Re: Not finished.
So Anet have been determined to not release 'til its done...then, a week before release, they mention in passing at a games fair "oh, no - it's not done".
I just don't buy it. The only way I'd buy it is if they were talking about something that even the most motivated of the "don't sleep until max level" brigade could never possibly get to...and if that's the case, that's fair enough anyway.

Hey guys I was just wondering if anybody is using the Windows 8 release preview to play Guild Wars 2? I'm using it and when I do a ''can I run it'' test it say's the OS isn't supported, I'm just wondering if that's accurate or does it run fine on the release preview.

I haven't been able to find much on this through Google. Far as I can tell, from the Steam forums, people have said that Steam runs fine on their Windows 8 beta experience. The only thing Windows has done in regards to "control" is preventing people from using the word Metro in their Windows Store - something to do with the name for the new Windows interface.
And for what I've read, the only thing people really hate about Windows 8 is that the interface has changed dramatically? Haven't looked up enough about the new OS.Last edited by DrakeWurrum; 2012-08-20 at 02:15 PM.
I hope you haven't forgotten my role in this little story. I'm the leading man. You know what they say about the leading man? He never dies.
If you give in to your impulses in this world, the price is that it changes your personality in the real world. The player and character are one and the same.

Hmmmm, 1 thing which i absolutely loved in Gw1 was Alliance Battles, it was the most fun i ever had, they should implement that in some form, like instead of alliance battles (seeing as there is no factions doh) they should make a "race battle" where 5 sylvari 5 charr 5 Asura 5 Charr and 5 Norn against eachother, and then just like Alliance battle in Gw1, but only 5 places to have control over.
Just wishfull thinking, i don't want factions in Gw2 though, though the way it was done in GW1 was quite excellent.

I have read nothing of the sort. Everything I've read online is specifically stating that the director of Valve, or whatever the official title is, merely believes that Windows 8 will be a colossal failure, and is moving to port Steam to Linux. i.e. build versions of Steam for both OS platforms.

A developer friend of mine has run most of the BWE's on windows 8 and has had no issues at all. he loves the new OS infact and has been after me to switch but I think ill give it a bit but just thought I would throw that out there for anyone concerned.
The initial UI is obviously designed with mobile / touch screen tech in mind however you can run it with a traditional looking desktop interface if you wish. ATM he is doing just that but all in all it has some extremely nice features like auto imaging and one button push re install of the OS if need be. Lots of nice convenience features.Last edited by Vexies; 2012-08-20 at 02:19 PM.
