Really wish I could buy this game, alas the only version available is the collectors, and at a cost of £130+ really cant justify it 
How long do people think it will be before they allow more players in?

wow... 80 with 30 complete.. I'm currently 67 with over 70% complete 
I'm an achiever, I achieve things..
I'm an achiever, I achieve things..
Im at level 52 with 35% map completion ... I've been trying to delay both of those while trying to level my Jewelcrafting and tailoring, but unfortunately you have to kill stuff while hunting for gold ore nodes, and I couldnt resist doing hearts and other map stuff along the way on the level 40+ areas with gold.
I have 190 JC and still just 24 tailoring, 200 in each is needed to craft myself a super sweet level 50 yellow armor set embedded with masterwork T3 gems. T3 masterwork Peridot Nuggets give +9 power, +2% critical chance, I can craft a yellow level 50 honing armor set so that would give max power and crit damage which = pew pew pew, 200 base damage suddenly crits for 600-800+!
Do want, but my tailoring sucks and I dont want to pay for mats when I'll have enough eventually from playing the game. I kind of figured that unless you fund your crafting on your first character, armor crafts will remain undeveloped, but cook + JC are easy to level from just farming plants and nodes.

Cheers mate

My local game had plenty of copies spare.....the price is a bit off putting though, £50......
Ditto, I went in the first dungeon last night, think I only lost about 5 silver in repairs though, but I died a lot.
We didn't complete it as someone in the group left, we would probably have finished it after 10 more wipes

I got a digital key which was only 36.99
Mods remove if the link if you want

It took about 20-30mins for me to get the key from them.
One thing I noted when I was playing last night was that you get different skills for different weapons I really do like that idea. I was running in with my mesmer swinging my sword then backroll and start wanding
I'd like to think these 2 people from wabs guild arent ocukers.
they got angry because i was farming the trolls in forstgorge and i prefered not to sit and wait until they gathered every mob to aoe them
i can only assume some people think they "own" farming areas
btw i did try aoeing with them but as a ranger my aoes are pretty weak and on a fairly hefty cooldown and it didnt appear to be enough to get me any loot which is why i just ran around single target dps on my own

I bought a key last night at 7 and it still hasn't arrived. I have emailed them but have had no response! I think it's a bit hit and miss.

Ye someone left our group, I died more than 20 times and that's serious at one point i was basically running round naked because i just couldn't be bothered to repair my amour!
Check list required for doing dungeons:
1) Bare minimum of 15 silver in your inventory that you dont mind burning away (may need more at higher levels due to increased repair costs)
2) Patience, and up to 4 hours of free time at least on your first run.
3) GUILD GROUP with people who know how to at least swap weapon sets and not zerg. Melees should focus on killing trash and swap to ranged for and gold / purple named bosses. Pugs especially with first timers will not go well at all.
On my first time in both AC and CM, it took over 3 hours even in guild groups, but fortunately everyone stayed until the end. In random pugs people cannot believe or tolerate the difficulty and time required and start rage quitting. In AC one of my guildies was in a group with 4 random pugs (I missed his guild chat message asking for more people due to being AFK because I want to do dungeons all the time). One person quit after 2 bosses so he asked in GC for one more and I joined. Then we lost two more people while failing at the Lovers (the absolute hardest boss fight EVER!) - one person wasnt prepared for how long it took and had to go, the other quit cos we failed just 3 times (on the third time we had one boss at 20% health, and the other at 40%, then we all wiped and they reset), and they got replaced by 2 more guildies and then we succeeded on our 4th attempt at them.
We were constantly throwing boulders at them to knocklock and seperate, most people dont know that you need to do this to win without 1 hit ko massive AoEs. When the bosses auras overlap, they deal insane damage and overlap massive AoEs that = wipe unless they are seperated and knocklocked with boulders.
The good news is that once you can defeat the Lovers, you should be prepared for everything this game has to throw at you, its a great boss fight to break people into the dungeons.
4) Constant kiting, evading out of red circles, preperation to die and party wipe an awful lot. No tanking in GW2, you cannot stand still, you cannot take damage, you cannot hold agro. Whenever I see people specifying that they need a tank for a dungeon in map chat I just facepalm.
5) Good gear (this is not GW1). I went into level 45 explorable CM at level 48 with a full set of level 46 green + 2 yellow armor pieces mainly specced in Honing with 40% crit chance, 32% crit damage and over 1000 power, and the green level 45 staff from personal story, and I was still nothing but a pure gimp
6) Again - NO TANKS IN GW2!!! Ask for / require a tanky specced character, and you kill stuff slower and get wiped more. I played a few times with a vitality / toughness focused guardian, and he still got 1 shotted by the same stuff that killed my squishy power / precision ele. I also played around with 10 points in Earth traits for my ele for increased condition damage mainly and +5% melee range damage perk, and no the +100 toughness did absolutely nothing to help me stay alive any longer.
7) Stuff has like a billion HP, all 5 people need to be DPSing as much as possible, while casting any support skills on recharge (I would swap into Water attunement to cast the AoE heals, then swap between Earth for the AoE + Shield spells, fire to drop nukes, Air for blind + knockback, repeat, repeat, repeat, and after 10+ minutes of trying something finally dies
).8) When dead click on the nearest waypoint and run back asap. Dont wait for people to res you, it takes to long. When low on health / downed, do everything possible to keep yourself alive as long as you can - run around like a headless chicken, cast shields, invulnerability, keep moving and dont stay still. The reason for all this is that if the party fully wipes, the mobs reset their HP just like you do when no more enemies are agroed. You cannot wait for regroups without them resetting, you need to keep people in the fight all the time, and you need to keep alive / downed as long as you can while other people are ressing and coming back so the mobs dont reset.
9) Enjoy it before everything is either dumbed down, or characters are over buffed / power crept to a level where you can do all the dungeons with your eyes closed.
