Guild Wars 2

Not sure. I’m listening to the new Soundgarden album. Off topic.

Day Of Event Update

Not sorry about taking the day off for this. The event may be having technical difficulties but reading the forums with a bourbon in hand is making up for that. My job is to maintain critical data center up-time, so sitting back for once and not being the one on the firing line is a nice change of pace.

As a chap who is responsible for putting software into those data centres that are hopefully “enjoyed” by 1000s of people around the world I couldn’t agree more. Scalability issues are actually nice things to have as a company – it at least indicates that you’re doing things right and people are coming to the party!

How long they stay is up to the quality of the service!

We all had a blast in the first 45mins – where were you?

Really?

Nope….. “cry” [/end sarcasm]

If one time events = 20secs of video then massive lagfest then I’m all for skipping them.

We all had a blast in the first 45mins – where were you?

Pathetic at almost every level. Have bailed on this one and will try again tomorrow. Highest concurrency my kitten

Been running the preview version of win8 as i seriously needed a reinstall of win7 as it had gone quite loopy. Seen no issues with gw2 in the last month while playing so all would seem good.

Would actively steer clear of win8 though and go for win7 unless you like using an OS that’s designed for touch using your mouse (you won’t). Next time I can be bothered to rebuild (end of preview in Jan) I will be going straight back to win7!

Really enjoyed the bits I’ve done but not really taken it too seriously. Only been at GW2 for the last couple of weeks and so Halloween has been a nice distraction while getting on with the task of leveling a Sylvari Ele. Had a bounce on the tower and couldn’t be bothered, ToT’d a few doors, hacked a few pumpkins but gave up, did the first round of book quests but no more.

The only thing I did do was to get lucky in the BLC stakes. Only opened up three or four I think while I was leveling but ended up with a chain sword which was promptly sold on the BLTC once I had enough g to list it! Really sorry to all those who wanted one but missed out as they seem so hard to come by, but I now have more g than I actually know what to do with considering the time I’ve been playing.

So overall I have enjoyed Halloween despite not really taking an active part….
