Guild Wars 2

For some reason my edit post function has stopped working.The life in this sentence - With GW this updating is always life, like file cloud is actually *live.Silly me.

My post was confusing, should have made that clear.

Point I would like to make.In a game like GW and GW2 betas help a lot more than in other games.Let me explain.Take Call of Duty or Battlefield or any other game of the same formula, they have a beta test, work like mad men to get a day 1 patch out.And after that you only get patches at intervals.Fixing bugs etc.With GW this updating is always life, like file cloud.See a problem,fix it and roll it out.You are busy adventuring in a dungeon and wouldn't even notice something changing in a town or getting fixed.

Yes you get patches from time to time that require a restart, but I would prefer those to these 4gb patches we have every day.With A-net's system the updates are already streaming live, even the beta is streaming constantly.And the nice part about doing it properly like they are.Unlike other devs who hold open betas the month before the game releases, A-net is doing it far ahead of time, giving them time to fix things.No release date yet, meaning no items have been shipped, no copies produced.

Like I said before.No need to worry.

And the LFG thingy, doubt it will be much of a hassle.A-net wants you in groups, from what I have seen then encourage it more than the solo play by far, even if you are not in a group you are still fighting with other people in a group.Confusing but I like it.Feels more alive somehow.

Dude, as much as I enjoy reading your posts, a space after every punctuation mark would make it a lot easier on the eyes. Just a suggestion. :)
 
I forget it sometimes and my space bar on this Arvo keyboard is a bit dodgey. Works if you press it on the one side but not the middle. Edit it for me next time :P
 
I would looooove beta access but I also want hard format DVDs and booklets. Also I only have 1mbs connection so the initial download may take ages. I might need a 3 day head start just to download! :-/ there's no official release date yet right?
 
Is there any news about beta to live distribution? I mean, if you have the beta client will you be able to play when it goes live or will you have to download the whole thing again? The reason I ask is I probably will go the digital route and will have to beg someone for a client ;-P.

A friend is offering to buy it for me, he lives in the UK and we have had issues before with him trying to buy me games using his CC from the UK.

Jy kan jouself beter laat voel met die feit dat ek het die client op 99% gehad en toe fail hy of iets nou moet ek oor dl.
 
I played a bit of GW1 at my friends place, it was awesome .. but it would have been lekker to complete the game .. hopefully I can get a copy of the game before the end of March
 
This is so sad. My friend got into the beta and has been downloading the game client since Tuesday morning 24/7.

His client download got stuck on 99% and crashed. Now it tells him a serious error has occurred and he needs to redownload it.

Is there anyone in Cape Town that either has a linespeed that can download a 11GB client in 24 hours, or that has it downloaded already that he can come pick it up from? He is offering R100.00
 
Same happened to me. So im busy re-downloading.

The beta key is pointless if i dont have the client so no stabbing yet. But as soon as im in ill post some screenshots then the stabbing can start.
 
Fridge, you aware of the NDA?Posting screenies, even telling us you got in is asking for horrible shit.

Are you allowed to post screenshots or even talk about the beta? What did the NDA stipulate?
