Guild Wars 2

and so the thread starts to lose steam XD so here is some info for anyone who is interested. The download on this weekends client is at 3.2 gig completed so far and is at 37% so the client is looking to be between 10 and 11 gig. The final version should be between 10 and 15 at launch i would think (SPECULATION!!!!)... as i highly doubt they'd jump straight to, say... WoW's currently staggering 25 odd gig for the release of GW2.
Gonna be interesting seeing what the pings will be like as well...

Okay so the beta data file will have to be updated, but mine's sitting at 10.9GB. So shouldn't have too much updating required when the client finally comes out..... although, from GW2's tweet I'm unsure whether client -> GW2.exe or GW2.dat.....

As far as i understand, there is a new client for each beta?

What has been happening from my understanding, is the GW2.exe has been changing. <-- This bit I know.
The data file, since it's a binary file, will update as need be - similar to a torrent, let's say. So whatever changed in the game, should update.

I haven't played in like 3 years so I don't want to farm anything, just want the HoM stuff which I can buy like Minipets and armors. I still have like 150 ectos from farming alot of years ago so would sell that and see what I can get in my HoM.
 
meh, just logged in with my other e-mail account and guess what? I got my stress test invite for Guild Wars 2 starting today at 9PM our time i think.

Shirou was right - Pacific time is 9 hours behind us - so that means 9pm tonight. If you wait until tomorrow you're going to miss it.

Did anyone get into the stress test then? Since it was to prepare the game for us pre-purchasers, I hope it went well and that we're getting the dl link soon.

A friend of mine played in it. Waiting to hear how it was... but their servers were offline/bugging/crashing until 12, so they lost out on like 3h.
