I'll be right here on mmorpg.com, F5'ing the GW2 general discussion 24/7 and reading the new threads with honeymooning fangasms and skeptics that somehow got their hands on a beta ticket and can't wait to inform us about the bad stuff.
hopefully everyone will be testing the game and finding as many bugs as possible...
Rember a beta test is for finding bugs in the game and stress testing the servers.
Don't worry. That's what the closed beta testers have been doing. These weekend "betas" don't have much in common with the betas of old. Mainly marketing vehicles. Like sneak previews for movies.
Obviously everyone is entitlted to spend their free time as they wish. My personal opinion, but I think that anyone that begins their story quests, runs all dungeons, finds all skill challanges, and tries to unravel a lot about the game is just foolish. Wait until launch
Me personally, I'll be doing what I do in every beta that I participate:
1. Explore the scenery, take in the incredible art work of the world, the ambient sound, see if the world really engulfs me visually and auditory.
2. Get a feel for what dynamic quests and a dynamic world is like.
3. Try out the classes that I am most interested in up to around level 5 or 10. I will not touch story quests.
4. Maybe try my hand at WvWvW.
5. Stress test my gfx card if I can, see how my computer handles the game.
I leave all spoilers, content, stories, dungeons, hidden XYZs for launch I basically see if I can run the game, and how the game feels to me on all levels.

If someone is talking in general chat in a language you dont understand, chances are they're not talking to you. So chill out and stop bitching about it!

Will you be playing all the Professions to help you figure out which will be your main?
Will you be exploring WvWvW trying to find ambush locations and track supply lines ?
Will you be playing Structure PVP to avoid spoilers from PVE?
Will you be exploring the Scenery ?
Will you be dungeon crawling till you know where all the traps are?
Will you be doing all the puzzles ?
What is your plans for Beta Weekend?!?!?
I am going Camping to the park, with friends, outdoor activities, camp fire, laughs and fun. Not wasting a good weekend in front of computer...I will explore all the Features when i buy the game after launch.

Aye, "the eating of the proof is in the pudding", like the French say so aptly.
If you get the stale popcorn I'll get the sour milk. Let's have a real skeptics party in here o/
I mainly want to see if WvWvW runs like a slideshow or not. If it runs well for me on an American server I will see how it runs on an EU server. Other than that I plan on trying out a couple classes and testing the different skills so I can get into the swing of things faster at launch.
Are you a Pavlovian Fish Biscuit Addict? Get Help Now! I will play no more MMORPGs until somethign good comes out!

You can get my opinion! If I get around to playing it.
Stupid beta weekend happened to be the same weekend as the convention I'm going to. Hurgh.
... but I'd like to think of myself as a fairly balanced person. I mean, I obviously like GW2, but I like it because it appears to match what I want, not the other way around. :P
First weekend I'll probably check out a bunch of classes to determine which one I want to play, already having quite a small pool of what I think want to play but might check out some that's not on my radar perhaps I could be blown away by them who knows.

Ouch, too bad of that convention. But really curious about what you will have to say about it.
Of course the first weekend will just be a first glimpse and I have no doubt your opinion will evolve over time, but nonetheless ... Meowhead opinions are first grade opinions.

Tormented echoes of a fallen Eden
I longed for her beauty
Yet from dust, she returned
The dream, an enigma.... silent

What can men do against such reckless hate?
Ehehe I guess I may end in the same way.
Anyway I think to start by testing a human thief, since will be my main at release, then I'll explore other options.

I will be playing something else and reading a book.
That Guild Wars 2 login screen knocked up my wife. Must be the second coming!
First thing will be to pop into the char creation and try to make a really ugly char..

Will be in the Mists killing as many enemy players as I can!
