I read on Twitter there's a stress test? For how long? There's like no info at all on their website.

 

[Hoaxmetal]

You missed it, t'was 4 hours long.

 

[fizzelopeguss]

played for about an hour, they seem to have done alot of work on the backend side of things, less laggy, improved framerate and near instant pvp-queuing. Props to them on that.

 

[Excidium]

Another stress test tomorrow, if you people still want to test something before lauch.

Another stress test tomorrow, if you people still want to test something before lauch.

What time?

 

[Excidium]

from 12:00 PM (Noon) to 4:00 PM Pacific time. ALSO XENFORO IS A PIECE OF SHIT

 

[Black]

I'll give it another spin, so just no fucker here can say I'm biased and unfair

 

[Angthoron]

Why the fuck do they have to run these on my raiding days.

 

[Hoaxmetal]

Too bad there are no higher level premades or something, would be nice to play char higher than lvl16

Why the fuck do they have to run these on my raiding days.

Why the fuck do you still play wow

Because GW2 isn't out yet

But your aren't biased nor unfair, you're simply retarded :D

People still organize raids for WoW?
That actually surprises me.

 

[Excidium]

There will be another stress test today, by the way:

We will be conducting a Stress Test on Friday, August 10 from 4:00 PM PACIFIC Time to 8:00 PM PACIFIC Time.

 

[Hoaxmetal]

Arena just keeps on giving :D

Well, we're not top progress (though decently high on the server, plus, one of the three groups to manage full clear 25-man endgame, low pop servers yay), but our group has enough people to run 6 raids this week. 10-man though, as it's almost pointless to do 25 with the current lock-out and drop system. Of course it's just 1,5 months til expansion pops out, but eh, gotta keep people busy with something.

2AM, FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

had a blast playing an engineer this stress test.
I think I found a new main class to play.

 

[Hoaxmetal]

Darn, completely forgot about engi. Played it a bit in BWE1 but yeah, need to check it out in depth.

If you played engineer before BWE3, what did they change to make it better? We played engis with gf in BWE2, were left slightly underwhelmed back then, but I do know they tuned the class a lot.

 

[Excidium]

I noticed they changed the turret models, at least.

Didn't play much on this stress test, somehow I was lagging horribly the entire thing. Still did some rifle pvp on the warrior, 5 digit crits are beautiful.

 

[Zed]

I didn't play Engineer prior to the test tonight so I wouldn't know. My previous choice was Thief because I liked the shortbow build with cluster bomb spam.
But guess what?
Engineers have fucking 'nades. That's right. And if you tick "fast cast aoe skills" or whatever in the options, you're able to spam those 'nades like a motherfucker. BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM.
They have an endless amount of abilities with their kits and shit. They have a ton fun abilities, like turrets, etc. They can even wear enhanced monocles!
I think I'll go 2xpistols and granade kit for PvE.

They're more fun than thieves, warriors and elementalist. Necromancer seems pretty fun as well. If I go with an alt it will probably be a necro.

they're a great troll class, luring retards into mine fields is fantastic. Fucker trying to run away? glue gun. Herp derp orgy in the middle of the field? mortar time...

I got most kills with dual axe warrior though, not even close.

 

[Ivory Samoan]

I'm thinking a lesbian orientated Norn female Guardian, who doesn't shower - with an elite skill of 'Bulldyke Fist Storm'... this would be my favored first build.

That, or a Asura Rat-Man Warrior with a penchant for nose-picking.

The choices are endless.

 

[Hoaxmetal]

I'll start with charr guardian main and asura engi/sylvari mesmer as alts.

 

[Humanity has risen!]

I refuse to play anything unless the game launches because I don't want to run through the same content twice.

 

[Angthoron]

Server list is apparently out:

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/introducing-the-worlds-of-guild-wars-2/

Is Codex sticking to Desu?

 

[waywardOne]

Fuck that. I'm kwa and demand a suitably less enriched server.

 

[Zed]

gotta find out where the russian communities are heading before I commit to any server.
I know that far shiverpeaks is taken as a "nordic/swedish" server so that's certainly one to avoid.
