Redownloading the gw2.dat file got me a file size of 13.6 GB, which is 14,280,302 KB. So even redownloaded/compressed, however it works, the file size is still a minimum of four conventional DVDs.
I remember something similar happening with the gw…
I recall that when I played Everquest the opposite was true. There was little questing to grind, and a lot of learning where to camp and find other players to group with for zones that have higher populations of monsters. When that was the case, e…
The box would have to include a few DVDs to hold content for the most recent datfile. My dat file is already "15.4 gigs". 16,203,520 KB. I can't even carry this on my thumb drives anymore. I'd have to get a 32 gig one to do just that.
The fil…
The Sylvari and Asura content was internally tested by the beta testers that they trusted to maintain their NDA. The open beta is nice for testing scaling problems, but any problems that occurred with massive events can easily be transferred and ch…
I like how I see the secret world ad on the side bars. What components of the secret world would pull players away from Guild Wars 2's fanbase?
I don't see the two being much competition for each other. If you paid for the secret world, I imag…
Though a game like Raiderz would sound fun with a more open-ended PvP, I just somehow feel a cash-shop with a pay to win strategy employed might raise the entry bar too high for new players that want to just test the waters.
Maybe if some PvP was…
I do agree on the attitude part. If you play the noble storylines, you can feel how much better the nobility feel compared to the other "inferior" races. Maybe it's just an outlook of having a race that has a more noticeable social ranking. The N…
During the stress test, I went over and over in my head whether my experience were due to lag on my end. Today, my connection went down, and my roommate said, "Was it because I was downloading too many episodes?" When I asked him, "How much were y…
Don't underestimate the hatred that players have for small characters. Sometimes they will go to great lengths to have a gnome dead versus a charr just because of this perceived insult. I remember a friend that told me whenever he saw a short race…
I'll definitely head up towards the north of Wayfarer Hills next time.
My journey through the zone was a backwards experience because I zoned in from Lion's Arch's shortcut portal. I was absolutely clueless as to where I was supposed to go, so …

Loved most of the DEs, there was one where I was destroying pillars against the dredge, and when that event was over, everyone nearby got tossed out of the mines, totally confused by what had happened until they read the chat.
There were a few c…
I thought I read that Orr (Arah) was mentioned to played a huge part in the later end of the GW 2 leveling spectrum. I am assuming Zhaitan is associated with Orr. I have no support for it because I don't even know which forum post it's buried unde…
One way to change the skill system would be using the mouse to draw shapes to represent spells (stars, circle, square, etc.)and press combo buttons to active skills if that tickled your fancy. There are a few online fighting games with such a layou…
This topic is misleading and drowns out the other issues that could be nitpicked about the game. Based on the original post, it should be referring to NPC interaction rather than just misinformation. It's not very specific.
I honestly do see t…
Getting a bit off topic, but Guild Wars 2 hopefully brings the delivery of content that we liked in the original Guild Wars. I want the technical aspects of the original game that I liked to be included.
I find the accessibility of obtaining the …
