Title: Guild Wars 2
Post by: Book Smarts on 2012 Aug 26, 00:31:53
To whoever bought Guild Wars 2, how is it? My little laptop could never handle the game  :c

Haven't gotten too far, but the game is very pretty. Lots of Voice Overs between your toon and NPCs, and the zones are packed atm with people. Almost all American servers are PACKED. D:

If you do get the game, I suggest  http://twentypercooler.guildlaunch.com/ (http://twentypercooler.guildlaunch.com/) (AkA the Greater Brony Alliance Guild). :3

The game is beautiful and I've decided to take screenshots at the end of every vista, which are things that pan your camera and give you an amazing shot of your current area.

At the moment I'm a level 18 Engineer and I'm enjoying every second. My favorite thing to do are the jumping puzzles although I'm aboslutely horrible at them.

I applied for the guild but I haven't gotten around to messaging the admins in game because I'm lazy/shy.

Would be playing it right now, if I wasn't one of the unlucky folk to get hacked the day after official release.... D:

To answer your question, I've only reached level 20, but I'm fairly impressed. Game is very achievement/goal oriented, which is right up my ally as a completionist.

Personal Story is quite immersive as well, though to be honest I think Asura story is a tad lacking compared to the more polished races. I remember as a human I had to choose between saving my lifelong best friend, or dozens of innocents. So far the greatest choice I've made so far as an Asura is "So, should we ambush him on the road, or hit him in his base?" Asura story is still great in it's own right, though.

I'm having fun, and I've not even dove into PvP yet (though I did play it in beta and it was quite good).

So yeah, considering this game doesn't even have a monthly fee it's DEFINITELY worth the buy.

You could always join The Great Brony Alliance. If you were to give your name, I'd ask someone in the guild to add you.

The game runs extremely well on my computer. I've had no FPS issues and minimal lag issues. The game requires:

-Windows® XP Service Pack 2 or better
-Intel® Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz, Core i3 OR AMD Athlon 64 X2, or better
-2 GB RAM
-NVIDIA® GeForce® 7800, ATI X1800, Intel HD 3000, or better (256 MB of video RAM and shader model 3.0 or better)
-25 GB available HDD space

You can always go here (http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/intro.aspx) to see if you can run it.

Ooh, awesome! I'm Iodine.8530 and my character is Starlight Gaze. I'm on Ehmry Bay. Not sure if I need to log onto the server that the guild is on or not.

Guild's are cross-server.

The thing is, you can talk in guild chat, but you wont get any guild benefits. I know, stupid...

There should be two types of guilds then  o.O
Title: Re: Guild Wars 2
Post by: Wafflestomp on 2012 Sep 10, 07:04:01
I should elaborate.

If your in a cross server guild, you can talk in guild chat for that guild on ANY server. However, the benefits the guild accrues are server-specific. So any benefits the guild has on one server may be different then the one it has on another.

So if your not on the guild's primary server, you wont have all the benefits it accrued there, but you can still chat with them.

EDIT: So if you're looking to join the Brony Alliance Guild, make sure to get on Jade Quarry, or else your missing out. :p

I've asked numerous times over the last few days but no one seems to be listening. They may not be noticing me because I never participate in the guild chat or the admins are always away or something when I ask. Unless Wafflestomp can get you in, your best bet is to message an admin of the guild via a PM(if you can whisper cross-server). I'm truly sorry that I couldn't get you in.

I'm Wafflestomp.6238 (or Luusi on Jade Quarry) in GW2. If you see me, just PM me and Ill pester an Admin in Teamspeak to get you in.

Question to those who are playing GW2 already - what's the community like? The game sounds interesting, but I'm a little leery of MMOs after the jerkfest that was WoW.
Title: Re: Guild Wars 2
Post by: Book Smarts on 2012 Sep 12, 22:01:47
Whats the max level again?
Title: Re: Guild Wars 2
Post by: Wafflestomp on 2012 Sep 12, 22:12:56
lvl-80.

As for the community... For the most part, its been positive. There will always bee those jerks in General Chat. You cant avoid them in any MMO. but it's not anywhere near as bad as Barren's Chat. :p

Barren chat was hilarious, moonguard is the worst

As for max lvl 80, it's better than the original Guild Wars max level of lvl 20
Title: Re: Guild Wars 2
Post by: Wafflestomp on 2012 Sep 12, 23:22:13
Barren's chat depended on what server you were on. :p My old server it was bad.
Title: Re: Guild Wars 2
Post by: Iodine on 2012 Sep 14, 05:24:15
It's too bad the server guest thing isn't implemented yet. I also put in an application and got accepted but it seems that isn't enough because I still haven't gotten the invite yet. Can you only be invited if you're online? I'm usually on during really late at night too so I doubt many officers will be online. :\
Title: Re: Guild Wars 2
Post by: Wafflestomp on 2012 Sep 14, 07:08:17
In most games, you can only be invited when your online.

Check your guild tab (press 'G' in-game), as it may list any invitations from guilds there.

As for the Brony Alliance Guild, they seem to be most active around 10pm-12am EST. At least from my perspective.

Again, I'm Wafflestomp.6238 (or Luusi on Jade Quarry) in GW2. If you see me, just PM me and Ill pester an Admin in Teamspeak to get you in.

Never heard the acronym 'OC' referring to an RPG character before.  o_O

Me and the haylanders played it for awhile.
Not as long as I would liked too.
The game lost it's spark fairly quickly and haven't played it since.

The atmosphere of the game was certainly magical and beautiful but when you begin to notice 70% of players are actually farm-bots, it certainly kills it.

Here's me and the haylanders strutting through the snowy tundra of the norn lands:
