Take up a crafting profession or two. Gear doesn't offer gamebreaking or power creep statistics in Arenanets games.

Visual differences will come much later in the game when you can start obtaining dungeon / elite armour.

I think I have to make another mention of how much I love my £40 Gigabyte mouse for this game after reaching level 10 and getting two utility slots.

Click down the scroll wheel, glyph of elemental harmony.
Click the scroll wheel to the left, glyph of lesser elements
Click the scroll wheel to the right, glyph of storms.

And later on the two thumb buttons for skills 9 and 10.

Its got all the same specifications and features as the Razer naga mice, but with ordinary buttons on an ordinary looking mouse :)

The lesser summons are actually very useful and add a lot of damage and distraction for a decent time, and the storms glyph is a super powerful burst of huge AoE.

how does the dark shroud work exactly? When it fills up do I just press 6 once or do i press 6 twice for a heal? Ive not sussed it out yet.

Most weapons will have an ability that adds to your Dark Shroud Bar (Life force or something like that). You can press F1 whenever you like to go into Shroud form. Obviously the more Life Force you save up the longer you can stay in that form.
Whilst in Shroud Form your HP cannot be touched. Your Life Force bar will gradually drop and each time your hit it will drop even more until empty and you return to your normal form.

Shroud has four abilities tied to buttons 1-4.
1- Basic spam attack, hit it once and let it auto attack.
2- Fire off a hand and if it hits something you will warp into melee with that enemy.
3 - Cast Horror on targetted enemy.
4 - Syphon life from all nearby enemies and increase your Shroud bar.

I normally hit shroud when the bar is full as it's a waste otherwise and if there's mulitple enemies press 2 then 4. It's lovely. :)

Edit - And now im in game again :D

Well there you have it then, Arenanet: don't give us keybind functionalities that every MMO since EQ2's era has had, expect us all to go buy gaming mice, instead.
 
Ordered myself a sidewinder X4 keyboard as well, I've had enough of my £5 pc world keyboard now that I was using since my saitek broke.
 
update from the GW2 devs

Okay, time for another update. This one is for those of you getting an Error 9 code:

We’ve narrowed down the issues and wanted to shed some light on the situation. You are receiving the error code (9:4:5:1093:101) because your account does not have access to the Beta Weekend Event. There are two possible reasons for this:

1) The first possibility is that you registered a Pre-Order serial code instead of a Pre-Purchase serial code. This means the Pre-Order serial code that you registered will give you 1-day Headstart Access before Guild Wars 2 launches, but will not provide you access to the Beta Weekend Events. Some retailers apparently are selling Pre-Orders as if they were Pre-Purchases, which is unintended. This error will not prevent you from receiving your boxed version of Guild Wars 2 when the game releases.

However, those of you that have already registered your Pre-Order serial code and received an email invite from Arenanet to join the Beta Weekend Event, we will honor the invitation. Receiving the invitation was a mistake on our part and you will be able to log in shortly. Note that no further Pre-Order serial codes can be registered at this time.

If you paid in full and received a Pre-Order serial code by mistake, please contact your retailer to have this serial code converted to a Pre-Purchase serial code. If you did not pay for the game in full, you may contact your retailer to have your Pre-Order converted to a Pre-Purchase when you pay for the game in full.

Currently, GameStop still has Pre-Purchase serial codes available. If you purchased from GameStop and paid in full but received a Pre-Order serial code from them, please contact GameStop to have your Pre-Order converted to a Pre-Purchase. If you did not pay in full and you have a Pre-Order serial code, you can also contact GameStop to have your Pre-Order converted to a Pre-Purchase.

2) The second possibility is that the Pre-Purchase serial code you bought was blocked for credit-card fraud. A very small number of users may have purchased codes from unauthorized resellers who are selling codes they obtained illegally. Please confirm that the retailer you purchased from is on our authorized list of retailers. If you did not purchase your serial code from one of our authorized retailers, please contact the retailer from whom you made the purchase and request a refund.

And what exactly is constantly whining about the same thing over and over again on OCUK going to accomplish?

We get the message, you hate the game. Stop playing it and go back to WoW then.

If you want anything to possibly be done with your whining, post it on either the official or GW2guru forums. I seriously doubt that Arenanet developers are reading this thread.
 
Hiya, can someone re-invite me back to the guild please? i accidentally left! :(

my game name is Canon.

edit: i cannot login to one of my characters that i got logged out before when i was in a battleground world v world game.

had a cracking hour of PvP (not WvWvW)

Used my ranger character and after I found I could swap skills about it was just too damn addictive!

Had many 1v1's and most of them were very close battles with wins and losses, but I will say having a pet when your both downed is a major advantage :p

The game is really growing on me...
