I just started playing GW2. I played WOW a long time, but it started getting me bored. I heard that there is now possibility to change GW2 character looks in exchange of gems. It's really nice option.

They should release guild wars 2 for linux now that steam is available on linux.

Bought game in physical box to avoid download 20 some gigs on my dirt cheap connection.

Sitting on 600MB downloaded - 8%

Did GW2 expand twice the size since release?

There's been some major patches. I know the latest one was about 600MB in size. There's usually a change every two weeks or so. Regardless of their "small" fixes updates will still be 50MB in size.

Oh and ignore the %. It lies IMO.

I think they take the number of files that need updating and turn it into a percentage.

1 out of 100 files = 1% but that first file might be 100MB in size where the other 99 are only 1KB so you spend a long time at 1% and seconds in the later stages.

Well I will be playing when ~54,600 files will be downloaded.

Yes they've added some fairly large updates to the game in the last few months. And more to come on the 26th of this month, too. When the second phase of the frost and fire event goes live.

It doesn't matter that steam is on linux since gw2 isn't even available on steam to begin with(and probably wont be anytime soon).

While this is true all the GW1 games are available on Steam. So it will likely end up on there sooner or later. That being said, I do not think there are linux versions of the GW1 games, so even if it does appear on steam it probably won't matter as far as linux goes.

The guild missions sound awesome.

Personal reward options vary from luxury goods and new types of items, to fun guild related stuff. One example of a personal reward you can buy I think is especially fun is a transform that turns you into your guild’s banner. It’s perfect for taunting enemies from the walls of a keep in WvW and reminding them who just stomped their face!

Do want.

Patch notes for todays update:

https://forum-en.gui...ebruary-26-2013

As a warrior player the notes are pretty much completely disappointing.

[Blackhearted]

Also, the patch is around 550MB or so and 8800 files.

[trag3dy]

Did anyone notice how in the update notes they say they made chest loot drops better? But at the same time made it so we can only open the worth while ones once every 24 hours? Anet you silly ******.

pre-ordered this, played it before launch (the head start) played the betas.. but for some reason I am just getting bored with this game and just have no want to play it.. It's a great game, hopefully I can get back into it at some point.
