcore so the game doesn't get ruined by them complaining about lack of endgame.

Excellent, you managed to sum up exactly how I feel about this game

+1

I'm following my story and finding it really hard to level. I try to do any events I come across but that's not helpping much. I'm forced to run around exploring and killing random stuff to get xp. I don't seem to get any choice in how I level I have to do everything just to be at the right level. Seems like a real lack of content, at least in the lower levels.

Also, people say you can get xp from crafting, but the game hasn't even mentioned crafting to me yet. Or going to other starter zones and grinding them too.

I realise some MMO may hold your hand more than some would like, but this one seems to have pushed me and a ****** off entirely and I have to guess what I'm supposed to be doing.

I pre-purchased this game about a week ago on OCUK store (I was getting replacement fluid for my system so I figured id latch it on the back, plus its more money for OCUK which is good, right?) but im still waiting for it...

I do somewhat regret ordering it from OCUK as anywhere else would have supplied the game. I know the official release date is 28th but pre-order is meant to give 3 day headstart. Guess I missed that one...

No huge biggy other than im back in work tomorrow which naturally limits my playtime.

Somewhat annoyingly however is my order has been on 'printed in warehouse' for the last few days. I was hoping to get hold of it at least tonight so I could get a few hours in but thats quickly running off. My only concern really is if it hasn't been shipped today then it wont arrive tomorrow. Which in turn doesn't make it a pre-order...

Anyone else pre-order from OcUK here?
