Rmember guys those that have pre-purchased we can login 3 days earlier...so i think for us is the midnight of 24th Aug

IMHO there is no faceroll class here, all the class need you to actively move around to dodge and chase people...else you'll get owned pretty fast, even for a high hp or high defensive class like warrior or guardian, if u stand still and cast spells...you gonna die in like a few seconds thanks to ele burst or thief backstab

hmm guardian is much more of a support class than ele, ele has like 2 heals...which heals for peanuts....

1) No SEA server for now, future not sure. No lag noticeable. Made through 2 beta and 2 stress test, still managed to have tons of fun. Ping is around 350-400ms not sure how accurate is this.

2) Yes

everything will be wiped before launch, including which server you play on during BWE

3days advance is already more than enough, I'd pre-purchase this game even without any added bonus because the game is good

Launch day mayhem is to be expected on every new game, or release of new expansion, nothing new.

If you have watched any video on the GW2 features you'd know that in GW2 more people = more fun, event gets more challenging, more mobs will spawn, more exp and loot for everyone

Actually there is tons and tons of video on GW2 already out on youtube made by famous games reviewer. Maybe you should watch a few before giving an opinion on the swarming of starting zone?

yes i was able to dodge properly because the visual queue for the mobs to cast big skill is quite obvious...as for dodging in pvp it's harder...if you are 1v1 then you can do it, if you know ur opponent class well and know what spell they are gonna cast as there are not as much visual queue you will have to predict their spells...if its like 4-5 people fighting nearby it will be very hard as there are shits flying all over....

there is no "end-game" in gw2, even after you reach lvl 80 those mobs in the starter zone can still own you if you don't play properly, unlike other mmo in gw2 you don't have a specific tier armor you wanna aim for once you get it then wait for the next tier...you can go back re-do old dungeon or try new dungeon at lower level area and still find a possible upgrade to your gears....reaching lvl cap means almost nothing in gw2..so there is no rush to reach lvl cap then only start enjoying the game...just play it at your pace and you will still enjoy it as much...

PvP for GW2 is like a whole new universe...your gear in PvE are not link to the gears in PvP world(note this is for sPvP only not WvWvW)

so you will have to play PvP to earn points to buy PvP gears in there..

as for WvWvW you will be using your PvE gears but scaled up to max level stats.

hmm i can't really answer that 1, coz i played elementalist, a caster, but so far i've never heard any of my guild mate complaining about that problem...

oh and probably most melee class will switch to their range weapon if anybody tries to run away XD dual axe + rifle warrior is freaking painful...they charge in burst you down with the dual axe...if you manage to survive..switch to rifle and finish u off...>.<

yup need to pre purchase to get access to the beta, although only 1 beta left before launch

but if you pre purchase you also get 3 days head start...

if SoS is too hard to get in maybe you guys can arrange to play in another server.....

yup you can join tons of guild at the same time...but can only represent one at a time

representing a guild give the guild points when you complete DE's in your PvE area or take over castle/tower in WvWvW, these points can be used by the guild to purchase upgrade like karma point boost or purchase guild bank/ guild vendor etc

1 more thing is you can only chat with the guild you are representing, like if you type /guild you are chatting in the guild you are representing only...

When you think of Queues in the traditional MMO you would just sit there staring at the screen counting down the number which sometime moves up instead of down, but in GW2 Queues means you enter a separate world call "overflow server" where you can do everything you can do on a normal server while waiting to get into the server, whatever you do in the "overflow server" will be there when you are back in the normal server, exp/loot/gold/achivements.. everything

if you are not in a party, you will not even notice when you are transported back to the normal server from the overflow server, it's like magic...only downside is if you are in a party and you somehow dc and ended up in the overflow server you can't see your friends in the same party until you join back the normal server

As for the starting area to be full and crowded, trust me in GW2 you wan the area as populated as possible, mean you are always nearby a player which can and will help you if you accidentally aggro'ed too many mobs, or help you up when you are in the down state. There is no ks-ing in anyway in the game so don't worry about crowded place....

same like D3 battletag, the number is used to identify you in case got similar username

this is not your character name, character name will be chosen when you create character, it's your account name

AHMAIGAWDWTFBBQSAUCEPL0X

the cuteness in the next beta is TOO DAMN HIGH

yes we can play during launch, if you pre purchase you can play 3 days before launch

all connection to US no matter 512mb streamyx or unifi will have latency of around 200-500ms

last beta my latency in GW2 was around 300-400ms

depends on which beta was it.. if BWE1 yes the game is un-optimized, the gw2 dev has made that clear that there will be some fps and lag issue, gw2 saw much improvement but still no full optimization yet...

we are waiting to see how is it in BWE3
