    hello guys, one short question from me:

    I have bought the digital pre-purchasable version of GW2. There will be no events / testing from now on until the release date, correct (no way to log-in and see anything in game )?

    thank you.

    Nope, no more beta events until release.

    Another stress test is possible, but highly unlikely.

    It seems more likely that there will be 2 or 3 more stress tests before release. There was a major update of the client during the one 2 days ago, (which did indeed give a 5 minute warning and allowed immediate re-log in after downloading the update) and it seems very very likely, given ArenaNet's desire to polish the game, that there will be more stress tests. I'd suggest checking either of the following forums for announcements.

    guildwars2forum.com or guildwars2guru.com/forum

    If you'd like to know the background of the game, from the developer's point of view, they have 3 years of blog posts that contain a lot of information about the game and lore: arena.net/blog/category/guild-wars-2

    Also, be sure to start up the game every 2-3 days. They've been pushing out updates. 3 since the end of BWE3 2 weeks ago. Devs have encouraged this so you won't have much, if anything, to download when the game goes live.

    Have fun. I've only been in BWE3 and the most recent stress test, but it's great so far!

    (Since I'm new here, they're not letting me post full links - thus the abbreviated ones above.)

    i don`t want to research the game too much. i want it to be a surprise, and hopefully a pleasant one.

    I will follow your advice with the launcher and see where that goes, thank you.

    Right now we've had all 3 BWE's, and 3 stress tests. We are 100% sure that the BWE3 was the final one. We had a stress test after that. Head start begins in 19 days (I love how that sounds after waiting since 2007 ) so it's possible that there will be another stress test before launch.

    However...

    I would advise against playing in the stress test if you haven't been ingame yet. Keep the game fresh for release so you can enjoy it to the fullest.

    Yeah.. if you have managed to go this long without playing, you don't want to play during a 4hour stress test filled with zones not loading and character's not able to log in.

    I found your introductory topic for GW2 very helpful. I wanted to ask your permission if I could use it as a turtorial topic on my guilds website? With link and credits leading back you, or any additional GW2 website you're part of and want to be credited.
    Thank you for your time.

    Regards,
    Arch

    I'd actually says it's possible.

    In the days leading up to the stress test there were several 8 file/50mb updates.
    During the stress test the only update was 8 files/50mb.

    Today's update was 8 files/50mb.

    To me that seems related.

    Not sure if this has been asked;

    I know the longbow tooltip described more damage per farther away, but can anyone confirm the shortbow damage increase if you're closer? If not and it's only applicable to certain skills, then that'd be nice to clarify on the OP. Thank you.

    No shortbow does more damage closer or farther away from the target. However longbow does more damage farther away but its only for longbow1.

    The only server labels are US and EU. US = The world besides Europe. There's no time zones, like EST, PST, ect.
