I am just gutted that I'll be away from home that day.

EVENT UPDATE!

Please be advised, that due to the technical challenges of implementing an event of this size and scope, your hosts will be unable to allow anyone to join the event, after it has started. For this reason, we ask that everyone planning on joining us for the event, arrive at the Stonewall fleet starbase (interior) at the scheduled event time.

Additionally, please be advised that the use of Transwarp abilities will not be permitted during the event. This measure is being taken in order to ensure that those people who have high ranking characters don't have a sweeping advantage over those who don't have access to those abilities.

See you all there!

I have a couple of pictures here from the second BWE.

Yes that is correct, weapon and armor all works like that, though the distribution of said stats can be slightly different.

Oh my bad, I had it set to "friends only". Should be ok now :)

Somebody has started to put together a map with the locations of the crafting nodes: http://gw2craftmap.bteamgaming.com/

Nicely done, even with a description on how to get to the farms. I had noticed the potato farm icons on the map but figured it was bugged, it took me a while to notice that there was a floating platform.

Takes some of the exploration out of it but if you need something specific it would be useful :)

If you need something, it's hard to remember where you have gathered it before.

I'm still not sure how armour and weapons stats work in guild wars 2. As i understand it all same level gear has the same stats. A looted helmet, a crafted helmet and a dungeon helmet of level 35 all have the same stats but different skin. I assume the guild weapons and armour merchants will sell weapons and armour with the same stats but a different skin.

Episode 683 - Enterprise - "Regeneration" - 05/07/2003

A group of Borg (from Star Trek: First Contact) are revived after a century frozen in Arctic ice.

Enjoy!

Yeah I'm sure you don't have to wear the bib lol. We have to spend influence to unlock Weapons and Armor merchants that have the guild emblem on them. Then you'll just an Transmogoificationunficationsuperduperskinswapper (name may differ in game) stone (which I think you buy from the gem store) to use the "skin" of the guild armor/weapon on whatever piece of armour you have that has the best stats.

As much as I share the hatred for bibs (I hated them in WoW!), I love having my emblem on my person. Dark age of Camelot you used to show your guild emblem on shields and cloaks and seeing an army of people all with the emblem proudly tattooed on their armour is a sight to behold.

I think we should unlock the emblem creator as soon as possible and I'll let you all have free run with it for a while and we'll try and come up with something we're all happy with. Then I think we should turn our attention to the Guild Bank (at least the smallest one) after that maybe we can focus on unlocking the armour and weapons merchants. To be honest I don't imagine many of us will want to spend gems every time we get a better stated piece of equipment to switch the "skin" and thus I think as long as we unlock them before we all start hitting level 80, it should be fine.

Oh, yeah, i knew who that was -_- for sure >.>

This was my attempt :) i though with the shield and the helmet, the whole "stonewall vanguard" theme was touched, and the wings show the diversity really well!

I love the idea of Kormir (the person in the helmet) representing stonewall, given her story in GW1, and the shield representing vanguard. It's all quite fitting =)

This was my attempt :) i though with the shield and the helmet, the whole "stonewall vanguard" theme was touched, and the wings show the diversity really well!

lol I'm sure they'll offer an option to hide it outside of PvP like they did in the original Guild Wars if anyone doesn't like the final decision. :) As sure as I am that there will be a ton more emblem options come August 25/28. I can't fathom why they would make 400+ different dyes but not more options for guild emblems :P

Seems like there will be plenty of time to play with the ingame editor and come up with a decision. We have to spend influence on Politics, the Guild Emblem, then after that - Guild Armor and Guild Weapons in order to display it (from what I've read). Not sure if you have to spend influence for it to show in WvW/PvP.

I've seen photos of where the emblems show up and I'm not sure I'm sold on wearing one now if it looks like a bib lol. Let's not look like we are going to all you can eat night at the Crab Shack :)

I didnt see any threads about this well not on the main page, so you can just share your Guild Wars2 screenshots here.

I didnt take a lot of screenshots but heres my beta screenshots yet:


[attachment=973]gw001.jpg[/attachment]

^ My Asura mesmer. You can compare the height with a Norn npc. I made my Asura the shortest and most slim I could in the character creation screen. I wonder if the norn npc was at full height or not.. lol


[attachment=974]gw003.jpg[/attachment]

^ My first and last BWE characters selection screen. The Sylvari Elementalist you see is my new and updated look for my Elementalist and possibly all Sylvari future characters. The level6 was my first Sylvari look. I updated/replaced the look for the level1 Sylvari Elementalist. You cant see him well on the screen but he have red eyes and cat pupil. Giving him the look of a demon.

My Human,Norn looks like a little me in real life. More the human.

The Asura is my old look I used in beta.

The reason they are naked is I did gather all my gold before the BWE ends and turned it in gems. I dont expect it will carry to live GW2 but its worth trying.


[attachment=975]gw004.jpg[/attachment]

^ My new updated Asura look. The Asura from characters selection pic is a bit different.

For some ???Reason I couldnt manage to get the whole face black.

---

All my characters will be short/most slim I can in the creation screen and dark skin color except my Human/Norn (skin wasnt dark enough for my taste so i tried to gave em my real life look instead.).

Reasons: Dark skin color = harder to spot night time.

Short/Slim = If i decide to do PvP (im mostly PvE but who knows maybe I change my mind) it is an advantage because its more annoying to fight against. Being short in some games is also an advantage like in WoW: A gnome can go easily in empty fireplaces or hide in a small place that other races cant because they are too big. I managed to hide/get out of combat in WoW using these tricks back when I had a gnome toon.


Share your GW2 pics if you have some!

I played around with the creator a bit. :P
