Guild Wars 2

[Purse]

Can't wait to try some sPVP. Definitely dig the auto-80 and access to all gear, really lets people jump in and get a feel for all classes in max level PVP (sorta like PTR I guess).



I ended up rolling a Guardian in PVE, so far it's been faceroll... tanking 3 mobs no problem. Loving it.

Still waiting for digital sales to be back up... Any idea of when theyll be done fixing their overpopulated servers? -.-

Yeah I tried that, all either sold out or wanted me to download some other app to download GW2 : / Would run out to a store to buy it but unfortunately no release in sight here.

Did you sign up for email notification? I imagine they will not open any new servers--or digital sales--unless there is a visible demand. If I was in their shoes, I wouldn't do anything more until MoP releases.

Newegg claims to have physical copies in stock.

Did you sign up for email notification?

Yep. But then again I signed up to be on the newsletter before release and they never sent me anything

They've already started adding new servers to cope with demand.

3 New NA servers added : Guildwars2

Starting to get a bit ridiculous... I mean at least let me buy it and download it so Im ready to play whenever the servers are working fine -.-

They also increased the population limits on all servers. Gogo make chars on Darkhaven or transfer ^^

For the people that cannot buy the game and want to download it while they wait for digital sales to be back up. It seems legit since its the real guild wars launcher download, but I cant be 100% sure it will not cause any problems. I am downloading it right now and everything seems fine tho.

I got a call in skype last night from Shft, and remembered that I haven't checked in on the F2P community.

GW2 is fun. Refreshingly fun. I'm betting this is the game that usurps the crown.

sPvP tournaments with the F2P crew. Let's get on it.

How is Guild Wars 2 pvp panning out ?
From the couple of videos I watched my worry was when a group of players start brawling it out, there would be way too many spell effects on screen to be able to make out anything.

This is true; it's a bit confusing. The more I've played the better I understand the spells on screen but at first it is a bit daunting. It's no different than WoW pvp in that regard though, except that the animations are often more dramatic and involve more area of effect.

But really, after all of my years playing WoW I know exactly what a frostbolt casting animation looks like. GW2 is similar - it just takes time to learn all of the different spells.
