Man I am exhausted. Put like eighteen hours this weekend into working on this boat. Was really hoping to sit down and read about one more stress test. FIX THIS SHIT ARENANET.

Five more days.

[Pancakes]

All the stress tests in the world cannot prepare Arenanet for what is to come.

[Proven]

There are 5 Happy Bears in this picture. Can YOU find them?

I fixed it

I hear there was some drama between Titan and Ascension on the Guru forums earlier.

Following LumpOfCole, I've learned "If you like it, then you better put a bear on it."

And that is why it was a good idea to split the launch in 3 different waves!

except a large portion will be in the early start lol

[Piecake]

except a large portion will be in the early start lol

It would be interesting to see the percentages on that. Of course, even if most of the peope have the 3 day head start, I dont think ALL of those people will sign in at midnight pacific. Most? Maybe, but im sure a good number will simply log in in the early morning

I do think the overflow is going to greatly alleviate some of it though.

They're still definitely fucked on day one, that's for sure.

Plus who knows when the servers will actually go live between 9 and 12; hopefully the "silent launch" will help prevent a server heart attack.

Maybe prevent a server heart attack, but for someone like me trying to snag a single word, unique, 4 letter name? I'm gonna have a heart attack from the stress of trying to get into game the SECOND it launches. :P

[Llyranor]

Hahaha, spies. How is GAF Guild going to deal with Gamefaqs spies???!

[mrboo001]

I got the regular. Unless you really care about the mini Rytlock or the Mistfire Wolves, then no.

What? Does the regular include the 3 day head start? (Only reason why I went with the digital deluxe)

[Somnia]

Well, I think the majority of people will sign in right at launch, but a lot of them will log off and play in the morning.

Crazy people like me, I'll be up all night.

Make a mouse-click macro, hover your mouse over the "login" button, start macro and sit back. I'm going to prepare mine this evening. This way I can chillax and wait patiently for the servers to go live.

regular pre-purchase includes 3 day head start

Pfft, go old school and by a drinky bird

[Jack_AG]

Billie will lure them to a secluded location with her Norn... ehm... assets and we then proceed to beat the infiltrators with raw fish.

[kayos90]

Yeah. LOL>

[Complistic]

I'm just going to stay up so I can reserve as many of the character names as I can get then I'm going to sleep :p

Wait...can you actually fight people with fish?

Yay, Woodenpotatoes used my potato! I was getting worried I sent mine in too late. His little neogaf emblem is too small to see in the calendar, though. :)

[mrboo001]

Yeah. LOL>

Damn it... *sigh* oh well...

[Hasardeur]

hm, so we Europeans can play GW2 in the morning and don't have to stay awake all night, yay

well done @Darksloth!

[Jack_AG]

No... but damn that would be awesome!

[FuzzyNorman]

Will there be a way to test if my computer can play GW2 without buying it?

[Complistic]

Just post some specs.

[fluffydelusions]

Wait, did I miss something? The headstart will be in waves?

[AppleSmack]

Wait, did I miss something? The headstart will be in waves?

No. What I meant was you got 3 waves of people during the games launch:

1) 3 day head start
2) 1 day head start
3) launch day

[kayos90]

No. What I meant was you got 3 waves of people during the games launch: 1) 3 day head start 2) 1 day head start 3) launch day

For me. 3 day head start IS launch. lol.

[Vodh]

I wonder how high a % of players who will play within a week of launch is going to have access to the headstart. I'm guessing qute a lot, but kinda doubt it's more than 50%.

[Trey]

Have a beastly CPU.

lol, congrats! Great potato too :D

[kayos90]

And GPU.

[Trey]

Anyone on mumble? I want to test my new headset.

[Retro]

Five of us are in the active room, stop on by.

[AppleSmack]

And GPU.

Apparently during the beta a lot of graphical processing was being done on the CPU. I'm guessing that was fixed?

Hey guys, I just purchased GW2 off of GameFly and I got my code but I don't see anywhere to register it on my account, the only thing there is to edit some info and download the client.

[PewPewK]

Make a mouse-click macro, hover your mouse over the "login" button, start macro and sit back. I'm going to prepare mine this evening. This way I can chillax and wait patiently for the servers to go live.

Not a bad idea and I considered it, but I wasn't sure exactly what I should make the macro do. God knows, they'll change the launcher at the last moment or something and cause everything to screw up when I try.

I know for a fact, that since character names are reserved for 24 hours after you delete them, the second I log in I'm going to mash whatever options are under my cursor until I can get to name selection. Then once the character is made, I'll delete it, and take my time remaking the character I want with that name.

I'm gonna start thinking of the best way to prep my macro now. If you have some good ideas, let me know ;)

[AppleSmack]

I think that is what you do. I remember it asking me for a legitimate code and creating a user name for the game.

[Atomski]

For me. 3 day head start IS launch. lol.

Yeah i dont get it. everyone that currently has bought it can log on 3 days ahead unless they went physical release. Majority will log day 1.

Physical release also had some 3 day head start copies. My local gamestop ran out of the 3 day headstarts but it was still offering 1 day head starts about 2 weeks ago.

[PewPewK]

There it is, thanks!

I'm perturbed by the fact that GameFly doesn't make it explicitly clear where you're supposed to register the key. That's part of their job. Ah well.

I'm thinking about getting a Razer Hex to replace my Death Adder. The 6 buttons on the side seem like it would be a huge help.
