    Cross-server guild invites work. I 'm on Aspenwood, but got invited to the EU guild first and got all confused. But now I'm in both guilds.

    Ah right. Has someone made it? (also I probably can't rep a guild tag WANG, were we going to do NICE instead?)

    Wait a second, I thought we were going for one guild?


    ? I'm confused. Is there another guild?

    Yes? We were gonna make We Are Nice Guys all along.

    Can't log in :(

    Keep getting "Unable to complete operation. Please try again in a few minutes."

    Then when I try again I get "Unable to connect to a login server. This could be caused by an Internet routing issue."

    My net is fine as I am using the forums, have tried TS, Steam, and GW1 with no problem.

    So, lagged to hell and back, and think I finally got disconnected (still in the game, but everyone including mobs have frozen).

    My friend can make a character, but can't connect.

    Also, the framerate is really quite poor. Probably has something to do with 200 players in the area, but still, even in that city it's not perfect (and this computer plays Crysis 2 on very high with no problem, and still managed 25fps on max).

    Gameplay wise? Feels streamlined in a good way, but who the hell designed the inventory screen? Most confusing menus ever!

    Sorry about the connection/framerate issues, there's a huge amount of concurrent traffic on our servers atm.

    Can you be more specific about the confusing menus? I'd like to know more.

    You make it sound like you're a Guild Wars 2 support person. :)

    My confusion is that 1. Inventory screen is just the backpack, you need to go to the hero screen to see your equipment and 2. once on the hero screen, equipment is listed in a single column and a grid so you need to mouse over everything to understand what it is... other games have the equipment placed at roughly where they should be on your person, so it's easier to understand where everything goes. 3. There's also stats in the middle of it all, and they seem rather cramped where they are located. 5. A two handed weapon doesn't block out the off-hand slot, making you think that you can wield off-hand items while having a two handed weapon readied. 6. Nitpicking now, but the hero tab symbols feel rather small, and inconsistent with the say the inventory tabs work (but I see the benefit from having sliding tabs in the inventory). (6. More nitpicks: In general, UI element sizes are all over the place, with various sized text very close to each other and no clear borders between their respective areas... it's simply a very, very messy first impression.)

    Anyway, I repeat my question:

    How do you map ctrl+p to take a high res screenshot?

    Nngh, couldn't register my beta key to my GW account - can't seem to log in to my GW account, and I'm at work.

    And the forums are down so I can't download the client.

    Went back a few pages, found that cloudfront-hosted GW2.exe, downloading now.

    Query: I didn't see the server selection anywhere during registration. Is that... later on, or what?

    So. I got kicked again. Any EU people that want to join our lovely guild message Maera for an invite.

    Next BWE we will try and play with you lovely american people as @Echo says the latency is fantastic.

    This game is killer. My pink-attired afroed mesmer is one of my best creations.

    Well I'm in... but I don't know if I'm pleased or not. Can't really do anything because there are so many people about, flooding over the quest areas. There are queues to get in areas, which causes those waiting to get put into overflow areas which... seem to look exactly like the area? I'm not really sure what the hell is going on.

    Combat is standard MMO fair for sure so far, and while there is dodging I haven't figured out it's usefulness yet.

    My game freezes every like 30 seconds for about 10 seconds. It's fucking annoying. I can't figure out whether it's my shitty computer or the server being overloaded.

    Anyone having similar issues?

    EDIT: Hmm, maybe it's the computer, it's doing it on the log-in screen too. Fucking christ. The thing isn't even overheating from what I can see.


    PS - What info do you need to invite me to the guild?

    All the crap in your inventory. Note the "buyer wants" ones.


    Also, right clicking an item gives you options Equip, Destroy, Mail to and Sell At Trading Post.

    Currently no, just log out.

    This game is AWESOME.

    Feels like total fucking chaos atm. I took my human mesmer to the Charr starting place. I have no idea what was happening. Numbers everywhere. I was pink. It was glorious.

    This is probably been covered already, and I apologize if it has, but how do we claim the 2k free gems this weekend? I rolled on a different server and would like to switch to the PA one.

    Edit: Never mind. Didn't realize the cash shop was actually in the game. That's pretty awesome.

    So aside from the lag from there being being a million people in the starting areas this game is ridiculously fun. Probably going to end up switching around a lot of hotkeys. 1-0 aint doing it for me.
