    All pre-orders are ready April 10. I'm getting the normal edition because I feel that digital edition is a waste of money. Anyone else here have any criticisms about their pricing and such?

    Any preorder gets you into all future beta weekends and 3day headstart. Deluxe edition has nothing worthwhile thus far, anyone not going Normal is probably gunning for CE

    Maybe if they added something like extra character slots for Deluxe, I could see it. but no

    If the leaked information about the cash shop is accurate, then the Deluxe is the only way to get the + guild influence gainer, even though its probably temporary. I'll be picking it up since im starting a guild.

    One time only. You can't justify the price hike of Deluxe based on the current extras. The only things not limited use are the mini and the elite skill.

    I honestly dislike the way they made such an honorable character into a miniature ... pet. Some fans who ordered the CE disagreed to this nasty concept as well.

    Both the glory and influence say one time use but doesnt specify if its a permanent % boost or just a one time gain, the wording kind of suggests one time gain and i dont know if i prefer that =/ need details.

    EDIT: yeah sounds like a one time boost, wonder if multiple people can use it for a guild even though its a 'one time' boost. Oh well, sell it to another guild =p

    Anywhere you can still even buy the starter versions?

    They're doing that marketing gimmick bullshit of saying out of stock on everything but the highest version in an attempt to garner more sales.

    i would assume they temporarily halted prepurchases to ensure the players that already got in will get in

    I'll be in Sea of Sorrows as well.
    Now... almost forgot to think of a name for my character. I have 1.5 hours for that, then spend a few hours at the character creation screen, and hopefully have enough energy in my body to play :3

    So what impression does everyone have so far? Did you run into any issues? I am enjoying the game, but some immediately come to mind:
    1. If you are in Overflow, your party can end up split between different instances. Not cool.
    2. Respawn rates are hell in some areas. I just killed these assholes..!?
    3. wtf crafting

    I'm definitely going to be playing GW2 on launch after having such a great time in the beta weekend.
    Also here are some useful links if your searching for information about the game.
    As for issues. The instancing was annoying at times, but other then that the game felt very well polished. Accept for the lacking of 2 of the races ;)
    I'm really enjoying my experimentalist, scepter and dagger is amazing. Get just the right balance of range and escape mechanisms feels really fluid.

    Good sir, I do believe you're a psychic. :eek:


    I play the stealth class (if there is one) in almost every game I play. :B):
    I'm so happy I could ride a pig. :p
    Again, I often play the stealth class. But as a Charr? BOSS! :>:(::flex:
    Because a cat on a bear is awesome. You know it, I know it, we all know it.

    Anyone else find that trying GW2s combat was rather lacking after playing games like Raiderz and TERA?

    The question is great but the combat feels lacking cause of that <_>

    Both TERA and GW2 are 'good' in the sense of current MMOs, but you have to consider you know, they're only changing one thing or so instead of actually making some good progress.

    I also found all other MMO questing to be shit after GW2 so there.

    I enjoyed GW2 combat, it felt like I was playing Monster Hunter. Never heard of Raiderz, but I've seen TERA praised for its combat/guilds and criticized that the actual questing was the worst of MMO fodder.

    Have to disagree here, I've grown tired of traditional MMOs and they seem to be making great progress with GW2, throwing out a lot of the garbage legacy mechanics. It's one of the few I believe can truly be called "next gen."

    Honestly, I do hope they wrap up the problems regarding the GPU-lock so that next BWE will run smoothly. So far, I've tried the engineer class, elementalist and theif. I have to admit thief and elementalist can be debatable play styles for anyone who love magic with a mixture of close combat.

    As for Tera online, I'm having a hard time focusing on leveling as I often get bored after 3 or so quests. Maybe it's my taste for more expressive gaming that really allows me to be who I am and Tera doesn't deliver that.
