Aw man. Why do I have to be a groomsman? haha. I played for the first time today, but only got to play for about 20 minutes. It was so great. Also, where'd you guys get those cool signature things?

Was able to finally log into a stress test and what? I rubber banded all over the place  sucked. Played acouple beta's but didn't want to ruin my day 1 start by being bored with lower lvl area's. So hope they don't have this issue at start, would ruin game for me. |

oh yeah - and they said on their website that people would be experiencing this and to not worry - it was just an effect of the test, and in no way was representative of the game at launch |

I agree with Jade. They warned us. I'm assuming as a network / systems admin myself that they were testing resource loads on their server farms. They likely have a very large virtualization environment and provision these servers as virtual servers that they can expand resources to on the fly. I'm sure they were testing around with load balancing and trending the amount of resources needed per player. At least, that's what I would be doing... I'm sure Kipp as well... Perfmon, disk I/O, cpu / ram util, etc etc.

How was last nights test for others? What did you try? Pve? Any pvp? We are away for a wedding this weekend, so this is an opportunity to enjoy the game vicariously a little ...before I get too drunk to read! |

Last night's test definitely fell into the "stress" category. Lots of lag and rubberbanding across the board: PvE, PvP and WvW. But the game looks great!

Lots of rubberbanding and lag. cause me a couple deaths. I wanted to climb the jumping puzzle spiral in the sylvari starting area to tame a spider on the hunter i was playing but knew i'd fall off and get frustrated because of the lag. I did go on a taming spree in other areas and got about 18-20 pets in the last hour and a half.
At the close of the test they did announce that the lag issue was due to a internet issue with gw and gw2 and would be solved by release.
