you mean like a demo system. Like in half-life 2? THat would be cool, smaller file sizes and maybe it would let us watch them in the cleint while we wait for BWE.


Edit: Heh its to late now.

Anybody got the video and care to host it ? I never got to see it. I just DE installed Bit Torrent a few days ago, but now when I installed it again, I can't connect. I believe nobody is sharing at the moment.

Anybody hosting it ?

Please

Here's my story of how the March BWE went, wow she really did go psycho...

My bf and I were playing past Ft. Ranik, we had just finished the mission, and went on a Quest in the wilderness, I watched the clock expecting at three the game to shut down. I'm in the EST time zone so thats when it would end for us. Three O'clock came around and we decided to finish the quest, which we did, but when we got back to the nearest town, the small outpost there [Wow I forget the name I'm so horrible!], before the screen could even load fully there was a rumble and suddenly we were just dead without any word.

All it said was "Thank you for playing guild wars" and Gwen skipped by my dead body, my bf was to the right of me, oh wow I wish I had screenshots of that.

It was exactly 3:07am when we went back to the town, then at about 3:10am the game froze, meaning the server was cut off completely I suppose.

It was still awesome, and completely unexpected...

I wonder if Gwen will be there for future maintenance reasons... a good way to kill off everyone and force us to quit?

By the way, what is the Ripped Tapestry she gives you for? She gave it to me and it said it was a quest Item, but I never could figure it out by the end...

Also, what does that one guy want for his daughter? I had the feather, the pearl, I forget what else, but she wouldn't take any of it. Or rather I gave it to her but got no experience. My BF tried giving the guy the feather, the pearl, etc etc, and he wouldn't take it.


Ack sorry this is off topic, FORGIVE ME!

The Gwen thing is awesome, I hate her yet love her in a twisted I-want-to-kill-you-for-killing-me sort of way...

Anybody care to Torrent it again. All the links are inactive. I can't get over it that I can't get it. I want to see it. The fact that it is unavailable , makes it even worse for me.

Come one!

So...I take it that she's an Elementalist with lvl 100 atributes.

EDIT: Just watched that "thriller" vid and thought that was hillarious.
Was that a glitch or was that a part of some April fools joke.

Before I came to this thread... I hated Gwen. I wanted nothing than to see her cast into the shadows of oblivion. Then I saw all the screenshots and the thriller movie.

Wow. She's my new hero.

I always liked Gwen, my adventures with her through the wilderness, it was like.. Frankinstien or something.. Ah.

But now, noo! She has to stay in doors becuase their are devourers around. I tell you, we used to fight alot harder stuff! Giant bears! Skale thingies! Drake thingies! I was so hurt and disapointed the first time I used henchmen

I want Gwen! Gwen, Gwen!

All the Anti-Gwen's deserved it!

Okaaaayyy! Finally us non-Beta latecomers (whose search-Fu was weak) find out what happened to little Gwen. Heh.

Did she leave you alone if you'd still got the tapestry scrap?

I hereby resurrect this post!

This vid is great and anyone who hasn't seen it yet needs to download it - regardless of how old it is, lol.

Just right click and save-as on the [non-torrent] link.

Or just right-click, save-as here.

Just saw the vid and it was pretty cool.
I've only been playing for about 3 months but have downloaded numerous Guild Wars videos that I've found on forums and I've always wondered about a few things.

1. How come Gwen was in Lion's Arch and some other places?
2. How come spells could be cast in towns?
3. Why was everybody dying when it looked like there was nothing to fight?

This thread explained it all but raised another.
That part where Gwen pops up from the ground, was it just perfect timing or what?
One guy goes "wtf?" so I assume it wasn't planned.
And Gwen even says "Thriller dancers, time to die".
Did everybody just die at the end of BWE at the hands of Gwen?

Well, I wasn't there in the beta weekends (besides the non-preorders), but I can tell you this. Gwen is actually saying, "Ok. Thriller Dancer A, time to die."

Seems she said that to alot of people, lol. So if I was on my W/Mo that I have now, the evil pyro would have said, "Ok. Soul Surviva, time to die."

Everyone died like that...those that didn't manage to escape into a mission or something. Supposedly you could warp to a different town and be rezz'd automatically...just to meet another fiery death, lol.

Yup my mistake.
Based on the screenies, it'd be a character's name followed by time to die.

That looked great!!
I wish there's something in store for us who weren't there during beta.
Halloween for example, and all the other holidays.

Problem is, Halloween falls on the 31st of October, how would they calculate the time difference?
Its easier to hit for an event, for example the end of BWE.
When I hit Halloween here in Melbourne (GMT-8:00), it'd be a good 18 hours before America (PST) hits 31st October.
Unless Halloween in Tyria lasts for more than 24 hours

Why ArenaNet hasn't yet done something like this since release leaves me in a state of confusion.
