    As for transferring it wasn't free as of Sunday I believe and guesting is not working so I wasn't able to check it out. Sadly!
    They said transferring worked on Fri and Sat, but would close for Sunday. Guesting won't work till launch.

    In other news I finally got around to updating all of the changes in BWE2.

    Wow.. just got through most of the thread! Thanks! I'm debating on buying it. Is the Deluxe even worth it?



    Also, Why is elementalist the most popular class? I'm still clueless on what class to choose eventually

    Deluxe - Up to you if it's worth it. For some people it is for some people it's not. Most of the stuff with Deluxe is temporary, so keep that in mind.
    Elementalist - I'm pretty sure it's not, where did you see this?

    Probably because it's a versatile class and performs well. Also has some of the most visually appealing spells.

    Not sure where they got that information though. Can't be based off of what people played in the BWE, since there were no asura/sylvari in the BWEs.

    The engineer followed by the mesmer are probably the two weakest professions in the game imo and need the most balance work. The guardian is currently overtuned in sPvP (Disturbing survivability + point control) and the ele is currently strong in PvP while also making explorables hundreds of times easier. The 4 classes with the most balance complaints (that I heard about) positive or negative are also the top 2 and bottom 2 classes. The results aren't all too surprising, really.

    All right. Haven't really cared about PvP balance, honestly, so I had no idea. Still think the Engineer is the most entertaining class to play out of all the ones I've tried so far, and no amount of "it's weak and underpowered" will make me feel otherwise. Enjoyment > power.

    I was just pointing out that it's a common occurrence. The more powerful classes/professions in MMOs tend to be the more played. Especially if that MMO is just starting out and the power difference is already being talked about, since people generally don't have a huge attachment to a class/profession they are currently playing.

    Yeah, I didn't mean the latter half to sound like it was directed at you specifically. More of a general "so what if X profession can do Y% better, I'm still having fun" kind of attitude I'm feeling whenever I put that flamethrower backpack on.

    You can buy the normal one, and upgrade to the deluxe version at a later time if you want and going for the deluxe myself.

    Buying the standard edition personally. Might potentially upgrade to Deluxe at a later date, but as it looks now, I feel the extra stuff isn't value for money.

    Does anyone know when the next beta weekend will take place? I hope that the stress test they just had didn't count...

    Also kudos to the OP, this thread is very informative
