Guild Wars 2

Definitely pre-purchasing. The only problem I have with the CE is the price. I can't afford something like that right now. The DD doesn't really have anything I want (an Elite Skill I probably won't use and a pet I don't care about, along with some stuff that seems to be one time use), so I'll just get the regular version.

I WANT THE MINI RYTLOCK. ( ¬‿¬) But I'm worried about when the game comes out since moving will make it annoying to pre-purchase.

I want to choose all the crafting, but I don't know what crafting I wanna do. Cook + Jeweller, ololol.

GW2 beta invites supposedly just sent out, so yeah. All my tears if real. つД｀･ﾟ･｡･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟ

Also, it's fun to pretend, too.

Oh can't wait to find out.
Also just heard there's a NDA on the beta.

I don't really care that I have to miss out on 1 or 2 beta weekends, considering I'll be getting into all of them once I pre-purchase the game. I'm happy for those that get in now (even though they're probably not allowed to talk about it).

Yeah, I read the FAQ when I signed up for a possible invite myself. There's a HUGE NDA. Don't expect any legit footage anytime soon.

I intend to pre-purchase myself, if I get a job I've been waiting on. Otherwise I might not have the money for it for a while, sadly.

NDAs seem so unprofessional, to me. I just feel like, if they are proud of their product, they would like to let people see it. Assuming they can churn out new content fast, it wouldn't matter if everyone saw the starter areas and "ruined" the surprise, since most people don't really care about those areas anyway.

I hate this NDA, a lot.
Also, i feel it'd be a lot of extra commercial for their game if people were streaming it and such..

exactly!

I agree with you. It's one thing when it's an early Alpha stage or something like that, but at Beta you're mostly testing features. The worst people will see are bugs. Whoopee. Someone will know that most of the features of the game were all broken at some point during testing! Oh no!

But in Alpha, I understand. They might test an idea, feel it's not fit for the game they put it in, and move it to another game...however you don't want those kinds of ideas getting out before they need to be out, especially if the developers put a lot of time into it.

iirc the people who get into beta weekends through pre-purchase don't get the NDA. Hard to check on the mobile right nau. D:

That's possible, but pre-purchase won't begin until, I believe April. Then you have to wait for the next Beta Event, which could be another month depending on the results of the current one.

April 10 is pre-purchase. The first beta weekend event including pre-purchasers is scheduled to be late April and there is supposed to be one every month.

Tempted to pre-purchase normal edition and spend the 20$ for other things. I'll be able to get the game as well as a decent mouse/pad set-up since I use my wacom tablet for everything right now, lol.

I guess most people already know/have seen this video.
But for people that haven't, this is worth a watch if you think you might be interested in GW2:

My friend got me back into GW1...
Am working on the GWAMM title atm, maybe i can get it sometime before or after GW2 is released

I'm tempted to try and do HoM stuff, but I think I'll just lazy. ;-;

SO MANY THINGS I WANT TO DO AND TRY AND AHHHHHHHH.

I am following this as well in preparation for the GW2 rewards:

 Spoiler

Things you'll need:

All 3 campaigns and EotN
Some cash on hand, or a steady surplus income (about 250k minimum, more is faster)
Patience
Use of the official wiki, if you lack patience (F10 in-game)
Skill (just a bit)


First of all, play through all 3 campaigns and EotN, and beat the final missions and all bonus objectives (3 'hero' statues + 3 'protector' statues). I would recommend starting in Nightfall for the Heroes and faster attribute points.

Complete War in Kryta and get an Oppressor Weapon from your Medals of Honor earned.
Get MOX.
Complete the Mini Moa Bird Chick side Quest from Zho.
Register a L20 PvP Wolf in the Zaishen Menagerie.
Register all of these items.

(2 + 1 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 1 = 14 HoM points so far)

Next, get one Rare Ranger Pet, and 2 Hero armors (~10k each) (+ 2 = 16)
Buy one Gold Mini Pet (~10-20k) (+ 1 = 17)

Now, things will start to ramp up. Many things will cost much more gold per HoM point, but you still have a lot of content to complete to get more points. If you have the cash and speed is key, just buy up what you need, but until then, complete these other requirements:

Pick any 14 of for following 'easiest' 30 statues: (+3 = 20)

Beat Sorrow's Furnace
Beat The Deep
Beat Urgoz's Warren
Beat FoW and UW
Beat DoA
Gaurdian x 3 + 1
Skill Hunter x 3 + 1
Cartographer x 3 + 1
Vanquisher x 3 + 1
Master of the North
Get Sunspear / Lightbringer titles
Get Asuran / Dwarven / Vangaurd / Norn titles
Get Rank 4 Kurzick / Luxon titles


With cash / faction earned from vanqing, earn jade / amber for a Kurzick or Luxon armor statue (+2 = 22) and then one Destroyer Weapon (~40k) (+1 = 23), and 18 random white minis (~50k) to give you 20 total (+2 = 25). Next, get 5 more armored heroes / pets (+1 = 26)

For your final 4 points, you can pick from:

10 more Miniatures (+1)
another 10 more Miniatures (+1)
another 10 more Miniatures (+1)
10 more armored heroes / pets (+1)
Your remaining 10 armored heroes / pets (+1)
5 more from the 30 statues listed above (+1)
Vabbian and any other Elite armor(+2)
One Tormented Weapon + 2 more other weapons (+2)
Get 1 PvP statue (+3)


Gladiator is the most accessible, but Zaishen is easiest due to being able to buy out keys. Using 200 keys will earn the title, and some of your drops from the chest can be re-merched or sold for more keys later on. Remember, if you can pick any one PvP type, you'll be making cash from selling keys instead of buying keys for the Zaishen title.

Hope that helps, as I've seen this kind of easy guide often requested. If prices are off or my numbers are wrong, let me know.

Welp. There goes that.

Why? I mean, it's not a chore.
Playing GW1 is fun!
