I'm still no clear on what to do if CD is full. Just pick Ferguson's Crossing instead? :\ Anyway, since server transfers are free for the first week I will probably just get in where I can and move when I can.

We will know more this weekend for sure- if the servers cap -then reddit followers cant join either so it's going to be a shared issue.

Thanks for the advice. I decided to go with the G700. I liked that the buttons were spread out a bit, and I like that it's wireless. Since I game on a laptop, it'll be easy to transport if I'm staying at my bfs and want to nerd out there.

Sorry for hijackin the post, haha.

Good choice. :) I absolutely love my G700.

All points well taken and thank you so much Halish for your thoughts and consideration in that area. /applaud

Disclaimer: I wasn't asking for a website overhaul....just a minor adjustment in one area or another, so it was more clear where to go for off-topic stuff. Of which, Halish gave (or will be giving in the future) its due attention...and I am grateful.

/salute :)

24 hours from 4:20 PM is 4:20 PM the next day - which would mean your 24 hour period would expire by launch 5 hours later.. clear as mud!
doh. :pinch: why you had to crush my dream? :P

Meh, unless they do a really early start tomorrow i have a chance. Im not going to count on it, players would be pissed especially those who didnt know and missed their chance to select a server/grab names.

Time to spam to log in button tomorrow!

Here is official confirmation on how to claim your favourite character names during the first few hours of headstart.

There's a 24 hour "name lock" period after you delete a named character.

So if you want to quickly reserve all your names, start character creation, enter the name, and jump to the end (without customizing appearance etc.). Then delete. You should have 24 hours to recreate the characters at your leisure.
hmm... So whats happen if I create my 5toons and delete em in this stress test, name will be reserved til tomorrow headstart?

Hmm, I'll give it a try. ;P


Hehe, we can only hope they forget to flick the wipe switch.
they didnt according to twitter they are wiping again.

" @GuildWars2 Are the characters we make now going to carry over to headstart/release or will they be wiped again before tommorow?

Streams!

August 24 2012
I tried searching for GW2 streams by members of this community on the forums and it returned no results so..., I thought I'd make a thread for anyone to post their stream so people can watch each other if they feel like it! I often watch streams and chat during breaks or while multitasking and maybe some other people here like to do the same. I've also linked to this place on my stream page so possibly some interested people could find out about this place too.

Re: Off-Topic Column...?

You are preaching to the choir.

I have been interested in trying to expand the "off topic" section of the forums/community for quite a while now and once Vanguard is all settled down I think I'll return to focus on this.

The descriptions in the public sections is one of the many oversights that happen because myself and the other administrators have been looking at the forums for years now and we simply don't notice. I'm sorry for that but the "General Any Topic" forum in the "public" section is the off-topic column you're looking for.

I have gone ahead and made a few changes to the descriptions.

We won't be making any specific "Vanguard only" public forums because that kind of defeats the point of enjoying a large multi-game community :) We can have friends outside of Guild Wars 2. If you want to post up lots of threads about everything then go for it Siafu, I honestly think our off-topic section should be more lively than it is.

It's a quickie.

We will be conducting a Stress Test TODAY from 1:00 PM PDT to 2:00 PM PDT.

We will be actively working on the game during the event, so you might experience connectivity problems or discover features that are not working as designed.
