it would be great if they allow us to create characters before the head start, then we can jump in the world straight by then.

Most of the LYN are in Sea of Sorrows. I am at Ehrmy Bay (joined AGGR guild), but will wait for final confirmation...

...maybe go over to Sanctum of Rall, since it was quite empty there?

Not me. It's for those who previously played GW1, and I am not one of them.

We will definitely moving to higher population server than Ehrmy Bay.
I oppose to Sanctum of Rall because it might become a ghost server.

i am asking everyone to please reconsider having sea of sorrows as our home world. It's too overpopulated.

Suggest another server with less population so that everyone can enjoy the game.

If no one is setting one up, i will set up a guild in a medium populated server. something like Isle of Janthir.

Sea of sorrows is just ridiculous.

Yes, it's quite a dilemma. Being in a over populated server like SoS means lagging, spending more time in the overflow but the good thing is Dynamic Events is always going on. But on the other hand being on a less populated server means less/no lag but like cheesinium said, Dynamic Events might not occur that frequent.

Dynamic Events occur more often also no use. Coz u are stuck in overflow server.

Better we roll in a medium populated server. Less lag. easy to login. Maybe not 100% filled all the time, but at least 80% to 85% populated. Still will have Dynamic Events.

There's a risk WvWvW might not be fully occupied. High population server might not have, but need to queue in order to join WvWvW.

Eternal Grove was always and will be our number 1 server (if it comes back).
If not we are forced to push a decision to find another server which caters between the high to medium populated server in terms of a good server community and at least participation in WvWvW (ehmry was terrible, most of the time the people in WvWvW was us and our alliance). That being said our objective was to work with our alliance and getting to know them and have fun in WvWvW, as was for overall PvE and others we'd definitely have be doing those on release.. I can't tahan sticking in WvWvW everyday on release, I would want to troll around in the world, puzzles and.. hey lets do this ! (The Underwater Organ).

That said, we just want our guild and alliance to find a server with great participation , enthusiasm and to make sure that everyone is having fun and having a great gaming experience in guild wars 2. We are just a community of friends, casual and competitive players who just want to have FUN, and having an alliance promotes that. We aren't a competitive hardcore PVP guilds like Ascension Alliance and Titan Alliance and no way can we compete with them. That is why it is important to find which servers fit the right needs for each one of you. Honestly our alliance wants to go to Crystal Desert, but that is only if Ascension Alliance leaves that homeworld (according to freelancer to accomodate all their alliance) as we don't want have a conflict on having problems getting both theirs and our members in the server, we respect them just as titan alliance. So we are only deciding our server the week before release. Right now we're just in discussion with two other guilds (SEA, and EU) on joining our alliance.

During the last event yesterday, a party of us went into an overflow server, we asked what server we were in and they said Crystal Desert (we were from Ehmry Bay), so i'm guess they port you to other servers which have slots available and yeah we saw TL players running around in the event.

that is the awesome thing...you don't even realize when you are in or out of the Overflow server

the only moment u realize is when you are with a party..and some1 DC then he got shifted over to the overflow...but even then your whole party can jz go there and join him

Overflow server + the deposit collectibles feature imo is the two of the few best thing ANet has done for the game

While Amazon has restricted GW2 CE from being send to Malaysia, you can try forward service to get the CE, tho it will of course adds to the shipping/service cost.

There is, just that either you know someone in US or use forwarding service(companies that buy stuff for you in US, when they get your items, they send to you).

I agree with Heaven and others who said to not compare Guild wars 2 and D3, fyi they are two different games with two different goals.

The old Gw1 was designed by some of the old Blizzard staff which worked on Diablo 2, therefore if you said there are similarities. They are only minor...very very minor. Those similarities die out by the release of GW Factions and almost non-existant in Nightfall.

Again the goals by those two games are different. If you wanna compare other MMORPGs to Gw2, that would probably make more sense than that of another type of game.

Anyways, about the Lyn guild. I believe that those who are interested in setting up thier own guild should do so...do not restrict yourself to only 1 community....because the game is about expansion and communities. Meet others around and get to know more about the world of Tyria, rather than just mingling by your own set of friends.

Following this thread since it first post by Heaven, I also notice atleast 90% of you guys haven't played Guild wars before and therefore are very confused about the game. Theres always the FAQ to read, it talks about all the stuff you ask. Why ask here when you can go there (look for it in the first post by Heaven).

Furthermore, if you wanna talk about purchasing a copy. Please don't debate about where you get yours from since I believe (or hope to) that everyone thats in here has a copy ready for launch either physical or digital. It defeats the purpose of having a GW 2 community since we aren't here to debate on Prices.

Lastly, there are those who wish to stay in Sea of Sorrow. I understand why some of you would like to go to other servers, however do not question those who choose to stay (I am one of them) I know I live in Malaysia and therefore I know I'm gonna suffer from lag issues....I don't live under the sea nxt to the USA therefore why should I complain...correct? In that regard, some of you who want to go to smaller servers please do so. THe reason for having many servers is to make players be competitive and observant of thier community (the players in the server). So don't compare on who gets into WvWvW and who doesn't. I can honestly say that subject is completely incoherent, why ? Because you haven't even played THE FINAL PRODUCT.


Lastly, I'll be part of a guild in GW2 called The Exiled Ones. The guild will be build around the idea of community and information exchange. With some PVP and WvWvW action. Main focus will be on PVE stories...we wanna get to the dragon asap.

If anyone is interested, you can go ahead and PM me

I know that, i initially used red as my main colour for my armor but it looked to similar to Blood Legion. In the end i have changed most of it to silver or blue just to make my Char more distinctive.

The dye system is no doubt amazing. And the possibilities to make a great looking armor is pretty much endless.

Did they totally changed the *unique dyes acquisition system*?
In BWE1: hand loot item to NPC in home instance, wait a few hours maybe, go back take dye from NPC
In BWE3: gain bottle loots from monsters, open and gain new dye

Why suddenly become so easy? hmm.gif I prefer the first adventure style though.

It was a beta.

I'll get very worried if everything work properly as expected as it would probably be a commercial "beta" or a demo. At least things broke for a couple of people.

I did have a problem with dynamic events not triggering when im in the area with the whole area only consists of Hearts. Or pretty much empty servers when i was playing due to the login problem.

Kinda sucked, but i think i have made a lot of mistakes during the beta. Should have went with Elementalist, Ranger or Necromancer. Instead of Warrior that gave me a very bad first impression. Adding on with some of the issues, i didnt really enjoy it till the last few hours of Beta where i had some fun in WvWvW and PvE.

I didn't get any spike lag in last beta weekend. Most of time I played in pvp and WvW, I feel smooth even with 400ms latency.

I think the only time I encounter skill takes a few seconds to activate when I press it was when my keyboard was low on batt and I didn't realize it lol

If you are using Windows 7, you can search for Resource Monitor in search bar. Then go to Network -> TCP Connections. Find gw2.exe and look at Latency column, you will see the ping value.

You're not the only one experiencing lag 1-2 second delay when activating skill.Same goes with some fps drop. Thought its my spec problem but many says it was due to server lag. But i never had lag spike or kickout from the server before unless i went afk for few hours.

Quite surprised no one complained the delay between clicking a skill then waiting ~2 second for the skill to activate.

everyone smooth sailing or just expected lag hiccup?

beginning totally no lag at all,
then server down later for new build &
faced this once & i direct off game & reset my IP,
runs very smooth ever after.

most probably is Slowmyx problem hmm.gif

I only noticed about it after read this:

You use dye to make dye with the forge. As far as I am aware that is the only way. I was only allowed to mix dyes with each other, and only common with common (which btw resulted, unsurprisingly, in a commmon).
I used all the doubles I could in the mystic forge. Sometimes they do go up a rank, for example my first four uncommons I put in gave me a rare. However it was not often that they gave me a rarer dye than I put in.

There's also the thing called "Skill animation".

Basically, that is your cast bar in this game. You react by other player's animation and game sound, instead of looking at mods/cast bars.

Played that so long ago don't even remember. What I remember was the... "pile every junk equipment to the NPC and turn them into gem" in Torchlight.
Dammit didn't knew there was such kind of stuff in Lions Arch... I only went there to craft at the craft station only... hmm.gif Combinations of items... This make crafting even more interesting (or predictable after get the idea how it works...).

Quite a lot of stuff to discover. I yet to know what is the actual usage of "Mystic COIN" though. hmm.gif

I think no more seller in the forum selling EU copies, they're pulling back and bringing in NA copies already, unless you're talking about other sellers.
Better buy NA copy since Malaysia is inside NA region, you might not be able to play EU copy from Malaysia unless you're living somewhere in EU region.

You'll need to check with TSB on that, pre-order suppose to get a code for the headstart but it's just 1 day headstart, but that is for official retailer, not sure if that works for local retailer.

Don't really like the gw2 steelseries peripherals, except for the mousepad but then they are all white. I have my g700 mouse to use for gw2 biggrin.gif

Beta is good to get used to the game and try out stuff, so that when release you'll know what you need to do already biggrin.gif

Here's TSB reply for GW2 DVD:
"As there is no regional distributor for this product, we cannot provide any date. We will need to wait for NCsoft to ship it to the US supplier before they can ship it to us. We cannot provide any dates until then."

So... unlikely you'll get it early... hmm.gif

And, I don't like white peripherals.

i think we r in the same boat. but perhaps i was mistaken that i felt like playing alone cuz in this is BWE, lots of ppl are just trying this n dat. So they dont really bother to make game progression and doing coop, let say.

Plus, the beta player is not that too big. Just wait till the game launch. brows.gif

For the love of God, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Don't turn this into a D3 vs GW2 thread, nor don't turn this into "This is the end of D3" thread as well!!

This is a Guild Wars 2 General thread.

EDIT: I don't think one can solo a jumping puzzle, no?

A note the D3 wagon jumpers, if you are weak willed to leave D3, what makes you think you won't do the same for GW2?

There won't be GW2 if not for GW, and you know what?, when GW was released back then, there are exploits(so severe that Anet needs to do a roll back), bugs, skills exploit, PvP imbalance you name it etc, people whine in forums, saying gg GW since no monthly fees, all the gloom doom, guess what? GW is still here and now GW2.

So in short, stop the GW2 vs D3 comparison crap, D3 trashing or what ever.

Best just focus in GW2, make sure to know most of the system if not all... Start READING!! Read, research, construct builds, figure out gold farming method, figure out OP combos.... etc. Hmm, I might want to sell my 2 x 6850 and get something better on single card, who in Kuching wanna deal?? Come come~~ XD

Hmm... So Guild actually give players many buffs... hmm.gif
Architecture — Purchase shared storage and increase the number of upgrades the guild can work on at once.
Art of War — Buffs used in WvW
Economy — Buffs to increase members ability to earn karma, find magic items (!!!), or gather materials.
Politics — Emblems, influence buffs, guild armor (? hmm, hopefully something cool), and party items.

I enjoyed D3 to the point where they activated RMAH, then, things went down hill from then. Everything is designed for the Auction House like extremely low drop rate and a massively randomised loot table so that people will use the Auction House. The entire idea of Auction House defeats the point of playing an ARPG that is all about collecting loot. At the same time, does GW2 focus on loot collection? From what i have played so far, doesnt seem like it as it looks more to explore the world or engage in PvP. If you cant get the item you desire, you can craft it instead. Not sure you can actually buy the top tier weapon from a dealer though.

Adding on, D3 is released with incomplete features. Where is PvP? Why are there so little content? Instead, the whole game is all about playing that 10 hours worth of content again and again with different difficulty.

D3 was never a PvP focused game so whats the point of nerfing items by a large margin? Sure it is to keep the balance in check, but they have to think about the people who actually grind for those items or paid real money for it. Those items essentially become crap after that nerfing.Oh not to forget about the idea of Legendary being absolutely garbage.

The lack of encouragement to explore annoys me too because the world is so static without much randomisation to the point that every playthrough is exactly the same. Sure Skyrim has a limited sized world, but each time you explore the same area, you'll find something intriguing. Even Torchlight 1 that is made in one year with 7 people has way more randomisation than D3.

The thing that annoys me the most is still the the lack of polish of D3. No doubt the art style looked amazing and the gameplay is very solid, however, a lot of things felt that it wasnt thought out properly, like the impact of auction house, lack of inflation control, the lack of longevity and the list goes on. It feels like a lot of the game's design are not thought out properly or in another words, it feels like a potentially delicious half cooked meal.

Guild Wars 2 seems to be the other way round where the way the gameplay works, the way the server systems with overflow servers idea, the technology behind the game or how every mode in the stands out in its own way, it gives me the feeling that Arenanet actually sit down and think about how to make a fun game, not how to make a most profitable game. This is something that Activision or EA will never do.

Still, there are still a couple of stuff that i do not understand or just plain unlucky where i didnt get to experience it, which still put me on the fence.

Hmm, how to put that one... Unless you got so many gold to spent, farming specific loot can be troublesome, logically the higher the rank, the harder to get. In BWE1, drop rate was... awful. In BWE3, it seems I got plenty and sufficient for my crafting. Hopefully it stays that way.

The great function about loot is, the deposit function. But it only allows for raw materials and simple processed items like ingots. Equipments parts, improved enchantment gem however, can't stored with deposit function. I am wondering what are those mini-pets about though.

I read there are about 200 dye colours waiting to be unlocked aside those default colours, sounds like a lot of work to do looting bottles...

Gears in GW2 so for I don't see them as "high levels are overpower". Definitely no. Played till 30+ in BWE1 and see nothing too extraordinary about those gears on the same rank. More to cosmetic likely. To truly empower your gear, you'll need to do some work with those gems. Slotting default gem is a waste, really. Invest in *forgot name* craft skill and you can start upgrade those basic gem, making them even more powerful or have multiple stats on one single gem... Gem acquisition feels rather easy. Note that I did not mentioned "gem stone" as some of them are not actually stones. Several types of gems you gain from chopping trees too... Not sure about farming vegetable though, didn't do that.

And er... I'll say like this lah- MMORPG is a virtual life. We do stuff everyday to support our virtual living, NOT pwn boss and game over. Using Excel is common. Make sure you know how to use Excel... whistling.gif

Think they stated that the gear are only cosmetics, and that their stats are the same at end-level. Granted, there's the stats and runes to consider, but they want to do away with the gear treadmill and focus only on your skill and build. If I am not mistaken, (I didn't play GW1) GW1 follow this convention as well.

But generally, it's mainly for aesthetic and swag factors (not to mention bragging rights, if you completed a dungeon specific set).

Hence, when people asked what's the endgame, there are plenty of answers to that question =P-

Diablo 3 did a lot of things wrong, and i am hoping that GW2 will not be the same as D3.

If you do not compare how are you even gonna judge the strength or weakness of a game, or you are just buying the game because it called Guild Wars 2.

You can compare it to WoW, LOTRO, RAIDERZ, Old Republic, Age of CONAN, PHANTASY STAR ONLINE (the new 1), TERA, FF14, GW (1), Champions Online, DC universe, Rusty Hearts, APB, Rift and many other MMORPGS.

Thier mechnics and gameplays are implemented into Gw2, they basicly copied alot of working mechanics and implemented them into GW 2 for noobs and newbies to overlook and ignore...sometimes even people without brains will argue that GW2 is the best game they ever played with it's dynamic events and shitz....saying it's unique and stuff without trying out other MMOs....But sometimes people become lazy and buy Diablo 3 and start to compare that and this....


My 2 cents: Don't compare, wait till release....play that.......EVERYONE WINS !!!

I think the smart phone apps is suppose to allow access to the trading post, so that it's possible to trade even without login to GW2

from past experience, guild wars franchise business model was always about releasing new campaign almost every 6-12 month... do you thing it is going to be the same for gw2..? how long after the launch date do you think we'll have a new gw2 campaign ?

Oh yes, any MMO veterans will very familiar with most of those systems in GuildWars2.
If I got thing to complaint for real about GW2, it's the SLOW LOADING of the trading post......... It feels like an embedded webpage...  hmm.gif

the loading time for guild wars 2 is not very fast also.

i hope it can be as fast as diablo 3 loading time during launch.

hmmm maybe longer for GW2, since the content does looks larger than GW without it's expansion. I want to have at least time to try out the races and classes that I like. I am curious to know what happen to Canthan and Elona, it was never mention in the novel iinm. So those will be nice expansion biggrin.gif

Anyway, you guys also experienced slow loading time ka?
I thought it was my slow laptop that's giving me probs.

Thinking of getting a new computer. Would an SSD help in improving the load time?

The loading is game loading is fast for me.

However the trading post is slightly laggy, but I tried using VPN to play few days ago for 3 days close beta and its extremely smooth even in WvWvW with hundreds of players compared to without VPN. The skill are instantaneously no delay, thanks to VPN. The VPN is located at US.San Jose.

I pre-purchased the game and already reserved names for my characters smile.gif


My guild wars 2 registered account name is gene.3581 , TS please add me smile.gif... hope we all can enjoy playing together sometime soon, hopefully someone create a Guild and recruit all Malaysian/LYN players biggrin.gif.


BTW anyone know why my time is 10pm but this post show i posted at 11pm? BUG?

I think its about 300ms-350ms without VPN and 150-250ms with VPN, based on my previous gaming experience feeling.

Btw I paid RM258 for Digital Deluxe Version... kinda regret it for paying that much out from sudden surge of desire. Should have pre-order the physical version for RM145, but won't get any pet or skill or hero's band and etc.. tongue.gif. But i'm a fan of Guild Wars 1.... I have to console my self by thinking I supported ArenaNet with more money than others yawn.gif .

I am using WTFast VPN. No way that I know of that can check game latency.

The only way me and my guildies from EU test the respond time is by doing the heart quest in Township of Claypool : Train with the Militia. The shield one do give a good chance to check the respond.
Don't time the shield block, block when he just about to attack you. So far, I still can do at least 3/5 shield blocks. So, that's acceptable.

No choice, guardian and warrior are given good shield counter skill, we have to master it sweat.gif

Actually Rm140 + FREE Poslaju got already ..

Refer to:
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...hl=guild+wars+2

Theres a way to check the ping smile.gif :
Run command prompt and run ping command for [206.127.158.1] and [64.25.39.1] without brackets. These are some of the server IP.

I got the IP by playing the game when close beta and launch command prompt and input these commands netstat -n -p tcp -b | more ...and you get the server IP you are connected to.

Alternatively, you can also find some software that runs on background and trace the server IP you are connected when playing Guild Wars 2... such as this software http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/cports.html .. there are some software that can even trace the server IP and real time ping it for you automatically..but not important la.. since you can ping it your self using command prompt.

Look at the result I get right now. doh.gif Look at the routing and avg latency before reaching Texas, USA. This is not even reach the server yet (which should be higher).
IP gotten from ArenaNet diagnostic utility.

Is it even normal to route to Amsterdam first? shocking.gif

But should be 300-350ms even after reaching server smile.gif .. but still depend .. sometimes route congested get high ping.. I sometimes get 250-350ms from GW1 and sometimes 400-500ms which can't play, but GW2 is faster due to their server optimization + huge capacity + server delegation + temporary overflow server...etc.

Totally agree with their server optimization/routing. It's still way more responsive than some other mmo(s) at same latency. laugh.gif

But, I still remember I was the black cat to my guild in GW1 lol. Specially when i got assigned to be interrupt mesmer/ranger in GvG. sweat.gif After all the explanation, I will have to do the 3,2,1 spikes 1 second earlier than others tongue.gif And the rest of my GvG life became an official flag carrier or bunny thumper warrior. Hahaha.

It was a great time back in GW1. And been great fighting alongside with LaZy.

Right now. The latency there is still ok I guess. Weird thing is no longer have green on Asia servers, did they switch it back to US? (Left US, right EU)

Doesn't matter if you want your own guild or join another guild guys, you can join as many guilds as you like.

I'll be gathering friends from all over the world, so if anyone's interested in playing with a mix of friends from America, Europe and Australia, drop me a holler.

You can opt to represent any one guild and switch anytime, so worry not, you can play with diff friends as needed/wanted.

Great thread, nice to see it going all the way to V2, rclxms.gif .

Anyway, me and my friends decided that we're not playing in Sea of Sorrow. Our group will be active together in Darkhaven (US server). As to those that wants to join us head on over to our group, both Guild Wars 2 and miscellaneous news are posted there aswell to keep all members up to date.

http://www.facebook.com/groups/398367100211477/

We're mostly known as NAGA. Those that plays Sudden Attack or Forsaken World might have heard of us. And we will be an international guild as we want to gain as much advantage as possible over the 24 hour World versus World action.

much has been said in this thread about the GW2 copy whether player in malaysia should get the NA or EU version, and the general suggestion is that they should get the NA version, and still some people want to get the EU version. just take note that you've been advised here.

if later on the launched date you are able to play with it, good for you.
otherwise, if you can't play, good luck with contacting A-Net support.

Hi guys, i just read that prepurchase will get a 3day headstart. does that mean our copy should arrive 3days earlier than release date? I'm quite interested in Guild War, but never played b4.

No you should get a code that allows you to get the 3 days headstart. Though bear in mind this is only for those buying from official retailer or from GW2 website. There's no local official distributor in Msia, so probably no headstart for prepurchase from local retailer.

Depends.

Most of the physical box sellers doesn't guarantee, in some cases upright stated, that you will not get the headstart. And in some cases as well, you will get it later than the release date as well. I might be severely wrong though. (Why do I need to snoop around the trade section, when I already got the game? tongue.gif)

The only sources that I know that will get the headstart is the main website (digital download, you can download now and be done with), and Amazon (Not sure how that one works, but hey, it's Amazon!)

In the end, look around the shops, and ask them directly.

Download at your own convenience and sweet time.

Just

1. don't forget to update it regularly
2. don't worry that you can't break off the download. If you break off the download, yes it will go back to 0%, but the amount of files left to be downloaded decreases and starts off at where you left off. (the progress bar is a function of file left to be downloaded, not the total amount of file)


Yes, no. 2 should be a FAQ trollolololol

after you register your account, can go to the account management page and over there got a link to download the client... you'll need to reserve a space of 25GB for it.... as of now the client size is 15GB, but may grow to 25GB when the game finally released....

you can download it straight away.. if you stop the download, the next time you launch the game, it will resume from where it stopped

Not sure on joining FB page tho, not too keen on managing FB site, not to mention the posts you saw on this thread, hence maybe you can create LYN guild and link it to FB site, I can manage the thread till v4 and hand it over to you.

I rather be playing the game than doing too much site/guild management.

Did you tried it? It doesn't work for me. I think they disabled the latency info in BWE1-2-3. Here's mine in BWE1. No screenshots with -perf in BWE2 and 3.

Yes can, just register Paypal account and link your VISA to the Paypal account, it will charge $5 for verification code and you only get the verification code at the end of the month with your card bill, so I suggest you phone straight to your card's support and ask them to give you the verification code.

The $5 will refund to you when you successfully verified it. Also its easy to buy online stuff now with VISA+Paypal, I don't understand why so many people still look for middle man to help them do online purchase and pay them extra for it when they can do it then self with little effort.



FYI, you get awesome hero's band + 3 days early start + can use your reserved name if you have GW1. If you buy physical version from anyone in Malaysia then you can't get any of it.

Heaven or Jabberwocky I guess for LYN guild. If you consider that a Malaysian guild. Cause there is also Cari forums. Maybe someone can also create Malaysian guild and gather everyone regardless of whatever community medium they are from. And lastly, ZeratoS will be a guild by Malaysian but for everyone from every country.

Not sure, don't think it is fixed date. A little search suggest time adjustment will be done around March (- 1 hour) and November (+ 1 hour) for US.
This system always caused confusion for foreign players... missed event time in game without realizing the time get adjusted on the other half of the earth, etc...

Agree. Don't know if they'll do that again but all BWEs opened earlier than the time stated. At least 1 hour earlier. So keep a good eye on reddit or this thread. Open early better. I know I will take like more than 15 mins creating just my char. Haha.

This system always caused confusion for foreign players... missed event time in game without realizing the time get adjusted on the other half of the earth, etc...

it's a fixed date, usually end oct and march for the switch.
the reason is that they sunset at 4pm during winter, hence they prolong the day time to 5pm. trust me, sky turn dark in the afternoon is really depressing smile.gif

Get the same problem last time when buying GW1, contacted the support and the problem is because my card did not approve the transaction. But it could be different reason for your case.

you should ask Maybank why your purchase keep failing.

Also I think when you making the payment, it have several options for paying...like what card you want to use and pay using paypal balance or paypal with credit card.



Edit: your paypal have balance? I think you should choose to use Credit Card in paypal option when paying.

I have both AUD and USD in my account and my USD is enough to do the purchasing

Wrong Info.

Seller need to get verified.
Buyer DO NOT NEED TO GET VERIFIED.

Purchase again.

Paypal should prompt you to use Balance in your paypal and the remaining balance after purchase, right?

if got error message, PScreen and attach here. i help you.

2 Option for you :

1) Transfer your paypal balance to your maybank ( 72 hours )
Purchase with your Maybank Visa Debit ( if you notice the Visa on your Maybank ATM Card )


2) Transfer your paypal balance to me, i help you purchase. (i think option 1 is far better)

Yup I will choose option 1 also if worse comes to worst, but I dislike the low exchange rate of 2.9 to Maybank. tongue.gif

I hope the GW2 support will reply me. But I do not understand, the last time I purchase 1 account for my friend using my account, it goes smoothly. But now when I want to purchase for my brother, this problem came. Haiz.. cry.gif

I used my paypal balance to pay for my GW2, I think it'll auto use your balance if you have enough USD inside, they will only use CC if you choose so or do not have enough balance.

@mashimoro85 I am not sure about the error that you are getting, you showing the Guild Wars 2 site error, but not the Paypal.

If it's just that you don't want to pay with CC option in Paypal, did you try click the "Change" or "Funding Option" @ the Payment methods step?

I am sure Paypal balance works as I am using it to maintain my Mumble and game servers. Also bought my Guild Wars 2 DDE from partially Paypal Balance(~52 USD) and from my Maybank Visa Electron (~27USD).

Everything is fine when in Paypal.. no errors or anything, but when upon completion.. it cannot go thro (refer to SS). Actually I bought 1 account once using my paypal account for my friend last week. But this week when I try to purchase another one, it cannot go through. I wonder is it 1 paypal account can only purchase 1 GW2 account?

But, I did tried to ask my brother to create his own paypal acc, then I transfered 59.99USD to him and he try to purchase. Alas, still same error.

Using Maxis HOME at the moment, a little worried since I think they throttle peer to peer network.

pre-order ? for pre-order you'll get your game after the launch isn't it..? unless it is amazon pre-order, which i think they will send you the key that you can use to register your account immediately and send you the box later.... if it is local distributor pre-order, i would say after the game launch....

if it is pre-purchase, arenanet will send you the key immediately, and you can use it to register your account ...

EDIT:

for prepurchase, yes you get the 3 days headstart. for pre-order i don't quite sure how it works...

my best translation would be.

"not wait 1 month that time beta got presales full then i no care lu, after amonth then buy can adi"

"not" should be a typo "now" so it's

"For now, we wait for 1 month. Beta(Launch) then will have pre-sales. If it's full then I don't care also, since after a month (released) I still can buy."

But still, there's no coming beta whatsoever in a month's time. It's release already. So the post still makes no sense. He must be getting wrong info or whatever.

Fuh, really need to bring out the typical Chinese inside me to translate this shit. lol.

It's stated in their FAQs that for CE, it will have a pre-order key and another CE key that you will get when the game is release, should be in the CE box. So essentially your pre-order keys works the same as the key you have for pre-purchase, which is most probably why you can't add in your CE pre-order key.

My situation is similar to you except since I ordered my CE from Singapore, I do not have any pre-order key, but I did confirm with GW2 support that we'll be able to add in our CE key on top of the normal edition key when the game released.

Hope that's clear enough smile.gif

Nothing to introduce really. I posted the general gist of the guild in the last thread but the idea is that you'll be playing with people from across the world in a relaxed setting. Many of us are either in University or working so you'll be around people of the same age enjoying the game together. There'll be a separate GvG guild that we'll represent during serious GvG and for the most part, SCAM will be where I'll invest all Influence into to give us access to things like Guild Storage.

Basically play the game your way, have fun, and do it with friends wink.gif

30/50 is easy and can be done within a month playing very casually. tongue.gif I assume you have 30/50 too? The other 20 or GWAMM (God Walking Amongst Mere Mortals, 30 maxed title) do take some grinding and a lot of game gold. Less gold if you keep all the items from holiday events (Which I gave away to others guildies who are title chaser, without knowing about HoM rewards in GW2) sweat.gif

Or perhaps just play in the server and wait for Malaysian players to die out in the server, where it will be less populated again.

you do realize that this game is meant to be played with lots of people, there are some dynamic events which takes over a town that requires 4-5 people to work together to take down the boss to complete the event...

once you get past the starting zone the map is very empty even on a FULL server....if you go to an empty server...good luck doing dynamics event alone...

You mean how most of them PVP fags, modern warfare black ops and team fortress abominable reincarnate?

Don't get me wrong. The three things I pointed out are indeed good, but there are fags in it, simply by judging that based on experience of human behavioural analysis. And it's more than just finding out who are the rage quitters and whiners.

Like you for example, loves gaming, but failed to see how similar are many people in gaming actually act like the very degenerates who look down on those who play games. A lot of these degenerates, rely on two particular traits:

1) A wannabe pro, as in not humble enough to even ask for help or say thank you in games, just like how those virtues are needed in real life.
2) By being non-apologetic about mistakes, these degenerates really think that saying apologizing or admitting one's own mistakes is a sign of weakness, rather than an act of virtue.
3) By failing the top 2 clauses above, most of Malaysian gamers may as well have misconstrued the meaning of gaming by treating the game as an alternative and an easier way to seek glory in comparison to real life, except that they fail when you can see the very same traits and psychological behaviour they practise in real life (including the bad Malaysian habits) whenever they are playing a game. And there are plenty of Singaporeans doing the same as well.

I believe in gaming psychology, and I realized that it is similar to social psychology in many ways, where gaming is merely just another environment one emulate his or her habits (be it good or bad) that is brought from real life, either by the way they behave in games, or by the way how they behave extravagantly and extreme, as if they have found a vent for their frustrations which they can't find in real life.

Gaming projects an existentialism which are suppressed by the distractions and the decisions in reality. It is fantastical and fictatious in nature, but it allows a realization of one's true potential in making life choices, so that if it is practiced healthily, it will bring forth a veracity of an individual which is otherwise invisible in the real world, so that dreams can be finally be ephiphanized, revealed, and made.

You play games. I play games and fight with them. Not by kill-death ratios, high scores, and having the best items.

But by having to understand that gaming must be an absolute parallel universe to real life that humility in games will being you to heights.

And these are dictations and the philosophy that will shut up any wannabe gamers with their iPhones, and those who regard gaming as an entertainment for toddlers, those pre-Information Age bast*rds.

And stop saying the usual phrase, "I am still learning". You are not. If you are, the first thing you will do is apologize, and change. Not by deflecting your mistakes with an excuse by claiming that you could have been a pro given that you have enough time to play the game.

Yes, and switch it anytime for a fee without losing experiences.

"Although a character can only have two disciplines active at a time, they can pay a master craftsman to switch, at cost of 10 bronze coin/Level in the target discipline. Taking on a new discipline is always free, while switching back to a maxed discipline (at Level 400) costs 40 silver coin. "

Lol. How is "local community" an exception to the announcement? Which fact did you have in your second year work?

I'm trying it on all disciplines first. Need to understand the entire concept. Thank the developers for the experience which you'll gain anyway.

Hmm, getting to 200+ is really fast... As long as you get the idea how things work out. Not really willing to pay for those switching cost, hmm, maybe it just me being poor (crafting can cost a lot sometime... especially when lacking materials in desperate time).

But for my playthrough I'll surely go for sawing first- as I play elementalist, need to craft those unique armours myself. Then, probably making accessories (include gemstones thing)... Or making staff? Maybe I take 3 then... Hmm.......... Edit: Oh wait, why not just use alt (alternate character) to save cost (no need pay switch fee). The bank is shared across multiple characters anyway. sweat.gif

Unlike other MMO that stuck with super slow craft levelling (for example: 0.5 year to max one skill), GW2 is... CRAZY FAST... sweat.gif I enjoy that.

The only time I went and try crafting, i got not enough mat to make anything haha, so I just give up and do DE and stuff lol. I guess when I start playing at launch I should really go and collect as much as mat as I can while exploring, chop some trees, mine some ores and stuff.

It's a good thing to learn about this right before launch tongue.gif So it's still not too late ^^. All craft trainers sell those tools smile.gif

So start game first thing to do is get enough money to get salvage kit and trainer tools. I keep seeing trees, ores etc but didn't buy any tools to chop/mine them.

Yeah all trainers sell those tools, and the bank tab in crafting station makes thing so much more convenient. I remember in GW I always have to double check the amount of mat needed, then go to my chest to take them out, only then can go to crafter to craft armor.

Logically would be better to just stick to the cheapest one most of the time unless want to salvage anything above GREEN rank.

[Artificer, Chef, Huntsman, Jeweler, Weaponsmith]

It is said Chef is the most expensive craft to pursue due to ingredients found across the world as said by one of the devs.

For me my warrior was holding an axe and I was standing next to a tree, my first though was, why can't I chop it with my axe lol. Yeah I was wondering where to get the tools as well until I found one of the crafting trainer that sells them.

8 Crafting Discipline to choose from.

[Armorsmith, Leatherworker, Tailor] depending on your class, imo for convenience sake.
[Artificer, Chef, Huntsman, Jeweler, Weaponsmith]

It is said Chef is the most expensive craft to pursue due to ingredients found across the world as said by one of the devs.

Armorsmith and weaponsmith should suits my warrior well biggrin.gif

Also the karma points needed for some chef ingredient. What I don't like about cooking is that you will need a lot of space to store the extra mats like...ermm.. pie crisp? Need a lot of calculation before-hand or lots of bank tab upgrade tongue.gif I kinda gave up @ 57 due to bad inventory and bank space management doh.gif

I am going for Armorsmith/Weaponsmith, if I am going Guardian, or Leatherworking/Weaponsmith, if I am going Ranger, or Tailoring/Artificier, if I am going Mesmer... Maybe level Jeweler (and for Ranger, Huntsmen) on the sides, just for the kicks and accesorries..

ye, I haven't decided my class T_T

For me it's always warrior first, but quite hard to choose what class my 2nd char will be, I tried engineer, guardian, elemetalist and ranger and found all of them fun.

thinking of getting Guild Wars Platinum Edition for $19.99 which include full access to Guild Wars + Eyes of North and get HOM points to 30 or more biggrin.gif... but I think cannot find party to do many quest sad.gif... the game is almost empty !!.



The HOM points reward items are purely aesthetics only... but still looks cool and tempting biggrin.gif....and probably will see thousands of players wear the same HOM thing and won't be exclusive anymore ..lol. !!

Where did you copy paste that from? I don't believe you are smart enough to type that out on your own. Judging from your trolling in GW1 thread http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/321043/+2160 I think it's best if you stick to yourself.

50% Karma for 1 hour?

My thoughts on this is - do all the Hearts up to 95%, then buy it, use it, then jump around the world and max out all the Hearts in 1 shot. Whaddya think?

doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif ... potential exploit. Well, it's for PvE stuff anyway, not hurting other people. But after all Heart event will decrease as levels go up, and more rely on dynamic events. So it pretty much just sort of a small guidance for people who prefer a little direction, or a tad of tutorial system to teach new players to this whole new questing systems.

Note that those boosters gained through event rewards or whatever completion reward chests too. And those boosters in cash shop are just among a few of them, there are plenty of other that only gain trough whatever boxes/chests. Well, doesn't matter anyway, PvE here is not competitive.

My American friend read this, and was offended by the streotype. No biggie though. It's not that he's using a booster, and neither should anyone else, lest destroying the experience of gaming.

The new China-Great-Wall-of-TEXTS... tongue.gif Glad most of us had hands-on experience in BWEs.

It's good sign anyway, shows that the game is FULL of contents.

QUOTE
Divinity's Reach is the capital of Kryta and home for the humans. Members of all races of humanity live here, some of whom have been exiled or are unable to return to their homelands. Built on Divinity Coast, in the province of Shaemoor, it is described as "a breathtaking monument of white parapets and high, pale towers". The royal family and Senators rule from here. It became the capital when the surfacing of Orr flooded Lion's Arch, the previous capital. It has become the bastion to human civilization and culture and is defended by the Seraph.

The city itself is made of heavy stone and mortar contrasting with the wilderness that surrounds the city. It was built with a large underground crypt, which are lined with bones of dead humans and contains the tomb of Blimm. The crypts are accessed via the Skull Gate and requires paperwork to access legally.


Huh? A... tomb? Where exactly is that? hmm.gif I would loves to explore the stuff beneath the city if it is available.
Human, mysterious even to their own kind. hmm.gif

That crafting guide is quite a read. Thanks for that bro.

Anyhoo, just a quick question. Say that SoS will be full prior to the official launching date. Will the creation of a new character (new account to be played on launc day) be blocked/denied on that server indefinitely or will it, sometime later, be opened again for admission? Was thinking to buy another copy, this time, a physical copy for my brother to play. Still can't let go the feeling to own a physical copy eventhough I bought the digital copy lol

When you already done a heart, it is stays done. You can not redo it, iirc. So actually, you need to plan where you wanna go to maximise your 1 hour of 50% karma boosting. So I don't quite get your strategy.

And IIRC, when you reached higher level, you'll already be swimming in karma points. no source though, and unconfirmed (since, ye... you don't have higher level content in beta trollololol)

You do all the Hearts until 95% (not completed yet) , then you use the Boost and run to each Heart and complete it.

It's 75 gems. Depending on what the Gem to Gold exchange ratio is at launch, it might be worthwhile to invest in some Gems. The exchange rate should increase once everyone reaches 80.

Maybe we should. It's such a major hit and this thread just can't take everything people have to discuss/ask.

Hmm... crossfire seems to be working? If it did works on release then I have no need to sell my 2x6850 hmm.gif hmm.gif
(those stats on top left of the screen suggest it not really working fine, though)



Sigh, with all else nothing to worry about, the only thing to scratch-head is hardware compatible, performance issue, blah blah blah. 1 month, logically how many stuff they can fix. It's hard to say not worry at all... sad.gif

I'm sure they'll work out some SLi/Xfire profiles for the game later on. It would suck if it's not. I'm in the same boat as you lol And I sure hope they really work this out sweat.gif

well, if you want to wait until the server populations settle, then it's a better move.

Hi guys, I'm quite interested in Guild Wars 2 but I have never play Guild Wars before, consider kind of fresh in this game. Since it is releasing on 28-8-2012, here's my few questions on this pre-release game.

Does it support SLI graphic rendering? Has Nvidia created a SLI profile for this game?
What is the current status? Any beta or anyone playing version?
Will everything wipe off and start from scratch on the first day of launch?
What is the file size of the game, approximately. Need to consider whether to get digital copy or slow-DVD-copy-delivery from TSB.
Which server to join and server location, latency?

I personally don't like a game that grind much, such as Diablo 3, that game is way too short and every day are playing the same quest and map. However I am not very sure about Guild War play style, I heard my friend say when it comes to the real "guild war" it will be server VS server, is that true?

1) Not too sure yet about that. The last few betas were reported to have yet to fully utilize GPU graphics but it seems that it'll be fully optimized for the official launch.
2) The last beta ended on the 22nd June. No more betas until the official launch at 28th August.
3) Yes, everyone starts from scratch.
4) Roughly about 15GB?
5) Most of the LYN kaki here joining Sea of Sorrows but it's known to be quite full of players and thus, a bit laggy for some. Do refer to the first page of this thread.

Yes. World vs World.

Honestly speaking, since you asked, Diablo 3 is quite crap in comparison to Guild Wars 2. Terrible story line and very boring gameplay. I found it meaningless to continue playing and therefore quit before even reach level 10.

And last but not least, please watch this video to get you interested in Guild Wars 2:

1) Not sure
2) There are only Beta weekends and close beta. But they've all ended. Last was on July 20th-22nd. You can always watch youtube videos by gamer communities like IGN, Yogscast, gwbnc, etc. Those videos really help and always check wiki or reddit /r/guildwars2.
3) Start from scratch. Pre-purchased will get you 3 days headstart that's all. Everyone else start at 28th. Headstart or not, you start from scratch.
4) 15GB as of now (BWE3) official FAQ about requirements say to leave 25GB out. I'm guessing the game will be around 20GB or less.
5) Currently we (LYN & Friends) are sticking to the unofficial Oceanic/SEA server which is Sea of Sorrows. Server locations are all at US unless you join an EU server. Latency is US latency. I had pretty good latency even for a 1Mb line during BWE3 except for second night where the server has issue and even US players delay 9 seconds or so. US games usually have like 200-300 Latency but you wont feel the delay. But you feel it in SEA servers even if it's 60ms. Quality control. If you can afford, a proxy will always help in WvW and PvP.

D3 is a different game genre. So let's not compare here. Since because someone compared and caused havoc. But let's compare it to other MMORPGs that you need to grind.

No, this game does not require you to grind. You can either WvW (Server v Server), Craft, or PvE to level up 1-80. You can always have Fun PvPs too and Structured PvPs. Lv1-40 could be a little slow but I heard that lv40-80 is really fast. GW2 does not want the players to feel hard trying to level up. Instead they want players to get to lv80 fast (since there's not much progression on gears) then start wrecking havoc at world events or bosses. So from what I read, lv40-80 whatever you do gives you tons of EXP. I may be wrong but that's really something isn't it?

The only advice for you is, don't play it like how you would play other MMORPGs. There are no ! or ? on top of their heads to make you expect quests so talk to every NPC you can find. They trigger Dynamic Events. If anything close, the "Heart Events" in this game would be the "Quest" you follow as you explore. Bear in mind that lv1-20 is going to be a lil bit boring. As you unlock all weapon skill sets early and Utility Skills do not unlock that fast. But bear with the game till lv20. And learn to dodge always. Because level20 onward, the game gets a lil more challenging. And this game is different, the class you would play in every other MMO, MIGHT NOT be the class you should look for in this game. By any chance, try a new char if you feel boring.

The real "Guild Wars" if you look at the name, suggest much on Server vs Server. However, as a PvE-er I'd say rest assured. You can expect dragons and dungeon bosses that are challenging. But ANet did not really show any end game material yet. So either it's surprisingly good or it's gonna be a tad bit disappointed. Still I'm confident to say you wont regret buying this game. If you're a PvP guy, this is definitely a correct game for you. And WvW? is WAR.

TL;DR : No grind, different than other MMORPGs, PvE and WvW are both going to be awesome.

Welcome to the hype.

emm... i have the feeling that they should not use "Guild Wars 2" for the game name... rather, it should be Guild Wars : War of the World or something like that.. then again, they probably don't want people to be confused with the original Guild Wars game... smile.gif

oh i often see TL;DR but don't know what actually it referring to ? what is it aahh ?

Lol it's not THAT focused on WvW la. ANet once said they invested equally on PvE and PvP. So as a PvE-er that's great news. But I've tried the PvP and this is one of the few games I'll actually participate in a PvP/WvW.

TL;DR is Too Long Didn't Read. Usually use to summarized long contents for people on the interwebs who does not want to read thoroughly.

Sometime can't help but feel that character levelling in GW2 is not that important... since PvP don't affected by it at all, and...:

The sidekick system will allow players to explore contents of all races the way it meant to be played, no more high level players abuse low level contents... Which is total of 5 races to explore... That's quite a lot to do actually. For a person playing 2 or 3 hours per day, that might take a really long time trying to complete every single map.

lv80 armor + accessories, and you can buy/upgrade with PvP points. I'm not quite sure though, did not test PvP out thoroughly. Bad in PvP.

For SPVP suppose the equipments will be totally different & saperated from PvE. You spent glory points to upgrade them (not sure, ask Deimos... where he went these few days no see him spam this thread tongue.gif)

For WvW you bring your PvE gears but they all scaled up to max, how it work... I don't know. Will there be different among blue-ranked and green-ranked gears? I don't know... :S

sPVP, armor no stats, you slot in set of runes/sigil to get stats. Everyone have access to the same runes/sigils.

WvW you wear your normal PVE gear, stats boost up to level 80 base stats. If you're level 80 and you lvl80 gear, your gear will be more powerful than non80 that got boosted. But everyone at level 80 will have roughly the same stats as well.

Boosted Level 80 < Level 80

I think.

I read that lv80 have advantage due to them having more skills to use. while boosted one retain the skills they got at their level but only the stats are boosted.

Digital. But if you can manage to wait. Retail copies are fine too. Personal preference. And retail is just like RM10 cheaper. But you get a box so it's a plus.

All classes can heal, and all classes have skills that can heal others as well.

they still have other skills that differentiate them from each other, why would all classes be the same just because they all can heal.

Currently trying The Secret World after giving up D3. Might try GW2 if is as good as the "old" WOW. Hopefully latency is not an issue in GW2. Otherwise, get pwned big time due to bad latency (200-300ms)

blink.gif You really need to check a few pages back for all the articles shared. We can't explain everything in 1 post. It will be too massive. But short answer, professions are unique. As for the heal, you can only choose 1 heal skill in your slot 6. I would suggest you start with this one http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Combat right now. tongue.gif

Nope. As much as i hate to say, it is debatable that there is still a tankier class or a better healer than the rest. Take for example, a guardian is tankier if you choose to go full tank than a warrior that goes full tank. This is because of the traits. But a guardian with full DPS cannot outmatch a warrior with full DPS because of utility skills and boons. But it's not THAT obvious. A warrior can still wield a shield and be the tank of the party. But then again, You utility skills are mostly for attacks, so using a warrior to tank is somewhat waste if you dont deal damage at all. As for healing. A water attunement elementalist and a guardian can have more healing skills than others. Reason being Guardian is really a support class more than a damage output class. But i've build some burning guardian and PvP guardian which also work pretty well. But support wise, guardian really shine. There are different still. Just not as obvious as every class has 6 as their Healing skill. and you can build around supporting. Question is, how good can you build one if your traits are mostly dmg dealing?

watching the videos of the game features that I've never seen before in my life and saw yogscast on world vs world, I'm SOLD! But that will have to wait for the game to release first.

no such thing in gw2.
you are referring to "the holy trinity" tanker dps healer.
gw2 strives to break that mold.
in gw2, think of it like tf2, with swords and sorcery.

not necessarily.
what good is healing if you are already dead before you can heal?

however, good guardian build means no matter how good your dps is you cannot kill the guardian quickly also.
some dps builds rely on killing their targets quickly. if they fail to kill their target within those few seconds it is over for them.
i.e. glass cannon thief

and it was tested that 2 guardians can take on 5 people. cross reviving one another.
one down, one guardian rushes it, shields push people who are attempting to finish the downed guardian away.
the guardian proceeds to revive the downed guardian.
they try to finish off the downed guardian again.
downed guardian pushes enemies away.
downed guardian is revived and back on his / her feet.
