are you taking on new people
I'd be interested I like the fact you are interested in the surroundings as much as the mechanics.

id second that tbh, am after a nice small, relaxed guild atm.
What server are you playing on?
The lack of 1st person mode for photos is killing me. Such an amazingly crafted world, and you can't take a pic without your toon stood like a tool in the middle of it
no, what i'm saying is if an overclock is causing stability issues in game then dont do it...
I can easily max the game on 45-50 fps at 1080p with a GTX 560ti, so a 670 will be more than adequate.

Make one that doesn't look like a tool
I usually have mine sitting watching the world.
Good job if you were in Desolation Battlegrounds last night in WvWvW.
We managed to claw it back from the Germans.
It was great fun and finally it seems the server is listening and using common sense. People were actually buying and putting down siege weapons.
Looking forward to more WvW tonight.

Got to level 10 so far myself. The game and world look great but the combat I don't like at all. Plus the skill bar concerns me how small it is. On mobs I'm only using about 3 buttons and 80% of the time I'm spamming number 1. I know I'm not at the higher levels but I don't see things changing. Yesterday I found I could kite 4 high level mobs until I killed them about 3mins later just by using the one skill I had unlocked for short bow. In WoW I would have had no chance unless I crippled and slowed the mobs. No need in GW2 as they will never catch you.

Is it recommended to be a certain level before heading into WvWvW? I'm only lvl 16 but I quite fancy giving it a go tonight but just don't want to be wasting my time getting killed non stop

Sir, I thank you, will be installing that tonight to see how things go
BRING ON THE POWER!!!!
Also try the newer drivers if your not using them already. Another user had the same issue until he changed to 304.79, i find 304.79 faster for GW2 than the new 306 release myself. My 670 is running at 680 speeds and ive had no problems ive hammered the game too.
Classes play very differently and you'll have the other trait bars open shortly too after a few more levels.
Some of the classes I've tried I really didn't click with at all, engineer I'm really struggling with to be honest as I miss my warriors adrenaline bar! Also remember it's not all about button mashing, you need to MOVE in this game and I don't just mean dodging, never fight standing still, which I still see 90% of players doing.
Agreed the game does have it's bugs but it's only just a week old
I've been 80 since saturday and the 70-80 areas and 80 areas have bugs that are stopping me from getting 100% completion. Also, my level 76 quest is bugged and i can't finish the story also.
There is nothing for me to do at the moment that i enjoy.
For me, PvP is unplayable due to the smooth camera and lag also. I also feel there is a total lack of what is actually being done to you in PvP.

oooh good tip, thank you, I am using the lates BETA drivers, will investigate tonight
You can go in at any level as you are bolstered to Level 80.
Yo ushould give it a go, its good fun. At the minute its still a bit of a zerg but slowly things are getting better and tactics are coming into play.
I still don't understand why people rush to the 'endgame' in MMOs...
Well, after five hours of gaming last night, finishing the Charr starter area and moving on the Norn, I managed to scavenge together enough mats to discover a whopping great one leatherworking recipe. As usual, leather drops were appalling, I think I ended up with about 6 squares.
I'm salvaging every single item in my pack that can be salvaged.

Guild Wars 2 status - Monday, September 3

Account Security
Hackers have lists of email addresses and passwords stolen from other games and web sites, and collected through spyware, and are systematically testing Guild Wars 2 looking for matching accounts. To protect yourself, use a strong, unique password for Guild Wars 2 that you've never used anywhere else! Today a Guild Wars related fan site announced that its account database has been breached. That's important but just one of many apparent breaches of other games and web sites that hackers have been collecting email addresses and passwords from. Protect yourself by using a unique password for each game and web site account you care about, and especially be sure to use a unique password for your Guild Wars 2 account.
Customer Support
Our customer support team is prioritizing hacked accounts and other blocking login issues over other types of support requests. If you submit a support ticket for a hacked account, ensure it is properly prioritized by following these instructions. We have now completed prioritized requests submitted prior to Saturday, September 1. If you have an older ticket that has not been completed, that means it's not correctly prioritized. Submit a new ticket using the above instructions, and in the title write, "Hacked Account - Ticket submitted August xx - Ticket number xxxxxx-xxxxxx" (fill in the date and ticket number of your existing ticket), and we will prioritize your existing ticket. In the past 24 hours we helped 2,574 players with hacked accounts and 2,867 players with other blocking login issues get back into the game.
Email Authentication
Once you validate your account email address, we help protect you from attempted account hacking (even if the hacker guesses your password) by sending you an email every time you attempt to login from a new location, asking you to approve or deny the login attempt. Keep in mind, if you receive an email asking you to approve or deny a login attempt and you didn't make that login attempt, that means a hacker knows your password. Change your password immediately. Be sure not to flag an email authentication message as spam; if you do, your email provider may prevent future email authentication messages from reaching you. If email authentication is preventing you from logging in, contact our customer support team following these instructions and we'll disable it for your account.
Reset Password
We will leave "reset password" disabled until further notice. We don't want to allow hackers who compromise an email account to use that email account to steal the associated Guild Wars 2 game account. If you forget your password, please contact customer support.
Network Connectivity Issues
We experienced network connectivity issues today between our North American and European data centers, which caused intermittent errors with login, character creation and deletion, and guild manipulation. These issues should now be resolved.
Parties & Guilds
We've made progress but still have capacity constraints causing issues with party and guild functionality, including symptoms such as party members not appearing on the map, parties not staying together as they travel between maps or into dungeons, and guild manipulation not working. We're working on a fix and will provide a further update tomorrow.
PvP Tournament Rewards
PvP tournament rewards are currently not functioning properly. We're working on a fix and will provide a further update tomorrow.
Trading Post
We've been expanding the Trading Post's capacity to handle the huge volume of requested trades. After our test yesterday, we've been working to resolve some issues reported by players. We expect to have the Trading Post online for all players this evening.
Storyline Steps
In last night's update we fixed blocking issues with the storyline steps "Stealing Secrets" and "A Grisly Shipment". We're preparing to fix issues with "The Battle for Fort Trinity" and "Shell Shock" for tonight's update.
Worlds & Overflow
We're increasing world capacity as necessary to handle all the new players coming into the game. During this initial surge of high concurrency, and especially while most characters are low-level and thus playing in the same starting areas, it's common for players to be directed to overflow servers. To play with a friend on a different overflow server, form a party together, then right-click on the friend's portrait in the party list and click "join". We expect the use of overflow servers to naturally subside as players spread out more through the world.
Forums
Our most important priority at the moment is to ensure that the game runs stably and flawlessly. So as to not create additional demand on our infrastructure and on our programming team, we made the decision not to open the forums until the initial mass influx of players has calmed down a bit.
Reporting exploits
If you discover an emergency game-breaking or economy-breaking bug, do not exploit it, but please notify us immediately at this email address: exploits (at) arena (dot) net. You may also use this email address to report suspected security vulnerabilities. Thank you to everyone who has sent reports. However, note that we cannot respond individually to emails to this address.
Next software updates
We're making non-disruptive changes throughout the day. We'll publish the next back-end server update tonight at midnight Seattle time. The game may be unavailable for approximately 20-60 minutes while we perform this update.

Yeah we are happy to accept new likeminded people, we dont actively recruit, we're not looking to become some huge bloated mass of a guild, more just a bunch of people looking to have some relaxed fun
