Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Guild Wars 2 - BWE #3: 20-22 July - Return to FORT ASPENWOOD! - Release date: 28 August!
Pre-purchasing is now available! By buying the game early you get access to all the beta events as well as 3 days' head start when the game is finally released!
Pre-purchasing is not the same as pre-ordering. Check the GW2 website for more deets.
For the First BWE:
- The unofficial home for the Penny Arcade forum crew will be Fort Aspenwood. SA and reddit look like they will be elsewhere (Sea of Sorrows and Yak's Bend). Keep in mind that on release, you can play with anyone on any server - it's only in WvW that your choice of server matters.
- G&T and SE++ will try to make one super guild with everyone joining the same guild; this is to see how things go, to maximize fun + people to play with, as well as to see how much of a difference playing as one big super guild has on influence and power and benefits (as opposed to having a cluster of smaller guilds, each with less influence). Later BWEs might have us trying to split the guilds different ways.
- Remember that as excited as we all are, it's still a beta. That means posting feedback on the GW2 beta forums so that the devs can see it. We are getting to play the beta because HEY IT'S COOL but also because the team will want lots of feedback to help them finalize the game prior to release. So let's make sure we offer some (constructive) thoughts back to ANet and report all bugs!
- The G&T crew have a TS3 server used for voice comms. More info can be found in the G&T thread, but as always - don't be a dick. We are trying to all play together and have a good time; leave the rivalry BS out of it.
- Information is freely available on the Guild Wars 2 website - use it! Not that we aren't happy to help, but I mean, certain individuals on this very forum worked their butts off to make the website as user-friendly and as pretty as possible, so why not make use of that?

Wait since when is guild wars 2 slated for a release with a given year??
that's news to me! I played it at PAX on a gigantic 3D TV and it was really fun
unintentional -- Noah Cottar in game
i'm out, follow me on twitter @uninten , steam is GaryMyNemesis
I'm in the middle of getting one of my characters through Nightfall, but haven't played in a couple weeks due to playing other games. I need to get back into that, though.

Can't wait for beta to open up for GW2.

I will help you with this as my Monk is working on finishing it and I have a low-level Ele who's only just made it to Blacktide Den
and I have other level 20s who never did much of anything in Nightfall
I used to play the SHIT out of this... then my account got hacked 1 year ago on Halloween. I haven't played since. I have played SOOOOO many other games since I quit playing this. I did just reinstall, due to a friend finally building himself another PC after having only Mac for years, but honestly I don't see myself playing this on any occasion other than to play with a r/l friend.
That said, I am excited for GW2 and will probably play that when it comes out.
Guild Wars follows the less armor is more (attractive) school of design. I wish I had time for this game though. I bought it a while ago but I haven't been able to play it at all. And Post-Searing Ascalon is sooooo boring.

hah not really
that Warrior armor is the only one that is revealing
I just logged in and someone I used to play with was on, he's telling me that currently you can make a lot of money by farming the Spectral Vaettirs in eye of the north for halloween candy

Guild Wars 2 looks ballin.
Can't wait for beta to open up for GW2.

honestly I'm doubtful as they haven't even hit beta yet
but it's expensive and we need enough people playing for it to be viable
still if you need an invite I can ask my buddy in the guild I'm in if that's ok
I will help you with this as my Monk is working on finishing it and I have a low-level Ele who's only just made it to Blacktide Den
and I have other level 20s who never did much of anything in Nightfall
only my Mesmer has finished Nightfall
Like, not all the stupid expensive stuff you can buy for it, but definitely a Guild Hall, Cape and Storage Chest, which is all I ever used anyway
it can be
I'll admit that, and I know that's what turns a lot of people off of it
Guild Wars can feel quite thin, and I blame that on the focus being more on balanced PvP than on a rich PvE story
still, the stories are all right and the combat is fun as hell
That said, I am excited for GW2 and will probably play that when it comes out.
I did hear there was some of that happening
my Warrior, who I deleted because she was named after my ex-boyfriend:
oh and my Elementalist, who was deleted for the same reason:
yes, I deleted them even though they both have 15k armor and even though I could rename them
it's 15 bucks to rename just one of them, I mean jesus christ
SQUEEE SHE IS SO PRETTY
This is my ritualist
I got a lucky drop worth like 600k at one point and bought the most expensive armor in the game
the hat doubles as a teapot
can you be my master
What spring does with the cherry trees.
master of his heart
he wants to name a necromancer after you
I thought I patched it like last week!
call me when it comes out
holy crap dude that is nice
which armor is that?
I JUST made a Ritualist and I have never played one before
just like that time at my sister's funeral
Obsidian Armor
The hat cost over 100k on its own. (15 globs of ectoplasm, 15 obsidian shards, 15k or something)
what do you expect
hah not really
that Warrior armor is the only one that is revealing
the others are just full-on plate and chainmail stuff (scroll down)
the only character with consistently skanky armor is the Elementalist
I think I have like 4
she had TWO sets of 15k armor:
how does that make you money though?
your sugar dady is slackin
