Guild Wars 2

If you haven't, you need to drop what you're doing and go play around with cooking in this game -- it's the most hardcore, awesomely addictive thing ever :D

Hats off to whoever the hell designed this profession.
 
I fixed my crappy FPS teamspeaks overlay was bugging the water and spell effects as soon as I realised that and turned it on my fps shot right up.

maybe fraps fps overlay can do the same aswell ive not tested it

No more than rip off BT infinity :)

What server is everyone playing on btw?

Hehe, my BT Infinity is okay because BT was my only option at previous address and I'm still in contract, they upgraded me to BT Infinity 70MB/20MB for free because it was available at new address, I find it quite pricey but can't complain it's been very reliable.

Also my FPS is 29-30 on max with a 7970 is that normal? Or is it my Q6600 having to work the game and losing bandwidth for the GPU?
 
Anyone kind of disappointed at Gw2? Been playing nearly all day and nothing really entertained me to the extent that say WoW/CoD/BF does. The movement system is really non-fluid which makes it hard as 40% of your abilities are for use on a specific area. I played all classes and still didn't find one that suited me. I don't like the way many different classes can fulfil the same role e.g. Warrior/Thief/Ranger using bows. They are too inter-twined for my liking. Thoughts @ the other people who've been playing?

I have a VERY nice connection :P

Steams sales are particularly fun :) And no, I don't live on or near a uni. This is a normal residence :)

Completely ignoring the question/issue and just using it an excuse to wave your connection e-peen. Nice.
 
You played all classes and you decided on which one you like? You don't even unlock the last 2 abilities until level 20/30....
 
Auch well, heading to Fissure of Woe until space opens up on Desolation.

I assume that even though it's showing as full for new players, those of you who are already on there aren't having to queue to get back in?

Played each character to about level 6. I spent most of the time in the premade arenas (boosted to 80 so yes all abilities are in use) as I like to see what type of endgame awaits for me with each character. And still no buzz off them. elementalist was the most fun, but I still have the complaint with the lack of fluency the game provides.

Most fun I've had in an MMO since WoW, and that wasn't when I started playing it, WoW wasn't really fun when you first player just really immersive, this is actually great to jump into max level PvP, all these vista things to go see, dynamic quests which are the same as normal ones really except lots of people involved and you dont go pick up and drop them off.

It's fresh, it's great.

Everything handles fine compared to every MMO I've played, if you want bad handling try original GW.

The camera settings in this game are terrible. It makes the movement and combat feel quite clunky - especially if you're playing a movement intensive class like Thief. I made several reports and suggestions about it in the Beta, but they didn't really change a thing. It's a real drawback imo :/

For now I'm using this - pretty brainless right mouse toggle sticky setup.
Still not ideal, it makes going into menus a pain but at least I can mouselook now. Targeting is also screwed up.

This is my only problem at the moment, the camera movement and targeting. If I don't select a targt powers can miss completely, and you can't just mouse over a target to select it - have to click on the damn thing. Not very fluid, makes playing the thief quite a pain.

I don't want to drag another game into the discussion, but for all its problems at least mass effect managed to get a decent power targeting solution right.

I guess, I just felt bored quite a lot of the time tho. The main questline I thought drags on a bit. I also think that they overdid the whole 'transform into this and bring these things there' like turning into a snow leopard ect. I've come across about 5 of these quests so far.
All being said, I LOVE the random occurrences and the way everyone around just jumps into the fray to stop these random attackers ect. Really enjoyed that aspect at least!
I guess it could be down to me being solo (all my mates weren't bothered pre-ordering Gw2 so no head start. Hopefully my opinion will change shortly!

p.s The origional Gw1 movement system was the bomb! ;) all those click and moves, WOAH, exciting.
 
Anyone have any luck with the Hall of Monuments Portal Stone? I haven't got it :/

Edit:

For those players that have linked their Guild Wars accounts and do not see a Portal Stone in their inventory, please try the following to obtain a Portal Stone:

1) In Lion's Arch, head northwest into Hooligan’s Route.
2) At the Undermarket Point of Interest, find the charr karma merchant named Scornheart.
3) View Scornheart’s offerings and, on the second panel, select the Hall of Monuments Portal Stone. The stone is available at no cost.
4) Use the Portal Stone to access the ruins of the Hall of Monuments.

To get to lions arch fast go on your pvp tab and click be in the mists, there is an azura gate there to go to lions arch. Once there just head to hooligans route and the char is in there
