    Yeah it's gonna be a wipe, except for the headstart you get with preorder and pre-purchase (just a reminder only pre-purchase will gove you beta access, not pre-order)

    It's also the only way to get the three day headstart.  I *think* pre-ordering will give people a one day headstart though.

    I'm guessing pre-purchase is nonrefundable and pre-order  you can cancel ..... is that the difference?

    Unlight?  Have I ever told you that I love you?  Well....I do. You speak your mind while managing to be a pretty supportive chap.  I think that's noble.  I don't always agree with you, but you have a magnanamous (spelling?) spirit.  I will be proud to game by your side. :)

    You know, I've thought the exact same thing. 

    But I know what class/race I want to play after release. So I'm going to play the things I won't be focusing on once the game releases. I dunno though, I kinda wanna be surprised :D

    I might be completely off here but if you can cancel or not should be depending on from which store you buy it from, I guess it could be different rules from store to store. Also yeah pre-purchase is non-refundale.

    If you're not sure I think you should wait and buy it or skip it depending on how you think it looks like after the beta, there will be no NDA next weekend

    I hear ya friend! I don't want to disturb the freshness of the game but I do want to see how it feels. I am going to try and refrain myself to a race/class I don't want to play on release. So, maybe something like a Tauren Druid. hehe. Seriously though, I'm not one to play any type of hunter/ranger class so I may start that just for the feel of the game.

    In the rare case an erection lasts for more than four years, seek immediate medical attention and announce a beta.

    Yes, with posts like this:

    "you are a funny dude, i can say that because combat system in gw2 is like playing with a lucky box and in tera is more like playing devil may cry.

    kiling boss in gw2 is similar to kill pato donald and company in a disney world  and tera is more like killing a god all boss looks épic and scary."

    you certain seem open to giving GW2 an unbiased look.

     

    At any rate, I do hope people go in with reasonable expectations based on what ANet has said and shown this game to be, not fantasies about what they hope this game will be.

    "Loading screens" are not "instances".
    Your personal efforts to troll any game will not, in fact, impact the success or failure of said game.

    Actually, i'd think that would be sad news. They wont get to play

    I dont know if getting into beta is theoretically possible at this moment without preordering or prepurchasing. I know it was before, but id be surprised if they sent out new beta invites at this stage. Even if it is, the chance of getting one was very small before.  

  • EvilGeekEvilGeek Member UncommonPosts: 1,258

    Excellent, can't wait. Great that the NDA will be dropped there will be plenty of differing opinions I'm sure, though the fact that you have to be confident enough to pre-purchase means you're a fan to start with.

    Don't get over hyped people, I was disappointed @ eurogamer when I realised it was just a game, there was no great epiphany just the realisation that I had 40 minutes playing what is the potential of a really great game.

    Having said all that I'm pretty excited right now *grin*

    half those posts will be the crying from those that pre ordered thinking they were suppose to get in the beta

    I'm not afraid to tell trolls what they [need] to hear, even if that means for me to have an forced absence afterwards.

    Start signing up those screen alts right away.
