every race can be every class.

TECHNOLOGY, MOTHERFUCKERS

Let me explain what an overflow server is and what it does. It is a technology we also use as our version of a queuing system. When a map or a world you want to log into is at capacity limit, the game will ask you if you want to play on an overflow server - so you can actually play while you are in a queue. Once space opens on your world, the game will ask you if you want to join your friends on your world. And you keep all the progress you made while you were playing on the overflow server.

I really want this to be the best MMO ever.

[If-I-Die-Its-Lag]

Ok, maybe I'm hyped.

Our buddy Aerox has a nice write up about his beta experience on destructoid 

[Turtle]

im hyped but i still have no idea what class/race i want to be because most of them sound really sweet

[zaneyard]

i'm probably going to play warrior or thief
initiative sounds fun for it's ability to do huge burst, but i like the idea of just holding someone down and raping them with the warrior.

[Eschatos]

I'm interested in Necromancer and Engineer.

[Squishy3]

As soon as Arenanet posts their very specific beta event details, I will post information in this thread. It'll be coming this week sometime, so stay tuned. I think for my main toon once the game comes out I will be rocking an Asura Warrior and probably an Asura Ranger as a second character. (And if we can make guilds in beta I will make a BRBU one)

[If-I-Die-Its-Lag]

I'm only interested in boobs.

[MrRickrambo]

Here is some fresh Beta footage mmm mmm .. also it's those english guys that do minecraft vids....I'm drunk.....
Guild Wars 2 Beta: Norn Part 1 - Character Creation and Starting Cutscene

[Squishy3]

This is the best gameplay footage I have seen so far.

Guild Wars 2 - Human Warrior

Also, beta development update here: http://www.arena.net/blog/beta-development-update

Most importantly, this: Don’t forget: if you want to coordinate tactics with your party, you can use the left mouse button to draw lines and create circular pings they will see on their own compasses. Enjoy!


WE CAN DRAW DICKS

[Turtle]

so im thinking sylvari necromancer or norn guardian. im kind of leaning towards necromancer because from the looks of it guardian sounds like just a big shield

[Turtle]

also since i think u guys r so cool and all can i join ur guild

[Squishy3]

mebbe idk my bff jill

just watch videos of whichever class you want to play, among all the press uploading video and totalbiscuit has over 2 terabytes of footage yet to be uploaded chances are there will be footage of whatever you will ever want to see

ArenaNet tweeted that there will be a surprise tomorrow. So chances are that will be the beta event details.

[Squishy3]

So Totalbiscuit uploaded 3 videos. We have a Guardian video, which showcases staff and hammer gameplay.

And then we have a UI overview and a character creation overview.
