Hello new iPad wallpaper.

Speaking of wallpaper. I made a 1080P wallpaper out of the image, if anyone wants it.

Two options:

I had no fucking idea what Pinterest was till a few months ago and suddenly I see it mentioned constantly. It really seems like one of those flash in the pan products (or products that seem like they should just be a sourceforge JS snippet) whose business model just reads 'Get bought by someone'.

Every girl I know uses pinterest pretty religiously. It's a full blown thing.

This is to enter data

This is to view the info

Heres the "sign up list" again for those that wanted to look or add their name. Really its more of a way to get an idea of how many people are going to be in for this BWE.

The only reason I haven't put my name down yet is because I've just moved houses and my ISP is being a goose, so I have no idea if I will be connected for the weekend.

I'll probably go invade a library for free wifi, but I'm dubious of the ability to download a 20gb or whatever client on a public network...

For me its every person I know without a job has time to use pinterest.

Qanamil

I don't think I can actively name a friend that uses pinterest, but I'm sure they exist.

Draygo

FAQ time.

A couple things I learned today.

First up is that gw2builds.org is pretty cool.

And secondly. Apperently some of the prospective guilds for gw2 are holding a monthly meetinghouse for the guilds to talk about various things. It is recorded podcast style. Would anyone object to me attending the next one as our guilds representative?

Oh man, I love this kind of thing. You have my blessing (not that I have any sway) and I'd like to find out more information about it.

Go right ahead. The more exposure the better. Obviously the guild is PA only, but I would like us to be a fixture in the wider GW2 community and contribute to it as well as be a prime guild on our chosen server.

OP has been expanded with more detailed info on TS3 and setting it up GW2 style. It's basically what we are going with at this point barring any catastrophic cascade failures over the BWE which seems very unlikely.

Enig

Keep us in the loop on this thing though. I'm curious to see what the discussion is about.

My wife has been all about that shit for the longest time. Well before it was cool. And works full time too.

She knew it was becoming a "thing" when she started seeing scam type adverts on there.

Entaru

Thanks for the confidence.

I'll post some more information on the meetup as well as sign up and stuff tomorrow. I'll keep everyone informed and involved as it moves forward.

Basren Dragonsnack

This sounds really interesting. I'm really curious to see what kind of discussions come out of it.

It reminds me of Twitter. And we all know how THAT ended...

Right now you can login at http://account.guildwars2.com and there's an option for downloading the client, only it's not available yet.

SOON.

I was coming on to ask about whether or not there was a client download yet. Thanks for being in my head.

I like the security page. Nice touch.

Updated the theme pack in teamspeak server. To include more awesome. Which by that I mean, I am awesome. And this post is awesome.

Are there any good high res GW2 screenshots out there? I'm curious of its texture quality

Arthil

Of its texture quality in beta o_o?

Enig

Misc screens. Can't guarantee whether they are all at highest settings or not. Especially since it's still beta, so who knows.

Thanks Enig that's exactly what I was looking for. A friend wanted to look at it and I didn't want to use Arenanet pictures (They look actually less good than these, but that's because Arenanet is an honest company, most arent)

Hey, we can finally get past the TOS page and go to a blank GW2 forums.

Blank as in everything is hidden from us including How to use these forums. Forum etiquette, and Frequently Asked Questions.

Wait, you need to understand how to use a placeholder?

We should be Wuvwuving together; the guild with the most participating members will have the option of claiming the towers, keeps, and the castle. It will also display our Guild Banner and any upgrades we have under Art of War.

Thus, some organization is required.

This already exists with the Tactician stuff; the purchasable item that lets you form squads etc.

If anything, you want the leader of a guild to be level-headed to help all the people out. You want your tactician to be a ruthless bastard that understands things words like maneuver, flanking, battle ready magic powered suit of stone, charr. You know, important shit.

I could fill the job of Tactician quiet nicely. My main character for the up coming weekend will be a Charr Warrior with a Commander based build. Banners and/or shouts depending on weapon selection. Shouts for range and banners for close-range combat.

Plus, I am a ruthless tactical bastard in real life. My primary gaming genre is turn-based strategy followed by real-time, and then strategy based board games. Though, my specialty is long-term strategy, big picture, macro-management.

Word from the SA forum is that the previous client is now updating for the upcoming beta. The link for those who want it is:reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/s8f8p/looks_like_someone_goofed_prepurchasers_have/

It works, as far as I can tell.

Edit: vvv that link is better

I went to the main directory http://cloudfront.guildwars2.com and stuff happen. (Access Denied unless you Google Search address)

Kai_San

Damn even the client window is pretty as shit.

Downloading it now as well, I can't afford to wait around really. 3 days from now will be the DAY we can get on, the thing needs to be announced already.

reVerse

That is a pretty damn pretty launcher.

I just wanted to indicate that I've pre-purchased and I'll definitely be betaing this weekend. I'll also be working for 10 hours a day on Friday and Saturday so I won't be able to play much but I thought I might indicate my interest. Any news on if Asura or Sylvari will be playable this weekend?

They will not be available for this BWE, no.

Sorry.
