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

luckily i got a few cheap games from lord gaben during steam sale...can fill my time till gw2 launch LOL

now I'm paranoid if i miss a vista in AC:II thx to GW2

some high level sPvP very interesting to watch how they communicate called out targets and enemy movements...

i think the long loading time we facing is thx to tmnuts...coz i've watch other live stream..they load into maps in an instant i'd say around 10-15sec only

how long did it took you to get 30/50

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...

are you referring to sPvP like the one video a few post above this post? sPvP happen in another "world" called The Mist. Nothing you have in the PvE or "normal" world will carry through there, and vice versa

the reward of sPvP is glory points, you can use those points to purchase better equips/weapons that will be only use-able in The Mist. Once you leave The Mist you can't equip those equipment or weapons anymore but they will still stay in your bag.

That is why inside The Mist there is also a separate storage space for you to store all your gears before you leave.

On the other hand in WvWvW the reward is several type of buff for all the players in the winning server. Buff like increase exp gain, drop rate, crafting rate etc etc only by a minimal amount like 5-10%, that is provided your server is dominating people a lot. If it is a balance matched, you are more likely to see 2-3% on each type of buff.

No gear buying for WvWvW only you can loot token from players you killed and use those token to buy siege weapons.

digital edition, digital deluxe edition and collectors edition all got 3-days head start

movement is only by WASD key but there is a run toggle button, hit that and your char will keep running at any direction your char is facing, use mouse to change direction

yeah mine Unifi at KL also route through Amsterdam and London which is very bad...i'm considering getting a VPN service...for sPvP

it might not be the actual server we gonna play in but that IP is the in the general area of ANet server, so when you are playing the actual game that will be your ping more or less...

for me i'm more concern about the routing path rather then just the ping alone
