    Is Frost Gate the consensus? If so I'll jump to it from Aspenwood when I get home.

    I think the WvW instructor misses a very important point in his tutorial:

    How to fucking damage things.

    I wanted to see how it worked and jumped in and I do zero damage to whatever I try to attack. Zero.

    I thought nobody was supposed to be excluded from WvW? What am I missing?

    Maybe a bug?

    I jumped in at lvl 2 and did damage so that certaintly isn't the problem.

    Yes Frost Gate is officially our alternate/preferred server. Some guild members will be staying on Aspenwood though, so it is up to individual choice.

    OP and thread title updated. If anyone has questions ask one of the guild(s) officers and/or ask in TS3/guild chat. I hope everything goes smoothly. I have an errand to run and will be back in an hour.

    Was browing the gem store. They're not doing server-wide announcement when someone lucks out on those boxes, are they? That shit killed STO for me. :(

    May as well just say "Go to Frost Gate" based on how it was being phrased in guild chat.

    Pretty much. Going to Frost Gate is best, but if some people don't want to, they can remain on Aspenwood and still be in the guild for the moment.

    FYI, by switching to Frost Gate, we've lost all guild upgrades. The upgrades are per server, so Fort Aspenwood has the ones we've already gotten. We're at nothing on Frost Gate.

  • EchoEcho ski-bap ba-dapModerator, Administrator admin
    You still can't craft with stuff straight from collectibles in the bank; you need to go grab it. But that's something I expect to be in at launch.

    That is a bit of a shame, but with such a huge guild we can earn stuff pretty fast.

    Honestly we may as well not even bother with Fort Aspenwood and name Frost Gate as our server. I see no reason not to.

    Decisions like this can and will be made after the BWE. For now, it's for BWE convenience only. There's still plenty of time before release to sort out semantics.

    Yeah, plus we still have some BWE till launch anyway. I'm sure by launch time we'll have a pretty clear idea of what server we want to start on for real.

    TS3 Overlay for GW2:

    Here's how to get the overlay working without graphical glitches:

    1. Go to Settings->Plugins in TS3.
    2. Select GW2.exe in the Profile dropdown.
    3. Uncheck all the Direct3D options, except for Direct3D 9 (which is what GW2 uses).
    4. Switch to Input tab
    5. Check "Enable Mouse Poll" and "Use in-game" cursor
    6. Switch to extended, and check "Used ID3DDevice:Present hook..." (This is what fixes the animations not showing in GW2)

    The only thing that I've seen, is I can't move the window around in game, but otherwise it works! You can still set the initial position during the login screen, but once in the game you can't move it. I recommend right clicking on the overlay too and changing the overlay to Full display.

    To see the GW2 profile you need the newest version, apparently: http://addons.teamspeak.com/directory/plugins/overlay/ts3overlay.html

    I am able to move the window around by setting a hotkey in the "Input" section.

    hah they just raised world limits

    World Population Limit Increase


    Hey all,

    Good news for you. We’ve been evaluating world population limits and we were able to raise them some. Most worlds that were previously full are not full now.

    Also don’t forget we have twice as many worlds during BWE2 as we had in BWE1.

    For the sake of a friend who is having a shitty time atm, is the beta still cpu heavy?

  • TolerantZeroTolerantZero Registered User regular
    Yeah, they haven't worked on the GPU side of the game yet. They supposedly added multi-core use, but I am not sure.

    Turning off reflections in the graphics settings should help.

    Depending on how much they increased them, we might have just had the same problem again by tomorrow. I think we are better off on Frost Gate for the moment. Worth keeping an eye on how things develop though.

    Why wasn't GPU support the first thing they worked on? That nearly killed my experience because of lag, even though my GPU is decent.

    What is the difference between gpu or cpu based, I'm confused.

    I'll be sure to tell him. We tried playing together but during fights his game would act like poop. And obviously changing the graphic did nothing. Hopefully the reflections will help. This isn't going to carry through to release right?

    Also I'm swapping servers. Hoping to have some fun times with you guys.

    Only downside is we're the underdogs on Frost Gate wuvwuv.

    Still fun though. I always always forget to take screenshots. I'm on my engineer Ruffio this weekend.

    The game should be able to use the GPU by the time release comes around, so hopefully it'll be a lot more smooth then.

    Because optimization is usually the last thing you work on.

    I like how they changed the loading screen, but I wish they showed a percentage of how close you were to getting into the map. The new UI is very nice, otherwise.

    Jesus christ, this damnable story quest, that I'm two levels overlevled for, is still WAY too difficult. The enemies just keep respawning and destroying me. Goddamn this is frustrating.

    Edit: Finally finished it, submitted feedback. Hope it gets some tuning before release.

    About to head home, I'll be on tonight for at least some time...hopefully I wasn't kicked at some point. Basren wants me to get some videos of PvP/WvW, Gendarran, and jumping puzzles since he's unable to play this BWE.
