*whoooshhh*



The price difference according to Google is:

89.95 Australian dollars = 282.643785 Malaysian ringgits

59.99 U.S. dollars = 183.779379 Malaysian ringgits

then again... I am just assuming the price in the .au is the AUD price eheh.

well, I am on a laptop bought from germany. so price is in pound (49.99) when I go to the site with FF, but in euro (and german language) when I go to the site with IE.

Gonna try with the laptop from work, see if it's USD aahahha.



Have to worry, unfortunately.

DOUSHIO?!!

(still at work, will order later when the server load is better lols)

It will start back from 0%, but number of downloaded files decreases.

Also, there are some tweets from the GW2 twitter flying around that this client is NOT the real client. The real client will be send to the email later.


Cross your finger, knock on wood that they are just distracting us to be honest.

It is about time, actually. Some people don't have the luxury of unifi or the highest streamyx speed, and they are eager for the download to finish before the first beta event in 10 days. If the real client is released 1-2 days before and we can't patch it, you can say we are royally f***ed.

Hence my last statement



a.k.a just download and pray

First off, I don't play GW1. Second, I don't play in Beta, so take everything with a grain of salt.

Thirdly, my MMO experience is mostly WoW. I tried a bit of Rappelz (F2P, but B2W) but got sick of the endless grind and exponential levelling. That being said, I watched plenty of videos about this on youtube and read plenty of articles and following all the hype around it. I like what I see so far.



Actually, there are no dueling, iirc. Not sure if they want to implement duel, but all of the videos I see have no world PvP. There are no factions in GW2 to warrant a World PvP. Just 5 races banding together trying to save the World (...of Warcraft).

For PvP junkies however, there's structured PvP (comparable to WoW Battlegrounds?) and World vs World vs World. The former is a team-based event, the latter is an all out siege battle between servers



It is something called Dynamic Events. In a sense, when you approached an area, you will be notified that there's something happening in that area and you got a quest for it. Your objective is to fill up the bar by doing whatever that is needed. It can be "Repel the invaders", "Milk the cows", "Gather a bit of this", "Gather a bit of that", "Escort me!". What makes it interesting, however, are the following:

1) The quest can ask you to do a combination of above. It is up to you, what you want to do. It can be "Help the farmer by milking the cows and putting out the fires from his hay while defending his farm from centaurs". You can do any of the things needed (milk the cows? put out fires? defend against the zerg?) and still contribute to filling out that bar.

2) World moves without you. You don't wanna help? That farmer doesn't really care, but his farm is going to be taken over by the centaurs. The next time you pass through, the event can be "Hey, help me retake my farm!!"

Try youtube some of the latest Yogscast (uploaded by BlueXephos) and/or Totalbiscuit videos. They usually are funny, but very informative and honest with what they are commenting about.



No idea. Not enough information.



Dungeons needs 5 man, but you can solo through most events. However, GW2 main selling point is how suddenly a bunch of players work together without forming a formal group and try to complete an event. Taking the above example: You are fighting for your live to defend against a zerg when suddenly another guy pops up and help you clear out the zerg, while another passing soul starts milking the cow and putting out fires. You are working together, without shouting "INVITE!!", and when it is finished, everyone is credited according to their contribution, and everyone just go off to pursue their adventures. There is no Killsteal, no tagging, everyone can whack a mob and still got exp/loot.



No idea. There's gold, gems, karma, glory... too much to get my head around until I played it.



I like to immersed in my game. While WoW have plenty of lore, it's the endgame that counts (basically, where the story really climaxes) in that one. Being in a raiding guild, we need to get to max level ASAP (unless you are a social member), hit the (heroic) dungeons and gear up for the first tier of raiding.

So far, from the videos and articles I read, I like what GW2 is offering. You can take your time in this, without much pressure, and with no real endgame (well, the fight against Zhaitan is the climax in the story). The lore seems nice, dynamic events are very interesting, gameplay can be hectic, and the "No holy trinity!" system put a bit more emphasis on teamwork and skill, rather than your role.

Like I say above, watch some youtube videos. Particularly, the latest from Yogscast and Totalbiscuit (I like their commentary style)

judging from the reactions who got in "accidentally" into the stress test, it's what they expect it to be and a bit more. (at least, from what I read at /vg/)



Not sure, I will be a casual though. 1 level per day seems okay for a target (if the levelling curve is as it was advertised, that is). By the way, did they announce any server names?

Pity, my mate somehow forgot to pay the net bills. Can't download the stuff on a mobile broadband that is nearing it's limit now ahahahaha... sighhh...

CLIENT DOWNLOADAN
WAITING FOR BETAN

stuff like that

Our main source of electricity is hydro and not coal/nuclear, so we are saving the world (of warcraft!!)

/troll

EDIT: ops, according to wikipedia, it seems we are on oil/gas more than hydro, trollolololol. or is it thermal, wikipedia entry is confusing

If I am not mistaken, guardian is the hardest to kill with all the support skills it has.

forgot where I read it though

well, I am going from a necro to a ranger to a mentalist to a mesmer as what I am going to play first.

...at least it WILL be a salad though.

I don't think there is an endgame. Your endgame is when you complete your personal story, and that's it.

There are 8 dungeons though, with 4 ways of playing it. 1 is story mode (easy mode) and 3 exploration mode (hard mode, doable only if you complete the story mode). And even if you are at max level, every time you are doing the low-level dungeons, you will be kicked back to the level appropriate to that dungeon (like Ascalonian Catacombs - Story Mode is level 30, Exploration Mode is level 35 iirc)

Wouldn't be that much. Only thing new is a launcher, Lion's Arch, maybe a few new skills redesign---

No Salad or Asura.

The new stuffs are the launcher, Lion's Arch, maybe skill updates and whatsnot.

Sylvari and Asura are still not ready for testing.

any penangites playing this, I wonder_

email received, can't play this weekend ahahaha.
