Guild Wars 2 - Game Thread

Hate to open an old topic but does anyone know where i could find a copy of the game. Tried Virgin and Nino Games neither seem to have it. Any help would be appreciated
i guess you could ask someone here if they could lend you their copy, then buy online an official serial number.
There arent any stores in the country that would still sell a copy?
What you can do is buy a digital copy from the website using a credit card or internet card, then get the download from someone.

I played the weekend trial last month but after a few hours of gameplay, I wasn't so impressed, all the dynamic events felt not so dynamic beyond the first zone.
GW2 is having another trial for about a week now and decided that I would give it another chance, however the gameplay of this game is so different from what I am used too and I have no sense of orientation in it, no clue where to go or what to do to actually get the best of things. I'm simply running around "struggling" to complete the tasks ahead of me. The mobs are simply too challenging to solo and the zones are empty, what am I doing wrong?
Any suggestion on what you consider fun for spending a trial week in GW2 would be appreciated.

I just bought the game online for 24$
now I need to download it, and I am terrified at the idea, I am waiting till midnight for the unlimited period to start the client. I hope the download is resumable (I looked online and it is suggested that it is) I also hope a week is enough to download it
If anyone living near jounieh can offer me a data usb or something I'd be grateful...

~17 gigs and you can pause it so no worries although mine got corrupted once and had to get the game files from someone else.
17 to 20 gigs it seems. It is resumable and portable though. I downloaded 4 GB so far(1 mbps ogero connection over 2 days...) and have around 16 to go. I brought it to my work, we have a 4 mbps sodetel dsl and I set a scheduler to begin at 12 am and another scheduler to stop it at 7 am (you learn so many tricks when pressed to a corner...)
So while waiting for these 2 weeks to pass... I have a few questions. Do I get to choose what server I will be one or is it decided for me? (based on my location or the site I bought the serial from)
Which server is more crowded? or are they all almost the same? And finally, is the game really good? To be honest I only saw one good youtube review on it and then bought it(I heard it used to be 70$ then saw it was online for 24$, couldn't resist. pcandparts sells it for 50$ which would end up with me paying 60$ after TVA and getting it delivered.)

Hmm well first you get to pick what server you want to play on, also you can guest on another server when u want.
But i strongly suggest you see a server with people you might know because the point of this whole game is teamwork and as far as i know you can play alone most parts but its not as fun as having couple people helping you and having fun together.
The game is fun at least for a while, the graphics are awesome and the scenery is really good but it got boring eventually since there is a limited amount of things you can do after you get to a certain point, but you should try that for yourself and see.
If you got any more questions i would be happy to answer.

I don't have any friends. But I usually am good at making friends on mmos. I also have my own server which can run teamspeak. That should make me a bit popular. I am thinking european server for 2 reasons, one latency and 2 because people are awake when I am. I played on US servers others mmos, while they were okay, things used to light up at 1~6 am my time.
Anyway, I keep hearing about low frame rates per second in certain locations(forgot what the spot was called) and about the game being really cpu intensive. I don't have the top of the line cpu (i3, 3.30 GHZ 3220 I'm a cost effective guy and always thought VGA was more important in games) Do you notice any low fps?

Read reviews only advice i can give to any MMO.

yes A LOT
Especially because all events are based directly on the map not inside a dungeon or instance so imagine some events with 50+ people running around casting spells and a huge boss doing aoe damage same time. i had times where i couldn't even move.
also there are a lot of maps with events so not all of them are gonna be full with people so no worries.

I didn't like it. Bored after less than a day(6 hours) it seems a lot quest oriented. I don't play an online mmo to be doing quests alone. I joined a supposedly crowded EU server(least that is what the tag said) but it felt so empty... I see some players here and there but no one says anything. No parties, no dungeons and not that many weapons and all those weird items confused me.
I guess it is not a game for everyone...

It is just different then most Mmorpgs out there, i didn't like that there is no tank or healer in the game and u need to keep running so u can't get hit with more then 5 mobs on you that can hit you for half your health, while u have 1 heal for yourself that doesn't heal more then half your health either.
it is like they made every class a damage dealer while some can take a bit more damage then others and use spells to deflect at a certain time and such, it's a game that needs A LOT of teamwork and communication like for example 1 person cast a area shield that you need to go near him really fast to avoid some spell that can kill you instantly.
i would personally give this game a 7.5/10 the graphics are way awesome, there are always events almost every week, staff are friendly, spells and classes can be cool to explore and try for a while, pvp is fun there and its just a change from the major Mmos that look really similar to each other lately.

10/10 on graphics no dispute. But yes like you I disliked that there are no tanks, healers and damage dealers. It's like all the classes are alike except the graphics of the attack is different.
Ah well, it was just 24$ for me. It's funny that I spent more time downloading than playing. I should have paid more attention to the fact that they said "no grinding" personally I love grinding.
