GW2 unlocks in 7 hours

For people who pre purchased

Cant wait. Ill let you guys know how it is.

hopefully my copy will be arriving soon

Cant wait for this game. Been looking forward to it for a long time.

So is this game actually any good? I couldn't stand GW1, but I've been seeing a lot of hype around 2. Should I get it?

I don't buy mmo's on release, but if it is good you guys can see me on in three months.

I played in the beta, and I think its really good.

Dont base it just off my opinion though.

Ill give an in depth impression tomorrow.

Thanks for the link Sym, I'll check it out.

Plan on getting it on the 28th.

I make it a habit to not pre order shit.

Is it anything like the yucky first guild wars?

Well after skimming through that write-up and watching the video, I think I'll find myself parting with some more money sometime soon... Dammit Sym.

Not really.

Massive over haul in every area.

Sorry haha.

Arty made me buy it, but not sure if I am going to play right away.

Lol, I my pick up my copy tomorrow after I've finished my shift at work.

< has never played an mmorpg

This looks kind of interesting though. I'll look into it more once it comes out.

I'm only getting it because the group is. You guys better lose your jobs because you're playing it so much.

So, what server again? Just making sure.

it actually looks pretty cool,and the only other MMO I ever played is lolrunecraft,and the no fee thing is certainly nice

Im on tarnished coast

Server transfers are free the first week I think so no biggie if we end up on the wrong servers.

Wish I had the money and time to sink into this game

I'm using tip money
Covert digital buy. Wife won't suspect a thing.

Just some eye candy for anyone else waiting until Tuesday to pick this up. That intro sequence was fantastic. Is your character's story actually affected by those background traits you pick during creation? If so, fuck me that is awesome.

Yes they are

Its pretty cool

I LIKE this game alot so far. Dont love it yet...But it has an excellent foundation.

Word, word. I'm seeing a lot of shit that is making me want this game more and more, but there's gotta be negatives. What are some things you don't you like?

Well mainly everything is really vague as far as explaining what to do, but this could be viewed as a good thing.

The crafting is really deep, and Ive yet to find a tutorial on it.

No mounts

My warrior walks really slow lol

Ummmmm thats really it

The positives are vast though

- good to great combat( only played three classes including my beta toon)
- Beautiful graphics for an mmo, hell for any game
- Story is really good. Has a unique story for every class to level 30.
- World is gigantic, and has a ton to explore. Most importantly its fun to explore.
- Dynamic events. Man they are awesome. at least so far.
- The crating( but again Im confused )

Plus much more. Ive been drinking a bit tonight so my brain isnt totally clear haha.

Ive put about 8 hours in so far, and Im really enjoying myself, and thats solo.

To me if you like MMO's you'll like this game, if you don't like MMO;s you might still like this game.

I never fall in love with MMO's right away.

So this is very good to me in my book. I cant come up with many negatives at the moment.

if a bunch of you are getting this I might pick this up...might be cool to play an rpg with you guys. I've never really been sold on mmorpgs...my mindset has always kind of been that rpgs are supposed to be solo deals.

i'll probably pick it up on the 28th too. i have enough money for GW2 and FRAPS in my wallet so my bank account wont hurt that much

wait, do you still get early-access if you preorder it today? its still listed as preorder

edit: i meant pre-purchase, not preorder.

edit2: turns out you do. Guilds Wars 2 here i come

Fuck... I'll see you in a few...

i guess he's going to go Melee... perhaps a warrior or champion.

AWW YEAH!

'Servers - Most MMOs have many servers and create very secluded communities with tons of people you’re very unlikely to ever play with. GW2 is doing things a bit differently by keeping the “Districts” concept from GW1, but this doesn’t mean everything is instanced. In fact it’s the complete opposite, “Worlds” or “Servers” will be entirely persistent as you’d expect from most other MMOs. Where this differs is say you’re on Server A and I’m on Server B, well I can just quickly and painlessly move from my server to yours with a simple click of the UI from within the game. These server transfers are completely FREE, you will pay no real money to do this. There is one small thing that must be noted, in order to prevent people from just switching to the server that wins WvWvW every 2 weeks, you’ll be unable to take part in WvWvW for an unknown amount of time after moving servers.'

looks like we can all play together regardless of what server we initally choose

nice.

OK so .,....SeC guild gonna be made right...also post servers so I know where to go intially

holy shit, rangers can get pet sharks...

lol that rush hour gif.

Also going ot be a Norm or CHarr Engineer....sounds like a plan

i'll be a Sylvari, they have an AWESOME city.

finshed!

wooooooooooooooooooo!

lol I am going to be so far behind....lol but Norm sound cool since later on in levels you can morph into your totem animal....bear form for win

Im a warrior

My server is Tarnished Coast
