Games Guild Wars 2

BWE#2 worked perfectly for me running i5 2500k & GTX 560ti, much better than 1, neither really gave me any problems with framerate, even in the heavy WvW bits

Hope your server gets pitched against Magus Falls server in the next beta weekend, would be good to go against some old skool daoc players

I think we have been matched up with Underworld both in the first and the second beta. But would be nice to play some WvW against someone else, seeing that the servers we have already played against go no sort of organised alliances.

Just tell your friends to sign up and make a application thread, this way the rest of the guys will know who you are from the start.

Application thread... that's so 2001...


Anyway for those that missed the Sylvari character creation video (since it was taken down from youtube).. here's a version posted on some chinese video site

Easy way to get a quick overview of a player before letting them into the guild

 

[Poag]

Should interview, or alternativly, you take them into a BF3 game and see how they get on shooting tanks from moving VDVs.

If they crack up and start laughing when they take out a tank...alright by me! (this is our preferred method of winning Caspian Conquest, two jeeps, one driver (ammo) one engie rocket, other jeep a medic and a engie again. Crates on the jeeps, muahaha.

Hehe yeah, I could find some wierd and fun ways to get to know people! A interview sounds like a good idea, so everyone now has to send me their personal CV!

They look amazingly variable.

Hehe, yeah. Not many days left before you can test our some of the professions in the BWE! Looking forward for the BWE myself, and afterwards we will gather up for a guildmeeting so we know what sort of role people aim for in the guild! (professions, crafting, PvE/WvW/sPvP etc).

I was going to make a whole new thread for this but I figured those who might need it can find it here easy enough.

http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/1058358-Guild-Wars-2-Mass-info-for-the-uninitiated-READ-ME!

It's a massive post about anything and everything in GW2 from classes to maps, guilds and combat mechanics and god knows what else.

If your new to GW2 or need more info, I would check this out !

1 thing I didn't realise since I've been solo in BWE events is,

Guild Armorer Contract​

Allows guild members to purchase armor items that display the guild emblem. Vendors are available in major cities. (Requires Politics - Emblem Template)

As I didnt see any cloaks in the game I thought thats pretty good you can still "represent" your guild in some form other than just a Tag next to your name.

Guild Wars 2 at Tesco £34.97 OR £29.72 with code 15OFF25 .

Yeah got one for my chest piece! But seeing that there is a slot for the cloak, you should be able to get that later on

Can any race be any class? Can't find where it says otherwise.

Yes, as far as I know they can

I wouldn't be surprised if some of the other retailers are buying off Tesco at that price.

 

[Fefner]

Yes they can and each race and class are the same, there are no bonus for being a Charr warrior or a human warrior, it's all about what you want to play. The only difference are the racial elite skills.

 

[Kjel]

Those only factor in for PvE and WvW. In sPvP everyone's on equal footing.

Do some compliment certain classes better than others or is it pretty random?

You can read about all the elite skills, both profession and race wise: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Elite_skill

 

[Kjel]

Most races have a really useful skill or two. Charr have "Battle Roar" which is one of the better shouts available in the game, Asura summon golems and drop down weird fields, Sylvari... well I have no idea what the Sylvari racials do, Norn turn into giant were-creatures (choose from bear/wolf/leopard/raven), Humans do things that involve their gods.
A partial list can be found on the wiki: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/List_of_asura_racial_skills <-- just click which race interests you at the bottom. Currently the only complete lists we have are human, norn, and charr.

 

[Soazak]

Only difference is Racials and the look really. 'hit boxes' are the same regardless so it's not like daoc with Keens being hard to target for some ppl...Asura would not be any harder to click on than a Norn.

Racials can't be used in PvP either.

Dev chat on this stream tlking about some features and content, I found vid starts at 4 mins in or so and sound gets better after 1-2 mins after that.

A level 80 zone called Orr or something sounds good from it, aswell as other things.

Legendary weapons sounds cool to

I'll be playing, but not beta. I wonder if they're going to keep the beta server names or shuffle it so that it's a nightmare to coordinate which server to pick.
