If I order on Amazon do I still get beta access and the 3 day head start?

Friend just told me he got in the stress test boo on him.
Don't worry about it too much, the stress test happens from 12pm to 6pm.
A six hour stress test sounds like something that will just anger people. WoW's stress test was at least a full weekend...can't remember if it was more like 5 days.

I wonder if there were originally different level capped T-stones...if that was too "confusing" why not just make T-stones that are based off of the rarity of the item being destroyed (usually that'd be the one that has the better stats right?)? That way it can be tiered, with higher rarity T-stones costing more karma and as long as you make them match the same color as the rarity, it can't be that hard right?
Exactly. That's why I'm keeping a healthy grain of salt around whenever I hear things about the game. Either way, I'm already locked into a prepurchase, but I definitely won't be overhyping myself, and I'll call out bs when I see it.I wonder if there were originally different level capped T-stones...if that was too "confusing" why not just make T-stones that are based off of the rarity of the item being destroyed (usually that'd be the one that has the better stats right?)?

That is how it worked. There's T-stones for 1-10 items 11-20 and so on or something like that. I fail to see how that's confusing at all. It even said as much in the tooltips, you could clearly make this out when someone hovered over them in a video.
It was something like this:
Copper T-Stone
Transmutes level 1-10 items
100 Karma
Tin T-Stone
Transmutes level 11-20 items
200 Karma
The numbers aren't exact, but how was this bulky and confusing to the player? Certain stones worked on certain level ranges and had an increasing Karma cost which makes perfect sense.

Yea while I have no issue with the gem shop, the "confusing" argument makes no sense. This leads me to wonder if they took out the leveled tiered T-stones, are there only going to be 1 type now in the gem shop? That'd make it feel like a waste of money to reskin lower level weapons since there's no leveling curve and you'll probably switching weapons every 5 levels or so...idk, I hope they clarify this
Pretty skeptical about this. "Confusing to players" seems like a cop-out answer. You could easily make a note of it in the description or something.
Is there any way to get a physical copy of the Standard Edition as a prepurchase with beta access and three day head start?
Indeed, and this is a pure cosmetic thing anyway- can't say I object.Not caring about items being moving to the Gem Shop - they are obtainable with in-game gold.

So from what I can tell, the digital deluxe version is a handful of single-use items and a one potentially lame combat skill for an extra $20. Doesn't seem worth it. Am I missing something?

I thought the wolf skill was a mount?
WTF

Correct. Go standard imo, buy something useful in the shop like extra storage or character slot if you want.So from what I can tell, the digital deluxe version is a handful of single-use items and one potentially lame combat skill for an extra $20. Doesn't seem worth it. Am I missing something?

My friend is obviously in the beta...
His steam came up as "Now Playing - NDA CAN'T TELL YOU".

shhh. ;P
I did that with FireFall. It's fun to tease.
"GAME WITH AN NDA - SOOPER SEKRIT!"
I'm not sure this solution is superior to just requiring people to have unique names. I'd rather have to choose something else than be Hawkian.6540 (I think, I already forget mine) just because of some impostor out there.In the event that two players try to register the same name, they will both have the 4 digits attached to their name rather than forcing one or the other to change. So if you registered as "Billy" and I come along and do the same, we'd both be "Billy.####". I would imagine it's done that way so people can have the names they want and are familiar with rather than being forced to come up with something like "BiLliEEE32312".
Also, random numbers > familiar numbers.
Yeah, we were discussing this before the first podcast, somebody had changed Chrome to appear in steam as "Guild Wars 2" and people were up his ass about it.
Speaking of which, when were we going to work on a third?

You know... when we're ready.
