Guild Wars 2

Does anyone know if our beta chars will carry over to retail? I'm guessing not just wondering if it is a possiblity.

No...they get wiped dude for every beta and Retail.

So if my accounts are linked, everyone of my GW1 names are saved right?

Don't anyone be stealing D Is For Lysdexia from me now

Wont matter as they are using the #YYYY number thing to resolve conflicts.

My comment was mainly directed at Dist who seemed to be getting a little upset over the whole issue.

I'm not upset, it's just after the hundreds of people clueless about time zones spamming in #diablo3, then the same in #guildwars2 and now people on these forums it's just a little disappointing to see such a huge number of people without a basic grasp of time zones. As I said previously my comments a few posts ago was not aimed specifically at you, so lets just drop it.

Now back to GW2, other than a lack of some races, are there any other major features missing from the beta that are planned to be implemented at release?

Apparently so although I would prefer to use single names which wasn't possible in GW1. It worked in the previous betas so hopefully they allow singulars in retail.

The first think I will do on release day is create a bunch of chars to reserve wanted names, although I can only think of one right now

I think there will be areas you cant go....that arent open as such?

 

[cosmos55]

really dumb question...did they add or will there be an auction house?

 

[jakspyder]

You know its gonna be epic when people are making videos of the login screen

QTE!

Anyone else getting a client crash when they start it up? Mine starts checking for updates then brings up an error message. :/

Edit: nvm, finally moved it out of my download folder and it's working now. The .tmp might be buggered or it's decided it doesn't like that folder path or something.

 

[cosmos55]

there is a new 30mb or so update, check ya firewall

Auction house where you can also list items you are looking to buy with a price, and then people can sell them rather than listing them

No player to player trading though, only mailing accessible from a menu anywhere in the game.

How come you've only died 6000ish times for 3000ish hours played, while I've had over 10,000 deaths in that much time

AFK addict

That's a crazy way to get Survivor though, I can't believe it!

 

[Snograt]

That many deaths because I suck

I only ever death levelled one pet, so the rest were accidents...

 

[OminousLatinNoun]

150k into this afk, wasn't especially planning on going past 40 HoM, but I will afk survivor now in case I come back to it.

Thanks for the tip!

 

[bhavv]

So I suck more

You need to pre purchase the game.

 

[Evilsod]

Is there something going on on GW or something?

And how can you possibly die that much I've only died 5200 times in 4000 hours on my main and he's a runner and generally reckless chest runner, plus lots of HM and some time as a 1hp BiP in DoA ^^

 

[Spuj]

Bah, might be able to get a couple of hours on the Beta Saturday evening as i'm out and about most of the weekend

Going to roll Elementalist on release so going to try ranger, necro and engi during the Beta's.

You need to pre purchase the game.

If I pre-purchased now would I be able to play tonights beta?
