5 short little days...

The 5 races of GW2

• Asura - www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/races/asura/ - "You give a new meaning to the term "counter-intelligence.""
  
• Sylvari - www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/races/sylvari/ - "Believe those who are seeking the truth. Doubt those who say they have found it."
  
• Human - www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/races/human/ - "Salvation is something you must stand and protect; it doesn’t come just because you are looking for it."
  
• Norn - www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/races/norn/ - "Never anger a Norn."
  
• Charr - www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/races/charr/ - "I'm not impressed."
  

With Asura being the bestest of all!!! "I've been thinking about the Charr. I think they can be domesticated."

In the playthrough videos I've watched, I love how the Asura are so pompous to one another. Even when giving compliments, there is always a backhanded jibe (e.g., "You're not a dumb as you look"). I also think that the Asura got the most interesting starting zone.

Just downloaded a huge file on the GW2 launcher. Man these last days are going to go by slow.

[jade]

yeah they do plus we have a big family party this weekend, so who knows when I'll be able to log in!

[ashnak]

Don't they know it is the biggest Launch of your life?

Hope you are able to see family that you haven't seen for awhile. It is always good to see them...cause you can leave at any time! oops!

Have a good time and stay safe!

Why do you tempt me, orion?

I love dungeons. I love dungeons a lot. When someone tells me about a new MMO, my first question will be what dungeons it has. Whenever I think of WoW, I think of a dungeon. I wouldn't like the Legend of Zelda if it didn't have dungeons. I quit SWTOR because no one on my server wanted to run dungeons. Dungeons. Dungeons. DUNGEONS.

So imagine my pain when, but 5 days away from the launch of Guild Wars 2, you link a video in chat about a dungeon. I feel hurt. Betrayed, almost. Not by you, dear Orion, but by FATE.

Now I must have an inner battle with myself. Shall I click the video and reveal the splendor of the dungeon to my two eyes, ready to lap up everything in the video like a dog sips from a water bowl? Or do I wait, choosing instead to ignore my addiction, standing by my previous vow to not look at any of the dungeons until I see them from the eyes of my sylvari mesmer in-game?

Woe is me, Orion. You have delivered a curse upon me and my family.

In all seriousness though, I've made a vow not to look at any dungeon videos. I really, really want to, though. I'm going to be racking guild chat for all dungeon participants many, many, many, many times throughout my leveling experience. I hope you all love dungeons as much as I do. 4 more days.

Pinch me Orion, I must be dreaming!

[pottedfern]

I want to get a nap in on Friday, but I fear that such a thing will be impossible. how will I be able to sleep knowing that my dream MMO is just around the corner?

But I can feel it. The anticipation is palpable. We are on the verge of MMO history! EJAIFJEWIOAJF

[onestryke]

Yah work goes by faster when i have videos to watch. I also plan on sleeping early on friday and waking up at 3-4am ish if i can and PRAY that the game will be working.

Hurry Up!

I participated in the stress test today. At first I was only going to plan out all of my characters, but then I decided to play a little to 'tide me over' and help give myself a small dose before the big thing hits live servers. What a horrible mistake. Now I'm too excited for GW2. I'm going to play it excessively when it releases, the small snippets of game play so far have had me hooked and begging for more. This stress test only makes it so, so much worse.
