    Got my key and downloading now.

    Been wanting to buy this game but the only thing stopping me from solidifying a purchase decision is getting some hands on time with it, this should remedy that.

    So if I got a key for the last beta weekend, it's not good for this one?

    Hmm, I got a key from one of those giveaways but I'm getting this error message: "The supplied serial code is valid, but it can not be used to create a new account and it can not be applied to any accounts you already have." Maybe my previous weekend beta activation is carrying over? Or maybe the key got used or something? Confused!

    EDIT: Not sure why it didn't occur to me, but obviously that first link that I had to let Google translate for me was giving out a code for a region other than the US. Finding a US region link from that forum post worked.

    Typically no. If it was in a beta key giveaway, it only works for that weekend. The only people with access to all beta weekends are those that preordered.

    Got a key for this weekend. Won't have a ton of time to play (Exams and all that) but I should be able to get a few hours in and see if I like it.

    If I do its off to the preorder store!

    Alright who wants a code for this weekend's beta? I would like to give it to someone who will actually give it a shot or if they're on the fence about the game.

    I'm considering rerolling over with you guys on the PvE server for the beta weekend (To recruit more of you to pvp mwahaha) just to have more people to chat with and such. New UI and stuff too right?

    Wow I jumped into GW2 because of the big patch, and erm, its nearly impossible to play now.

    I keep trying to sprint and I dash for movement instead of invincibility. And for anyone who says telegraphs in PVP is a clusterfuck, well, its even worse in GW

    And I like GW2. But I always thought it would have better pvp. It doesn't seem like it anymore, PVP in WS is easier to understand.

    GW2's dodging it seemed had the invinc frames to compensate for a combination of latency and the fuzziness of the outer edges of big hostile attacks.

    Eh, it was a good decision for the game for reasons, but the point I was making is I am so used to dodge in WS serving a much different purpose. Mainly, movement in GW2 is stiff because for the most part dodge isn't getting you anywhere.

    I think its just the realistic momentum (that people were complaining was floaty) makes WS movement feel so much better.

    Oh and also I feel like I couldn't jump over an ant in GW2. WS lets you jump so high.

    The trick for good jump feels in GW2 is to play an Asura!

    But what if you play a chua in WS?

    There's a terrifying thought: An Asura and a Chua working together in a lab.

    So just a heads up, if you are in NA and plan to play in NA realms come launch, dont use the keys from that Dutch site. I just had it confirmed that they're enforcing the region lock on the Beta keys now as well. Grab one from one of the NA partner sites instead.

    EU keys will work on EU accounts even though they don't have the EU servers up yet. Silliness!

    Also if you are playing from EU/AUS/etc you can expect ping of anywhere between 100-250 ms on the NA beta server which I hear is "manageable" but do note that you can take advantage of the ability queue setting in options. Just set it to whatever your latency is and it should alleviate some of that headache. EU based servers will be available by head start confirmed

    How maintenance days will be handled post launch by Live Producer, CRB_Virtue:

    Hi All,


    We've been discussing on the Operations front how we want to handle maintenance moving into launch.



    Our goal is to perform maintenance during non-peak hours for both US / EU customers so as to avoid interrupting play for as many players as possible. This isn't definitive, but our initial discussions put us around 2:00am PDT / 9:00am UTC on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and/or Thursdays. Typically for a weekly deployment or a bug fix patch we will only be down for a few hours (historically between one (1) to three (3) hours of maintenance.



    Cheers

    That's fucking crazy. Actually thinking about when you're doing maintenance, then picking a time of the week when the fewest possible customers are going to be playing?

    Inconceivable! Carbine is truly blazing new trails when it comes to MMOs. :D

    The funny thing is that I'd never once heard about this game before PAX. But Wildstar was everywhere around the convention center. Billboards, taxis, commercials... They marketed the SHIT out of it.

    Warplots are massive 40v40 battle royales, accessible to all players once they hit level 50. Each team starts with a fortress that they can upgrade and customize with a vast assortment of modifications using special currency called War Coins.

    Victory is achieved by either destroying the enemies’ generators or through killing players and disabling structures. At the end, both teams are rewarded with Loot Bags, Prestige and Elder Gems.

    Warplots are a seamless blend of life’s two greatest pleasures:
    Property ownership and loser ownership.

    UNITE. BUILD. FIGHT. WIN.

    reminds me of pax prime 3 years ago where your eyes could not escape firefall. Pity that game did not shape up better

    Well, when you can't decide what the core of your game is, and keep trying to "reimagine" it...

    You have problems.

    Lots of them, in fact.
