So is this some kind of open test at the moment or is the game actually live?

Whoo, boy. I'm gonna have to make more runs to the vending machine tonight, I'm betting.
Not only did I double check (The refund was in cash. We're talking gamestop preorder here) but I was never handed a serial code for the game, just the one for the beta test (I assume they're different? /shrug.)
Also, I logged in to answer a question for a friend. He also cancelled his preorder but plans to pick the game up next payday. He wanted to know if he could still predownload the files so I said I'd check for him. Next thing you know I'm creating a character and got to level 2 and finished the tutorial totally out of shocked curiosity.

I gotta say, the launch went VERY smooth. I haven't DCed ONCE and when it comes to FPS issues. It only happens for me when there is an event going on with literally 100+ players running around. The fun part is that the FPS drop isn't even that big. It mostly drops to around the 20-30 FPS. Really glad I'm able to play the game so smoothly on my laptop![]()
Highly unlikely. My problems stem from running off of an unstable system with faulty RAM and an inability to install any NVIDIA drivers that aren't the nasty 301.42.
I lost track of the number of full (220,000 files and all) re-downloads I've had to do after I hit ten.
Yeah. I was a complete moron and decided right before the game started to make a folder for GW2 and then placed it there (its been in the downloads folder forever) anyway, when I restarted the launcher it made me reinstall the game.
Aw wow, that really sucks. :<
I'm just pretending the actual launch didn't start until whenever my install finishes.

I was hoping that the movement issues etc would be fixed but they are still the same. Too bad that weighs down the rest of the game experience for me :/
Hmm, if you go back and play more GW1, can you unlock even more for Gw2? So close to a few of the reward's I'd like, wanna go back for them if possible.
yes you can.
The charr story I am very satisfied so far![]()
My part in this story has been decided. And I will play it well.
