Guild Wars 2

Botting is basically people using software that automates most actions for the character - so they could leave a "bot" to farm a certain area for hours unattended to collect XP / materials etc.
The lag is killing me at the moment, I've had about 2 hours of gametime with massive lag delays

Using automated programs to "play" characters to keep farming for gold and items.

The following dungeons are much more fun and better tuned imho, either the 40+ ones are too easy or AC is too hard.
The rangers, elementalist and necromancer mobs in AC are just plain ridiculous.
Played for about 8hr per day but I was have the opportunity to run through it before quite a few times so it was not that new to me bar the amount of people I have had in the zones with me.
Hope the big day went well!
Odd I had lag on on the overflow server, and just resorted to exploring and avoiding mobs.

I wish they would do patch notes, apparently a couple of skills have already been adjusted (cloak of shadows for thief and torch skillls for guardian)
Actually, change your password into something easy to remember, but really long, like 'i am really really rubbish at remembering my password'.
Not sure how long GW2 passwords can be, but the above will totally flummox a dictionary attack, and a brute force hack takes exponentially longer to work the more characters there are in a password.
So how does questing work at those lofty levels ? Maybe put it in spoiler tags as not to ruin someones fun.

GW2 passwords can be 100 characters long.
And yes, as above, the best passwords is just to make a really long one, much harder to break and much easier to remember.
People often forget just how horrific WoW's EU launch was, Servers were up and down more often then a lady of the nights knickers, lag was terrible, queues lasting hours (would people prefer this to the current overflow issues GW2 has?). Loot lag bug that lasted for months on end.
There was a reason we were getting free days added to our accounts like candy!
Oh and all this 4-5 months after the US launch.
I think I have decided, the game is great, the events are amazing. Good fun, but the leveling just seems pointless to me... Have no real 'goal' to get to. In WoW, hit it on the head. You play your character to level xx, gaining skills, talents etc etc on the way. Giving you something to aim for. Once you got to the end game. You knew how to play and what your play style was.
Sure there were stronger builds than others. But none the less.
GW2, it's only flaw is the biggest for my in my opinion. No aim or 'feel' for your character. Try out several weapon types and combos, find the one that suits you. Done. Level 10 sorted. Sure you get a few more skills over time. But they are not play style changers. Leaving you with 70 levels of events and quests.
So yea, sadly, not the MMO I have been looking for
Absolute shame really, as if it had the same leveling mechanics as WoW (talents and skills every 2 levels), I would have been in heaven.
Please, don't get me wrong, GW2 is amazing, the devs have done a FANTASTIC job with this. Really good game and thoroughly rec it to anyone looking for a new MMO.
Each to their own mate but you'll hate wow after mop launch if the talents is an issue as after mop its 1 talent point every 15-20 levels. The amount of customisation and uniqueness is being removed
Pure gold that... props to Anet actually responding and some of the chat log quotes are just epic.

Just read up on that.
Why one earth did they think that would be a good move? Jesus.
Just had a quick skim through that, it is rather funny
It's all racism and they still wonder why they got banned.

Wotcha folks.
I've just picked up a copy online, installed it overnight (already getting password phishing emails despite never having logged into the game! Yay!)
I plan to play it as a casual on-again-off-again type of game, do a bit of levelling, have an explore, try out new characters, do a dungeon if there are people on who want one, help with someone's personal story quest for fun etc, but won't have a regular 'schedule' of being online, so not looking for a hardcore guild. Would either of the OCUK guilds be suitable? Or willing to have me? A decent, active guild chat and players willing to help one another out has always seemed to me to make or break an MMO experience, so that's what I'm looking for. I get the impression the Desolation guild is looking to be a bit more focussed, whereas the other one (arg, can't find the name in the thread now) might be more open to casual membership?
Failing that, anyone come across any friendly/chatty guilds they can recommend?
