Title: Test Times Post by: kildorn on June 21, 2012, 11:01:06 AM Generic Thread!
http://www.arena.net/blog/help-us-stress-our-servers-on-june-27 New stress test coming up, during an odd time window that likely won't be of any use to US players: Wednesday, June 27th, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. PDT (GMT-7) Title: Re: Test Times Post by: Sky on June 21, 2012, 11:08:57 AM :headscratch:
Title: Re: Test Times Post by: Segoris on June 21, 2012, 12:32:12 PM Euro stress test #2. I'll be at work during that time, making me :sad_panda:
Title: Re: Test Times Post by: Nebu on June 25, 2012, 07:40:54 PM Isn't that when the Spain v Portugal match is?
Title: Re: Test Times Post by: Crumbs on June 26, 2012, 07:38:01 AM Avoid stress whenever possible, I always say!
:rimshot: Title: Re: Test Times Post by: Tmon on June 27, 2012, 10:37:36 AM well it seems to be working, just got booted and can't reconnect.
Title: Re: Test Times Post by: Dark_MadMax on June 27, 2012, 03:06:21 PM Damn that test was so short! Played spvp all stress test - all research paid off , my condition build thief was pwning faces left and right. Too bad test is over :(

http://www.theverge.com/gaming/2012/7/9/3146360/guild-wars-2-final-beta-event-coming-july-20th-features-asura-and Asura! Sylvari! I have no idea what those words mean! Title: Re: Test Times Post by: kildorn on July 13, 2012, 10:32:06 AM Creepy insane techno-magi and plant-elves, respectively.
Title: Re: Test Times Post by: 01101010 on July 13, 2012, 10:53:32 AM Asura - the only reason I thought about beta...
Title: Re: Test Times Post by: Tmon on July 16, 2012, 12:16:35 PM More info on the upcoming weekend http://www.arena.net/blog/whats-new-in-the-final-guild-wars-2-beta-weekend-event
Some of the notable stuff. A new PVP map with powerful NPCs that can be killed for points The sentry, A new objective type in WvW The Gem store will be live and Gems can be purchased with a CC or Paypal, what you buy will be wiped but the gems you buy will be credited to your account when the game goes live. Title: Re: Test Times Post by: Segoris on July 16, 2012, 12:28:04 PM Also all beta character from last beta are wiped (except friends list)
Quote Before this final Beta Weekend Event (and before Guild Wars 2 launches on August 28) we’ll delete all existing beta information. Every beta character and all information or items associated with them will be deleted. However, we will be preserving your beta account’s contact list so you can easily connect with your fellow beta gamers during Headstart Access or after launch. Title: Re: Test Times Post by: 01101010 on July 16, 2012, 12:40:18 PM Quote Get Ready to Keg Brawl! Introducing the first minigame activity playable in a beta weekend—the wildly popular, incredibly macho norn pastime known as Keg Brawl! Activities like Keg Brawl are fun minigames that are available in many Tyrian cities. In the great norn settlement of Hoelbrak, players can speak to the Brewer NPC in the northwest corner to begin the game. In Keg Brawl, two teams attempt to score points by toting a full keg of ale across an icy lake and turning it in to the Ale Collector that belongs to their team. Participants are free to tackle, pummel, kick, and otherwise rough up competing players in order to seize control of the keg. Keg Brawl—you’ll never look at a keg of ale the same way again! :awesome_for_real: Title: Re: Test Times Post by: tazelbain on July 16, 2012, 12:50:02 PM I think I am going to move the guild to Blazeridge Mountains so everyone in f13 can join and not get locked out like last time. These guys got trounced in BWE1, so I figure that they aren't very popular. Any other ideas?
EDIT: Guild wipe is confirmed. We can pick a new server. Title: Re: Test Times Post by: Dark_MadMax on July 18, 2012, 03:53:04 AM Also all beta character from last beta are wiped (except friends list) Meh... Planned some WvWvW but with the wipe - not gonna waste my time leveling character (you need at least a few weapons and skills ,which is lvl 10 or so). All sPvP for me then. I kinda decided that thief will be my main - UP or not , he is just way way too fun. Warrior will be probably my backup in case thief turns out to be too UP for spvp. So I gonna try out ranger and ele -learn your enemy :) Title: Re: Test Times Post by: tazelbain on July 18, 2012, 07:39:26 AM Probably going to level a Staff Elementalist to get Windborne Speed then head out to WvW and alternate with sPvP for the rest of weekend. Don't want to spoil the PvE game anymore than I already have.
Crosses figure that we could get a guild group going that evening. Title: Re: Test Times Post by: Chimpy on July 18, 2012, 07:42:47 AM Question: will I need to redownload the entire new build or will the stress test build it had me download update?
Title: Re: Test Times Post by: tazelbain on July 18, 2012, 07:47:49 AM No reason to reload. They even said the current build will be used for live.
Edit: Also don't freak out if the client returns strange errors while beta isn't running. Some people have ended up redownload the whole thing for no reason because of them. Title: Re: Test Times Post by: tazelbain on July 18, 2012, 11:17:20 AM Okay, so new blog post says they deleted a bunch of servers including Blazeridge and beefed up the remaining. So we are sticking to Fort Aspenwood since it appears all servers are going to be packed regardless.
Title: Re: Test Times Post by: Chimpy on July 19, 2012, 04:06:43 PM It had me download a several gig update last night so hopefully I won't need to reinstall.
Title: Re: Test Times Post by: KallDrexx on July 20, 2012, 05:14:27 AM What time do the servers usually open up
Title: Re: Test Times Post by: Numtini on July 20, 2012, 05:54:17 AM Noon PST I think.
Title: Re: Test Times Post by: Der Helm on July 20, 2012, 09:09:24 AM 3 hours from now, right ? :grin:
Title: Re: Test Times Post by: Furiously on July 20, 2012, 10:29:50 AM Last time they opened hour or so early. So start checking soon.
Title: Re: Test Times Post by: ffc on July 20, 2012, 10:31:21 AM Game is live!
Title: Re: Test Times Post by: tazelbain on July 20, 2012, 10:57:45 AM Bat Country is created.
Title: Re: Test Times Post by: ffc on July 20, 2012, 11:27:48 AM Just got booted. No lag for the crowded Asura event area which was quite impressive.
I made a warrior but I'm going to switch to a ranged character, playing melee was too confusing with all the effects in my face. I was also actually downed during the first big fight. Title: Re: Test Times Post by: Threash on July 20, 2012, 12:25:51 PM Warriors are ranged characters, just grab a rifle. They own.
Title: Re: Test Times Post by: Zetor on July 20, 2012, 01:04:45 PM After being exposed to Asura animations, I can't play any other race anymore. :awesome_for_real:
Title: Re: Test Times Post by: tazelbain on July 20, 2012, 01:06:25 PM After you get an invite to the guild or make a new char, you have to represent to actually be in it.
Title: Re: Test Times Post by: Hawkbit on July 20, 2012, 01:07:04 PM I think I'm a bad person because I actually liked the Sylvari intro and aesthetics. Someone shoot me, because that can't be cool.
Title: Re: Test Times Post by: Threash on July 20, 2012, 01:07:25 PM After being exposed to Asura animations, I can't play any other race anymore. :awesome_for_real: Man the asura dodge animation is the greatest thing ever. Title: Re: Test Times Post by: Rasix on July 20, 2012, 01:14:28 PM So, is preordering pretty much the only way to get into the beta right now?
Title: Re: Test Times Post by: Segoris on July 20, 2012, 01:58:51 PM I know it's a shitty suggestion, but you could always try the begging thread
http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/43601-last-chance-begging-for-beta-keys-thread/page__st__150__p__1617368#entry1617368 Title: Re: Test Times Post by: Tyrnan on July 20, 2012, 02:32:32 PM After being exposed to Asura animations, I can't play any other race anymore. :awesome_for_real: An Asura staff Guardian using the Empower skill is awesome! :awesome_for_real: Title: Re: Test Times Post by: Lantyssa on July 20, 2012, 08:02:17 PM I think I'm a bad person because I actually liked the Sylvari intro and aesthetics. Someone shoot me, because that can't be cool. It's totally cool. Or you've adapted to the West Coast quickly.Title: Re: Test Times Post by: ffc on July 21, 2012, 11:07:21 AM Warriors are ranged characters, just grab a rifle. They own. Bought a rifle and found a bow, wow. I don't understand how a Warrior can be good at both melee and range and be tanky nor do I care. This is great. Title: Re: Test Times Post by: Secundo on July 21, 2012, 02:32:04 PM Warriors are ranged characters, just grab a rifle. They own. Bought a rifle and found a bow, wow. I don't understand how a Warrior can be good at both melee and range and be tanky nor do I care. This is great. Enjoy while it last.. this should be the realm of thieves..(except the tanky bit) Title: Re: Test Times Post by: Threash on July 21, 2012, 02:37:03 PM Yeah i've been playing a warrior in pvp today and holy shit is this stuff broken. Take a great sword and an immobilize skill and pretty much one shot squishies with 100 blades.
