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.

Saviour_Angel · 10-05-2012 12:26pm

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.

Nope but they have said 1 a month till its released.
There is a stress test this Monday(14th) starting at 7pm and going till 2am

MikeyJoyce · 11-05-2012 6:51pm

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

delta36 · 11-05-2012 7:05pm

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

uncle_sam_ie · 11-05-2012 7:08pm

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.

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.

Very bad release time for it, very bad addvertising by the games companys and alot of 'its asian its a grindfest its crap' stereotypes being thrown around, its a damn good game :P

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.

shootermacg · 14-05-2012 12:39am

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.

VampiricPadraig · 14-05-2012 1:32am

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

More fool them people will say the same about any mmo even before they play it just like they will say an mmo will fail without even playing it :rolleyes:,
Did you even play tera, im pretty sure you didnt.
Anyways back OT this is a GW2 thread

Andrew76 · 14-05-2012 11:33am

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

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.

Dcully · 14-05-2012 12:01pm

Is there WvWvW on pve servers?

VinLieger · 14-05-2012 12:06pm

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

uncle_sam_ie · 14-05-2012 12:29pm

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

OctavarIan · 14-05-2012 6:02pm

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.

shootermacg · 14-05-2012 6:25pm

so what time is this stress test kicking off then?

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.

KilOit · 15-05-2012 12:32am

Got to play a whole 30 mins, who the hell has a stress test on a Monday! Anyway bring on the next beta weekend so the average joe can play it at length

delta36 · 15-05-2012 4:08pm

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

Kur4mA · 15-05-2012 4:11pm

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
