    I remember people talking about a ¨june release¨, and the ¨haters¨, like me, saying that the game is not even close to be ready.

    The betas are a bonus, and only a bonus.

    i havent pre-purchased yet because I'd like to see launch date (i'm tight on funds)

    but i will be buying gw2 :)

    what does a release have to do with it? When you have the cash buy it and be done with it that way you dont need to worry about it later :)

     

    I know I am playing it, pay now or pay later makes no difference to me.

    Don't care when the release date is tbh... When it gets here it gets here.

    Beta events are all good tho :)

    Not going to happen. It will undermine the whole pre-purchase thing.

    Hope they fixed meele in large scale events or I'll be really disappointed.

    Well the Asura will likely be playable, because there's a ton of leaked beta footage of their starter zone. Just check the reddit forums. Sylvari, maybe not, because their whole zone needs optimizing.

    Played a number of times including the first event,  I honestly have no compulsion to play until it releases... I wish there was a simple way to hand over access to others for each test... like if they sent new keys out for each test.. I could then pass them along...

    Except ArenaNet have already stated that some press sites WILL be handing out beta keys for this event.

    Pre-purchase merely guarantees access to beta events, in lieu of playing the beta key lottery...

    tweet: Pre-purchase guarantees access, but we'll have beta keys giveaways through some of our media partners. Watch here for news. ~RB2

    fair play to Arena-net for taking their time on this game and not rushing it out the door unfinished like every other mmo.

    I played it enough to know I want to purchase it.  Now, I have to fight the urge to hop back on.  I get so attached, having to replay them later... I just don't want to spoil this anymore than I already have.

    I can admit when I'm wrong.

    All's I got to say is WOW, you kids today are impatient, do you want a broken game , yes you do so you can find something else to whine about, I think you people do this on purpose because kids today whine if a game is release to early with bugs and to late because they want to play so they can complain.

    priceless!

    Hype will be back on x1000 after next BWE, even if it has died down a bit right now.

    Hell, I'd be 100% comfortable to play the game as is (release NOW) because I'm old school enough to not complain about bugs/broken content and accept changes.

    Being a younger generation gamer <20, I would like to apologize for the overall generalization this generation has brought to the MMO world. I come from an older MMO so I tend to be more patient than the rest of them, but I must admit, it is a bit embarrassing with how impatient and quick to rage my generation is. Please do not think we are all like that though, I know for sure there are some that understand how some things work. And can be patient.

    Again, my apologies.

    Sincerely, a young gamer.

    P.S. I can't wait for this BWE!!!

    6 weeks isn't really 2 months, but fine, I want it to release soon as well.

    Not however for the cost of releasing the game in a bad shape. While it still was better than many released MMOs the problems they had last BWE would have been a real issue to be upset about if it happened during launch day so let the game get ready before releasing it.

    Heretic!! I hope you have your flame proof suit on, AN's legions of True Believers will not be amused. ^^  If AN ever gets around to actually launching the game, I plan to try it.  But they have delayed and delayed (and delayed) so much at this point, that I have other games that are keeping me entertained.  I have NO idea how they have managed to keep any but their hard core True Believers interested in the game, but thats between them and the Faithful.  <shrug>

    I guess, the producer of GW2 can't let people play in a day by day beta until release. Since this game isn't a monthly paid game, the content would be examined by intense players in just a few days - and at the end it suppose to be staying alive with the PvP part of the game -  with three different parties fighting with each for dominance in a PvP area  (like in the good old game 'Dark Age of Camelot' )  ...

    Why, when I was your age all we had was a tennis simulator that consisted of a black screen, two white lines and a square we had to bounce back and forth!  You kids today with your hair and your rock music!  You don't know how good you've got it!

    Hell, you youngsters with your screens! Back in The Day(tm) we stored our programs on boxes of punch cards, and printed them out on paper! Kids these days don't know how good they have it. Now get off my lawn! ^^
