they require quite a bit of commitment on ur traits to be good besides taking up ur utility slots... overall i actually prefer ranger's pet especially with the instant pet swap while keeping all 3 of ur utility slot...
the best spirit weapon is definitely the hammer for the knock down
Knock back for spirit hammer 3rd chain skill, and knock down (command)
Hey, just bought the game a few hours ago. Count me into the list too!

Still haven't decide which server I'll roll into when the game goes live this coming 25th. Client installed and updated. Let's see how the latency goes on a TIME Fibre broadband later.
Tried to find the sweet spot for my GPU this morning. Need to sacrifice a lot for a constant 60+
Lower Setting.

85-100 FPS While moving in cities. 55-70 FPS with casual PvE (5-6 players) 45-5X FPS in high pop with intense battle.
Higher Setting.

52-65 FPS While moving in cities (Notes for LA :There's an small area south of center Mystic forge did drop to ~46) 36-44 FPS in mid intense zerg in sPvP (Bad teams just won't split up ) Could be around 28-40 in WvW zerg ( Didn't try this setting in WvW )
Seems to be optimized better. Still remember having lowest FPS of ~22 in huge WvW battles in BWE1. 13 days for more optimization before game go live, and more after launch!
Overflow server is indeed a new world to temporary hold players that is unable to get in the zone of their selected server. I can confirm this, that's how I played with my friends in EU world back in BWE3.
This thread sure is low without the stress test or BWE...
Perhaps we are just preparing for the launch. Hang out with friends, family, boss, football buddies etc etc. As we are going to ... (Quote my friend from Drachten, Dutch):
Farewell social-life, friends, work and responsibilities for my spirit will depart to another world on August 25th!
hmm, after I update I got this error. Not sure if I could play the game smoothly or not after the game have been launched. Anyone here using Geforce 560 ti OC?
Is there anyone else out there having this warning message?

so i can join LYN guild but still fighting against them on WvWvW if i'm on another server right?
RvR = Realm vs Realm? The similarity in GW2 would be WvWvW then
Yes, you only fight for your home server. If come one day, the WvWvW system match your home server against LYN's home server, you will fight them. If that will make you feel bad, then focus on the 3rd world

Hi all I just joined the bandwagon & bought the game D
Pls add me to the list: reenee.8724
Haven't tried the game yet though...
Welcome to the community! Do read the first page for information to get you started.
-- I will go with whatever you guys decided as well. Currently kinda occupied with main guild and alliance too. But hey, there's so many cool, friendly people here! I may just join it to socialize, do some dungeon, messing around and have a lot of fun time together with you guys.
Can't believe I saw my name up there. I'm best in screwing up stuff only I'll remain skeptical for now, new servers? Selected servers? fill in the blank, you can refer this if your English vocabulary is as sux as mine: http://www.crosswordsolver.org/definition/V/
Can't be sure. ANET can be tricky with their words. But from my understanding, it's much like the one in BWE1? Grace period for us to transfer for free (in a time frame) so that the chaos of server full, technical issues (can't talk about it due to NDA), split from friends etc be minimize. But please, don't take my words for it
For the v part, way off-topic, so gonna hide it

Reminded me of someone who was really good with the v-vocabulary!
""Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant and vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition! The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V"

I miss one thing in GW1. People tend to be creative and fun. Even guild names! Do note tho, some of these guilds are famous GvG/tournament champion.
