Guild Wars 2: The One Thread

[Digglett]

Everytime this comes on I feel all happy on the inside.

I'm not quite sure what you're asking? No your GW1 characters won't be in GW2...?

Sorry, what I meant was, there won't be a shelf/display or something with all my GW1 characters there for others to see?

Highfive!

Yeah, I get lost listening to that, almost instantly, every single time.

I don't think so.

Ooh just reminded me about my GW2 CD collection... I wonder how long until that arrives.

[ksn]

I don't think so.

Thanks, just one last question. Is there a deadline on linking both my GW1 and GW2 accounts? And is there a deadline on updating my GW1 account before linking for more points?

Has anyone been having issues with screenshots?
In the first two BWE's, I switched my screenshot command to the HD setting. Now, in BWE3, they redid the keybind menu and the HD setting isn't there. There was, however, a "stereoscopic" option, which I bound my screenshot key to instead, not entirely sure if it was somehow synonymous with HD or not. But now all of my screenshots from this BWE are saved as .jps files rather than .jpg's and they're not as easily opened or shared as my others.
Can anyone give me a bit of insight?

Q: Will I be able to continue earning Hall of Monuments rewards in Guild Wars after Guild Wars 2 is released?

A: Yes.

I did notice that.. I can't provide insight on that though :\

There is no deadline for either. The connection is no different from two different game titles being bound to one main account. You just get vanity benefits in one for having achieved certain things in the other. And filling your HoM further after the launch of GW2 will still reward the benefits.

I do believe, however, that Arenanet stated somewhere that they might consider the option of turning off the ability to continue gaining points towards HoM at some undisclosed time frame in the future, to try and keep the "prestige factor" for those who earned their points in the past.

While I'm positive some people will complain, that seems pretty fair to me.

Is the questing basically the same till you max out? I have some reservations about the game form that angle. It's a great game form what I played otherwise.

It gets significantly more difficult (you won't be 1shotting mobs while questing from 1-max level like in most MMOs) but the basic design is the same. The main exception is Orr, which is a level 70+ zone and has no hearts and more DEs.

No, it's not. Never bind a key to a function and proceed with using it unless you're at least mostly sure of what it does. :P

Stereoscopy is the art of making two-dimensional images appear as if they were three-dimensional, mostly through the use of specific overlaps of renderings as well as particular color setups.

JPS is "JPEG Stereoscopic", and can be opened like any JPG file (you may need to set a file association for it though).

Edit: I'm unsure whether you'll be able to view your JPS files normally or if they'll be mostly a jumble of colors and shapes. It might be up to the viewing software, or it might not be.

Basically Sterescopic is 3D so unless you have a 3D capable graphics card, i'm not sure you would be able to view them..

What edition of Guild Wars 2 should I get?

You'll be hard pressed to find the Collector's Edition anywhere this late, methinks, so compare what you get from the standard and deluxe editions and decide whether you think it's worth it.

Also of note is that you can upgrade your account from standard to deluxe at some point down the line, so if you hesitate, go with standard.

I kinda hope the CE is hard to find by now yes.
You might also want to get the Standard and use the extra money on gems if there's something in the shop that takes your fancy.

I shall get the standard and get the upgrade later then, thanks for the info.
