I'm in the central time zone, so that's 2:00 a.m. for me. I normally get up at 5:30 a.m. anyway. If I miss just a few hours of the headstart, that won't be the end of the world. I'll just go to...

The client is also pretty buggy. I've had it crash to desktop a half dozen times this weekend and freeze-crash twice so hard that it takes several minutes for it to die even after I kill it in the...
I am not sure if this is actually something to be concerned about. From what I saw, almost every class had access to some area effects. For scholars, they were typically ranged and ground targeted....
I was outlining a hypothetical situation that would occur IF ANet were selling gems directly for gold. As far as I know ANet IS NOT selling gems directly for gold. Somebody has to buy gems for real...
The problem, as you've noted, is that the supply of gold is going to be ever-increasing. Unless ANet inflates the cost of gems along with the increasing money supply, then the cost of gems will...
Lagger, remember that gems aren't really a money sink, though, in this sense. The gold spent on gems will go to another player, who first spent real money to get the gems. The gold still doesn't...
It may be underappreciated but I certainly made use of it during the last BWE. Especially during boss fights when lots of people were gathered, the only skill besides #1/auto that I was using was...
This is something else that I might test during the upcoming BWE. I can take my Thief to the PvP lobby and gather some data. They might change the coefficients around between now and launch but I...
I will probably spend at least Friday evening playing in PvP. I want to test out a few things that will require me to have a "perfect" level 80 character. In particular, I want to test out a few...
Or just do your best when you are able to play. I'm going to keep telling people this because to me, it's the most incredible thing about WvW. Even with only a handful of other people at my side,...
I'll share my secret naming convention with you. The six names that I've come up with so far are all based on varieties of fruits and vegetables. Here's a new one just for you, playing off the...
The problem here is that I actually would prefer collecting rocks for jade to tumble to make polished stones for her mantle. Jade sounds like a real person, somebody with interesting hobbies. It's...
PriestessLara, thank you very much for pointing that out. I know that in GW1, I often skipped armour because I could make do until later. It made the game a little bit more difficult in some...
Vayne, I get that. I'm not saying that's what I'm looking for. I'm just highlighting it as a potential "con" of the persistent world model. The actions of players cannot have repercussions so...
Is there anything strictly wrong with this being "a dungeon crawler with a separate pvp game attached?" I mean, I think they're more connected than that. They're going to use the same classes,...
I think that ANet has struck a good balance between persistence and respawning. Advantages and disadvantages of persistence, particularly the way that GW2 is doing it?
Pros: greater immersion,...
I agree with the argument that you're making but not with your conclusion. There was forum feedback on this topic after BWE2. People commented that the game didn't do enough to teach an effective...
I think this is also a matter of the play style that one chooses. On both my Memser and my Thief, I did find myself using ranged more than melee. Both, however, often had a melee weapon equipped as...
Just so. There's a theory of experimental design that allows one to cover a large, multivariable space by running trials of corner cases and a few mathematically chosen intermediate cases. Computer...
Did they say it would be specific colours? If so, I'm okay with that. 4:1 isn't a great deal on another random dye, even if it's guaranteed to be a 'rare' one but if you get to pick what colour you...
I really hope that they find a way to improve the management of the dye system. As it is, what you get by opening a dye pack or a vial is random and soulbound to that character, with no guarantee...
