Ah ok

not a problem with zavvi, they have been updating your accounts with the order since the 9th and those emails get sent out automatically if something doesn't ship within a week, which is today.

there is no problem with your orders, log in and look at your outstanding orders there should be a guild wars 2 costing £0.00 currently processing, they recently added that to your orders 09/08/2012 and it will come when it's ready, hopefully by the 24th

Hopefully they send it on release day or soon after cuase after first week of release you need to input a retail code into your account to keep it active otherwise goodbye account.not sure if they just close it or delete it?.

Does anyone know if this game is better on AMD or Nvdiia cards? Getting a new card any day now and Guild Wars 2 will be my main game.

With a 7970 I've got all on max now including the crippling supersampling at 2560x1600 vsynced at 60fps pretty much everywhere. It's like someone greased the pivot the camera is on and it rotates like butter now.

I think I've pretty much narrowed it down to Necromancer or Ranger, quite excited for this now considering I only really looked at it a few days ago

Have a look here for all things Immortal. This a biggish GW2 guild with OcUK people in but not solely.

Wab may post more info but that is the main site.

Everytime i try and pick a class im going to roll. Im seeing the Elementalist. Everytime, anyone played a lot of this?

Shamikebab · 17 Aug 2012 at 09:03

I would play elementalist but I'm put off by the fact it seems to be the most popular from polls I've seen, I tend to try and choose classes that are less popular.

Newbie007 · 17 Aug 2012 at 09:07

In a traditional MMO I would have agreed with those saying a particular class being overplayed, but this isn't a traditional MMO so I don't think it matters.
When you see videos of a dungeon run with the make up of the group being 4 of one class and a.n.other I think that speaks volumes

JoeF1 · 17 Aug 2012 at 09:07

Oh really ? Yeah was for me the guardian or ele. Everygame i played if been a debuff / pet dude so im kinda put of by the mesner and hunter.

Does anybody know if you pre-order the game from OcUK or GMG if you receive the key for the 1 day headstart straight away so that you can download the client?

Logsi · 17 Aug 2012 at 09:34

I'm not sure now. When I pre-purchased from GMG I was under the impression I got 3 day headstart but looking on the website now I'm not so sure;

http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/gb/en/pc-dvd/games/mmos/guild-wars-2/

The price is £32.99 instead of the £49.99 (£37 with discount code) I paid. Hmmm...bit confused now.

gmg you should but nothing stops you downloading the client without buying anything

Just torrent the downloader.

Clicked the read more on your link and saw this..

Please Note: 3 day early access is not included with this product!

Now you can be sure you do not get the headstart :-)

Sorry

GMG did have the pre purchase version of the game for sale. It is no longer for sale. If you bought the pre-purchase version you should already have your code from them... do you have your code?

DanTheMan · 17 Aug 2012 at 09:39

GMG isn't very clear. I don't really care about the 3 day headstart as I will be busy at the weekend, however I wouldn't mind playing from the Monday instead of the Tuesday.
