I have to look after my grandfather for the next couple of nights while my mom is out of town. That means I am not going to be able to give this a try until Sundayish. Don't have too much fun without me. Can't wait to give the new continent a try.
Indar is desert.
Esamir is ice.
??? is forest. (It is more lush/jungle than Indar's moderate vegetation)
And I guess there is a volcano one? I missed that announcement.
The one coming this weekend is Esamir, and it looks pretty good from the preview.

I would only play VS on Esamir because of the Thing.

KadokenGiving Ends to my Friends and it Feels StupendousRegistered Userregular
Is it sad I want to play tonight, even though I've been playing PS2 a lot and am in the mood for Empire: Total War, so I can finally be in a beta group picture? I missed the Guild Wars 2 beta picture, and the big patch is rolling out at midnight.
So I played a bit with that Hexus squad. I didnt have a mic or know what I was doing, but the experience was 100x better. I still suck but I managed to get a dozen or so kills, so yay. There wasnt a TON of awesome organization, but enough to keep randoms like me sticking with others and working as a cohesive unit. I think thats what this hexus guy does well. Normally I never remotely can organize anything sortof a team effort with randoms, he seems to do a good job of it.
Lots of fun.
But how do I get missiles that lock on to tanks? I managed to get some pretty sweet long distance kills with dumb fire missiles, but lightnings are really hard to hit.

Tonight we split squads up to cap different facilities and bump up against VS's warpgate until the servers went down.

Hai guys. So if I register for the beta, how long should I expect to wait until I can maybe get in?
well, as I quoted from the devs a few posts up, they're sending out a new wave of beta invites to people registered for the beta within the next 24 hours. They're also sending out an extra beta key to every person already in the beta, so chances are high someone here can give you one if you don't get one of the normal invites.
I'd offer you mine but it's spoken for, an IRL friend wants in.
Ok Esamir can be pretty beautiful. Good use of the lighting engine. Forgot to launch PS2 through steam, so no screenshots sadly. I did however get some footage from the in-game capture tool of me going "holy shit we have a lot of tanks", which I'm pleased to see now records sound. Dunno if that's a change, or if it was just a bug I had that finally got fixed, but hey, works for me.
edit: oh, and for the record, I was finally able to secure Killjoy as my name instead of DolorousEdd, so if you had me on your friendslist you can find me under that now.
So how to I buy new shit? I see that I can get certs to upgrade my guy, is that it? Or are their other weapons and shit? Mainly I want somehting that is better at AT. II fire this piddly rocket at tanks and it takes like 4 to kill one, and they move so fast Im lucky to remotely hit one from range.
Also, how does the game work in general? Both last night and today when I played it was like 10 enemy tanks for every 1 enemy infantry. Is that normal? Seems...dumb.
You buy new guns for infantry and vehicles through the store interface. They cost a hefty amount of Auraxium and need to be equipped through the loadout customization inferface.
So, did the optimizations actually go in? Someone said that Smed said an optimization didn't go in with the patch, another said all the optimizations didn't go in. I can't find his twitter post about it so I don't know for sure.
EDIT I found a post that a guy asked about them in the Tech Support forum since they're not mentioned anywhere, and RadarX closed the thread. This is not encouraging.....I'd like to throw $40 at them, but they aren't giving me a reason to yet.
New Conglomerate light machine guns are now doing slightly more damage. We haven't adjusted the weapons so we're looking into the possibility it's fueled by rage.
Vanu Sovereignty light machines guns are now better designed to fire on the fly. We tried to pin this on rage also but it's the Vanu Sovereignty. What expressions DO they make under those masks?
General infrantry weapons are now a little more accurate. We'd like to say this will make you a better soldier but realistically this just means you are going to get shot more. Why did we change it? Surplus bandaids. These babies gotta move.
Overall certification rate gain has been slowed significantly and costs have gone down. This is math and we don't expect you grunts to think much about it. Just focus on not getting blown up.
Okay, I'm going to go against my earlier stance and I'd like to get a beta key somehow. Whose twitter accounts should I follow to beg for them and the like?
Why did they have to bring out Esamir AFTER I've left my PC back in the states until Feb. Argh I must see it! I've been kinda sick of Indar for a while now and I've been craving a change of scenery. I mean, I still want to see Amerish most of all, but I was really excited to play on something other than desert.
Patch game, create character on the west coast server, log in, immediately get TK'ed in NC warpgate spawn...
Terminal to warp to new continent borked and people standing behind the crowds trying to use them lobbing grenades and shooting everyone in the back. Respawn and watch a MAX suit walk around room shooting everyone. Walk outside and see several people trying to run over teammates, give up and go back to playing BL2.

They have confirmed 4 so far. Ice, Desert, Forrest, Volcano

Game Error G12
Malfunction:

When trying to load right now?
EDIT: Weird, and it just randomly started up fine.
We are playing on the desert map right now. They will be adding the ice map tonightish. We have yet to see the forest and volcano maps.
Esamir is ice.

How's the new server? Crowded? Apparently lots of vanu?

Weren't they supposed to merge the servers?
You are a gentleman and a scholar

Still no actual punishment for repeated TKs?
