I'm going to try and reinstall GW tonight (Had to reformat when I installed an SSD recently). Send me an invite, and I'll help you run through the rest of the quests.


Awesome. I ran into some of the latter Nightfall quests today. Too frustrating haha.

Same here, hence the PvP focus, but I do want to go through it, if only for the story. And with some overpowered heroes, it shouldn't be too bad.

Also, I'm assuming no one has received a beta invite?

I want to get into this game so badly, but I don't think my laptop can handle it. And if I read up on it and start watching videos I'll irresponsibly spend money on a new desktop.

Got this this morning

quote:

In just over 48 hours, 1 million players signed up for a chance to participate in upcoming Guild Wars 2 beta events. Although we wish we could invite everyone who signed up to playtest the beta, we do have a limited number of slots available for each event and not everyone will be able to play. We know you're very eager for us to send out beta invitations, and we will be sending these confirmations out shortly.

In the meantime, we've prepared a little thank you for all those who applied - a brand new video that features never-before-seen in-game footage.

Just head over to the Guild Wars 2 Facebook page and "Like" us to watch the video! Thanks for your support, and we'll see you in game!

Yeah just got that email too. So the wait officially begins now. Ha.

And it seems they are having "beta events" rather than a continuous events. I dislike having to dedicate a whole weekend if I want to get in on a beta. That's a drag.

Nice.


Im reminded (now that I've started playing again) how hard / expensive it is to get hom unlocks.

What I currently need to reach my goal of 20:

1 rare miniature = 80 plat
Nightfall armor and Luxon / Kurzik armor = 200 plat + 1-2 weeks of rep grinding now that im not in a guild.

I can also substitue in:

2-3 more companion statues = Need to cap emperial pheonix and black widow or run my nightfall heros through a dungeon to get armor pieces

Not to mention the destroyer or oppressor weapons that go for about 80-500 plat

Yeah it's a bit ridiculous. I've toned down my expectations.

So you don't need any more commons? I have about 6 duplicates.

Too much grinding really in the end. I mean, I'm at 9 points and still need to beat all the campaigns, so 20 may be the tops for me.

I can defintely use more commons, im close to 20, just not sure how close after the 6 I added last night.

I want 20 purely for the black moa ranger pet. Ive used it for years on mine, so it would be nice to have on the next one. However, if there is going to be a way to get a black moa in GW2, then ima say fuk it, and play bf3 instead

I realized that I already beat prophecies. I had a friend run me (literally) through all the main missions. I can put a running spec together and run you through to all the main cities

It just depends. I think you could reserve TOR like 6 months out if I remember correctly.

But given how things are speeding up, I think a June-July release is most likely.

So I just realized last night that a guy I know from WoW has played GW before, not only that, but hes 50/50 in HOM. Litterally all the titles, statues, legendary weapons...everything. Gonna start running with him to get some titles knocked out, you should join us. Add me - Artemis Xylon.

ETA: Im 1 mini pets away from 20. Gonna try to get the black moa chick from the quest line. Ever heard of it?

If you're going to help run me, then I can give you one just so you hit 20.

Yeah, I've read about it. Was going to wait until I do the whole Dungeon that way you get both statues. Need to grab the book first though. But it's a solid point by itself, so I need it.

It's all random. There is also another hero in the 4th round.

Probably not tonight for me, but a little tomorrow and probably tomorrow night.

Man I wish I could bring my HOM over...I had at one time 800+ ecto and 100+ black dye, because I kept going over in the money, and it didn't make sense for me to build a HOM so I stopped.

Unfortunately, my account was set up opening day on a work email account. I no longer have access to that email and GW won't switch the email on my account because I don't have the original POP. So it's all lost and I stopped playing 2 years ago because of it.

I will buy GW2...even if I don't play it(time), just as a thanks for the memories from GW1.

Wow. Sorry to hear that man, that's a terrible situation. But I know the feeling, same thing happened to me with my EQ account.
