    Yea mate and if you played the game in the state it was last night then you'd see that holding down either the right or left button and moving the mouse *just* move the camera and don't turn the char (it will turn once you're moving)

    If you're standing still the only way to turn the char is with the keys.

    Is this a problem though? I'm not really sure there's many reasons to be standing still and turning on the spot. If you're not moving in combat, you're doing it wrong :)

    I requested a forum this morning, as with the launch just 2 days away, i'd say there's going to be a lot of chat about it, and being f2p (bar the initial purchase) it should last longer then most other mmo's.

    Am I right in thinking the Engineer (in a particular set up) is the closest this game comes to a Main Healer?

    Not really sure there is a main healer as such. Certain professions are better for healing, but they are all useful. From what i know, Engineer, Ele and Guardian all have good healing skills. But the others might as well.

    Cool - its just they can swap out their weapon skills for healing so I wondered. Guardian is gonna be my Alt so I think I'm covered on the healing front :D

    I love the way they've muddled the classes - gonna make for an interesting group dynamic.

    I think Guardian could come out as the most supportive role by looking at the classes, still hard to tell though. There is definately a healthy mix between all classes.

    Was thinking of doing that myself, but have the feeling admin won't be willing to make one until we can show how full the main forum is going to get with different threads about GW2. +1'd anyway.

    ACTIVATION KEYS WILL BE SENT OUT IN TIME FOR THE RELEASE DATE OF 28TH AUGUST 2012!

    KEYS ARE REGISTERED AT: https://register.guildwars2.com/

    Had not heard that you had to have it bought before the 17th to get access on Satuarday morning. I bought it on the 20th and had access to the stress test. Pretty sure it said I have access to the headstart when buying as well.Do ya have a link?

    Just been looking around and nothing i can find confirms this. Most ArenaNet stuff is still pushing the pre-purchase copies to get the three day head start so i'm assuming it's still okay (but that could be wishful thinking as i only bought it earlier today...).

    I read from one of the GW2 tweets that if you got into the stress test your OK for the head start.

    If you have been in the betas and stress tests then your pretty much sorted for Headstart.

    Also the game is about 16GBs, so a couple-several hours download depending what your BB is obv.

    This is from greenmangaming.
    Just to be clear folks and for those who havent read the last page or so :) , i was talking about if you bought from greenmangaming not direct from arenanet, it was in reference to greenmangaming where i bought it from at a discount price.
