re: Guild Wars 2

After SWTOR I dont think RP servers mean much to me. I have tried RP in Rift and Aion and just cant see what the diference ought to be. There is nothing but fighting and looking for fighting for any social activity as far as I can tell. Another reason LOTRO rawks.

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,

re: Guild Wars 2

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.

re: Guild Wars 2

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... eye roll

re: Guild Wars 2

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.

re: Guild Wars 2

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

re: Guild Wars 2

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.

re: Guild Wars 2

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.

re: Guild Wars 2

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...

re: Guild Wars 2

I've really enjoyed all 3 beta weekend events, and can certainly see this game complementing LotRO pretty well. My only gripe about the first 2 events was the lag and the bad FPS, but they seem to have improved that -- my graphics during this last BWE were as smooth as a whale's belly. I found the PvE a bit boring after a while... most of the hearts on the map could be completed easily through repetitively killing the same mobs. The dynamic events certainly helped to spice things up a bit. As for PvP, I didn't do any WvWvW, but had a blast in the structured/arena fights -- their system is very well designed and the fighting was incredibly exciting. I'm looking forward to the release date!
