I mean comeon, you pop in and out of these threads, flaunting your factual cape of useful information in our face then highjack the thread like you own it. So greedy. And don't tell me you don't, miss. "Oh, my sig. Ya... its got a lot of stuff in it doesn't it... I know... You should check it out, maybe then you would be informed... Not as informed as me thou."
after the several I have had tonight your sig makes me dizzy
Thats not a sig, thats you.
hmm
Thats the typical "I'm better than you get over it" girl laugh right there. I can't believe i found it that fast. the hand in front of the face says it all.
And no, not name calling, just messing around, I don't hate Aerowyn like most.
Originally posted by atticusbc i always got the impression that they'll go into all that once it's launched. it makes sense too when you think about it. core fanbase playing, smooth out the bugs and innevitable launch problems, add in this feature and that (guesting, that extended experience doohickey), maybe increase capacities (for wvw, zones, etc.). then ramp up advertising, throw around all the good scores they get from this site and that (they'll get some bad scores i'm sure, but they'll get good ones too to throw up on banner ads), huck around that ign player's choice award. yeah. makes sense. plus, as we all know, launches can make or break a fanbase and the long-term perception of a game. fewer players at launch means a better launch. and this is the stuff i've come up with off the top of my head in 5 minutes. i'm sure they've thought this one through.
Ya, it was a good move having pre-purchasers as beta testers. You get honest help from people that have invested in it.
i'm sure it doesn't hurt that we sing their praises too. :P i know i've gotten at least one of my friends to prepurchase.
got 8 friends to already pre-purchased and possibly another 4
I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg

Borderline Personal Attacks Sir. You should probably backoff. Aerowyn has helped many here and many of us appreciate her.
If I put /sarcasm next to my post that she has clearly got would that fix anything? honestly, people these days...
No, but it's hardly the subject of the discussion. Either way.
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.

... they should be paying you, dude. you're a gw2 savant and it's not even out yet.
See its not really just that the game is a brilliant design, it's also that those who argue against it really just have weak arguments. Anytime anyone (Aerowyn) destroys someone's argument with the truth and facts, they just can't handle it so the next logical step is to name call.

most hate me? well that'a depressing
Crap, Srorry, I didn't want to tell you this in person... It slipped. but GW2 fans still care about you... at least the ones who actually like the game it seems...
hard to tell sometimes..
Thats the "I bought the game but hate the community but bought it out of spite" people. Don;t let them fool you, they don't actually like the game.
I get it and It made me lol. Humor is in low supply around here.

Don't worry Aerowyn, the important ones don't hate you. They recognize that you are just trying to get the true word out about a game that you love. I get it. (even tho I'm not one of the important ones!) And so do the ones that count. As in, the ones who can handle the truth without resorting to namecalling even if they disagree.
Although, who in their right mind would disagree that GW2 is the epitome of awesome?????
You want me to pay to play a game I already paid for???
lables labels labels... funny how you stick labels on people then call me young an naive.. either way I been around these forums a lot lately(obviously) and have seen a trend of the same posts over and over and over.. someone who doesn't have any interest in the game comes and says all the fans act like or are saying the game is like the second coming of jesus and two the person who says they dislike the game yet for some reason bought it anyway.. could list about 5 others I have seen at least 20 times in the last couple days but either way it feels like they are reading from a preset manual. At least I'm trying to help the communty gain information about this game..
"She is the defender that GW2 deserves, not the one haters want to see. So they bash her. Because she can take it. Because she's not our spokesman. She's an avid forum poster, a provayer of facts, a GW2 fan."
maybe I need a mask or something:P
LOL...What was the other quote? "You either die the hero or live long enough to to see yourself become the become the villain"
Sounds like you've become something of a target Aerowyn! I wouldn't worry about it. In a few days all this will seem a million miles away. Save your strength and energy becuase you are going to need it as we explore Tyria. These ongoing arguments are pointless. Its like Evolution vs Creationists neither side is going to convince the oher no matter how much eveidence, videos, reviews or blog posts you provide or cite.
We can't even agree on semantics or the definition of words. If we can't agree what words like "raid" or "P2W" mean how can we even have a meaningful discussion. Better to use your energies trying to inform and educate those who really have questions about the game as you have done with your video compilation. (not try and conviince those who either can't, won't or refuse to understand)
By putting yourself out there you will only open yourself up to their venom, labels and ridicule.
I suggest you spend the last few days like I am. Watching all the great fan produced videos, listening to the sound track, picking out names, playing with the calculators and planning what I'm going to do my first few hours in game. (and now playing in another stress test).
While the board may be a liitle thin on GW2 threads for a week or so while we are all in game (to the person who wants to talk about other titles) the flood gates of all types of new GW2 threads is bout to open as people are going to be posting about their experiences, posting screenshots and videos, asking for assistance with builds etc.
As for a lot of us we will be posting on the official boards with bug reports and problem issues which we have been doing throughout all the bwe's and stress tests. Arenanet has been doing a great job of taking this info to make changes and improvements and fixes. I guess that's surprising to all the people who label us "fanbois" because we would never question Arenanet and blindly follow the perfect next thing to Jesus!!!!!!

Originally posted by Honner I do not see GW2 anywhere on the internet unless I look for it, and with less than 5 days until launch, makes me think if they are going to do some advertisement at all. what do you think?
they probably looked at the pre-purchased/pre-order numbers and figure they don't need to waiste the money on it.. just a guess but might be why.
I agree. A lot of their advertising has been word of mouth through the internet. amirite?!

Why bother? It is better if people pick the game up during a longer period than 95% of all copies get sold during the first week like TOR.
Word of the game will be spread by its players anyways.
