    I definitely got the impression that people were ignoring guild chat. It was good during the first beta weekend, but got progressively worse thereafter. I'm not sure why.

    I often just completely missed that stuff was being said with it situated way down in the bottom corner. I'm going to see if it's still an issue this weekend, or if I can move it.

    I wasn't even on the same server as the guild the last few BTW because I missed the free world transfers.

  • I was ignoring guild chat. A large mix of seeing nothing worth responding to, not noticing the chat box in general, and not having a clue who most of the people were at the time.
  • To rectify this problem, you can make a second window and filter it to only show guild party and tell chat. It helps tremendously.

    Or you can be like me and disable everything but guild and quest.
  • MyrmidonMyrmidon Baron von Puttenham California Icrontian
    Yeah, but then you'd be like Thrax. <3

    They cranked the graphics up with this stress test and both @Thrax's and my video cards crawled on ultra settings.

    I don't think this would have addressed any of my reasonings for ignoring the chat. Why? Because I done did that.

    Also, let me streamline that list: 1) nothing said worth responding to

    That's a pretty dick thing to say when most of guild chat that I saw was along the lines of: "Is anyone else online? Is there anyone interested in running hearts together? I'm having trouble staying alive, any pointers?" Mad props to @Thrax and @SpencerForHire for being the only people I ever saw provide advice for the third question. Even saying a simple "No, I'd prefer to solo right now" or "No, I'm PvPing" would've at least been polite.
  • Yes, I do believe our guild name is going to be glorious... (Tis a secret to everyone).

    I think It's 2 AM when all the servers go live. and the game gets released for Pre-orders.
  • They have said things may begin to come online starting up to 3 hours early. The officially stated time is 3am EST.

    For reference there is a countdown here: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/

    My plans for it is, play from 2 hours at night, then go to sleep for 4 hours, wake up and play through the 25th-26th all day and night.
  • RexxarRexxar Maryland Icrontian
    I’m debating whether or not I will get up at 2 am to play this. I really like sleep, but I also really like gaming.
  • Be a man. Do the right thing.

    ArenaNet has mentioned they "may" turn on servers as much as 3 hours earlier.

    Take it how you want.

    This is something I find myself saying when I have to work in an hour but find myself reading comics anyways.
