Res.Orb is the only sketch one. The Repair thing is just a time-saver, not power. As for the Mystical Keys, who said we wouldn't be able to get keys through the game?

You can get transmutation stones through Karma despite them being a Store item. Plus, you can trade Gems for Gold and vice-versa.

Repair one isn't just a time saver when you factor in dungeons. You can use them inside and unless there is an equivalent available for gold or karma that means paying players get to bypass the penalty for playing poorly which is broken armor and eventually being naked.

The rest you are correct about but I doubt you will have close to enough of the item like in the case of keys, which does mean you aren't experiencing content just because they wanted another quick cash grab.

Which one shall be our Home server? (Assuming they keep the names)

P.S: Remember that you can switch servers as much as you want, but your tied to your Home server for WvWvW.

Spoiler!

Assuming it came from 4chan. Guru won't allow leaks to be posted anymore.

I don't understand how people are leaking, I can't. I have my e-mail stamped all over the screen, any screenshots or videos will show that it was me who leaked it.

How bad is this all over the screen situation. Is it possible to remove the portion of the screen where is at, assuming is a bar across ?

Also do you have access to the cash shop at all ?

Miguez · **Joined:** Nov 2008 **Posts:** 5003 **Location:**

No and yes.

It's in a certain opacity that you barely notice it, but it's noticeable if you look for it.

Was wondering. As Necromancer, does anyone know if you can put up more than one well at one time?

Edit: nvm it's one.

That assumes you're playing with 4 others who have the repair kit. If even 1 person in the party hasn't got it, the bonus is mostly moot. That and with teleports for everyone, going to a repair guy is only a minor set-back.

Fuck that 150$ noise.

I have to say that I regret playing the Beta. It made me re-consider if I'm buying the game or not.

Love · **Joined:** Nov 2007 **Posts:** 5336 **Location:**

Wow, why ? Strong statement.

Miguez · **Joined:** Nov 2008 **Posts:** 5003 **Location:**

I'm not going into huge explanations here since you can find detailed rants all over the internet, but the main reason is that I didn't have an urge" to go back to the game after I logged out.

I didn't even play in the last day of the beta weekend, and I could've.

This could easily be explained by saying that this was a beta, not an opportunity to play the game before everyone else, and as such shouldn't be compared to what the experience of the game when it comes out will be, but rather an opportunity to help them polish the game and find mistakes.

It was entertaining, yes, but it didn't live up to what I was, probably stupidly, expecting.

Let them shitstorms begin, people has been denying that GW2 is terribly overhyped, just as any new MMO. I hope I get in 1 beta so I can try the game out myself before buying it, because I got some doubts about it too. :soosad:

I actually thought the game was underhyped until recent gaming events (Gamescon,PAX,etc). I'm a fan of the franchise so I'm buying the game regardless.

Miguez · **Joined:** Nov 2008 **Posts:** 5003 **Location:**

Yeah, do it.

The game is pretty good as is, just not as good as it was expected to be.

Cant wait for GW2. I cant play Wow anymore, that game and those graphics make me literally sick, it was OKish for a while, but not anymore. I would rather play Silkroad than Wow nowadays, and I Farking hate Sro and would start cutting my wrists halfway loading screen

I didn't know SRO was this emotionally destabilizing. You may also want to get a better PC.
And I would rather play Silkroad than WoW any day.

Doubt it. The specs (although minimum) are fairly low.

I'm on the same boat. Guess it's time to upgrade. :soosad:

omier · **Joined:** Aug 2006 **Posts:** 5985 **Location:** ...

My gfx card is good(though I'd like a newer one), but something is affecting its performance by a large amount. At one point I couldn't play the games I could before. The framerate went down to shit and i get 100% GPU usage while playing(Skyrim for example). I have also had slow loading issues with Skyrim(Event Viewer shows I've had disk errors) ever since i got a new HDD.
Gonna have to send it in to warranty again.

I've had this issue before reformatting. Before my recent reformat, games like BFBC2 and Civ5 didn't run too "smoothly". Now they run perfectly fine.

Getting a new laptop within the next months so I'm all good (although I'd be fine with my current one).

I've read somewhere on Guru that even HD3000/2000 (popular built-in gpu on entry-level laptops) would be able to run the game (on Low).

I don't want to reformat myself any more. I hate that Win7 OEM bs. Gotta create some weird DVDs and mess around. My HDD had to be replaced because i had problems and wanted to reformat. So after sucessfully doing so, the laptop didn't start again. The screen never showed anything. Turned out the HDD was dead. After that i found out you could reformat through the Recovery partition as well, but once they put a new HDD in there, there was none. -.-
