I've got it on 50 because on 100 it takes forever to get to the bottom everytime you open the thread and its laggy, on 25 you're forever loading a new screen. Anyways back on topic

https://beta.guildwars2.com/

There's a handfullof videos done on the 22nd by TB

thank you rez your a credit to the Australian gaming community.

yay i better get a ******* invite

looks like what i expected, finally looks like an mmo type game that will be worth playing for a while atleast.

Press Beta weekend vids:










The open world PVP looks amazing. Basically what Warhammer online should have been.

I especially like the addition of all the supply camps/smaller objectives so if you are just in a group with mates or a smaller guild, you can focus on them instead of getting stuck sieging in a massive zerg
(trust me, it's boring as shit) I like the fact the keep lords are strong but not disgustingly near impossible like the fortress lords in WAR too.

Not to mention the siege weapons are about 1000X better. Can't wait.

any word on when they let us know if we're in beta or not?

Nein. Won't be for a week or two at least i'd wager.

And they won't say if you didn't get in. You'll just get an email if you get accepted. They will probably have staggered in-takes over the course of a few months to stress test stuff.

EDIT: Oh and if you do get in, don't post it here. Their NDA is so strict you can't even tell people you got in without risking getting booted lol

Edited once, 27/2/12 - 6:28pm.

so keen on playing it, hope i get an email, actually applied for a few games beta's so im sure ill get into at least one of them lol.

yeah i read all that stuff
