That's more than likely fake. People are doing it on Reddit - they're going to beta.guildwars2.com/account/done and just taking a screenshot.

If he just revealed that he's in beta, he's already broken the NDA and he'll be kicked out.

As of a couple of hours ago, the guildwars2 twitter account said that no beta invites had been sent out to members of the public yet, only press.

Actually not true.. they did start sending them out and will continue to do so "over the next few days".

I would like to say "I better get one or else..." but lets face it, I'm buying this game no matter what. :s :rofl:

I'd still say that, regardless of buying it. Cause after 5 years i've gotten a little impatient.

5 years with hundreds of dollars and thousands of hours invested into GW1(I checked a week or so ago, over 2400 hours :rofl: ). It would be nice if they could somehow give a bonus "chance" if you've had an account with all expansions on, ce versions, as well.

Really though, while I will be really disappointed if I don't get in I wouldn't mind it so much.

I've thought something kinda similar. I thought that those who played and supported gw1(a moderate to large amount) before gw2 was announced(2005/2006) should have slightly higher chances in beta invites.

As for hours of gw1... Mines, uh, over 50% higher than yours. (yeah, i played too much back then in 2006-2008, lol)

The last beta I was accepted into that was a closed beta that was actually CLOSED was um... well never. Yet I apply for all of them, and keep my system info up to date, along with account info and subscription. So not getting in to GW2 beta would be a "meh" situation. I'll buy it when it comes out and call it good.

Good to see that the download client hasn't changed at all from the first game. http://i.imgur.com/eBG6X.jpg

You can still create a shortcut to it and add the useful commands like the "-image" one.

No, I'm pretty sure the invites have finished going out now.

Yea, I am thinking the same, they want to get everyone ready for the Beta release. That way everyone will hit the server hard instead of all having to download and waste in-game time.

The game is pretty expensive ?50.00 in the UK just for the standard edition. CE is ?129.99 and the Deluxe Digital edition is ?64.99.

I think I'll wait until the game has released before I pick up a copy I'm not willing to bet ?50.00 that the game will be good.

No one has confirmed prices yet. These are RRP from NCSoft - direct from them in the case of the digital versions, and suggested retail price for the CE. This is always the case - publishers charge way more than retailers do. Look at how much Microsoft charge for new PC games on GFWL.

Wait til April 10th when proper retailers are able to sell pre-purchase packs and pre-orders, the price will be more like normal.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Microsoft's new Xbox Shutdown change promises massive power efficiency gains

      We need a game update frequency setting. * Right now your recent games will be auto updated overnight, and your unrecent games won't be updated. The bifurcation of recent and unrecent is fine, but we should be able to control the update frequency for both, with any of the following options: 1. Don't auto update 2. Auto update weekly 3. Auto update overnight 3. Auto update immediately (push) i.e. When I'm playing a lot, I want my recently played games to have push updates, so if a dev releases an update at 4pm, it's already downloaded on my Xbox by the time I get home. The current overnight cadence leaves a lot of wasted time waiting for updates on slow connections. My infrequently played games in ok with deferring to overnight, or maybe weekly, but let the users control their frequency. Basing it on data and last played sounds smart but ignores the human reality that often when I'm busiest and have the least time for games is when it sucks the most to come home and find a huge update list waiting for you.

      Genocide is intent to exterminate and both the Israeli government AND its people openly declare, even boast about their intent to exterminate Arabs. This society of sick psychopaths has even made songs about it. Zionist means believing Israel should exist as an religious ethno-state where only Jews have rights and everyone else is second class citizen. As for the blood libel thing, we already know zionists get off on killing children. We also know Israel is a safe heaven for all the pedophiles and rapists of the world. Honestly, after what we saw in the Epstein files, I wouldn't put anything past this depraved death cult. Of course all atrocities committed by tHe wOrLds mOsT mOrAl aRmY are always "unproven or taken out of context". Unfortunately for them, their soldiers are dumb enough to leave a trail of their war crimes all over social media. Then again, when you live in a society that's obsessed with death and destruction, posting videos of yourself in the act of ransacking homes and desecrating religious monuments earns you brownie points I guess. Israel is the only society in the world where people come out on the roads for the right to **** prisoners. Also claiming that the BBC said this and AP said that without so much as a link has gotten me curious. Are all zionists this dumb? I really hope you aren't getting paid for this because this is some low effort propaganda.

    • Microsoft is bringing big performance improvements to OneDrive on Mac

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Microsoft is bringing big performance improvements to OneDrive on Mac by Taras Buria Microsoft has announced a major update for the OneDrive client on macOS. Today, the company released version 26.098, promising significantly faster sync, optimized CPU usage, a smaller memory footprint, and better energy efficiency. In a newly published blog post, Microsoft acknowledged that changes implemented in OneDrive for Mac in 2022 brought some unwanted side effects. Due to architectural changes and the need to keep the OneDrive sync engine unchanged, Microsoft created a hidden cache folder. With time, it would cause reliability and performance issues for customers. Now, Microsoft is ditching the old engine for native sync, delivering a faster, more reliable experience. As a result of this change, OneDrive for Mac now integrates more deeply into the operating system, offers about two times faster sync performance, and uses fewer system resources. While the hidden folder still exists, the app only uses it to store files that have not been uploaded yet, link file types, and macOS-related packages. In total, even when holding hundreds of files, the temporary folder does not take more than a couple of megabytes on the drive. Besides optimizations, the new sync engine enables external drive support, allowing you to keep your OneDrive folder on a removable drive (it should meet all the requirements). Microsoft is now rolling out the updated OneDrive client for Microsoft 365 Insiders. To check if your Mac has the new sync engine, go to the About tab and check the app version. If it ends with something like 26H, you are on the new engine. If not, you are on the old one. Microsoft says it will take a few weeks to complete the rollout to Insiders, but it won't say when to expect the update in the stable channel. Big performance updates for OneDrive on Mac came right after Microsoft confirmed it would soon kill document editing in Office 2019 for Mac due to expiring certificates. This change will force users to look for alternatives or switch to Microsoft 365.

      Sorry but that makes no sense. What does using the same laptop have to do with anything?
