SO is this weekend a beta and if so is it open to public? I can't find mention of it on GW2 website.

Thanks

I played warrior last night and got to level 9. I had a blast playing. It appears that your skills level with you and there is no training required. I usually roll a caster but warrior may be how I begin the game.

A question about events. I noticed that I earned a level of contribution for each event I participated in. Are there going to be rewards given at the end of each event depending on the level of contribution? Will these points accrue and I'll be able to buy gear with them?

It was a very enjoyable 4 hours last night except for the constant rubber banding. I haven't experienced that effect since SWG.

A 4 hour daily stress test would be welcome.

Yes. There are random rewards and differing objective amounts. Sometimes it feels nice to jump in on the end of an event and get a bronze medal. Check your mail for monetary rewards as well.

The end of an "Event Chain" usually has a much nicer reward. Those are few and far between in the early zones, but I think each zone has one. Charr has Fire Shaman and Humans have the Shadow Behemoth. Fun stuff.

Events and Renown Hearts both earn you Karma. There are Karma vendors everywhere that sell varying levels of gear.

You can acquire the Thackerey armor (I forgot the knights name) at the Karma vendor in Divinity's Reach for Karma.

Usually the Renown Heart NPC is a Karma vendor.

I'm compiling a spreadsheet that will be uploaded as a google doc. Everyone who has signed up to play and is interested in joining Ole War Skule, please post your in-game handle, including the 4-digit code at the end. This will facilitate contacting each other at launch.

I already have Freauxzen's. I need one for everyone else.

Ahh, it feels good to be a bureaucrat.

Thanks, guys. I'll wait a while for other people to provide their information and then post the rough draft. If anyone has a problem with it being a public google document viewable by anyone who clicks the link, let me know.

I had a lot of fun with my elementalist. The quest lines on here are epic. I might try warrior before the release if there is another stress test. Divinity's Reach is HUGE. This game will be AMAZING. Erection [ON] Off

I have been wanting to try ele but haven't been able to play enough in the BWE's. Warrior is pretty fun, just have to find the weapons you like. I tried swapping between greatsword and dual axes in the little time I played. Off-hand axe gives you a spinning AOE that is pretty good and gives you a hell of a lot of adrenaline.
