WOW QiqJoe, it looks like you have the "purple" gear market covered. I am truly impressed with your level of crafting. I don't think I have any purples or oranges yet. I have a few lowly blues but nothing higher and I've been REing quite a bit. Somehow I think Bioware's estimate of increased yield of 20% on upgraded recipes is a bit "stretched" (for want of a better term....lol) You've had to have spent a lot of time crafting and REing back to back to have amassed such an impressive listing of purple/orange gear. :woohoo:

I only ended up logging on for part of the day on Saturday due to real-world commitments. Boo. Hiss.

Since I had limited time, I stuck with PVE. I didn't bother with the main questline, but opted to run amok and check out the dynamic events. I tried most of the classes for a bit (Greatsword Mesmer was a blast), but I ended up focusing primarily on the Ranger, the Guardian, and the Elementalist.

Ranger was a lot of fun. It was a little different from most "hunter" types I've played before, which created a nice bit of a learning curve. Had I more time, I would have tried out some more weapons options. I'll be focusing on the Ranger some more during the next BWE.

Guardian was awesome. Let me say that again. Awesome! I used a hammer as soon as I could, and I felt like a god. I loved combat with the Guardian. It felt like I was actually "messing sh** up" and not just swinging around a giant, featherweight, 2-handed hammer. I'll definitely be playing one at launch.

The Elementalist was everything I wanted in a magic user and more. The attunements were wonderful. The healer in me liked Water; I had fun healing some of the tougher dynamic events. I tried to push my limits with the Elementalist, switching in and out of various attunements during combat and figuring out what worked best with what. With my staff, I found myself spending a lot of time going from fire (initial dmg) to water (snare/quickie heal) to air (knockback) to fire (finish em off). I'm pretty sure the Elementalist will be my main class at launch.
(edit: I'd also like to state that if anyone loved the Druid class in WoW -- but couldn't find anything remotely similar to it in other games -- ought to give the Elementalist a whirl.)

I'd love to hear what the rest of you thought about the classes you played.

Beta weekend was a lot of fun.

Thankfully I had no lag until Sunday evening around 8pm EST. Agree about the world events or area events. They where a lot of fun to jump in and tackle and I was amazed at how helpful folks where, I would die and several would run over to help me rezz or kill the mobs beating on me. I tried pvp but at level 2 I was getting my butt handed to me. LOL

I hope they work some of the bugs out as GW2 looks like it could be a very fun game up and thru end game.

I feel the same way. During the large scale pvp the lag was insane but I still had a blast!

I hope the next weekend isn't too far away!

Posted from my Android Sony Xperia Play.

The servers just shut down in a blaze of lag. Champion mobs spawning everywhere.

Even with the lag and crashes when in mass fights, it was a fun! Working together in stead of kill/loot stealing. Taking part in dynamic events without the need to be at a particular point in a quest chain. People joining up without lfg spam. Reviving people without being a dedicated healer. Thank you ArenaNet for putting the multiplayer back into MMORPG.

Episode 597 - Voyager - "Spirit Folk" - 02/23/2000

Problems arise from running the holographic Irish village of Fair Haven non-stop, when a malfunction leads the holographic characters to become self-aware.

Enjoy!

So why did Billy erect a force field? And where was he at the end? I went right and got nothing but an ambush.

Support given :)

Probably should have done this earlier in the weekend but I just created our recruitment post on the official Guild Wars 2 beta forums.

If you have beta access and wish to reply saying how much you love Stonewall, it would be greatly appreciated :)

Loved it! Another excellent mission! I left a review ingame too! :D

It's a great mission, I'd recommend it to everyone!

Looks cool.

Hey folks.

I've published my third Foundry mission, "The Mayns of Balnar Moon". Any feedback you can give would be hugely appreciated! :)



Mission title: The Mayns of Balnar Moon
Author: @alimac30
Project ID: ST-HU34EAKM7
Faction: FED
Minimum rank required to play: Any rank
First published: 22 April 2012

Synopsis:

Five months ago, Balnar Moon was plunged into icy darkness as it began passing through the shadow of a gas giant. The ocean covering the moon’s entire surface froze solid and the only structure – a lonely Starfleet research platform – was left to a small team of caretakers. Now it’s time for Starfleet to return… but are the caretakers the only things waiting in the cold on Balnar Moon?

Notes:

• My third Foundry mission
• Takes around 60 minutes to play (depending on optional dialog)
• Story-based, single-player roleplay mission
• Mixture of story, investigation & ground combat
• Every map is a 100% custom build

Hey everyone, I got an idea the other day for a new crafting log. If we keep track of what purple and orange items our characters can make, we may be able to help each other out a little better. That way, if someone really needs or wants an item, they can just message whoever can make the item here on the forum, work out payment/gifting, and make the exchange in-game. I'm working on it as I get the time to compile the data, and I hope to keep my post updated along the way. Hopefully this will help some people out. I'm including my character, faction, item name (http://swtor.askmrrobot.com/gear has a great site for checking out specs), rating of the item, and minimum level to use the item.

Hope this helps!


PS - website I used to generate my table that I copied and pasted from excel is http://pressbin.com/tools/excel_to_html_table/index.html, but I had to change the "" to "[" "]" so it'd post right on this forum.

I put it at 11pm my time which is GMT+1 (British Summer Time). I've been told that the time in the event system should show correctly for whatever time zone you're in. Is Belgium GMT+1? :)

If it is then it's the correct time for you :) if not then err...

No, summer time here is +2. Midnight it is then. I hope the guild chat will work again by then.
