Guild WArs 2 Beta

But Eve Online does have a story and events!

Lol for five minutes in between the 200 hours of mining asteroids.

Man, I played Eve Online for months and never mined a single asteroid. **** that weird stereotype.

I was joking, but I do dislike Eve always coming up when I discuss this idea (not just here.) Eve is fun and all, but not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about this taking place on a world, with characters and such. If you guys are cool with instancing, that's fine, I understand that. I'm not interested in an MMO that does that stuff anymore though.

Saw this on Kotaku regarding the recent beta weekend:

I played Tera which was okay but not very engaging. GW2 looks to be really fantastic.

I didn't get to play the beta as much as I wanted this weekend, but I did get up to level 8 or 9 and enjoyed what I played. Definitely has a lot of potential. I'm now thinking about getting it on release instead of ignoring it like I have been.

How does the beta work? Do they keep making certain weekends open to the beta testers or is it always running?

I was invited for a weekend beta event. I don't know how often they run these weekend. SWTOR had the same beta weekend process.

I think betas where you can play whenever you want until release are fading away.

The two hours I played of beta this weekend were very entertaining. Definitely still needs some polishing and tuning, but the game is a lot of fun.

I can't do that.

Did you get in the beta by pre-ordering?

No. Holding off for the regular edition preorders before I do that.

SWTOR's beta weekends were late in the beta process, to stress test the servers under load. There was a separate beta process going on more-or-less continually for several months before that.

There's a beta weekend underway this weekend and I've spent many, many hours playing. I also took many screenshots!
