Guild Wars 2

Sweet, will get on it! Just out of curiosity, how many players will there be on a single server that I join?

How many people are there going to be in each world/server/instance?
Each world will host "many thousands" at a time. There is a limit per map in the world, although ANet has offered a specific number. Each World versus World map is going to support up to 300 players

The answer.
 
300 isn't as many as I thought/hoped. With the size of the map it will be pretty easy to wander for miles with no fight. An impressive number but small considering map size.

Yeah I was hoping for more on the WvWvW maps, but we will see how it works, be easier for one guild to make a big difference tho
 
We'll dominate. After swtor I'm sure of that :D

Can you join en masse?

Heh, after being out numbered on niman as Republic but immortals and co still being able to push back, looks like desolation is a sure winner, at least to begin with.

En masse, not sure, last I knew you had to simply teleport or run into the portal, if you're in, you're in. If not, you'll be put in a queue. 100 Per side is really, REALLY low :/


Pretty sure there are a few guilds alone that can field that number themselves, afaik wvwvw doesn't even have an overflow as that'll mess up the actual score system and even then, you'd have to hope the enemy has enough to fill it or boringsvilla ahoy.

I loved this game but these nighles irritate me.

You make a guild to go fight everyone in a big battle.... But the battle is actually rather small and you cannot join together, you have to drop in and pray :rolleyes:

As you said if a guild can deploy getting on to 100 but you can't go in together makes it pointless to an extent. That and prime time will be a ******* mare actually getting into wvw

Yeah a bit of a worry this as I would like to do the same as in swtor, a nightly run in WvWvW, I hope they have thought the mechanics through so we can enter as a guild, be it in 2/3/4 raid groups.

These wont be the only WvW runs we do but they will be the ones people can come to expect.

We still looking to set up a few 5 man teams for structured PvP, have a thread on the immortals site regarding it.

Well I'm hoping you can enter once a raid is formed, I also think the numbers in may end up being a bit more than 300.
 
I hear it's very CPU intensive, will a stock quad Phenom 2 955 be OK for this? I have an ATI 5830, will medium Ok? Also has anyone used a Samsung 830 SSD, If so does it load quickly? Pre ordered Btw :)

Considering the beta servers were all congested due to people logging pretty much all at once in order to take advantage of the little time, I think the server load would be reduced once release and the active login numbers even out a bit. Not only that, but once optimised, I'm sure they'll be able to increase the numbers to a much more reasonable figure.

Here's to hoping anyway!

I think it will be higher numbers just things the Dev's have said, well unless it all just part of the selling.

But I do think we will see quite a bit more in.
 
Just hit 30 points on the HoM. Finally. Although I had initially projected it would take me a few more weeks, so I am rather chuffed. Roll on the 25th!
 
Im really looking forward to this game. However was watching a bunch of video on you tube earlier, and the game/class system looks radically different.

I take it you now longer have a primary and secondary classes?

Yeah, just primary professions now.

The first 5 skills are dependant on what weapon you're wielding and are profession specific, on some classes you can also swap between weapon sets to increase the total number of the first 5 skills available.

The 6th skill is a self heal, there is usually 3 different skills in this slot with different buffs added to the primary heal.

The next 3 skills are utility skills, these are what Guild Wars 1 players would call the normal "pick whatever skill you want" from the skill list.

And the 8th slot is you're elite skill which is either profession or race specific.

There are also traits now instead of the normal attribute points which was used to increase skill effectiveness but do generally the same thing while boosting other stats like health and damage.

Which mini pets did you buy as I have around 8 and none seem to count (all mine I think are from game birthday gifts), I only have 5 hom points :(

Who ever is in charge of the guild. It was said another guild on Desolation was already claiming the name

I am the one of the guild leaders (well the one that really counts ..but don't tell Blounty that :p)

And we will get the name The Immortals on/in GW2, tho TBH, if we did not I would not mind all that much.

For a few years now I being thinking about changing, saw a post funny enough on Guild Wars 2 Guru site by another member of our guild, going on along the lines 'we were the first Immortals now there many but we let our enemies judge us'. That be the rub, when I created this guild (SWG) I never saw another immortal guild, first few started popping up around Everquest, and by the time LoTro/WaR/AoC came around Immortals named guilds were a dime a dozen.

Its why our website is now mmo-guild.co.uk instead on Immortals-guild.co.uk or Immortals-clan.co.uk (both which I own) that if we do rename the guild the web address stays the same.
We do still buy game specific web address i.e gw-mmo.co.uk or ps2-outfit.co.uk, but they all take you to www.mmo-guild.co.uk.

I look at renaming the guild more along the lines of a step in our growing rather than losing something.

:confused: bet you wish you never asked now morning /rant off

Does anyone know if it is ok to buy this game from US Amazon store? I have a gift voucher on my account and would be able to get Guild Wars 2 for about 25 quid, just wanted to know if the key they send me would be ok for me to redeem ? Would it be US specific or anything?

Cheers.
