Guild Wars 2

Dear all,

After reading the article about the first beta weekend on August 7th (https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/the-first-beta-weekend-event-begins-august-7/), I noticed the following line:

“Progress earned by beta characters over the course of the weekend will be preserved between BWE1 and BWE2 so that you can continue testing where you left off.”

Now I was wondering, if creating a new character during the beta (which will be lvl 80), will it only be transferred to beta 2 or eventually also be available once the game fully released?
To be honest, I wouldn’t prefer to put a lot of time in a new revenant during the different beta weeks when it eventually will be deleted once the full game releases (even though it will be instantly 80 I would love to play the current game as well as expansion with it to see the new features)

Cheers

I REALLY doubt you will be able to preserve the character. They’re giving lvl 80 so that you can experience the HoT content even if you’re a new player or just want to do it with revenant; what’s more – they’re not going to even let you keep the loot that you’re going to get with your beta slot characters, so I’d be extremely surprised if they’d let you keep the beta character itself.

No, you won’t get your fully geared, level 80 character without having to work for it. I’m surprised you’d even think that might happen.
Besides, the slot in which said character is created is a beta slot, and will be removed once betas are over.

I am positive the slate will be wiped clean once HoT drops.

We had persistent characters in the latter part of beta testing in 2012 too. It all got wiped. Don’t fall victim to wishful thinking, OP, you are only manufacturing your own disappointment.
