You'll still have beta performance issues until they optimize it near retail though :/
But congrats on the new rig!
Too bad I can't play staff elementalist without a mouse.
Did this as well, slightly different keybindings, but I was really impressed.
One thing that is frustrating is picking up loot, I select it with "interact" and then have to move the mouse over and hit the mouse button to put in in the inventory. Unless you or hawkian know of a better way to do this.
There is a checkbox in the options that is called "auto-loot" that loots everything when you press interact.
I even use it without a gamepad because screw using a mouse to select each item.

Having GW2 withdrawal now.
I keep opening the client for no reason.

Uh, hell yeah. Go into the settings and check "auto-loot"
So glad the gamepad love is spreading! I hope Anet considers adding native support, it really is glorious fun.
edit: Beaten! How can this be!
I'm also having withdrawal. I'm already thinking about my second character I'm going to create and I'm not even level 1 with my main character.
I'm also very much looking forward to trying the game out with a gamepad. Too bad the instructions were posted after I already had to stop playing the game due to work.
I didn't like the crafting UI. I don't like drop down lists of million of things you can do plus it didn't seem to have a 'collapse/expand' all option either.
I'm not sure exactly how to explain it, but I think with a little bit more work they could have done a better design. Basically a mix of drop down menus for the top categories and in the graphical part of the UI a tree-like design that showed the different variations depending on the materials you use. I dislike how crafting feels more grindy than grinding on some MMOs, and other than it being faster it doesn't seem like ANET did too much to break the paradigm. At least on first sight.

Daaaamn. Perfect MMO for dat comfy couch confirmed.
I'm sorry about that! WvW is really hard to pull yourself away from
I played the last 2-3 hours of the beta lying down looking at it in 1080p on a 103'' projection screen <3

Hawkian, you magnificent bastard. I've been contemplating rocking a 360 controller in this game for a while now. I definitely will be switching some buttons around, but on the whole it's close to how I would have bound the keys.

/cry they should at least leave the settings(want to set up the 360 controller now! ) up with us to play around as well as the character creator! *_*
*edit*
Anyone know if they are creating some sort of account security token/smart phone addon?
With the idea of using their gem store with CC info im kinda reluctant to use it until they add a feature.
Or does the CC info have to be added each time and not stored?

It's great because it's completely customizable with TGC basically to any specs you could possibly want. Like you see above with Parn' setup, he doesn't even rely on skillset toggles at all (although I really like it). But yeah, you can really make it suit your style.
Once I solved the camera issue with AutoHotKey, it was all gravy from then on. The remaining issues I have with it are seriously so minor as to be negligible. I'll be playing the whole game this way!
You can set up the controller completely without using the game! You need a control sheet... one sec..../cry they should at least leave the settings(want to set up the 360 controller now!
Ok, this set up is perfect for me. I'm using this next beta. What's the link for the program again?

So I didnt get to play much of the beta, was it really as outrageously difficult as that earlier poster was saying?

Awesome! I will definitely be using this next beta weekend. Should be a step up from my terrible wasd stumblings. Never really played pc games growing up, and the adjustment is pretty hard.

Thank you mate for the instructions, will try gamepad next time!
Sounds like gaming heaven.
It varied. I think people just needed to get more used to the game, but there were some events which were unfairly scaled that made being in melee range a nightmare.
Well, heaven wouldn't have booted me out to the login screen. :-[ But otherwise yes, pure bliss
For anyone who's curious, some dude on MMO champ has found the list of dungeons and taken screenshots of some of the armors.
Looks crazy!

Never tried a MMO with a gamepad but might give it a shot next beta, getting fed up with uncomfortable keys and crazy mouse button bindings.
Same... this sucks.
Also fuck... i forgot to put in a bug report about not being able to bind middle mouse button.

wow. some great info there. armour looks amazing
Alright. I'm back, after staying up until 3am for the closing event and spending the day in recovery mode.
Still decompressing, but if there was any doubt about this game before, it's gone now. I posted some thoughts on the second day, but I hadn't hit WvW or really gotten into a groove at that point.
My goal for the BWE was to decide which class I want to start as at launch, Warrior or Guardian. I played both to level 11. Guardian took longer for me to get a feel for, but I feel like I had a skewed experience on my warrior since I was solo a lot and that had me relying on my Rifle more than melee. I still don't know which I want to experience first, but I know for sure I will have one of each (they were unique enough in their playstyle that I would want to play them both).
I also know I will probably not roll a norn. I had the same problem with Tauren in WoW; Cool race (especially when you get them armored) but their size makes it feel like you're moving slower. Switching back to a human was like sprinting, and it's all about perception.
Also, obligatory Image dump: http://imgur.com/a/mINSt
That fucking Picnic thing was incredible, no event or anything, just... random world flavor. Very cool.
Hey, he found Dougal too. Very cool.
And holy shit, a Kodan Sanctuary dungeon?
FUCK YEAH!

Damn you guys, really nice setups. Will that only work with a 360 controller or are PS3 controllers fine too?
Good man.

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
This is probably a stupid question but is there a way to use the gamepad + keyboard, mouse for the stuff that may be harder to use when out of combat (like crafting, chat window, other various options)?
That would be my only issue. I can't see the gamepad being an efficient way to do all that stuff but I could be wrong. I also know if I use the gamepad, I'll be using voice chat for grouping and the like.

It's sinking though
We still get to see it though, and the chances are good there will be a few floating.
Had a ton of fun with the weekend. Reeeaaaallly want to play more, especially WvW and PVP with a group of people that know what they're doing.
I hope they raise the guild limit for the next BWE, being split into two guilds is kinda strange and inconvenient.
edit: Forgot to ask, is GAF staying on Henge?

Windows has native support for the 360 controller, provided you have a wired controller, or a bluetooth adaptor (since no data is sent over the play and charge kit's USB cable, that will not work).
To get a PS3 controller working with windows, you will need a free program called "MotionJoy." With this, you can use a Dual Shock 3 or Sixaxis controller (3rd party controllers are unfortunately not supported) to either funcation as a PS3 controller or emulate a 360 controller, as well as some other options. No additional hardware is necessary, just the USB cable that you use to charge your controller. The PS3 controller option allows for pressure sensitive buttons and analog triggers as well as Sixaxis functionality, but it requires you to calibrate everything, and quite frankly doesn't do a good job of explaining what it wants you to do.
The 360 controller emulation, however, just works. Choose the option, and windows will recognize it as a 360 controller, and automatically download all of the necessary drivers for a 360 controller. This is what I did, and following Hawkian's tutorial for keybindings it worked like a charm.

There was one mission I had trouble with. I kept dying, and my armour steadily got damaged and broken. It was like strip Guild Wars.
Doubt it. Pretty sure there was talk to moving to a server where the WvW group was actually good. :lol

Was there a way to "try on" armor to see the cosmetics before buying it?
Ok thanks, I just wanted to double check. Already have MotionJoy and Xpadder so I may give that a go next time. If worse comes to worse I can just either buy an adapter or a wired 360 controller.
