7 hour stress test on Monday at 2pm est (I think). Nothing was wiped, so you can just carry on.
Just making sure. They had a LOT of problems with people this weekend only having pre-ordered.
fyi enjin is doing character support directly from the game for GW2 so I'll be able to implement some of that stuff into the site when it's available.
pre-purchased or pre-ordered? They are different, and the pre-order is only 1 day advance I think. Pre-purchasers have 3 day headstart. May want to check.
They have some issues with scaling, and they also need to improve the levelling a bit. I was in a level 22 are at level 16 because I'd already done most/all the stuff available in the previous areas and wasn't going to wait for a DE, it was kinda silly. I shouldn't have to travel to the other starting zones to stay at the proper level.
Dodging I kinda disagree on - I found that it was a bit too easy to take damage. Melee classes also get kinda raped.
Overall, really, really, really fucking awesome though. Especially once I figured out how...
yep. Although they do need to make it a bit easier. It's almost impossible to tell when to dodge half the time. Also getting 1 shotted by some mobs at the same level as me, which is kinda silly. But it's pretty damn good overall. I'm happy!
So... this game is way more difficult than is typical. You can just stand around and try to tank damage. You do that, you're dead. I haven't exactly figured out how to dodge reliably yet, what between running out of endurance and the lag. But it's fine! I like it! Can't wait for the Asuran race to be released - totally playing as them.
Turns out other people did too. Those both hit high pop within 40 minutes :P Only 5 servers did that.
Anyway, we switched to Tarnished Coast for the beta because Bob was having trouble getting in
it's up early. I'm in and on Sorrow's Furnace.
