Do you also STAY in? And can you actually play at all? Since it just gives a login server error for me. Also, pop on Steaaaam.

</lurk> so I'm checking out the beta as well, rolled a thief on Eredon Terrace, though I may reroll depending on how I like it. Would have loved to play with you guys this afternoon, but wasn't able to get work off. Any late night players going to be on from like 2-3am PST? and will there be late morning/early afternoon activities tomorrow? Hope to see you guys in game!

Edited the post on Page 20 to reflect the final name/class choices for beta.

We'll probably have to make a sticky 'Who's Who in GW2' once it actually launches

Woo! Welcome Zac!!! Glad you could join us! For everyone new, Maglor is one of my good friends from RO days. He was a beastly awesome Minstrel who went on to play WoW afterward. Anyways, I'll probably be on late tonight; my name in game is Chroma Altaire. If you haven't gotten it already, make sure to get a guild invite (you too Kurtis!).

If you see my account using Viola Strings, that is TheNesta here on the forums playing my account (which means I went to bed by then). I'm looking forward to playing with everyone =)

Welcome New comrades in arms!

Already did good sir, right before work I ran into your friendly neighborhood Mist in the WvW area and got hooked up with the invite. Have a thief made too but focusing on the warrior this weekend.

But welcome all the same.

So, what did everyone think of their time in the beta? Living up to, falling short of or exceeding expectations?

Pie and I have been pretty stoked coming out of it; we spend a good chunk of time on Monday chatting about it with excitement. I think it scratched the itch that we've had for an MMO for a while. I love all the ways a character can be build with skills and traits. I know I ended up spending a lot of time researching my class (Mesmer) after I was done play testing. I was really excited having some concrete idea of what I was reading about on the wiki after the hands on experience.

I think one of the great things about the game is how cooperative it is and the content scaling is awesome! I went to the Charr starting area and was getting my butt handed to me soloing. Since your level is determined by geographical location, it means content never loses meaning. The idea of going to other starting zones to get skill points and knowing that it will be just as hard as when you were originally level 4 or whatever is really great. One thing that suprised me was to find out that loot tables were also scaled. In the Charr starting zone, I was getting level appropriate gear instead of just old gear and vendor trash.

Pie and I are anxiously awaiting the next beta and release! Having a group of nearly 20; a rather well-formed guild before the game is even released is really exciting too! Thanks for the fun this last weekend all, we'll be looking forward to more good times!
