    Damn, bad timing. Have an exam at 9:30 the next morning, so can't play. Odd that it's on a Monday, as someone on FB pointed out, a lot of people work on Mondays.


  • Registered Users Posts: 427 ✭✭Saviour_Angel


    I wouldn't mind joining you again Mickey.
    We could try and take on that water dungeon / boss again ?

    I've tested the Elementalist and am thinking that this time I'll try a Thief or Necromancer...

    With this stress test, they must be preparing for the next beta, to try and prevent the heart-attack the servers had last time.

    Well people in Europe are grand, think the person making that complaint is American, considering over there it's on at 11am to 6pm on Monday.

    By the looks of things i would be VERY VERY suprised if we DID NOT have a beta weekend the weekend of the 25th.

    Pretty dam sure thats the weekend we will have the next one :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 921 ✭✭✭delta36


    Bear in mind it was stressed "roughly" once a month by the GW2 team in a post somewhere.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,191 ✭✭✭uncle_sam_ie


    I'm going on a 2 week holiday in July. My luck that's when this game gets released. I'll put money on it.

    There was a stress test the weekend before the first beta weekend event as well. Arenanet posted in their blog that this upcoming stress test is to help with the next BWE, considering how packed the servers were that weekend. I wonder how unplayable the game will be come Monday then?

    So looking forward to GW2 but somehow i fear Tera has spoiled me in terms of combat,its just so damn good.
    Ive already put off getting Diablo3 as im hooked on Tera for now:eek:

    The combat in both games is very good but, with GW2 I just didn't feel that I had to grind my way through the game. It really is a game were you do what you want and enjoy.

    Just ignore it for a few months and play for free later ^ ^.

    Your so wrong dude, Tera is here for the long haul mark my words.
    Dont judge it until you played it.
    Have a look at some streams on twitch tv.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,846 ✭✭✭shootermacg


    Time will tell. I personally think the pay to play model is getting old and fast.
    Age of conan has some of the best fighting and looks of any mmorpg but it's not enough in itself.
    I'm betting that within 1 to 2 years all current monthly subbed games will adopt a free to play model, why? Well, because there will be a better game out by then and all the pay per play crowd will of course move on.


  • Registered Users Posts: 632 ✭✭✭VampiricPadraig


    Anyone going to "try" and get into the Stress Test tomorrow. There was a update for the client (Dunno how big), so I will be in Mumble from tomorrow evening ;)

    Looking forward to some more GW2 tonight. This is probably a silly question but how do you actually get into the PvP or WvWvW - is it some City/NPC you have to visit? I didn't notice any mention of it during the last BWE other than the menu option to see the stats.

    Press H :D brings up the PvP menu from there you can go to WvWvW or Structured PVP.

    Lol nice one thanks! Need to read what's in front of me so. :D


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 14,716 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dcully


    Is there WvWvW on pve servers?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,425 ✭✭✭✭VinLieger


    Dcully wrote: »

    Every server is effectively pve, pvp is done through the arena system or WvW


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,191 ✭✭✭uncle_sam_ie


    When you get into the WvWvW area, remember the place is huge so you'll need to warp through another portal to get to were the action is. OR, it's a long walk

    Do you know if they are all just pve for the beta? Or if there won't be any pvp servers also in the full release.

    There will be no PVP servers(because there's no factions) as far as I know.

    They are all pve, there arent any factions like in TOR or WoW, all the races are allied.
    People really need to stop trying to apply old worn out ideas of faction pvp to this game, if you want to open world pvp thats what WvW is for and its MASSIVE


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,736 ✭✭✭OctavarIan


    This game doesn't work without the dynamic event system, which itself wouldn't work with a traditional PvP type server. It's the price you pay to be free of Johnny questgiver from Questhub town.

    You can level up through the game just fine in WvW, which is as others have said, absolutely huge.

    Played some more PvE on my Guardian then tried some PvP, was good fun even if I got my ass kicked most of the time. Never been much of a fan of PvP before but will defo keep at it when the game goes live.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,011 ✭✭✭KilOit

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 921 ✭✭✭delta36


    So how did the stress test actually go for you peeps? Was the game playable at all?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,216 ✭✭✭Kur4mA


    I didn't get to play for long, but apart from some login issues early on it was very smooth for me. I never experienced any lag at all or any other issues.

    Didnt actually get time to play it till 9 but it was fine the whole time, might have been a few problems with logins when it started but i didnt experience them, now if they would only get around to optimizing it so the expensive GPU i bought can actually get around to do something and my cpu can put its feet up
