An excellent assessment, Niphred... Camara is (well, probably 'was' by now) a lvl 20 engineer. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed that class. I dealt entirely with PVE; no PVP at all. Some bugs, as you would expect with a beta, but I can certainly see making that my secondary MMO.
Off to the airport, so I'll post more later...

Thoughts? I enjoyed the beta a lot and I see this going well alongside LOTRO and All Points Bulletin. The PvP reminded me a lot of Warhammer's. The PvE was really excellent in many ways. The scale of the starting areas first quests were most impressive. Most of them had me fighting a creature at least 20 times as tall as my character. I also enjoyed the questing being based around exploration. With how unique the quests are, I have a strong suspicion that content may not be plentiful enough for people who only roll one character and like to powerlevel.
If anyone plans to lead an LMB group there or if most of the LMB members have a different guild in mind, I would be happy to join up.

Tarnished Coast it is! I hear that the plan was to wipe before and after this weekend, so there's probably not a lot of point to sweating too much on a guild and such, but next month... :)
I am planning on making either Cam (asura) or Laurel (sylvari), so keep an eye out. I've got meetings through till 5:30 today though, so I probably wont be there till at least three and a half hours after it starts.

I will be. Look for anyone with Mac for a last name, and that will probably be me.

I managed to make it work by deleting all the files and folders from the old installation, updating my graphics driver, and downloading the latest GW2Setup.exe file. So it looks like I'm all set for tomorrow! Yay!
Are you all still going to be on Tarnished Coast?

I'm not going to be any help. I haven't gotten that error. I did patch late last week, and haven't updated since.

I'm trying to update my GW2 launcher, and it's giving me a "serious error". The details say something about a "Dx9Tex.cpp" file. I never had this error before, and was able to participate in the two previous BWE's without problems. Is anyone else getting something like this? I'd post a screenshot or copy-paste the details here, but I don't have access to my designated gaming computer at the moment...

I meant on all the other MMO games I have tried. RP means a whole lot to me personally here in LOTRO. The other games I have tried have no immersion qualities for my taste.

RP servers mean a great deal to me. I see a large difference, say, between Landroval and Silverlode (where Khered and I first started). Of course, each game is going to draw its own crowd (and LotRO tends to draw the mature-minded as opposed to most other games, it seems).
Honor and fun,

I saw a vid of this someone had posted... There were three "components" that they were able to pick from one piece or the other. So, the appearance of A, the stats of B, and the uh... whatever the third component was from B also, and then poof. One piece of customized gear, where once there were two. Interesting idea... Apparently the items that allow you to do this come from either the store or something called mystical boxes. |
I've really liked the face that female armor in LOTRO is not of the chainmail bikini type. I really haven't played many other games, and this is one major reason why. It just degrades the whole tone of the game IMO. In guild wars the style seems to be more of "Anime Cheerleader" for light armor wearers.
