Saw their facebook post about the page going slow and I was like 'what page?'. Then scrolled down to see the sign up post and shat bricks.

#5 Posted by Benny (1633 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

The signup page is busted. But that's what betas are for!

#6 Posted by katanalauncher (215 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

They should've beta tested their servers.

#11 Posted by Tearhead (1855 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

Damn, you need to give the specs of your pc using a program. Have to wait til I get home tonight.

#12 Posted by Adamsons (876 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

Good luck duders.

#13 Posted by Bucketdeth (7938 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

Love me some Guild Wars, hope I got in.

#14 Posted by JammyJesus (751 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

Won't accept UK, England, United Kingdom, Britain or United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

I'm fucked.

#15 Posted by Branwulf (291 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

@JammyJesus:

I got as far as "E" in England and United Kingdom appeared in the menu, so it worked fine for me.

#16 Posted by WinterSnowblind (7377 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

@JammyJesus: I typed in "Sc" and it popped up with UK for me and accepted it fine.

/signed the fuck up :) Thought this day would never come.

#18 Posted by IBurningStar (2003 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

Started to sign up and then everything changed over to German. Something is wrong here.

#19 Posted by Matthew (1890 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

Don't worry (like I did) if it only shows you having one HD or GPU. They sent out a tweet saying there's only room for one field, but it is getting the information about the other components.

#20 Posted by Maystack (869 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

Reading the FAQ I learned that your character names from GW1 carry into the full game. Need to go make a placeholder character just to reserve a name >.>

#21 Posted by RobbieMac (533 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago
@Tearhead: Same.  I left my gaming comp at my parents and all I have is my shitty laptop.  Fortunately I have to head home tomorrow.
#22 Posted by CL60 (16906 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

Why is it in German?

#23 Posted by RandomInternetUser (6779 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

Awesome, dude. Thanks for the link.

#24 Posted by Welding (137 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

#27 Posted by Pandasteeler43 (44 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

Not sure why it was in German but I just got my confirmation e-mail. Really hope I get into this beta.

#28 Posted by TzarStefan (399 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

#29 Posted by Funkydupe (2927 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

#32 Posted by Nihilius (167 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

Not got a conformation email yet. They said it might take a while. :(

#33 Edited by Funkydupe (2927 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

For those of us waiting for the confirmation email:

Guild Wars 2 GuildWars2The system is just a little slow. If you have not gotten one at the end of the weekend, you can request a resend. ~RB

#34 Posted by gike987 (1577 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

They know if you have multiple hard drives so don't worry if you only had a couple of GB free on your primary hard drive:

"If you have more than one HD or graphics card, Scannertron IS indeed sending us the info. It's only displaying one field. ~RB"

#35 Posted by JammyJesus (751 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

It didn't like chrome for some reason.

#36 Posted by Vexxan (4554 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

Pick me pick me pick me!

#37 Posted by Rhombus_Of_Terror (1950 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

@2HeadedNinja: The guild wars 2 twitter confirmed that the spec reader submits all available hard drives even though it displays one.

#38 Posted by Subjugation (4335 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

I suspected this might be the surprise they hinted at on Twitter yesterday, but I didn't allow myself to believe it. Well, now I believe it. Get hype! Hope we all get in duders. Good luck, have batman.

#39 Posted by Fattony12000 (4379 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

SIGNED UP!

I'M VOMITING HYPE!

#40 Posted by shinboy630 (869 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

I got signed up right when this went up, before the site got dominated. GLHB duders, beta Lincoln Force unite!

#41 Posted by Dark_Lord_Spam (2518 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

Ahhhh! 3 hours late! This is what I get for sleeping in.

#42 Edited by SlasherMan (1725 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

@Dark_Lord_Spam: There is more than enough time still. This is not a first come first served kind of thing, either, so no worries.

I signed up, but with my luck, I doubt I'd actually get an invite. Eh, probably for the best anyway, doubt I'd have time to play as much as I'd like.

#43 Posted by Dark_Lord_Spam (2518 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago
@SlasherMan: I'm just upset that I couldn't get the awesome news sooner.
#44 Posted by Jackel2072 (2072 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

hope i get in.

#45 Edited by selfconfessedcynic (1649 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

: / - I "signed up" but have received no confirmation email.

ED: ... yet. I wonder how you request a resend?

Luck to all on this one - although I wont mind it if I don't get in.

They said (I'm pretty sure on twitter) that if you don't get an email by the weekend you can request a resend. I havn't got mine either so I'm in the same boat as you.

#47 Posted by Jayzilla (2391 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

So flippin stoked! I have been waiting for this game since 2007. Sign me up son!

#48 Posted by MrCaptain (273 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

signed up and got the email, I just hope my crappy computer pass. I'm hoping they want know if old computers can run the game.

..probably not

#49 Posted by Largo6661 (275 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

@Branwulf: thanks for this dude ;)

#50 Edited by jakob187 (20685 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

I'd love to sign up for this. Unfortunately, I can't do it because the only computers that I use are the ones at work. = (

I know they could run the game, but I don't know how much a company would want to let a duder in a beta when he's running Smartlaunch and a lot of other programs on computers at a LAN center in order to keep everything running without discs in the trays. = /
