Any thoughts on race/class for the beta?
I'll probably go human/mesmer this beta.

I might try a Charr, just to see how it is. Will probably end up rolling several to taste test the different origin stories.
Starts at 2:00pm Friday for me. I think *cough* I feel a sick day *wheeze* coming on...

I was thinking human/theif personally, I just hope my laptop can run it, in case my new computer doesn't get here in time.

I may bge Asura so I can make sarcastic/rude comments. Wait I do that already. Does the race determine where you start from? Can you have multiple characters?

Sorry, Fate, you'll have to wait to try Asura. I don't think that race (or Sylvari) will be available this time around.
Yeah, you'll be able to roll multiple characters. I think the choices you make at character creation time affect your starting point.

www.guildwars2.com/en/ GW2 Countdown link.
My computer died so hopefully I can order one in time of the game release. Still trying to suss out specs tho. If I can get on via laptop, I still fancy Necro or Ele, perhaps a Char, or Norn, depends on whom has the prettiest armor. Alas GW2 killed the Monk therefore tis not a choice

Eld is correct. Only Charr, Human, and Norn this beta. No Sylvari (sorry Red) or Asura (sorry Fate).
Race determines your starting location. But you can use the Asura gate to fast travel to the other starting race locations.
As I recall it was 5 character slots per account in the beta.

I haven't seen anything yet either, Red. Their blog says emails with downloading instructions will go out this week, but so far, zippo. www.arena.net/blog/the-beta-weekend-event-is-comingBE AWARE that unlike GW, GW2 ties players to a particular server, just like WoW or Aion. I don't know how many servers will be available during the beta, but only players on the same server will be able to play together. EDIT: I may be totally wrong about being tied to a server in GW2. Info on wiki.guildwars.com says otherwise, but dunno if that is still accurate.

Hi! Haven't decided on class/race yet. May try a few... Emails have started to go out with info on downloading the client for this weekend. My download speed has been pitiful, so allow plenty of time. World info on the GW2 blog: www.arena.net/blog/choosing-and-transferring-worlds-in-guild-wars-2We should pick a common world... Denravi, maybe?

Post by Asya on Apr 25, 2012 9:58:31 GMT -5
Dang! You just beat me to that post.
Interesting note in the post: limit of one world transfer every seven days per account and a charge of 1,800 gems for each transfer.
I'll be on Denravi.
BTW, I think that transfer works out to be a little over $10 if you buy gems.

Denravi it is. My play time will be limited as IRL is still encrouching but I will definitely be on Friday night. Good to see so many of posting again.

I'll be on this weekend, but limited as I'm solo parenting. Friday night late for sure and hopefully during naps..... Damn kids! :-)
I might play Charr just to see the opening area as I know I DON'T want to play charr in the final release.
Glad y'all have decided on a server! Denravi it is!

So a lot of people in the alliance are talking about starting on the Yak's Bend server, at least that's what they said on facebook, but if you're all in Denravi I guess I'll have to show solidarity The last of my computer parts are set to arrive today so I'll probably be on a little bit Friday and a lot over the weekend. Got some irl stuff on Friday though
